Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment technology, and in particular to a sheet metal chain transverse conveying mechanism device. Background Technology
[0002] As a key piece of equipment for material transfer in industrial production, the sheet metal chain transverse conveyor mechanism is widely used in many fields such as machinery manufacturing, electronic assembly, food processing, and logistics sorting due to its strong load-bearing capacity, high operational stability, and flexible conveying path. It has become a core component for realizing continuous and automated material conveying.
[0003] Because the conveyor chain in the continuous rolling production line of seamless steel pipe is subjected to large forces, the traditional device that uses cylinders to tension the conveyor chain is not suitable for this industrial field, as it is easy to damage the equipment. In addition, the gas in the cylinder is easily affected by the high-temperature working environment of continuous rolling production. The gas expands and contracts with temperature changes, and the shaft is prone to displacement, which affects the production line. Therefore, a device is needed that can adjust the tension of the conveyor chain while ensuring that the rotating shaft does not move.
[0004] The existing patent (publication number: CN215325114U) discloses a tensioning and positioning device for a steel pipe transverse conveyor chain. The cooperation of the screw, bolt, and traction sleeve can restrict the outward movement of the driven axis during equipment operation. The gap located at the position of the screw body is fixed by the insertion pad to prevent the driven axis from moving inward. The pad and the slide frame are integrated as a whole, which is more stable than the cylinder used in other fields. By restricting the driven axis in both inward and outward directions through this tensioning and positioning device, the conveyor chain is tensioned while ensuring structural stability, thus solving the problem of bulging caused by the chain being squeezed on the chain support.
[0005] Existing patents have provided solutions to the above problems. However, the continuous rolling process of seamless steel pipes generates a large amount of impurities such as iron oxide scale and metal shavings. These impurities are easy to adhere to the surface of the sheet metal conveyor belt and the gaps between the chain links. As the sheet metal chain moves, the impurities will enter the gaps of the tensioning and positioning components, sprockets, rollers and other transmission components. This not only aggravates the wear of the components and affects the tensioning and positioning accuracy, but may also cause the conveyor chain to stall due to the obstruction of impurities, or even damage the equipment.
[0006] Therefore, a sheet metal chain transverse conveying mechanism device is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a sheet metal chain transverse conveying mechanism that can solve the problem that a large amount of impurities such as iron oxide scale and metal shavings are generated during the continuous rolling process of existing seamless steel pipes. These impurities are easy to adhere to the surface of the sheet metal chain conveyor belt and the gaps between the chain links. As the sheet metal chain moves, the impurities will enter the gaps of transmission components such as tensioning and positioning components, sprockets, and rollers. This not only aggravates the wear of components and affects the tensioning and positioning accuracy, but may also cause the conveyor chain to jam due to the impurities, or even damage the equipment.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sheet metal chain transverse conveying mechanism device, including a conveyor frame, a sheet metal chain conveyor belt installed inside the conveyor frame, a cleaning mechanism provided at the bottom of the sheet metal chain conveyor belt, the cleaning mechanism including a collection component and a scraping component, the collection component including a fixed frame, the scraping component including a vertical plate, the vertical plate being fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame, a support block being fixedly connected to the top of the vertical plate, a brush plate being bolted to the top of the support block, and the number of brush plates being set to multiple, soft bristles being adhered to the top of the brush plates, and the tips of the soft bristles being in contact with the surface of the sheet metal chain conveyor belt.
[0009] Preferably, the fixed frame is fixedly connected to the bottom inside the conveyor frame, and a collection box is movably connected inside the fixed frame.
[0010] Preferably, positioning grooves are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the fixed frame, and positioning blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the collection box, with the positioning blocks slidably connected to the positioning grooves.
[0011] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the front side of the collection box, and a magnetic block is embedded in the interior of the fixing plate near the fixing frame.
[0012] Preferably, the fixing frame is made of metal and is used in conjunction with the magnetic block.
[0013] Preferably, the top of both the collection box and the inner wall of the fixing frame are inclined, and the outer side of the fixing frame is in close contact with the inner wall of the conveyor.
[0014] Preferably, the support block is hollow inside, and the top of the support block has multiple suction holes located between two adjacent brush plates.
[0015] Preferably, an industrial mini negative pressure vacuum cleaner is fixedly installed on the outside of the conveyor frame, and the suction end of the industrial mini negative pressure vacuum cleaner is fixedly connected to a conduit, with the other end of the conduit passing through the conveyor frame and fixedly connected to the support block.
[0016] Preferably, the conveyor frame has two side plates arranged symmetrically inside, and multiple rollers are rotatably mounted on the inner side of each side plate.
