Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acrylic light guide plate manufacturing technology, and in particular to a strip collection and guiding device. Background Technology

[0002] In current production line operations, belt conveyors are a common material handling method, especially in industries such as textiles, packaging, and plastics processing, where materials such as scraps and waste often need to be collected. Traditionally, these materials are collected manually at the equipment exit, increasing labor intensity, impacting production efficiency, and posing safety hazards. While some simple flow guiding or collection devices exist, their structures are often simplistic, with fixed flow directions, making it difficult to accommodate materials of varying widths and materials. This can lead to blockages, deviations, or accumulation, resulting in incomplete collection and requiring frequent manual intervention, thus hindering truly automated continuous operation. Furthermore, existing flow guiding devices often employ integral welding or fixed designs, making installation and adjustment inconvenient, difficult to adapt to different equipment interfaces, and lacking versatility. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a structurally sound, easy-to-install, smoothly flowing, and highly adaptable scrap collection and guiding device to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0016] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features described therein can be combined with each other.

[0017] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0018] This utility model embodiment provides a strip collection and guiding device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the edge strip collecting and guiding device includes a mounting bracket 1, multiple guiding rollers 2, and a connecting support assembly 3. The mounting bracket 1 includes a fixing part 101 for fixed connection with an external device 4 and an inclined guiding end 102. The fixing part 101 and the guiding end 102 are integral. The multiple guiding rollers 2 are parallel to each other and spaced apart along the inclined direction to form a guiding channel for guiding the edge strip. The connecting support assembly 3 is disposed on the side of the mounting bracket 1 and is used to assemble the multiple guiding rollers 2 to the guiding end 102 of the mounting bracket 1.

[0019] The working principle of the edge strip collection and guiding device in this embodiment of the utility model is as follows: When the edge strip or other strip-shaped material 7 output by the external device 4 arrives at the device inlet, the material 7 falls into the guiding channel formed by multiple parallel guiding rollers 2 under the action of gravity and inertia; since the surface of the guiding rollers 2 is smooth and can rotate freely, the material 7 can slide smoothly down the inclined direction of the guiding end 102 of the mounting bracket 1 with low friction, and be guided to the designated collection container or subsequent work station through the end of the guiding channel, thereby realizing the automatic and continuous guiding and collection of the material 7 without the need for manual collection at the equipment outlet. Regarding the specific implementation of each component, it is only an example and not a limitation: the fixing part 101 of the mounting bracket 1 can be detachably or permanently fixed to the frame of the external device 4 by bolt connection, welding or clamping mechanism; the guiding end 102 can be designed as a flat plate or frame structure with a certain inclination angle, and its inclination angle can be adjusted in the range of 15° to 45° according to the material 7 sliding down. The guide roller 2 can be made of metal tube, plastic roller, or roller body with a low-friction coating. Its two ends are rotatably connected to the connecting support assembly 3 via bearings. An exemplary structure of the connecting support assembly 3 includes several support plates disposed on the side of the mounting bracket 1. A row of adjustment holes or long slots is formed on the support plates. The rotating shaft of the guide roller 2 passes through these holes and slots and is locked by fasteners, thereby achieving adjustable spacing and overall disassembly of the guide roller 2. Furthermore, the arrangement density and roller diameter of the guide roller 2 can be adaptively selected according to the width and thickness of the material 7. It should be understood that the connection form, tilt angle, roller body material, and adjustment structure involved in the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0020] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the edge strip collecting and guiding device also includes a horizontal guiding roller 5, which is also mounted on the fixing part 101 of the mounting bracket 1 via a connecting support assembly 3. Specifically, the horizontal guiding roller 5 can be installed on the fixing part 101 upstream of the outlet of the external equipment 4, with its axis direction being approximately horizontal or slightly inclined. It is used to receive the material 7 conveyed from the external equipment 4 and guide the material 7 smoothly into the guiding channel formed by the inclined guiding roller 2. The setting of the horizontal guiding roller 5 can effectively reduce the impact and rebound of the material 7 when it falls, and prevent the material 7 from being blocked or deviated when entering the inclined guiding section, thereby further improving the smoothness and reliability of the guiding process.

