AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing work guide systems for conveyors are heavy, require complete replacement of guide rails when worn, and cannot accommodate slight dimensional changes in workpieces, limiting contact angles and adaptability.

Method used

A conveyor work guide system with rod-shaped guide rails featuring an arc-shaped guide surface and rail clamps that allow adjustable contact angles and independent fixing of guide rails, enabling quick replacement and adaptation to workpiece dimensions.

Benefits of technology

Enhances contact angle flexibility, allows quick rail replacement, and accommodates workpiece dimensional changes, improving system adaptability and efficiency.

Abstract

To easily replace a bar-shaped guide rail for a work guide in a conveyor and a chute, and to change an inclination angle.SOLUTION: A work guide system 10 for a conveyor has: a conveyor frame 20 for supporting a linear conveyor 1; a support device 30 including a rail clamp 40; and a plurality of bar-shaped guide rails 50 arranged in parallel with a conveyance direction of a workpiece 2 at a plurality of positions on the top, bottom, right, and left in a vertical cross section perpendicular to the conveyance direction, and slidably in contact with the workpiece 2. The rail clamp 40 is provided at multiple locations per guide rail 50 in the conveyor transport direction. The support device 30 includes the rail clamp 40 and an adjustment unit 42. The rail clamp 40 comprises clamping jaws, and the adjustment unit 42 supports a guide surface 51 of the guide rail 50 so as to freely move forward and backward linearly and diagonally with respect to the surface of the workpiece 2, and freely adjust the angle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
