Design of Metal Barrel Production Line (Part Four)

( Two ) shunt device

In steel drum making machine production process, the following situations , you need to set the shunt device:

( A ) feeding device working capacity , the need simultaneously to several cooperage equipment feeding ;

( 2 ) from the production capacity of the equipment to the production capacity of cooper cooper smaller pieces of equipment transporting barrels ;

( 3 ) the barrel through the automatic test equipment pieces into qualified and unqualified branching output ;

( 4 ) of the barrel parts and scrap ( bottom corner ) shunt output.

Layout of parallel or hybrid -type automatic production line, must be equipped with appropriate shunt devices. It can be a regular item on the conveyor belt to allocate certain sections parallel to the conveyor belt, and then transferred to a subsequent flight.

There are many types of shunting devices , the general common multiple columns and steering wheel plate chain type and so on.

1 , multi-row chain belt

Figure 15 shows the multi-row chain belt diverter apparatus of simple structure, both the intermediate storage effect , barrel member can turn 90 °, suitable for drums or barrels are shunt product delivery . Commonly used in steel drums after painting a single row to multiple rows of conveying to divert conveyor oven , or finished barrel to multiple repositories or handling transportation and other venues . Multi-row chain belt can also be used to achieve power raceway .

2 , steering wheel -style

Figure 16 shows the steering wheel shunt means more complex transmission structure , for diversion bottom bucket , the finished product can also be used for diversion drums .
( Three ) confluence device

Layout of the plane and parallel hybrid automatic production lines, merging device configuration is also essential in order to host a number of units transported out of the drums tied product , through appropriate means confluence to converge to a conveyor line for subsequent the production process is completed another job . For example, multi-row out of the paint drying furnace steel drums , to enter a single row of screen printing machine for printing , you need to merge devices. Figure 17 is a common confluence baffle means .
( Four ) varying device

Should process routes and equipment layout requirements , the need to change the conveying direction of movement of the drum parts , or gesture, such as turning , turning , turning , turn around , etc. operate alone or in combination action .

One , turning

Turn is the transport of the bucket member in a horizontal plane rotated about a vertical axis at an angle ( more than a 90 ° or 180 °). Thereby changing the direction of movement , but the center of gravity position unchanged. Figure 18 is a schematic diagram of several commonly used turning device .

Turning device instances

2, the steering and turn around

Steering and a U-turn in the transport Commutation process, to the center of gravity of the drum member around the vertical axis of rotation through an angle ( more than a 90 ° or 180 °), and to maintain the original conveying direction and the center of gravity constant. Generally, in order to meet the automatic production line into the host materials such subsequent step and set up the need for such devices. Commonly used in a number of single-head cooperage equipment or steering transmission process between the U-turn , but also for some of the equipment changes the direction of feed steering requirements. Figure 19 shows the schematic diagram of a steering apparatus used .

3 , flip

Flip is rotating about a horizontal axis drum piece angle ( mostly 90 °), the center of gravity position has changed barrel , but the direction of movement is usually unchanged. Automatic production line is generally up to meet the feeding needs of the host to set the device . Commonly used in the middle of the horizontal line of drums cooperage for the vertical flip to apply to vertical coating production line feed . Also commonly used in vertical coating production line at the end of a vertical steel drums into a horizontal flip horizontal screen printing machine to suit the feed . Figure 20 is a common horizontal conveyor for the vertical transport of drums turning typical devices.
