[0042] refer to Figure 4 The third fixing member 251 is block-shaped and can be called a moving block, and the first fixing member 231 and the second fixing member 241 are plate-shaped or a combination of plate-shaped structures.

[0043] refer to Figures 1 to 3 The carrier body 12 is a carrier plate 120, and the carrier plate 120 has a carrying area 1201 for carrying materials and a fixed area located at the rear end of the carrier plate 120. The carrying area 1201 is located at the front side of the fixed area, and the fixed area at the rear end of the carrier plate 120 is fixed on the third fixing member 251. When the third fixing member 251 moves from the rear end of the second belt 221 to the front end of the second belt 221 driven by the conveying mechanism 20, the fixed area of ​​the carrier plate 120 can move from the rear end of the linear guide rail 11 to the front end of the linear guide rail 11, and the carrying area 1201 protrudes from the frame 10, the first belt conveyor 21, and the second belt conveyor 22 above the frame 10, the first belt conveyor 21, and the second belt conveyor 22. When the third fixing member 251 moves from the rear end of the second belt 221 to the front end of the second belt 221 driven by the conveying mechanism 20, the fixing area of ​​the carrier plate 120 can be moved from the rear end of the linear guide rail 11 to the front end of the linear guide rail 11, and the bearing area 1201 is suspended and protrudes out of the frame 10, the first belt conveyor part 21, and the second belt conveyor part 22.

[0044] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A plurality of in-place sensors 122 are disposed on the carrier plate 120 for detecting whether the material carried on the carrier body 12 is in place.

[0045] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The carrier plate 120 is provided with a plurality of guide alignment parts 121 for guiding and positioning the material on the carrier plate 120. The guide alignment parts 121 are alignment protrusions convexly provided on the carrier plate 120, and the top of the alignment protrusions is gradually reduced to form an alignment head.

[0046] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A front end limiting flange 123 and a rear end limiting flange 124 are convexly provided on the front end of the carrier plate 120, and a side limiting flange 14 is convexly provided on the frame 10 and can protrude to the left or right side of the carrier plate 120, and a carrying area 1201 for carrying materials is formed between the front end limiting flange 123, the rear end limiting flange 124 and the side limiting flange 14.

[0047] The second belt conveyor 22 is installed on a mounting frame 223 , and the mounting frame is fixed together with the first fixing member 231 or is an integral part.

[0048] In the initial installation position, the carrier body 12 is in a retracted state relative to the frame. At this time, if the carrier body 12 is to be controlled to extend forward, the driving mechanism 13 drives the first belt conveyor 21 to move, so that the first belt 211 drives the first fixing member 231 to move from the rear end to the front end of the first belt conveyor 21, and the first fixing member 231 drives the mounting frame 223 of the second belt conveyor 22 to move forward, so that the second belt conveyor 22 as a whole moves forward relative to the first belt conveyor 21 or the frame 10. At this time, since the second fixing member 241 fixed to the frame 10 is immovably installed on the second belt 221 in the X-axis direction, the positioning area is relatively The position of the frame 10 is fixed (or cannot be moved in the first direction), and the overall movement of the second belt 221 will inevitably cause the positioning area to rotate in the X-axis direction relative to the mounting frame 223. The positioning area moves from the front end of the second belt conveyor 22 to the rear end of the second belt conveyor 22, thereby pulling the second belt 221 to rotate, and the third fixing member 251 is pulled by the second belt 221, moving from the rear end of the second belt conveyor 22 to the front end of the second belt conveyor 22, and the carrier body 12 installed on the third fixing member 251 moves forward along the X-axis direction to extend forward relative to the second belt conveyor 22, and its forward extension position can be extended to the extension limit.

[0049] When the carrier body 12 is retracted, the carrier body 12 is in an extended state relative to the frame. At this time, if the carrier body 12 is to be controlled to retract, the driving mechanism 13 drives the first belt conveyor 21 to move, so that the first belt 211 drives the first fixing member 231 to move from the front end to the rear end of the first belt conveyor 21, and the first fixing member 231 drives the mounting frame 223 of the second belt conveyor 22 to move backward, so that the second belt conveyor 22 as a whole retracts backward relative to the first belt conveyor 21 or the frame 10, and the second belt 211 drives the first fixing member 231 to move from the front end to the rear end of the first belt conveyor 21. The overall movement of 21 will inevitably cause the positioning area to rotate in the X-axis direction relative to the mounting frame 223. The positioning area moves from the rear end of the second belt conveyor 22 to the front end of the second belt conveyor 22, thereby pulling the second belt 221 to rotate. The third fixing member 251 is pulled by the second belt 221 and moves from the front end of the second belt conveyor 22 to the rear end of the second belt conveyor 22. The carrier body 12 installed on the third fixing member 251 then retracts backward along the X-axis direction to retract relative to the second belt conveyor 22 until it reaches the initial position.

[0050] In summary, when the first belt conveyor 21 drives the second belt conveyor 22 to extend forward as a whole, the second belt conveyor 22 can be extended forward relative to the first belt conveyor 21 while the carrier body 12 is synchronously extended forward relative to the second belt conveyor 22. When the first belt conveyor 21 drives the second belt conveyor 22 to retract backward as a whole, the second belt conveyor 22 can be retracted backward relative to the first belt conveyor 21 while the carrier body 12 is synchronously retracted backward relative to the second belt conveyor 22, thereby realizing double-stroke acceleration control.

[0051] The above disclosure is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, which certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention are still within the scope covered by the present invention.
