The embodiment provides an assembly line conveying device 100, which has the advantages of achieving automatic reversing of products 170, reducing occupied space and improving space utilization rate, and will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1-3, an in-line conveyor 100 includes a first conveyor 110, a second conveyor 120, and a reversing mechanism 130. The first conveyor 110 includes a first output end 111, and the second conveyor 120 includes a first input end 121, wherein the first input end 121 is angled with respect to the first output end 111. The reversing mechanism 130 includes a pushing member 131 and a blocking member 132, the pushing member 131 is disposed at the junction of the first output end 111 and the first input end 121, and the pushing member 131 is used for pushing the product 170 from the first output end 111 to the first input end 121. The blocking member 132 is disposed on one side of the pushing member 131, and the blocking member 132 is used for blocking the product 170 pushed by the pushing member 131 and switching the product 170 from the moving direction of the first conveyor 110 to the moving direction of the second conveyor 120. The first output end 111 of the first conveyor belt 110 is connected to the first input end 121 of the second conveyor belt 120 at an included angle, specifically: when the axis of the first conveyor belt 110 along the length direction thereof intersects the axis of the second conveyor belt 120 along the length direction of the second conveyor belt 120, an included angle is formed between the two axes. The included angle may be a right angle, an acute angle, or an obtuse angle.

The first conveyor belt 110 and the second conveyor belt 120 of the assembly line conveyor device 100 provided by this embodiment form an included angle, which is beneficial to reducing the occupation of assembly lines on the site. The conveyor device is provided with a reversing mechanism 130, a pushing member 131 of the reversing mechanism 130 pushes the products 170 from the first conveyor belt 110 to the second conveyor belt 120, and a blocking member 132 of the reversing mechanism 130 blocks the products 170 pushed from the pushing member 131 and switches the products 170 from the moving direction of the first conveyor belt 110 to the moving direction of the second conveyor belt 120. That is, under the combined action of the pushing member 131 and the blocking member 132, the products 170 are automatically reversed at the junction of the first conveyor belt 110 and the second conveyor belt 120. This assembly line conveyor 100 has overcome the defect that traditional adoption turn conveyer belt arouses, and the occupation to the production place that significantly reduces improves the space utilization ratio to the production place. Meanwhile, the assembly line conveying device 100 also saves the labor cost of manual line transfer, and realizes automatic continuous production, thereby reducing the production cost.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1 to 3, the pushing member 131 is a rodless cylinder, and the direction of movement of the rodless cylinder is the same as the conveying direction of the first conveyor 110. Alternatively, the rodless cylinder moves in the same direction as the second conveyor belt 120. Further, the blocking member 132 is a reversing baffle, which is disposed on one side of the pushing member 131 and is disposed parallel to the conveying direction of the second conveyor belt 120. Specifically, the rodless cylinder comprises a piston rod and a moving body 1311 penetrating through the piston rod, and the piston in the piston rod drives the moving body 1311 outside the cylinder body (a magnetic ring is arranged in the moving body 1311) to move synchronously through magnetic force. The working principle is as follows: a group of permanent magnetic rings with high magnetism are arranged on the piston, magnetic lines of force act with another group of magnetic rings in the moving body 1311 sleeved outside through the thin-wall cylinder barrel, and the two groups of magnetic rings have strong attraction force due to the fact that the magnetism of the two groups of magnetic rings is opposite. When the piston is pushed by air pressure in the cylinder barrel, the magnetic ring sleeve outside the cylinder barrel is driven to move together under the action of magnetic force. The thrust of the cylinder piston must be adapted to the suction of the magnetic ring.

Referring to fig. 2, when the direction of motion of the rodless cylinder is the same as the direction of transport of the second conveyor belt 120, the reversing baffle is disposed at the first output end 111 of the first conveyor belt 110, and the plate surface of the reversing baffle is disposed parallel to the direction of motion of the second conveyor belt 120. The product 170 moves to the first output end 111 of the first conveyor 110 until the product 170 moves into abutment with the reversing stop. At this time, the moving body 1311 of the rodless cylinder abuts on the product 170, and the moving body 1311 moves along the transporting direction of the second transporting belt 120 and drives the product 170 to move until the product 170 is transported to the second transporting belt 120. The products 170 are moved by the second conveyor belt 120 in the moving direction of the second conveyor belt 120. In this manner, product 170 is also automatically reversed.

