Abstract
A triple conveyor includes a chain gear, a coaxial roller, and end wheels of a coaxle whereby the conveyor can transport products quickly and accurately, and reduce the noise and vibration of the conveyor so as to allow for the use of robots and the elimination of manpower in the factory.
Claims3
A triple conveyor comprising:
- a housing member,
- a main shaft member mounted in said housing member,
- a chain gear extending from a chain shaft, said chain shaft being coaxially mounted on said main shaft member, said chain shaft being provided with a raised bushing,
- a roller member coaxially mounted on said chain shaft through an inter-position of said raised bushing, said roller member combining three roller members,
- a plate washer coaxially mounted on said main shaft member and extending along a lateral side of said coaxial roller member,
- bearing housing coaxially mounted on said main shaft member adjacent said plate washer, said bearing housing containing bearings disposed therein for slidably attaching to said plate washer inserted into a hollow portion of said roller member,
- spring means coaxially mounted on said main shaft adjacent said bearing housing,
- a plurality of pallets supported by said three roller members, said pallets carrying a product thereon to be transported along said conveyor,
- an adjusting nut mounted on said main shaft for adjusting the resiliency of said spring means, and
- a fixing nut mounted to said main shaft member next to said adjusting nut, whereby, when a chain connected to the chain gear moves forward along a guide rail by a driving force from a motor, the chain gear and the roller member rotate simultaneously and the pallet carrying a product thereon is moved forward in the downstream direction of a conveyor line so that the conveyor can transport the product quickly and accurately, and reduce noise and vibration of the conveyor since the roller member is slidably attached to the chain shaft through said raised bushing and said bearing housing slidably confronts the plate washer.
