[0011] Compared with the related art, the colored ball conveyor provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] The present invention provides a colored ball conveyor. Through the setting of a propulsion conveying mechanism, first, the propulsion conveying mechanism is a traditional material conveying mechanism. The material ball enters from a first barrel and falls to the bottom surface by inertia. It is limited by the first ball head plunger and is stuck in the material bin of the first barrel.

Finally, the material ball is transferred out of the inclined conveying mechanism and returns to the push conveying mechanism along the track, thus realizing fully automatic material ball conveying, which is simple, convenient and easy to operate.

[0026] In this embodiment, through the setting of the propulsion conveying mechanism 2, first of all, the propulsion conveying mechanism 2 is a traditional material conveying mechanism. The material ball enters from the first barrel and falls to the bottom by inertia. It is limited by the first ball head plunger and the material ball is stuck in the material bin of the first barrel. According to the rotation cycle of the turntable of the turntable conveying mechanism 3, the feeding cylinder is controlled to start and the material ball is pushed out of the material bin of the first barrel. The turntable conveying mechanism 3 can be accurately controlled.

While the turntable rotates, it drives the material ball from the bottom to the top. After the material ball reaches the top, it is pulled out of the side of the turntable conveying mechanism 3 by gravity and enters the lifting conveying mechanism 4.

[0027] Example 2:

[0028] See also Figure 1-4As shown, based on the first embodiment, the present invention provides a technical solution: a support seat 6 is installed around the bottom of the body 1 by screws, and an anti-slip pad is installed at the bottom of the support seat 6. The left side of the rear side of the top of the body 1 is connected to the bottom of the cylinder 1 by screws, and the top of the body 1 is connected to the bottom of the driving motor by screws. The lifting and conveying mechanism 4 includes a track, a cylinder 1, a third ball head plunger, a sensor and a second barrel. The cylinder 1 is located at the bottom of the second barrel, and the track is located on one side of the second barrel, and the sensor is located on one side of the inner cavity of the track, and the third ball head The plug is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the second barrel.

[0029] In this embodiment: through the setting of the lifting and conveying mechanism 4, the material ball slides down from the track, the sensor senses the material ball, and controls the cylinder to push the material ball onto the second barrel. When the cylinder retracts, the third ball head plunger blocks the material ball to prevent it from falling. When the material balls are stacked up in the second barrel, the topmost ball will enter the second barrel with the next material ball and be pushed out of the second barrel into the inclined conveying mechanism 5. Through the setting of the inclined conveying mechanism 5, the material ball rolls freely down from the track to the inclined conveying mechanism 5 and falls on the inclined surface. The stepping motor drives the mounting shaft, and the mounting shaft drives the eccentric wheel through the action of the key. The rotation of the eccentric wheel causes the driven shaft to drive the inclined plate to reciprocate up and down, thereby transferring the logistics ball from one inclined surface to another plane, realizing horizontal transmission. Finally, the material ball is transmitted out of the inclined conveying mechanism 5 and returns to the pushing conveying mechanism 2 along the track, realizing fully automatic material ball transportation, which is simple, convenient and easy to operate.

[0030] The working principle of the colored ball conveyor provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0031] Implementation steps for the first innovation point:

[0032] Step 1: By setting up the push conveying mechanism 2, the push conveying mechanism 2 is a traditional material conveying mechanism. The material ball enters from the first barrel and falls to the bottom surface by inertia. It is limited by the first ball head plunger and is stuck in the silo of the first barrel. According to the rotation cycle of the turntable of the turntable conveying mechanism 3, the feeding cylinder is controlled to start;

[0033] Step 2: Push the material balls out of the hopper of the first barrel and accurately into the turntable conveying mechanism 3. The action time and speed of the feeding cylinder can be designed by writing a PLC program according to the rotation cycle of the power shaft;

[0034] Step 3: Through the setting of the turntable conveying mechanism 3, the driving motor drives the synchronous wheel through the synchronous belt, and the synchronous wheel drives the active shaft of the periodic fork mechanism, so that the fork mechanism rotates periodically. While the turntable rotates, the material balls are transported from the bottom to the top. After the material balls reach the top, they are pulled by gravity to slide freely out of the side of the turntable conveying mechanism 3 and enter the lifting conveying mechanism 4.

[0035] Implementation steps for the second innovation point:

[0036] Step 1: By setting up the lifting conveying mechanism 4, the material ball slides down from the track, the sensor senses the material ball, controls the cylinder 1 to push the material ball into the second barrel, and when the cylinder 1 retracts, the third ball head plunger blocks the material ball to prevent it from falling. When the material balls fill the second barrel, the top ball will enter the second barrel with the next material ball and be pushed out of the second barrel into the inclined conveying mechanism 5;

[0037] Step 2: Through the setting of the inclined conveying mechanism 5, the material ball rolls freely from the track to the inclined conveying mechanism 5 and falls on the inclined surface. The stepper motor drives the installation shaft, and the installation shaft drives the eccentric wheel through the action of the key. The rotation of the eccentric wheel causes the driven shaft to drive the inclined plate to move up and down, thereby transferring the logistics ball from one inclined surface to another plane, realizing horizontal transmission. Finally, the material ball is transmitted out of the inclined conveying mechanism 5 and returns to the push conveying mechanism 2 along the track, realizing fully automatic material ball transportation, which is simple, convenient and easy to operate.