Referring to fig. 3, when the direction of movement of the rodless cylinder is the same as the direction of transport of the first conveyor belt 110, the reversing flapper is disposed on the first input end 121 of the second conveyor belt 120. The products 170 move to the first output end 111 of the first conveyor 110, the moving body 1311 of the rodless cylinder abuts against the products 170, and the moving body 1311 moves to drive the products 170 to move until the products 170 are pushed to the reversing baffle on the second conveyor 120. At this time, the products 170 are cut off by the reversing gate and move along the conveying direction of the first conveyor 110, and move along the moving direction of the second conveyor 120 by the second conveyor 120. I.e., the product 170 is automatically reversed.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1 to 3, the reversing mechanism 130 further includes a reversing sensor 133, the reversing sensor 133 is electrically connected to the pushing member 131, and the reversing sensor 133 is disposed on one side of the pushing member 131 for sensing the position of the product 170. Specifically, when the reversing sensor 133 detects that the product 170 approaches the pushing member 131, the reversing sensor 133 feeds an electrical signal corresponding to this information back to a controller (not shown), so that the controller controls the pushing member 131 to enter the working state, i.e., the pushing member 131 starts to push the product 170 to move. When the reversing sensor 133 does not detect that the product 170 is approaching the pusher 131, the reversing sensor 133 does not feed back information, and the pusher 131 remains inactive, i.e., the pusher 131 does not push the product 170. For example, referring to fig. 2, when the direction of motion of the rodless cylinder is the same as the direction of transport of the second conveyor belt 120, the reversing baffle is disposed at the first output end 111 of the first conveyor belt 110, and the plate surface of the reversing baffle is disposed parallel to the direction of movement of the second conveyor belt 120. The product 170 moves to the first output end 111 of the first conveyor belt 110 until the product 170 moves to a position abutting a reversing stop. The diverting sensor 133 now detects that the product 170 is approaching the rodless cylinder and feeds this information back to the controller, which controls the rodless cylinder to enter the operating state. Then, the moving body 1311 of the rodless cylinder abuts on the product 170, and the moving body 1311 moves along the transporting direction of the second transporting belt 120 and drives the product 170 to move until the product 170 is transported to the second transporting belt 120. The products 170 are moved by the second conveyor belt 120 in the moving direction of the second conveyor belt 120. In this manner, the product 170 is automatically reversed.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1 to 3, the assembly line conveyor 100 further includes a current limiting mechanism 140, the current limiting mechanism 140 is electrically connected to the reversing mechanism 130, and the current limiting mechanism 140 is disposed on the first conveyor 110 for limiting the amount of the products 170 entering the reversing mechanism 130.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1-3, when product 170 reaches flow restriction mechanism 140 and reversing mechanism 130 is performing a reversing operation, reversing mechanism 130 feeds back information that it is performing the reversing operation to the controller, which controls flow restriction mechanism 140 to be in a flow restriction state. That is, the flow restriction mechanism 140 blocks the transportation of the product 170, and ensures that the product 170 in the reversing mechanism 130 can be reversed first. When the product 170 reaches the current limiting mechanism 140 and the reversing mechanism 130 does not perform the reversing operation, the reversing mechanism 130 feeds back the information that the reversing mechanism does not perform the reversing operation to the controller, and the controller controls the current limiting mechanism 140 to be in the non-current limiting state. I.e., flow restriction 140 is not active, so that product 170 is directed into diverter 130 for diversion. In this manner, the restriction 140 limits the number of products 170 that can be introduced into the diverter 130, ensuring that only one product 170 is diverted at a time.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1 to 3, the current limiting mechanism 140 includes a current limiting cylinder 141 and a current limiting sensor 142 disposed at one side of the current limiting cylinder 141, the current limiting sensor 142 is electrically connected to the current limiting cylinder 141, the current limiting sensor 142 is used for sensing the position of the product 170, a movable plate 1411 is disposed at an end of the current limiting cylinder 141, and the movable plate 1411 is used for abutting against the product 170.

