[0038] Conveyors are important equipment for conveying and loading and unloading goods, and can be widely used in industrial fields such as mining, metallurgy, building materials, chemicals, electricity, food processing, and logistics. However, the applicant has found that existing conveyors are often small in width, making it difficult for existing conveyors to stably receive targets with a high moving rate. When the conveying system needs to transport the target at a higher conveying rate, the existing conveyor often needs to use a guiding device to stably receive the target from the sorting machine. For example, the target sorted out from the sorting machine often needs to be guided by a non-powered chute with a certain slope before it can enter the conveyor. Therefore, the conveying efficiency and working stability of existing conveyors are often poor.

[0039] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application is provided. In order to better understand the present application, the conveyor and conveying system of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0040] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the use status of the conveyor in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the connection between the conveyor and the sorting machine in some embodiments of the present application, in which the X direction is the first direction, the Y direction is the second direction, the Z direction is the third direction, the C direction is the confluence direction, and the G direction is the guide direction.

[0041] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the conveyor 1 provided in some embodiments of the present application includes a DC conveying section 11 and a converging conveying section 12, the DC conveying section 11 extends along a first direction X, the DC conveying section 11 includes a DC conveying portion 111 and a DC frame 112, the number of the DC frame 112 is multiple, the DC frame 112 extends along the first direction X and is spaced apart in the second direction Y, the DC conveying portion 111 is arranged between two adjacent DC frames 112, and the DC conveying portion 111 is used to convey the target object 3 along the first direction X; the converging conveying section 12 includes a converging conveying portion 121 and a converging frame 122, and the converging frame 122 is arranged between the DC The conveying section 11 is on one side of the second direction Y, and the converging conveying portion 121 is connected between the converging frame 122 and the DC frame 112 on the side of the DC conveying section 11 close to the converging conveying section 12. The converging conveying portion 121 is used to convey the target object 3 along the converging direction C toward the DC conveying section 11, wherein an entrance 1a for docking with the sorting machine 2 is formed between the converging frame 122 at one end of the conveyor 1 in the first direction X and the DC frame 112 on the side of the DC conveying section 11 away from the converging conveying section 12, the first direction X, the second direction Y and the converging direction C intersect each other, and there is a preset angle between the converging direction C and the first direction X.

[0042] A conveyor 1 provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a DC conveying section 11 and a converging conveying section 12. The DC conveying section 11 includes a DC conveying part 111 and a DC frame 112. The DC frame 112 can be used to fix the DC conveying part 111. The DC frame 112 is extended and formed along a first direction X and is spaced apart in a second direction Y. The DC conveying part 111 is arranged between two adjacent DC frames 112. The DC conveying part 111 can convey a target object 3 along the first direction X and make the target object 3 have a certain speed, so that the conveyor 1 has a good conveying efficiency in the first direction X. The converging conveying section 12 includes a converging conveying part 121 and a converging frame 122. The converging conveying part 121 can convey the target object 3 along the converging direction C toward the DC conveying section 11 and make the target object 3 have a certain speed, so that the target object 3 entering the converging conveying section 12 or the DC conveying section 11 can finally be conveyed to other downstream equipment along the first direction X on the DC conveying section 11. The converging frame 122 is arranged on one side of the DC conveying section 11 in the second direction Y, and the converging conveying portion 121 is connected between the converging frame 122 and the DC frame 112 on the side of the DC conveying section 11 close to the converging conveying section 12, so that the conveyor 1 can have a larger entrance 1a in the second direction Y to be able to directly receive the target object 3 transmitted from the sorting machine 2, so that the conveyor 1 has a higher fault tolerance rate for receiving the target object 3, improves the working stability of the conveyor 1, and enables the conveyor 1 to receive the target object 3 with a higher speed conveyed by the sorting machine 2, which can improve the conveying efficiency of the conveying system 10.