[0021] As an example implementation, the horizontal guide roller 5 can be mounted on the fixed part 101 using a support structure similar to that of the inclined guide roller 2. The connecting support assembly 3 may include mounting arms or adjusting plates extending into the region of the fixed part 101. The two ends of the shaft of the horizontal guide roller 5 are mounted on the adjusting plate via bearings or bushings, and the height or horizontal position can be finely adjusted using adjustment structures such as elongated holes or slots to accommodate external equipment 4 with different outlet heights or materials 7 with different falling trajectories. The surface of the horizontal guide roller 5 may also be made of the same or similar low-friction material as the guide roller 2 to ensure that the material 7 rolls smoothly on its surface.

[0022] In some embodiments, the fixing part 101 is provided with at least one mounting hole 103, which is used to pass through fasteners such as bolts and screws to realize a detachable connection between the mounting bracket 1 and the frame or mounting base of the external equipment 4. Through the cooperation of the mounting hole 103 and the fasteners, the entire flow guiding device can be firmly and flexibly installed at various equipment interface positions, significantly improving its adaptability and on-site installation efficiency.

[0023] As a specific example, the mounting hole 103 can be designed as an elongated hole, a slotted hole, or a series of spaced circular holes. An elongated hole or a slotted hole allows for continuous adjustment of the device's front-to-back or left-to-right position within a certain range during installation, facilitating precise alignment with the discharge port of the external device 4. When multiple circular mounting holes 103 are provided, multiple discrete mounting points can be offered to accommodate different device structures. After passing through the mounting hole 103, the fastener can directly engage with the threaded hole of the external device 4, or be locked in place with a nut. Furthermore, a gasket or rubber pad can be added to the contact surface between the fixing part 101 and the external device 4 to enhance connection stability and reduce vibration.

[0024] The advantages of this detachable connection method are as follows: First, it facilitates quick disassembly, assembly, and repositioning of the flow guide device according to changes in production line layout or equipment replacement; second, it allows for convenient overall disassembly of the device during maintenance, cleaning, or component replacement; and third, it can adapt to the installation requirements of different equipment models through simple hole adjustments, enhancing the device's versatility. It should be noted that the number, shape, arrangement, and type of fasteners used in the mounting holes 103 can be selected and varied according to actual load-bearing requirements and installation environment. The above examples are merely for illustrative purposes and do not constitute any limitation on the specific implementation of this utility model.

[0025] In some embodiments, the connecting support assembly 3 includes at least one support bar 301, which extends along the inclined direction of the guide end 102 of the mounting bracket 1 and is fixed to its side by welding, riveting, or bolting. The ends of each guide roller 2 are rotatably connected to mounting holes on the support bar 301 via bearings, bushings, or directly via rotating shafts, allowing the guide roller 2 to rotate freely around its own axis. The support bar 301 provides stable lateral support for the guide roller 2, ensuring that multiple guide rollers 2 remain parallel and evenly spaced, collectively forming a smooth flow channel.

[0026] Furthermore, the support bar 301 is detachably fixed to one side of the mounting bracket 1 via a bolt assembly. Specifically, through holes can be made at corresponding positions on the sides of the support bar 301 and the mounting bracket 1, and bolts can be inserted and tightened with nuts. The bolt assembly may include bolts, nuts, and standard parts such as washers and spring washers that may be used. This detachable connection method allows for flexible adjustment of the installation position of the support bar 301 according to the width of the material 7 or the flow guidance requirements, and even replacement of support bars 301 with different lengths or hole patterns, thereby changing the arrangement span or density of the guide rollers 2.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this structure are significant: First, the modular design of the support bar 301 facilitates the pre-assembly and overall disassembly of the guide roller 2, simplifying on-site installation and subsequent maintenance processes; second, the detachable connection makes it possible to adjust the width of the guide channel, improving the adaptability of the device to materials 7 of different specifications; third, when individual guide rollers 2 or support bars 301 are damaged, they can be easily replaced individually, reducing maintenance costs. It should be noted that the number, cross-sectional shape, material, and number of connection points between the support bars 301 and the mounting bracket 1 can all be adjusted according to actual load and stiffness requirements. For example, two support bars 301 can be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting bracket 1 to provide more balanced support.

