Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying device technology, and in particular to a material reversing conveying line. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of photovoltaic modules, assembly lines are often used for transportation. The assembly line connects processing positions, allowing photovoltaic modules to move from one processing position to another.

[0003] Chinese patent CN220466606U discloses a directional feeding and discharging lifting assembly line for solar modules, including an X-axis conveying component, a Y-axis conveying component, and a lifting mechanism. The X-axis and Y-axis conveying components are perpendicular to each other in the horizontal plane. The lifting mechanism drives the X-axis conveying component to rise and fall, allowing photovoltaic modules to be selectively conveyed onto either the X-axis or Y-axis conveying components. However, the Y-axis conveying component has a complex structure, and the posture of the photovoltaic modules does not change when the conveying direction is switched. Sometimes, it is necessary for one side of the photovoltaic module to always be at the front in the conveying direction, and this type of assembly line cannot meet the requirements.

[0004] Chinese patent CN223253990U discloses a double-layer rotary automatic conveyor system. A transmission device is located on top of a worktable and includes an X-axis roller conveyor, a Y-axis conveyor belt, and a steering unit. The steering unit can drive the X-axis roller conveyor and the Y-axis conveyor belt to change their orientation, thereby controlling the direction of the conveyed object (engine). However, when conveying photovoltaic modules, it is necessary to prevent centrifugal force from causing the photovoltaic modules to slip, leading to inaccurate conveying direction. In severe cases, there is a risk of the photovoltaic modules falling and damaging themselves, or injuring people.

[0005] Photovoltaic modules are quite heavy. After frequent rotation, the steering unit will gradually deviate from the initial angle, causing the conveyor lines before and after the steering to be unable to align with the inlet and outlet, which may cause a collision hazard.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the structure of the conveyor line to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The main objective of this invention is to provide a material reversing conveyor line that prevents photovoltaic modules from falling during reversal, thus preventing damage and injury. It also facilitates the zeroing of the relative position of the rotating frame with respect to the motor base plate.

[0008] This utility model achieves the above objective through the following technical solution: a material reversing conveyor line, comprising: The bracket includes a fixed frame, a support frame disposed on the upper part of the fixed frame, and a motor base plate disposed in the middle of the support frame. A first zeroing plate is fixed on the motor base plate, and a first alignment seam is vertically provided on the first zeroing plate. A conveying assembly is located on the top of the support. The conveying assembly includes a rotating frame and two belt lines located on both sides of the rotating frame. The two belt lines are parallel to each other. A blocking assembly is provided on the outlet side of the two belt lines. Multiple guide wheels are provided on the outer side of each belt line. The guide wheels on each side are arranged along the conveying direction of the belt lines. A second zeroing plate is fixed on the rotating frame. A second alignment seam is vertically provided on the second zeroing plate. A rotating mechanism is located on the upper part of the support and drives the conveying assembly to rotate around a vertical axis. The middle part of the rotating frame is fixed to the drive shaft of the rotating mechanism.

[0009] The enclosure structure includes side plates surrounding the conveying assembly and a bottom plate located below the conveying assembly. One side of the side plate has an inlet, and an outlet is located on its adjacent side. When the first alignment seam and the second alignment seam are aligned, the input direction of the conveying assembly faces the inlet. Specifically, the rotation angle range of the conveying assembly is 90°.

[0010] Specifically, the fixed frame is a rectangular frame, and the support frame is also a rectangular frame. The two ends of the long side of the support frame are placed on the long side of the fixed frame, and the long side of the support frame is perpendicular to the long side of the fixed frame.

[0011] Specifically, the fixed frame has four supporting feet at its four corners, and the height of the supporting feet is at least 2m.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the supporting feet is provided with an oblique reinforcing foot at its lower part.

[0013] Specifically, the conveying assembly also includes multiple crossbeams that simultaneously support two conveyor belts.