[0043] In some embodiments, the DC transport section 111 includes at least one of a roller 1c or a conveyor belt, and the roller 1c and the conveyor belt can transport the target object 3 located on the DC transport section 111 along the first direction X; and / or, the convergence transport section 121 includes at least one of a roller 1c or a conveyor belt, and the roller 1c and the conveyor belt can transport the target object 3 located on the convergence transport section 121 along the convergence direction C.

[0044] In some embodiments, when the conveying direction of the roller 1c and the conveyor belt is the same as the first direction X, the roller 1c and the conveyor belt can be distributed in any combination on the DC conveying portion 111 so that the target object 3 is conveyed along the first direction X. In other embodiments, when the conveying direction of the roller 1c and the conveyor belt is the same as the converging direction C, the roller 1c and the conveyor belt can be distributed in any combination on the converging conveying portion 121 so that the target object 3 is conveyed along the converging direction C. For the sake of simplicity, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the following embodiments are described by taking the DC conveying part 111 and the converging conveying part 121 using the roller 1c for conveying as an example.

[0045] In some embodiments, the DC transport section 111 includes a plurality of rollers 1c extending along the second direction Y. The plurality of rollers 1c of the DC transport section 111 are distributed in parallel in the first direction X and connected between two adjacent DC frames 112 in the second direction Y. The rollers 1c can transport the target objects 3 sorted out from the sorting machine 2 along the first direction X toward a direction away from the entrance 1a.

[0046] In some embodiments, the converging conveying section 121 includes multiple rollers 1c, and the multiple rollers 1c of the converging conveying section 121 are distributed in parallel in the converging direction C and connected between the converging frame 122 and the DC frame 112 of the DC conveying section 11 close to the converging conveying section 12. The rollers 1c can convey the target objects 3 sorted out from the sorting machine 2 along the converging direction C toward the DC conveying section 11, so that the target objects 3 entering the converging conveying section 12 or the DC conveying section 11 can eventually be conveyed to other downstream equipment along the first direction X on the DC conveying section 11.

[0047] In some embodiments, the converging direction C is perpendicular to the axial direction of the plurality of rollers 1 c of the converging and conveying portion 121 .

[0048] In some embodiments, the rollers 1 c of the DC conveying section 111 and the converging conveying section 121 may include powered rollers, which can provide driving force to the target object 3 so that the target object 3 can be conveyed on the conveyor 1 at a relatively high speed.

[0049] Figure 3 It is a schematic exploded view of the DC conveying section 11 of the conveyor 1 according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the DC transport section 11 further includes a DC baffle 113, which is connected to a DC frame 112 located on the side of the DC transport section 11 away from the converging transport section 12 in the second direction Y, and at least part of the DC baffle 113 is protruded from the DC frame 112 in the third direction Z, wherein the first direction X, the second direction Y, the third direction Z and the converging direction C intersect in pairs. By connecting the DC frame 112 on the side away from the converging transport section 12 with the DC baffle 113 protruding from the DC frame 112 in the third direction Z, the target object 3 sorted out from the sorting machine 2 or the target object 3 transported from the converging transport section 12 can be stopped by the DC baffle 113, so that the target object 3 is not easy to slide out of the DC transport section 11.

[0051] The present application does not limit the height of the DC baffle 113 in the third direction Z. The height of the DC baffle 113 in the third direction Z can be set according to the extension dimension of the target object 3 in the third direction Z, so that the DC baffle 113 has a better stopping effect on the target object 3.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the DC baffle 113 includes a plate body and a reinforcing plate 113c, which are stacked in the second direction Y, and the reinforcing plate 113c is located on a side of the plate body away from the DC transmission unit 111. By stacking the plate body and the reinforcing plate 113c in the second direction Y, the DC baffle 113 has a good structural strength in the second direction Y, so that when the target 3 collides with the DC baffle 113 at a high speed, the DC baffle 113 is not easily affected by the impact and damaged.

