DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the present invention. Based on the embodiments in this application, other similar embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work should all fall within the scope of protection of this application. In addition, the directional words mentioned in the following embodiments, such as "up", "down", "left", "right", etc., are only reference to the directions of the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional words used are used to illustrate rather than limit the invention.

[0033] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0034] Embodiment: A tooling plate 2 accumulation type material channel, see attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 8, including two guide chains 3 arranged in a closed loop, sprockets 5 meshing with the guide chains 3, a transmission chain 4 fixedly connected to the side of the two guide chains 3 close to each other, a tooling plate 2 capable of being transmitted on the transmission chain 4, and a hooking assembly 9 for hooking the tooling plate 2 on the transmission chain 4. Each guide chain 3 corresponds to two sprockets 5, and the two sprockets 5 are arranged along the transmission direction of the guide plate. In this embodiment, the transmission direction of the tooling plate 2 is horizontal, so the two sprockets 5 are arranged in the horizontal direction, and the guide chain 3 is arranged in a closed loop around the two sprockets 5. The guide chain 3 is driven to move by the rotation of the two sprockets 5 to realize the transmission of the tooling plate 2; specifically, the two guide chains 3 are arranged side by side. The transmission chain 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the two guide chains 3 close to each other, and the transmission chain 4 forms a closed loop along the two guide chains 3. The hook assembly 9 can be hooked onto the transmission chain 4 and its position on the transmission chain 4 is adjustable. Multiple hook assemblies 9 are arranged on each transmission chain 4 and the hook assemblies 9 on the two transmission chains 4 correspond to each other. The tooling plate 2 is detachably connected to the two corresponding hook assemblies 9 .

[0035] Since the position of the hook assembly 9 on the transmission chain 4 is adjustable, when tooling plates 2 of different widths are used, the position of the hook assembly 9 can be adjusted to shorten the distance between two adjacent tooling plates 2, thereby making more reasonable use of the overall length of the material channel.

[0036] Specifically, the hook assembly 9 includes a guide bar 91, which can be inserted between the two chain plates on the outside of the transmission chain 4; the outside of the transmission chain 4 refers to the outer side of the closed loop of the transmission chain 4; the transmission chain 4 is composed of multiple chain plates, chain pins and bushings, and the specific structure of the transmission chain 4 belongs to the prior art and will not be repeated here; the guide bar 91 is inserted between the two chain plates on the outside of the transmission chain 4, so as to facilitate the positioning of the chain plates by means of the guide bars 91 respectively arranged on the two transmission chains 4.

[0037] The hook assembly 9 further includes a hook block 93, which is arranged on the inner side of the transmission chain 4. This embodiment further includes a toggle assembly 6, which is used to push the guide bar 91 on the tooling plate 2 to be separated from the chain when the tooling plate 2 moves to the sprocket 5. Under the action of the toggle assembly 6, the hook block 93 can be pushed to contact the inner side of the transmission chain 4. Through the action of the toggle assembly 6, the guide bar 91 is separated from the transmission chain 4, so that the tooling plate 2 can smoothly pass through the sprocket 5, thereby rotating from the top of the transmission chain 4 to the bottom or from the bottom of the transmission chain 4 to the top of the transmission chain 4.

[0038] Specifically, the hook assembly 9 also includes a connecting block 92 and an elastic member 96, and the connecting block 92 is fixedly connected to the hook block 93; the elastic member 96 applies elastic force to the connecting block 92 to push the connecting block 92 to fit on the tooling plate 2; through the setting of the elastic member 96, when the tooling plate 2 is pushed out of the transmission chain 4, the connecting block 92 can be pushed out of the tooling plate 2 and the elastic member 96 can be compressed, thereby increasing the distance between the guide bar 91 and the hook block 93, so that at the sprocket 5, the guide block and the hook block 93 will not be stuck on the transmission chain 4 due to the small spacing, so that the tooling plate 2 can smoothly complete the rotation around the sprocket 5.

[0039] Specifically, the hook assembly 9 also includes a bolt 95, the screw portion of the bolt 95 passes through the connecting block 92 and is threadedly connected to the tooling plate 2, and the two ends of the elastic member 96 act on the head of the bolt 95 and the side of the connecting block 92 away from the tooling plate 2 respectively; the screw portion of the bolt 95 passes through the connecting block 92, so that the connecting block 92 can slide on the screw portion of the bolt 95, and the function of the elastic member 96 is to press the connecting block 92 against the tooling plate 2 by the elastic force of the elastic member 96 itself in the absence of external force; and when the toggle assembly 6 pushes the tooling plate 2 away from the transmission chain 4, the tooling plate 2 first drives the connecting block 92 and the hook block 93 to move together until the hook block 93 contacts the inner side of the transmission chain 4, and then the connecting block 92 and the hook block 93 stop moving, and the tooling plate 2 continues to move, thereby increasing the distance between the hook block 93 and the guide bar 91, so that the tooling plate 2 and the hook assembly 9 can smoothly pass through the sprocket 5.

[0040] Specifically, two bolts 95 are provided; in this embodiment, the elastic member 96 is configured as a spring, and a spring is correspondingly provided for each bolt 95 , and the spring is sleeved outside the screw portion of the corresponding bolt 95 .

When the connecting block 92 is pressed against the tooling plate 2, the protrusion 94 is located between the two chain plates on the inner side of the transmission chain 4. When the toggle member pushes the tooling plate 2 away from the transmission chain 4, the protrusion 94 contacts the shaft sleeve on the transmission chain 4.

[0042] In order to prevent the protrusion 94 from contacting multiple shaft sleeves of the transmission chain 4 and hindering the transmission plate from rotating around the sprocket 5, the protrusion 94 is configured to contact two shaft sleeves of the transmission chain 4 at the same time.

The length direction of the shift fork 62 on the rotating disk 61 is arranged along the radial direction of the rotating disk 61, and the rotating disk 61 pushes the tooling plate 2 through the shift fork 62 when rotating.

When the fork 62 pushes the tooling plate 2 to move, the elastic member 63 will continue to be squeezed under the reaction force, so that the fork 62 can slide on the rotating disk 61, so that the tooling plate 2 will not be stuck on the transmission chain 4 due to the fork 62.

[0050] Specifically, the fixing portion 612 is detachably connected to the base portion 611 via bolts 95 .
