A full-dimensional guide to ordering double-deck speed chain conveyor lines: space folding and intelligent control


I. Core value: double breakthroughs in space folding and differential efficiency

The essence of a double-deck multiplier chain conveyor line is toA synergistic revolution in space utilisation and conveyance efficiency. Its physical basis lies in the roller (diameter D) and the roller (diameter d) of theDiameter ratio (D/d ≈ 1.5-3)The speed of the workpiece is realised by motion superposition V= V₀×(1+D/d), which allows the workpiece to be accelerated up to 2.5-3 times when the chain is running at 1.0m/s. This design derives two core advantages:

  • 3D reuseVertical circulation structure enables the production line to cover an area ofReduction 40%, cracking the space dilemma for small and medium-sized factories;
  • Gravity kinetic energy reuse: Integrated flywheel energy storage system with 25° inclined return rail, recycling30% Sliding MomentumDrive the jacking mechanism to reduce the overall energy consumption by 28%;
  • Flexible beat control: Hydraulic wedge blockers position the workpiece plate with ±0.5 mm accuracy and support the independent operation of the workstations without interrupting the flow of the entire line.

personal insightThe essence of the double-layer speed chain is "the folding art of space and time" - expanding the flat limitations with a three-dimensional layout and compressing the intervals between work processes with a differential speed mechanism, which is reshaping the physical laws of industrial production by reconstructing space and time.

Self-questioning: analysis of core procurement issues

Q1:How to balance the contradiction between the selection of 2.5x and 3x?

A: Followthe Triangle Law of Efficiency (physics)::

  • Stability first(Automotive/Heavy Industry): Select 3x speed + downspeed control (15% downspeed for loads >1500kg)
  • Efficiency first(Electronics/Light Industry): Optional 2.5x speed + tungsten carbide roller (speed ratio fluctuation <2%)
  • Cost-sensitive scenarios: 2.5x speed roller lasts longer than 3x speed 40%

Q2: How do you circumvent the interference of the lower layers of the double layer on the line?

A.Three Principles of Space-Time Segmentation::

  1. Laser alignment barriers: 16-point photoelectric protection between load shifts (response <0.1 sec)
  2. Staggered scheduling algorithm: upper and lower workpiece intersection time difference ≥ 1.2 seconds
  3. Hydraulic cushioning redundancy: absorbs 240J of impact kinetic energy

  • 8 seconds module reconfiguration time(Interface standardisation validation)