[0053] In some embodiments, the plate body may include a plastic plate 113a and a metal plate 113b stacked in the second direction Y, further improving the structural strength of the DC baffle 113. In some embodiments, the plastic plate 113a is located on the side of the metal plate 113b facing the converging conveying section 12, so that the target 3 can contact the plastic plate 113a of the DC baffle 113, so that the DC baffle 113 is not easy to damage the target 3.

[0054] In some embodiments, the reinforcing plates 113c may be spaced apart in the first direction X, so that the reinforcing plates 113c are not likely to have an excessively large volume, and the DC baffle 113 does not have a large weight. In some embodiments, the reinforcing plates 113c may be connected to the DC frame 112, and the plate body may be directly connected to the reinforcing plates 113c. In some embodiments, the material of the reinforcing plates 113c may be the same as that of the metal plate 113b, so as to facilitate the design and manufacture of the DC baffle 113.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the DC frame 112 includes an overlapping section 11a and an extension section 11b, the overlapping section 11a is overlapped with the positive projection of the converging frame 122 in the second direction Y, and the extension section 11b is connected to the end of the overlapping section 11a away from the inlet 1a, wherein at least part of the DC baffle 113 is arranged on the overlapping section 11a, and / or, at least part of the DC baffle 113 is arranged on the extension section 11b. The DC baffle 113 arranged on the overlapping section 11a can be mainly used to stop the target object 3 directly sorted out from the sorting machine 2 or the target object 3 transported from the converging conveying section 12, and the DC baffle 113 arranged on the extension section 11b can be mainly used to stop the target object 3 transported from the converging conveying section 12.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in some embodiments, the DC conveying section 11 also includes a guide conveying portion 114, the guide conveying portion 114 is connected between two adjacent DC frames 112, at least part of the guide conveying portion 114 is connected between two adjacent overlapping sections 11a, and / or, at least part of the guide conveying portion 114 is connected between two adjacent extension sections 11b, the guide conveying portion 114 is provided with a DC conveying portion 111 on the side close to the entrance 1a in the first direction X, at least part of the DC baffle 113 is provided on the side of the guide conveying portion 114 away from the converging conveying section 12, and the guide conveying portion 114 is used to convey the target object 3 along the guide direction G toward the DC baffle 113, wherein the guide direction G is the same as the converging direction C; or, the first direction X, the second direction Y, the third direction Z, the converging direction C and the guide direction G intersect each other.

[0057] When the target object 3 enters the conveyor 1 at a high speed, the target object 3 is easily affected by inertia and rotates at the converging conveying section 12 and the DC conveying section 11, so that the target object 3 is likely to present a poor posture, which is not conducive to the subsequent conveying and processing of the target object 3. Therefore, by providing a guide conveying portion 114 between adjacent overlapping sections 11a and / or adjacent extension sections 11b, the target object 3 conveyed from the DC conveying portion 111 or the target object 3 conveyed from the converging conveying section 12 can be conveyed to the DC baffle 113 by the guide conveying portion 114, so that the target object 3 can come into contact with the DC baffle 113, so that the target object 3 can change its posture under the influence of the outer surface shape of the DC baffle 113, that is, the target object 3 can have a more ideal posture after contacting the DC baffle 113, so as to facilitate the subsequent conveying and processing of the target object 3.

[0058] In some embodiments, by setting at least a portion of the guide conveying portion 114 to be connected between two adjacent overlapping sections 11a, the target object 3 is not likely to have a large rotation angle before entering the guide conveying portion 114, so that the target object 3 can be transported to the guide conveying portion 114 earlier for posture adjustment after entering the conveyor 1.

[0059] In some embodiments, the guide conveying portion 114 includes at least one of a roller 1c or a conveyor belt, and the roller 1c and the conveyor belt can convey the target object 3 located on the guide conveying portion 114 along the guide direction G. In some embodiments, when the conveying directions of the roller 1c and the conveyor belt are the same as the guide direction G, the roller 1c and the conveyor belt can be distributed in any combination on the guide conveying portion 114 so that the target object 3 is conveyed along the guide direction G. For the sake of simplicity, the following embodiments are all described by taking the guide conveying portion 114 using the roller 1c for conveying as an example.

