Abstract

PURPOSE:To achieve reliable operation by guiding the motion of rope in the carrying region through many guide wheels while guiding the reset region of rope through proper number of supporting wheels thereby blocking the running- off of rope during operation of conveyor. CONSTITUTION:The carry section at the intermediate section of a rope 3 stretched across a drive wheel 1 and an inverted wheel 2 is guided by means of many guide wheels 18 cantilevered rotatably from an intermediate machine frame 17. While the rope 3 in the reset region is mounted on a supporting wheel 21 arranged below said guide wheels 18 and guided without loosening. Consequently, natural running-off of rope 3 is prevented resulting in reliable operation of rope conveyor.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a lobe conveyor in which a single shell feeding rope can be easily installed and removed.

2. Description of the Related Art A lobe conveyor is known in which objects are conveyed by being placed on an endless rope that circulates. This rope conveyor is
Compared to conveyors using endless chains or belts, this system has advantages such as being able to freely select the conveyance route and increasing the conveyance distance. However, there have been various problems in the past, and it cannot be said that the rope conveyor is sufficiently popular.

One of the above problems is that it is impossible to connect the ends of the rope to make it endless at the site where the lobe conveyor is installed.

Chain competition 4~ and belt conveyor chains and bells] can be made endless on site, but in the case of ropes, the connecting part must have the same diameter as the other parts. Therefore, it is difficult to carry out on-site work. Therefore, we used an endless rope prepared in advance to drive the vehicle.
Since the hook must be passed between the driven wheels, the driving wheel, driven wheel, and intermediate rope guide wheel must be removed from the machine frame each time the rope is replaced. Since rope conveyors are used in places where conveyance distances are long, the above-mentioned rope replacement work is a very troublesome work.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, this invention allows the rope to be replaced without removing the driving vehicle, even if the rope is endless, and also ensures that the rope does not come off naturally even during operation. It was completed for the purpose of providing a working rope conveyor. For this purpose, the rope conveyor of the present invention comprises a large number of guide cars that guide the movement of the rope in the transport area, and an appropriate number of support cars that are located below the guide cars and guide the rope in the return area. The main feature is that the guide wheel is supported on a cantilever, and further includes a drive wheel that is rotated by a drive device, a drive side tension wheel for rope tensioning located near the drive wheel, and a rope tensioner that is attached to the drive wheel together with the drive wheel. It is equipped with a driven wheel for passing, and a driven side tensioning wheel for lobe tensioning located near the driven wheel, and the driving wheel and the driving side tensioning wheel are cantilever-supported on the drive part machine frame, and the driven wheel and the driven side tensioning wheel are Another feature is that the side pulley is cantilever-supported on the machine frame with a single driven port.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on preferred embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of the entire rope conveyor of the present invention, with the middle portion omitted. This conveyor has a rope 3 strung between a driving wheel 1 and a driven wheel 2, and is operated by transmitting the rotation of a motor 4 to the driving wheel 1 through a chain 5. In this embodiment, although the rope conveyor is constructed by a pair of left and right endless ropes 3, 3, the driving wheel 1 and the driven wheel 2 are
There are also a pair of left and right wheels, but the driving vehicle 1. The drive motor 4 of each drive motor is common.

In the figure, reference numerals 6 and 6 denote drive side pulleys, which are pivotally supported near the drive wheel 1 in the open position between the drive wheel 1 and the driven wheel 2. The drive vehicle 1 is rolled up to return from the conveyance area (upper movement area) to the return area (lower movement area).
The rope 3 that has been reversed is guided to the upper end of the outer periphery of the drive side tension sheave 6. In the figure, reference numerals 7 and 7 denote driven side pulleys, which are pivotally supported near the driven wheel 2 in the open position between the driven wheel 2 and the drive wheel I.

The rope 3 in the return area passes through the two ends of the outer periphery of the driven side pulley 7, winds around the driven pulley 2, and is reversed to the conveyance area. The drive wheel 1 and the driving side pulley 6, as well as the driven wheel 2 and the driven side pulley 7, are pivotally supported by the drive section machine frame 8 and the drive section machine frame 9, respectively.In this embodiment, the respective machine frames The tension of the rope 3 is adjusted by being pivotally supported on a support 4ffllO, 11 which is slidable relative to 8.9.

The driving wheel 1, the driving side tension wheel 6, the driven wheel 2, and the driven side tension wheel 7 are supported by cantilevers. The ones shown in FIGS. 6 to 11 are supported by outer members of the drive unit frame 8 and the drive unit frame 9, respectively, but FIG. 12 shows one supported by inner members. It is. In this embodiment, the ropes 3, 3 are a pair of left and right ropes, so if the driving wheels 1, 1 are supported on a cantilever, the driving wheels 1, 1 must be rotated separately.

For this purpose, a pair of chain wheels 14, 14 are fitted onto a counter shaft 13 which is an extension of the output shaft 12 of the drive motor 4, and the drive wheel 1
, 1, and the chain wheels 16, 16 fitted on the shafts 15, 1 of the chains 5, 15, 15 are connected.

The intermediate transport area of the rope 3, which is passed between the drive wheel 1 and the driven wheel 2, is guided by a number of guide wheels 18, 18, which are rotatably cantilevered on the intermediate machine frame 17. carried out by In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a bracket 1-20 having a substantially U-shaped cross section is installed at the upper end of a floor-standing intermediate column 19.
The upper side is fixed as a U-shaped open side, and guide wheels 18, 18 are pivotally supported at both ends of the bracket 2°.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, a bracket 1 is fixed to the lower end of a hanging column 25 suspended from the ceiling, and a guide wheel 18, 18 is pivotally supported on the bracket.

In the figure, reference numerals 21, 21, . . . are support wheels on which the rope 3 in the return area is placed and supported so that the rope 3 does not become slack downward. Reference numeral 22.22 in the figure indicates a guide for guiding the conveyance of the conveyed object, and in the embodiment shown in FIGS. The guide support bracket 23 is attached to the guide support bracket 23. Then, the support vehicle 21.

As described in Section 2, the lobe conveyor of the present invention consists of a number of guide cars that guide the movement of the rope in the transport area, and an appropriate number of support cars that are located below the guide cars and guide the rope in the return area. From then on, conveyor operation.

To ensure reliable operation without the rope coming off during operation. Furthermore, since the guide wheel is supported on a cantilever, the rope can be easily installed. Furthermore, the driving wheel rotated by the drive device and the driving side shelving near the driving wheel are supported in a cantilever manner, and the driven wheel and the driven side shear near the driven wheel are supported in a cantilever manner. Coupled with the cantilevered support of the guide wheels, even ropes that have been made endless can be incorporated into the conveyor body extremely easily, making rope replacement work easy. It has a great effect. Therefore, it has the effect of increasing the practicality of the rope conveyor and contributing to the widespread use of the rope conveyor.
