Description

A kind of revolving roll that is used for pallet conveyer
The present invention relates to a kind of flat conveyer, relate in particular to a kind of revolving roll that is used for flat conveyer, this revolving roll is suitable for being supported on the below of flat conveyer chain, and flat conveyer chain is along the backward channel operation of flat conveyer.
Flat conveyer is used to conveying object, for example PET bottle and jar.Flat conveyer comprises a conveyer frame, a drive sprocket and a flower wheel, an and flat conveyer chain, wherein drive sprocket is with near flower wheel is arranged at the relative two ends of conveyer stands longitudinal, flat conveyer chain is looped around on drive sprocket and the flower wheel along the backward channel that transports passage and bottom of conveyer upper rack, and extends between the two.
Flat conveyer chain comprises a plurality of chain links, and these chain links and flat board are integral, and hinged in the form of a ring, thereby makes platen surface outside.Flat conveyer chain is driven in the on-cycle mode, thereby the object that is placed on the fully individual dull and stereotyped end face (load-bearing surface) is transferred along transporting passage.
This flat conveyer adopts the single-revolution roller, and purpose is to prevent that slat chain is along sagging in the backward channel motion process.One is fixedly attached on the frame of conveyer, and this axle is inserted into by an axis hole, thereby revolving roll is rotatably supported on the axle, and the core that wherein said axis hole passes revolving roll extends.Revolving roll is supporting the ventricumbent load-bearing surface of the lath of dull and stereotyped conveyer chain successively.When slat chain moved, revolving roll rotated by the friction force between the outer surface that results from load-bearing surface and revolving roll.
In the working process of pallet conveyer, when a stop component make object for example jar or the PET bottle when the downstream end of transporting passage or midway location stop, follow object to be blocked in thereafter, and the bottom surface that slat chain stops up object with the load-bearing surface edge of flat board keep moving in the object back of stopping.
Like this, if the friction coefficient between load-bearing surface and the object bottom surface is bigger, and object has unsettled shape, and the load-bearing surface of the object flat board that will be moved forward drags down so.For reducing friction coefficient,, soap water can be supplied with load-bearing surface transporting in the process of object.Because the use of the PET bottle of bottom surface injustice increases, and promptly the bottom surface of PET bottle can be unsettled petal-shaped, so dull and stereotyped and chain link just can pass through to produce the whole parts that form an one of resin of smooth surface, thereby makes load-bearing surface become smooth at present.
As shown in Figure 7, when the product of μ l (friction coefficient between the load-bearing surface 1 of the flat board 2 of each chain link 3 and the circumferential surface of revolving roll 4) and r1 (radius of revolving roll 4) during less than the product of μ 2 (friction coefficient between the circumferential surface of axle 5) and r2 (radius of axis hole 6); Promptly when μ 1 * r1<μ 2 * r2, revolving roll 4 does not rotate, and dull and stereotyped 2 slide on the circumferential surface of revolving roll 4.
If slat chain 7 slides on the circumferential surface of non-rotary revolving roll 4 for a long time, simultaneously slat chain 7 since the weight of self at the downward sagging of the upstream and downstream of revolving roll, as shown in Figure 7, so dull and stereotyped 2 load-bearing surface 1 will be recessed surperficial 1a by wearing and tearing prejudicially, as shown in Figure 8, thereby may cause dropping of object, for example have the PET bottle of unstable bottom shape.
Even the friction force between the circumferential surface that result from dull and stereotyped load-bearing surface and revolving roll than hour, the increase of revolving roll diameter also helps the rotation of revolving roll.But therefore the weight of conveyer frame also can increase.
In addition, in the moving process of slat chain,, therefore influence service conditions owing to dull and stereotyped load-bearing surface and the bump repeatedly between the revolving roll have produced noise.
The objective of the invention is to solve the problems referred to above of the traditional revolving roll that is used for pallet conveyer, and provide a kind of revolving roll of pallet conveyer, contact although exist between revolving roll and the load-bearing surface, but this revolving roll can prevent the wearing and tearing of dull and stereotyped load-bearing surface, and can reduce the noise that is produced by the bump between flat board and the revolving roll.
For achieving the above object, the invention provides a kind of revolving roll that is used for pallet conveyer, in pallet conveyer, dull and stereotyped conveyer chain transports passage and bottom backward channel transmission in the on-cycle mode along top, thereby the object that is placed on the dull and stereotyped load-bearing surface is transferred along transporting passage, and make revolving roll in the backward channel of bottom below the support plate chain.This revolving roll comprises a roller core and an outer shroud.Roller core is provided with an axis hole in the heart part therein, and this axis hole passes roller core and extends axially.The axle that is fixed on the conveyer frame inserts in the axis hole, so that roller core can be rotated to support on the axle.Outer shroud is assembled on the roller core with one heart.The external peripheral surface of outer shroud is supporting dull and stereotyped load-bearing surface.The product of friction coefficient is set to larger than the product of friction coefficient between axis hole radius and axis hole and the axle between the load-bearing surface of the radius of the external peripheral surface of outer shroud and the external peripheral surface of outer shroud and flat board.The external peripheral surface of outer shroud is made by elastic body, compares with the load-bearing surface of flat board, and this elastic body is softer.
By adopting above-mentioned friction law, when flat board was mobile, the revolving roll threaded shaft smoothly rotated, and can not skid between the load-bearing surface of revolving roll and flat board.In addition, by using the material of elastic body, make the load-bearing surface of flat board have scuffing or the worn-down function that produces that contact that prevents by load-bearing surface with the revolving roll of flat board as circumferential surface outside the outer shroud.
Therefore, can keep the flatness of the load-bearing surface of flat board, thus can keep for a long time may be because center of gravity be high the stable traffic capacity of unsettled homogeneous object.
Utilize above-mentioned elastic body also can be reduced in the impact noise between the revolving roll and flat board in the slat chain moving process as the material of circumferential surface outside the outer shroud.
Be preferably on the inner circumferential surface of the external peripheral surface of roller core and outer shroud a mate is set.Mate is interlocked mutually, thereby prevents the relative dislocation between outer shroud and the roller core.
Above-mentioned engagement features can prevent the vibration of the revolving roll that caused by flat board and the dislocation of the relative roller core of outer shroud that produces.Thereby, can increase the durability of revolving roll.