[0060] In some embodiments, the guide conveying part 114 includes a plurality of rollers 1c, which are arranged in parallel in the guide direction G and connected between adjacent DC frames 112, and the rollers 1c can convey the target objects 3 sorted out from the sorting machine 2 and the target objects 3 transmitted from the converging transmission end along the guide direction G toward the DC baffle 113. In some embodiments, the guide direction G is perpendicular to the axial direction of the plurality of rollers 1c of the guide conveying part 114.

[0061] In some embodiments, the roller 1 c of the guide conveying portion 114 may include a powered roller, which can provide a driving force to the target object 3 so that the target object 3 can be conveyed on the conveyor 1 at a relatively high speed.

[0062] In some embodiments, the angle between the guide direction G and the first direction X can be 10° to 20°, so that the target 3 is not easy to have a high speed in the second direction Y, and the target 3 can have a high speed in the first direction X, so that the conveyor 1 has better conveying efficiency and working stability. In some embodiments, the angle between the guide direction G and the first direction X can be 15°.

[0063] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the adjacent DC frame 112 is formed with an outlet 1b at one end away from the inlet 1a, and the distance between the converging frame 122 and the DC frame 112 gradually decreases in the direction from the inlet 1a to the outlet 1b. By setting the distance between the converging frame 122 and the DC frame 112 to gradually decrease in the direction from the inlet 1a to the outlet 1b, the converging conveying section 12 can have a more compact structure, so that the converging conveying section 12 is not prone to having an excessively large useless size.

[0064] In some embodiments, the confluence frame 122 may be extended and formed along the confluence direction C to further improve the structural compactness of the confluence conveying section 12 .

[0065] In some embodiments, a DC conveying portion 111 is provided on one side of the guide conveying portion 114 close to the outlet 1b in the first direction X, so that the target object 3 with a better posture conveyed from the guide conveying portion 114 can be more efficiently conveyed to other downstream equipment through the DC conveying portion 111.

[0066] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the converging conveying section 12 further includes a converging baffle 123, which is connected to a converging frame 122 located on the side of the converging conveying section 12 away from the DC conveying section 11 in the second direction Y, and at least part of the converging baffle 123 is protruding from the converging frame 122 in the third direction Z, wherein the first direction X, the second direction Y, the third direction Z and the converging direction C intersect each other. By providing the converging baffle 123 protruding from the converging frame 122 in the third direction Z, the target object 3 sorted out from the sorting machine 2 can be stopped by the converging baffle 123, so that the target object 3 is not easy to slide out of the converging conveying section 12.

[0067] In some embodiments, when the distance between the convergence frame 122 and the DC frame 112 gradually decreases in the direction from the inlet 1a to the outlet 1b, that is, when the distance between the convergence baffle 123 and the DC frame 112 gradually decreases in the direction from the inlet 1a to the outlet 1b, the convergence baffle 123 can also provide a guiding effect to the target object 3 on the convergence conveying section 12, and the target object 3 in contact with the convergence baffle 123 can be guided to the DC conveying section 11, further improving the conveying efficiency of the conveyor 1.

[0068] In some embodiments, the confluence baffle 123 may have the same structure as the DC baffle 113. In other embodiments, since the confluence baffle 123 is not easily impacted by the target 3 to a large extent, the confluence baffle 123 may not need to have a high structural strength, and thus the structural strength of the confluence baffle 123 may be lower than that of the DC baffle 113, so that the conveyor 1 has a lower production cost.

[0069] In some embodiments, the preset angle may be 30° to 70°, that is, the angle between the converging direction C and the first direction X may be 30° to 70°, so that the conveyor 1 can have a larger entrance 1a to facilitate receiving the target object 3 from the sorting machine 2, so that the conveyor 1 has a higher error tolerance rate for receiving the target object 3. In some embodiments, the preset angle may be 60°, that is, the angle between the converging direction C and the first direction X may be 60°.