Specifically, when the sensor 142 senses that the product 170 is approaching the air restriction cylinder 141, the sensor 142 feeds this information back to the controller. At the same time, the controller receives information from whether the reversing mechanism 130 is in a reversing operation. If the controller receives the information that the reversing mechanism 130 is in the reversing operation, the controller controls the movable plate 1411 of the flow limiting cylinder 141 to abut against the product 170, so that the product 170 moving to the flow limiting mechanism 140 stops moving.

If the controller receives the information that the reversing mechanism 130 is in the non-reversing operation, the controller controls the flow-limiting cylinder 141 not to limit the flow of the product 170, so that the product 170 moving to the flow-limiting mechanism 140 smoothly enters the reversing structure. Then, the reversing sensor 133 of the reversing mechanism detects that the product 170 approaches the pushing member 131, the reversing sensor 133 feeds this information back to the controller, and the controller controls the pushing member 131 to push the product 170 to move along the blocking member 132, so as to reverse the product 170.

As another alternative embodiment, flow restriction mechanism 140 includes a restrictor plate (not shown) and a time relay (not shown) electrically connected to the restrictor plate for controlling movement of the restrictor plate and preventing movement of product 170. Since the distance between

products

170 and 170 in the flow line is generally constant, the time difference between the arrival of two adjacent products 170 at the restriction 140 is constant. The time interval is first set to this time difference in the time relay. The time relay controls the extension of the restrictor plate onto the first conveyor belt 110 for intercepting the product 170 at intervals of a time difference. The controller is electrically connected with the time relay and feeds back the information of the completion of the reversing of the previous product 170 to the time relay. The time relay receives this information and then controls the restrictor plate to retract to release the next product 170. After this time difference, the time relay again controls the restrictor plate to extend onto the first conveyor 110 to intercept the products 170, thus forming a loop that ensures that only one product 170 is diverted at a time.

As another alternative embodiment, the current limiting mechanism 140 includes a time relay (not shown) and a first switch (not shown) for controlling the movement of the first conveyor 110, the first switch being electrically connected to the time relay. Similarly, a time interval is set in the time relay. The time relay controls the first switch to close every time difference, and the first switch closes and stops moving on the first conveyor 110. When the previous product 170 is reversed, the time relay controls the first switch to be closed. The controller is electrically connected with the time relay and feeds back the information of the completion of the reversing of the previous product 170 to the time relay. The time relay receives this information and then controls the first switch to open, so that the first conveyor 110 runs, and the subsequent product 170 enters the reversing mechanism 130. This provides a cycle that also ensures that only one product 170 is diverted at a time.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1, the in-line conveyor 100 further includes a mounting frame 150, the mounting frame 150 is fixed above the first conveyor belt 110 and the second conveyor belt 120, and the pushing member 131 and the flow restriction mechanism 140 are disposed on the mounting frame 150.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the pipeline transporting device 100 further includes a rotating mechanism 160, the rotating mechanism 160 includes a power source (not shown), a hollow block 162, an eccentric 161, and a rotating shaft 163 passing through an edge of the eccentric 161, the eccentric 161 is clamped in the hollow block 162, the rotating shaft 163 is in transmission connection with the power source, and the hollow block 162 is connected to the second conveying belt 120 for driving the second conveying belt 120 to rotate. Specifically, the power source drives the rotating shaft 163 to rotate, the rotating shaft 163 drives the eccentric wheel 161 to rotate, and the eccentric wheel 161 is clamped in the hollow block 162, so that the hollow block 162 is driven to rotate when the eccentric wheel 161 rotates, and the hollow block 162 further drives the second conveying belt 120 to rotate, thereby realizing the adjustment of the angle of the second conveying belt 120 relative to the first conveying belt 110. Like this, the producer can adjust the angle of second conveyer belt 120 according to the needs of production, makes second conveyer belt 120 can with other conveyer belt overlap joints, and then change the route of assembly line to make the assembly line can adapt to different products, avoid the assembly line different to different product designs, reduce the occupation to the production place, improve the space usage to the production place. The power source may be a motor or the like. It is understood that the rotating mechanism 160 may also be disposed on the first conveyor belt 110, and the position of the rotating mechanism 160 is not particularly limited herein.

The technical features of the embodiments described above may be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are not described, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.