[0014] Specifically, the blocking assembly includes a blocking cylinder connected to the inside of the belt conveyor and a blocking block that is driven to rise and fall by the blocking cylinder.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model's technical solution are: 1. This utility model uses the rotation of the conveyor belt to switch the conveyor posture of the photovoltaic module, ensuring that one of the wide sides of the photovoltaic module is always in front of the conveyor direction. Furthermore, guide wheels restrict the movement of the photovoltaic module to a certain width. As the photovoltaic module rotates with the conveyor belt, it also prevents it from falling off the side of the conveyor belt, avoiding product damage or injury, and ensuring safe conveying.

[0016] 2. The relative positions of the second zeroing plate and the rotating frame are fixed, as are the relative positions of the first zeroing plate and the motor base plate. During rotation, these two relative positions will not change. Therefore, as long as the first and second alignment seams are aligned during the initial alignment, ensuring the input direction of the conveying component is aligned with the inlet, subsequent zeroing can be performed using the first and second alignment seams as a reference. Zeroing is achieved by fine-tuning the fixed angle between the rotating frame and the drive shaft of the rotating mechanism. This is done by visually adjusting the position of the second zeroing plate until the second alignment seam aligns with the first alignment seam. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0020] Example: like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this utility model discloses a material reversing conveyor line, comprising a support frame 1, a conveying assembly 2, a rotating mechanism 3, and a containment structure 4. The conveying assembly 2 is located on top of the support frame 1, and the rotating mechanism 3 is located on the upper part of the support frame 1 and drives the conveying assembly 2 to rotate around a vertical axis. The rotation angle range of the conveying assembly 2 is 90°. The containment structure 4 surrounds the sides and bottom of the conveying assembly 2.

[0021] The support frame 1 serves as the fixed foundation for the conveying assembly 2, the rotating mechanism 3, and the enclosure structure 4. It rests on the ground and positions all three at the required conveying height. The conveying assembly 2 is used to convey photovoltaic modules horizontally. The rotating mechanism 3 can consist of a motor and a reducer, or it can be composed of a cylinder, rack, pinion, gear, or other similar structures. The rotating mechanism 3 allows the conveying assembly 2 to switch between two different conveying directions; in this embodiment, the two conveying directions are perpendicular. The enclosure structure 4 prevents the photovoltaic modules from falling to the side or downwards, ensuring safe conveying.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the bracket 1 includes a fixed frame 11, four support feet 12 located at the four corners of the fixed frame 11, a support frame 13 located on the upper part of the fixed frame 11, and a motor base plate 14 located in the middle of the support frame 13. The rotating mechanism 3 is located on the motor base plate 14. The fixed frame 11 is a rectangular frame, and the support frame 13 is also a rectangular frame. The two ends of the long side of the support frame 13 rest on the long side of the fixed frame 11, and the long side of the support frame 13 is perpendicular to the long side of the fixed frame 11. The length of the support feet 12 is not less than 2m, and each support foot 12 has a diagonal reinforcing foot 121 at its lower part. The motor base plate 14 is provided with a first zeroing plate 141, and the first zeroing plate 141 is vertically provided with a first alignment seam 1411.

[0023] In this embodiment, the area below the conveyor assembly 2 is a walkway for workers, so there must be a sufficient height difference for an average adult to stand and pass under the support 1. Therefore, the height of the support foot 12 is at least 2m. Given the relatively high height of the support foot 12, it is necessary to reinforce it with inclined reinforcing feet 121 to prevent the entire assembly line from collapsing. The rotating shaft of the conveyor assembly 2 (the axis of the rotating mechanism 3) needs to be located in the upper middle of the entire support 1. Therefore, the rotating mechanism 3 can be installed in the required position through the fixing frame 11, the support frame 13, and the motor base plate 14.

[0024] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the conveying assembly 2 includes a rotating frame 21, two belts 22 located on both sides of the rotating frame 21, and multiple crossbeams 23 that support the two belts 22. The middle part of the rotating frame 21 is fixed to the drive shaft of the rotating mechanism 3. The two belts 22 are parallel to each other. A blocking assembly 24 is provided on the outlet side of the two belts 22. The blocking assembly 24 includes a blocking cylinder 241 connected to the inner side of the belt 22 and a blocking block 242 driven to rise and fall by the blocking cylinder 241. Multiple guide wheels 25 are provided on the outer side of the two belts 22. The guide wheels 25 on each side are arranged along the conveying direction of the belts 22.