[0028] In some embodiments, the diameters of the multiple guide rollers 2 are consistent, and the center distance between adjacent guide rollers 2 is equal. This regular arrangement design with equal diameters and spacing ensures a smooth and continuous inner wall of the formed guide channel, providing uniform support and guidance for the falling edge strips. This effectively prevents material from getting stuck, deflecting, or jumping due to local resistance or gap changes, thus ensuring a stable and reliable guide process. The specific values ​​of the diameter and spacing of the guide rollers 2 can be selected according to factors such as the thickness, hardness, and downward speed of the material. For example, for thin and soft edge strips, guide rollers 2 with smaller diameters and closer spacing can be used to provide sufficient support; for heavier or harder materials, the roller diameter and spacing can be appropriately increased to ensure structural strength and smoothness. In addition, the regular arrangement also facilitates quick installation and adjustment through the standardized holes on the connecting support assembly 3.

[0029] Furthermore, the included angle between the guide end 102 and the fixing part 101 is set to a range of 30° to 60°. This angle range is optimized by comprehensively considering the material sliding efficiency, the space occupied by the device, and the installation stability. When the included angle is within this range, the material can obtain sufficient sliding force under the action of gravity, achieving smooth and rapid flow, while avoiding problems such as excessive acceleration, excessive impact, or detachment from the guide channel due to an excessively steep angle, or insufficient sliding force and easy accumulation of the material due to an excessively gentle angle. For example, for materials with a high coefficient of friction, a smaller inclination angle close to 30° can be selected to ensure overcoming static friction; for lightweight materials that require rapid flow, a larger inclination angle close to 60° can be selected to improve efficiency. The inclination angle of the guide end 102 can be fixed during manufacturing through an integral molding process, or it can be designed to be adjustable through a hinge and locking mechanism to meet the needs of different working conditions.

[0030] In summary, the uniform arrangement of the guide rollers 2 and the optimized tilt angle of the guide end 102 combine to improve the guiding performance and adaptability of the device. It should be understood that the specific diameter and spacing of the guide rollers 2, as well as the exact tilt angle of the guide end 102, can be adaptively selected and adjusted according to the material characteristics, equipment layout, and space constraints in actual applications. The scope and implementation methods given above are merely illustrative examples and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the edge strip collection and guiding device also includes a material frame 6, which is arranged corresponding to the discharge port at the end of the guiding end 102, and is used to receive and centrally store the edge strips or other materials that smoothly slide down from the guiding channel. The setting of the material frame 6 constitutes a complete automatic collection unit, realizing full automation of the process from guiding, conveying to collection, and further eliminating the need for manual material receiving and transfer.

[0032] As an example implementation, the material frame 6 can be placed directly on the ground or workbench below the discharge port of the guide end 102, maintaining stability through its own weight or positioning structure. More preferably, the material frame 6 can be detachably connected to the guide end 102 of the mounting bracket 1 or an external fixing frame via hooks, slots, or guide rail mechanisms, ensuring its position is always precisely aligned with the discharge port and preventing material spillage. The material frame 6 itself can be designed as an open box, a collection bucket with a handle, or a mobile trolley with casters at the bottom, facilitating easy transport and emptying after filling. Its material can be selected according to the material characteristics, such as metal, plastic, or composite materials, and internal cushioning pads can be installed to reduce noise and wear when materials fall.

[0033] It should be noted that the specific shape, capacity, installation method, and connection form with the device of the material frame 6 can be widely varied and adapted according to actual collection needs and site space. For example, multiple small material frames arranged side by side can be used to collect different types of edge strips. The above specific description is only an example and is not the only limitation on the implementation of the material frame 6 in this utility model. Any design of a collection container that directly or indirectly receives materials at the end of the flow channel is a reasonable extension and protection scope of the technical solution of this utility model.

[0034] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions also fall within the scope of the present utility model. The patent protection scope of the present utility model should be defined by the claims.
