[0030] The processing device 100 for facilitating material distribution according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the processing device 100 for facilitating material distribution according to an embodiment of the present invention includes at least two processing units 10 connected in series, and each processing unit 10 includes: a machine body 11, an operating rail 12, a common conveying rail 13, a connecting rail 14 and an operating part.

[0032] Specifically, the working rail 12 is provided on the machine body 11, the common conveying rail 13 is provided on the machine body 11 and is spaced apart from the working rail 12, the feed port of the common conveying rail 13 and the feed port of the working rail 12 are located on the same side, and the discharge port of the common conveying rail 13 and the discharge port of the working rail 12 are located on the same side, and the connecting rail 14 is movably provided on the machine body 11, and the connecting rail 14 is located on one side or the other side of the common conveying rail 13 and the working rail 12. When the connecting rail 14 is located on one side of the common conveying rail 13 and the working rail 12, the material is transported to the feed port of the common conveying rail 13 or the working rail 12 through the discharge port of the connecting rail 14. When the connecting rail 14 is located on the other side of the common conveying rail 13 and the working rail 12, the material is transported from the discharge port of the common conveying rail 13 or the working rail 12 to the feed port of the connecting rail 14. The working part is provided on the machine body 11 and is arranged opposite to the working rail 12 for processing the material located on the working rail 12.

[0033] In other words, the processing device 100 for facilitating material distribution according to an embodiment of the present invention is mainly composed of at least two processing units 10 connected in series, each processing unit 10 includes a machine body 11, an operating rail 12, a common conveying rail 13, a connecting rail 14 and an operating part. The operating rail 12, the common conveying rail 13 and the connecting rail 14 can be installed on the machine body 11. The common conveying rail 13 and the operating rail 12 can be distributed side by side. The feed port of the common conveying rail 13 and the feed port of the operating rail 12 can be located on the same side. The discharge port of the common conveying rail 13 and the discharge port of the operating rail 12 can be located on the same side. When the connecting rail 14 is located on one side of the common conveying rail 13 and the operating rail 12, the incoming material first flows into the connecting rail 14, and then it is determined whether the material is transported to the common conveying rail 13 or the operating rail 12. After the determination is completed, the connecting rail 14 can move to the corresponding position to transport the material to the corresponding position. It should be noted that the determination process can be determined manually or by a detection unit. The detection unit can be a CCM, a sensor, etc. An operating portion may also be installed on the machine body 11 , and the operating portion corresponds to the operating rail 12 , and operations such as processing and testing of materials can be performed through the operating portion.

[0034] Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the processing device 100 for facilitating material distribution is combined with at least two processing units 10 connected in series. Each processing unit 10 may be provided with a common conveying rail 13 and an operating rail 12 arranged in parallel. The two adjacent processing units 10 can improve the flexibility of material distribution by connecting the rails in parallel, thereby preventing the occurrence of situations such as one material being processed while the subsequent material has to wait for too long.

[0035] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the working rail 12 and the common conveying rail 13 are distributed in parallel, which is not only convenient for installation, but also conducive to the movement of the connecting rail 14 between the working rail 12 and the common conveying rail 13, thereby improving the efficiency of materials flowing from the connecting rail 14 into the working rail 12 or the common conveying rail 13, or the efficiency of materials flowing from the working rail 12 or the common conveying rail 13 into the connecting rail 14.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some specific embodiments of the present invention, the number of connecting rails 14 is two, one connecting rail 14 is located on one side of the common conveying rail 13 and the working rail 12, and the other connecting rail 14 is located on the other side of the common conveying rail 13 and the working rail 12. That is to say, each processing unit 10 can be provided with two connecting rails 14, and the two connecting rails 14 can be respectively arranged on both sides of the common conveying rail 13 and the working rail 12, which can further improve production efficiency and flexibility.

[0037] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the processing unit 10 also includes a driving part, which is provided on the machine body 11 and connected to the docking rail 14. The driving part can drive the docking rail 14 to move between the working rail 12 or the common conveying rail 13 so that the docking rail 14 is connected to the working rail 12 or the common conveying rail 13. By adopting the driving part, the degree of automation can be further improved.

[0038] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the processing unit 10 also includes a slide rail 15, which is provided on the machine body 11 and is movably connected to the docking rail 14. The docking rail 14 can move along the slide rail 15 between the working rail 12 and the common conveying rail 13, thereby facilitating the movement of the docking rail 14 between the common conveying rail 13 and the working rail 12 and improving the smoothness of movement.