[0017] Preferably, electric push rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the conveyor frame, and the telescopic ends of the electric push rods are fixedly connected to the outer side of the side plate.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] 1. This application sets up a scraping component, which uses the soft bristles on the top of the brush plate to flexibly adhere to the surface of the sheet metal conveyor belt. During the operation of the sheet metal conveyor belt, the soft bristles can make close contact with the surface of the sheet metal conveyor belt, thereby efficiently scraping off the adhering iron oxide scale, metal shavings and other impurities, and preventing impurities from entering the gap of the transmission components as the sheet metal conveyor belt moves.
[0020] 2. This application, by setting up a collection component, allows for the centralized collection of impurities through the cooperation of the fixed frame and the collection box. The inclined design of the top of the inner wall of the fixed frame and the collection box guides the scraped or adsorbed impurities to slide quickly into the collection box, preventing impurity accumulation. The sliding cooperation between the positioning groove and the positioning block facilitates the pulling and disassembly of the collection box. The magnetic block and the metal fixed frame adhere to each other, ensuring the stability of the collection box after installation and preventing the collection box from shifting during equipment operation. At the same time, the fixed frame fits tightly against the inner wall of the conveyor frame, preventing impurities from scattering into other areas inside the conveyor frame, further improving the cleaning effect.

[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] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0029] The sheet metal chain transverse conveying mechanism includes a conveyor frame 1, a sheet metal chain conveyor belt 2 installed inside the conveyor frame 1, and a cleaning mechanism 3 provided at the bottom of the sheet metal chain conveyor belt 2. The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a collection component 31 and a scraping component 32. The collection component 31 includes a fixed frame 311, and the scraping component 32 includes a vertical plate 321. The vertical plate 321 is fixedly connected to the top inside the fixed frame 311. A support block 322 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical plate 321. A brush plate 323 is bolted to the top of the support block 322, and the number of brush plates 323 is set to multiple. Soft bristles 324 are glued to the top of the brush plates 323, and the top of the soft bristles 324 is in contact with the surface of the sheet metal chain conveyor belt 2.
[0030] In this embodiment: by setting up the scraping component 32, the vertical plate 321 can provide a stable mounting base for the support block 322, brush plate 323, and soft bristles 324, ensuring that the scraping component 32 as a whole maintains a precise relative position with the sheet metal conveyor belt 2, thus ensuring the stability of the cleaning operation; the support block 322 can provide a detachable mounting carrier for multiple brush plates 323, making it easy to replace the brush plates 323 later according to cleaning needs or component wear, and its hollow internal design allows it to be connected to the industrial small negative pressure vacuum cleaner 5 through the conduit 6, which can quickly adsorb the impurities brushed off by the soft bristles 324, forming a synergistic cleaning mode of scraping followed by adsorption. To prevent fine impurities from scattering again, multiple brush plates 323 are evenly distributed on the top of the support block 322, expanding the contact and cleaning range with the sheet metal conveyor belt 2. This ensures that impurities on the conveyor belt surface and in the gaps between chain links are covered and cleaned. At the same time, the bolted installation method simplifies the maintenance process and reduces the cost of use. Soft bristles 324 are adhered to the top of the brush plates 323 and flexibly fit the surface of the sheet metal conveyor belt 2. This allows them to penetrate deep into the gaps between the sheet metal chain links to accurately scrape off adhering iron oxide scale, metal shavings, and other impurities, while avoiding hard contact that could cause wear to the surface of the sheet metal conveyor belt 2. This ensures the cleaning effect while extending the service life of the sheet metal conveyor belt 2.
[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the fixed frame 311 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inside of the conveyor frame 1, and the collection box 312 is movably connected inside the fixed frame 311.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, positioning grooves 313 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the fixed frame 311, and positioning blocks 314 are fixedly connected to both sides of the collection box 312, and the positioning blocks 314 are slidably connected to the positioning grooves 313.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a fixing plate 315 is fixedly connected to the front side of the collection box 312, and a magnetic block 316 is embedded in the interior of the fixing plate 315 near the fixing frame 311.
[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the fixing frame 311 is made of metal and is used in conjunction with the magnetic block 316.
[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the top of the inner wall of the collection box 312 and the fixing frame 311 are both inclined, and the outer side of the fixing frame 311 is closely attached to the inner wall of the conveyor frame 1.
[0036] In this embodiment: Through the above settings, the fixed frame 311 can provide a stable installation space for the collection box 312. Simultaneously, its outer side is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the conveyor frame 1, preventing scraped impurities from scattering into other areas inside the conveyor frame 1 and avoiding impurities entering the gaps in the transmission components. The collection box 312 is the carrier for concentrated collection of impurities. The inclined design of its inner wall top and the top of the fixed frame 311 guides scraped or adsorbed impurities to quickly slide into the collection box 312, preventing impurities from accumulating on the top of the fixed frame 311 and ensuring the continuity of the cleaning operation. Positioning The groove 313 and the positioning block 314 work together to provide guidance for the pull-out and disassembly of the collection box 312, and to ensure the stability of the relative position of the collection box 312 and the fixed frame 311 after installation, thus preventing the collection box 312 from shaking and shifting during equipment operation. The magnetic block 316 can adhere to the fixed frame 311, further enhancing the stability of the collection box 312 after installation and preventing the collection box 312 from accidentally sliding out when the equipment is running at high speed. At the same time, the magnetic connection method does not require an additional locking structure, which simplifies the disassembly and assembly of the collection box 312 and improves the convenience of impurity cleaning.