[0025] The rotating frame 21 serves as the mounting base for the remaining components of the conveyor assembly 2 and transmits the rotational power of the rotating mechanism 3. Two belt conveyors 22 move the photovoltaic modules in the same direction. The rotation of the belt conveyors 22 causes the photovoltaic modules to switch conveying postures, ensuring that one wide side of the photovoltaic module is always in front of the conveying direction. The crossbeam 23 can form multiple connection points between the two belt conveyors 22, ensuring parallelism between them and giving the entire conveyor assembly 2 better resistance to deformation. The blocking block 242 controls the photovoltaic modules to stop at appropriate positions. When the photovoltaic modules need to pass through the blocking component 24, the blocking cylinder 241 controls the blocking block 242 to descend. The guide wheel 25 restricts the movement of the photovoltaic modules to a certain width and prevents them from falling off the sides of the belt conveyors 22 as the photovoltaic modules rotate with the conveyor assembly 2, avoiding product damage or injury and ensuring conveying safety.

[0026] like Figure 3 and, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the rotating frame 21 is provided with a second zeroing plate 211, and a second alignment seam 2111 is vertically arranged on the second zeroing plate 211. When the first alignment seam 1411 is aligned with the second alignment seam 2111, the input direction of the conveying assembly 2 is towards the inlet 43.

[0027] The relative positions of the second zeroing plate 211 and the rotating frame 21 are fixed, and the relative positions of the first zeroing plate 141 and the motor base plate 14 are also fixed. During rotation, these two relative positions will not change. Therefore, as long as the first alignment seam 1411 and the second alignment seam 2111 are aligned during the initial alignment, ensuring that the input direction of the conveying component 2 is aligned with the inlet 43, subsequent zeroing can be performed again based on the first alignment seam 1411 and the second alignment seam 2111. Zeroing is achieved by fine-tuning the fixed angle between the rotating frame 21 and the drive shaft of the rotating mechanism 3. Visually, the position of the second zeroing plate 211 is adjusted until the second alignment seam 2111 aligns with the first alignment seam 1411.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the enclosure structure 4 includes a side plate 41 surrounding the conveying assembly 2 and a bottom plate 42 located below the conveying assembly 2. One side of the side plate 41 is provided with an inlet 43, and its adjacent side is provided with an outlet 44.

[0029] Side plate 41 is a series of plate-shaped components that surround the space above base plate 42, and its height is generally higher than the conveying surface of conveying component 2. However, since the photovoltaic module needs to move within the conveying surface, the side plate 41 must have inlet and outlet channels for the photovoltaic module (i.e., inlet 43 and outlet 44). Inlet 43 and outlet 44 are notches or grooves located on side plate 41. Because the photovoltaic module generally moves with its wide side facing forward, the width of inlet 43 and outlet 44 must be at least greater than the width of the photovoltaic module.

[0030] The workflow of the material reversing conveyor line is as follows: 1. Before operation, the first zeroing plate 141 and the second zeroing plate 211 are aligned so that the feeding direction of the conveying component 2 is aligned with the inlet 43.

[0031] 2. The preceding conveyor line guides the photovoltaic module from inlet 43 above the belt conveyor 22, which then moves the module further towards the side plate 41. Before the module is fully in place, the blocking cylinder 241 drives the blocking block 242 to rise below the conveyor height of the belt conveyor 22, thus stopping the module. All the guide wheels 25 and the raised blocking block 242 form a three-sided blocking area, stopping the module in the appropriate position and halting the belt conveyor 22.

[0032] 3. The rotating mechanism 3 drives the conveying assembly 2 to rotate 90°. Then the photoelectric sensor 15 will sense the second zeroing plate 211, so that the discharge direction of the conveying assembly 2 is aligned with the outlet 44.

[0033] 4. After the conveyor component 2 rotates into position, the blocking block 242 descends, releasing the obstruction. Then the belt conveyor 22 continues to run, sending the photovoltaic module out from the outlet 44.

[0034] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and improvements fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