[0039] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the operating rail 12, the common conveying rail 13 and the connecting rail 14 are parallel, which can not only improve the compactness of the equipment structure and reduce the occupied space, but also improve the flow efficiency of materials between the connecting rail 14 and the operating rail 12 or the common conveying rail 13.

[0040] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a connecting rail 14 is provided between two adjacent processing units 10 .

[0041] Optionally, the two working rails 12 of two adjacent processing units 10 are coaxial, and the two common conveying rails 13 are coaxial, so as to improve the material conveying efficiency.

[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the number of common conveying rails 13 and working rails 12 corresponding to each processing unit 10 is one or more, that is, the number of common conveying rails 13 can be one or more, and the number of working rails 12 can also be one or more. The specific number can be set according to demand.

[0043] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the processing unit 10 further includes a controller, which is connected to a docking rail 14. When a material is loaded on the working rail 12 corresponding to a processing unit 10, the controller drives a docking rail 14 to transport the subsequent material to the common conveying rail 13 corresponding to the processing unit 10, and then transports the subsequent material to the working rail 12 corresponding to another processing unit 10 adjacent to the processing unit 10 through another docking rail 14. In other words, when it is detected that a material is loaded on the working rail 12 corresponding to a processing unit 10, the controller can control and drive a docking rail 14 to transport a subsequent material to be processed to the common conveying rail 13 corresponding to the processing unit 10, and then transport the subsequent material to the working rail 12 or common conveying rail 13 corresponding to the adjacent processing unit 10 through another docking rail 14 between the processing unit 10 and the adjacent processing unit 10. It should be noted that when there are three processing units 10, the three processing units 10 are connected in sequence, and the working rail 12 corresponding to the first processing unit 10 is loaded with the material being processed. The next material to be processed can be transported to the working rail 12 or the common conveying rail 13 corresponding to the second processing unit 10 via the connecting rail 14. When the material is transported to the common conveying rail 13 corresponding to the second processing unit 10, the connecting rail 14 can continue to transport the material on the common conveying rail 13 corresponding to the second processing unit 10 to the working rail 12 corresponding to the third processing unit 10. In other words, the connecting rail 14 can choose to transport the material to the working rail 12 corresponding to the next processing unit 10 or the common conveying rail 13 according to different needs and situations, based on whether the working rail 12 corresponding to the previous processing unit 10 is loaded with the material being processed. For example, it can be set according to whether the working parts corresponding to multiple processing units 10 are the same or different, or alternately interspersed.

[0044] The processing device 100 for facilitating material distribution according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, when there is material on the working track 12 corresponding to the processing unit 10 on the left, the incoming material is produced, and the next material can be produced along the working track 12. Figure 3 In the direction of the arrow, it passes through the connecting rail 14 corresponding to the processing unit 10 on the left, the common conveying rail 13, and the connecting rail 14, and then flows into the connecting rail 14 corresponding to the processing unit 10 on the right, and is transferred by the connecting rail 14 to the working rail 12 corresponding to the processing unit 10 on the right for production.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, when the material operation on the working rail 12 corresponding to the left processing unit 10 is completed, it can flow into the connecting rail 14 corresponding to the right processing unit 10 through the connecting rail 14 corresponding to the left processing unit 10 in the direction of the arrow, and then be transferred from the connecting rail 14 corresponding to the right processing unit 10 to the common conveying rail 13 corresponding to the right processing unit 10, and then flow to the downstream machine through the connecting rail 14 corresponding to the right processing unit 10.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the material can be sent to the common conveying track 12 or working track 13 corresponding to the left processing unit 10 by the front equipment along the direction of the hollow arrow. After the material flows into the connecting track 14 corresponding to the left processing unit 10, it is distributed by the connecting track 14 and sent to the common conveying track 12 or working track 13 corresponding to the right processing unit 10. Finally, the material is distributed and transported backward by the connecting track 14 corresponding to the right processing unit 10. The connecting track 14 can be moved along the direction of the hollow arrow. Figure 6 The solid arrow in the middle indicates the activity.

[0051] In summary, the processing device 100 for facilitating material distribution according to an embodiment of the present invention is combined with at least two processing units 10 connected in series. Each processing unit 10 may be provided with a common conveying rail 13 and an operating rail 12 arranged in parallel. The connecting rail 14 between the two adjacent processing units 10 can be used to selectively convey the material to the common conveying rail 13 or the operating rail 12, thereby preventing the problem of the latter material waiting for the previous material for too long, thereby effectively improving work efficiency.