[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the support block 322 is hollow inside, and the top of the support block 322 has multiple suction holes 4, which are located between two adjacent brush plates 323.
[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, an industrial small negative pressure vacuum cleaner 5 is fixedly installed on the outside of the conveyor frame 1. The suction end of the industrial small negative pressure vacuum cleaner 5 is fixedly connected to a conduit 6, and the other end of the conduit 6 passes through the conveyor frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the support block 322.
[0039] In this embodiment: Through the above settings, the hollow structure design inside the support block 322 can provide a flow space for negative pressure airflow, and together with the multiple suction holes 4 opened on its top, it forms an adsorption force point; the suction holes 4 are set between two adjacent brush plates 323, which can be directly aimed at the key area where the brush plates 323 scrape off impurities, ensuring that the fine dust in the impurities can be quickly sucked in and preventing the fine dust from scattering everywhere; the industrial small negative pressure vacuum cleaner 5 can provide a power source for the adsorption operation, and form a directional airflow by generating a stable negative pressure suction force; the conduit 6 is used to realize the precise transmission of negative pressure suction force, which can transmit the negative pressure suction force generated by the industrial small negative pressure vacuum cleaner 5 to the support block 322, so that the fine dust scraped off by the brush plates 323 can be sucked in from the suction holes 4. At the same time, the conduit 6 can safely transport the sucked dust to the collection chamber of the industrial small negative pressure vacuum cleaner 5, which facilitates the centralized treatment of impurities and avoids pollution of the production environment.
[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the conveyor frame 1 has two side plates 7 arranged symmetrically inside, and multiple rollers 8 are rotatably installed on the inner side of the side plates 7.
[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, electric push rods 9 are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the conveyor frame 1, and the telescopic ends of the electric push rods 9 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the side plate 7.
[0042] In this embodiment: Through the above settings, the two side plates 7 can form a bidirectional limit on the material on the sheet metal conveyor belt 2, preventing the material from deviating or overturning during lateral conveying, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of material conveying; the rollers 8 can convert the hard sliding friction between the material and the side plates 7 into rolling friction, greatly reducing the conveying resistance and avoiding scratches and wear caused by direct contact between the side plates 7 and the material surface. At the same time, the evenly distributed design of multiple rollers 8 can make the limiting force more balanced, further improving the stability of the material conveying process; the electric push rod 9 can drive the two side plates 7 to move closer or further away synchronously, thereby adapting to the conveying needs of materials with different diameters and specifications.
[0043] Working principle: First, according to the diameter of the material to be conveyed, the electric actuator 9 is activated, causing the telescopic end of the electric actuator 9 to drive the two symmetrically arranged side plates 7 to move synchronously. The distance between the inner rollers 8 of the side plates 7 and the material is adjusted to ensure proper material movement during conveying. Then, the sheet metal conveyor belt 2 and the industrial small negative pressure vacuum cleaner 5 are activated simultaneously. The sheet metal conveyor belt 2 will drive the material to move along the conveying direction. During the operation of the sheet metal conveyor belt 2, the inner rollers 8 of the side plates 7 will contact the material, converting hard friction into rolling friction, thereby reducing the risk of scratching the material surface. Simultaneously, it provides limiting and guiding for the material, ensuring conveying stability. Meanwhile, the soft bristles 324 on the top of the brush plate 323 will contact the surface of the sheet metal conveyor belt 2, thereby scraping off impurities such as iron oxide scale adhering to the surface of the sheet metal conveyor belt 2. Furthermore, due to the fixed frame 3... The top of the inner wall of the collection box 312 is inclined, so that larger impurities will slide directly into the collection box 312 under the action of gravity. The fine dust and debris brushed off by the soft bristles 324 will be sucked into the hollow channel inside the support block 322 by the suction hole 4 between the adjacent brush plates 323 under the suction of the industrial small negative pressure vacuum cleaner 5. Then, it will be transported to the collection chamber built into the industrial small negative pressure vacuum cleaner 5 through the conduit 6. This will clean the sheet metal conveyor belt 2 from the outside. When the impurities in the collection box 312 accumulate to a certain amount, the fixing plate 315 of the collection box 312 can be manually pulled to separate the magnetic block 316 from the fixing frame 311. Then, the collection box 312 can be pulled out along the positioning groove 313 to empty the impurities inside. After cleaning, the collection box 312 can be reset and the magnetic block 316 can be automatically attracted and fixed.
[0044] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
