Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of blocking mechanism technology, and more specifically to a blocking mechanism and a transmission device including the blocking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, when multiple workpieces are transported on a conveyor line, if they encounter obstructions or the conveyor line suddenly stops, the workpieces may collide head-to-head. When these workpieces arrive at the processing station, to facilitate processing of the adjacent workpieces in front of the current workpiece and to avoid interference when placing the adjacent workpieces back, it is usually necessary to block the current workpiece and separate it from the adjacent workpieces in front. However, current blocking mechanisms are all vertical lifting blocks without a backward pushing function, making it impossible to separate workpieces that are transported head-to-head. To prevent multiple workpieces from collide head-to-head, existing conveyor lines require multiple blocking mechanisms or multiple positioning mechanisms to space out the workpieces, resulting in complex installation and increased equipment costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above, it is necessary to propose a separating mechanism and a transmission device including the separating mechanism, which can separate workpieces that are connected end to end for transmission, and can reduce the equipment cost of the transmission device.

[0004] This application provides a blocking mechanism for separating workpieces that are being transported end-to-end. The blocking mechanism includes a driving component and a blocking component. The blocking component is connected to the driving component and is used to move along a direction inclined to the driving component under the drive of the driving component to stop and push the current workpiece, so as to separate the current workpiece from the adjacent workpiece in front.

[0005] The aforementioned blocking mechanism, by setting the blocking component to move along a direction inclined to the driving component under the drive component, stops and pushes the current workpiece. It can stop the current workpiece while simultaneously pushing it backward, thereby separating the current workpiece from the adjacent workpiece in front. Thus, the blocking mechanism of this application achieves the function of separating workpieces that are transported end-to-end in sequence. Since the blocking mechanism of this application can separate multiple workpieces that are transported end-to-end in sequence, there is no need to set multiple blocking mechanisms or multiple positioning mechanisms on the conveyor line to position multiple workpieces at intervals, thereby simplifying the installation on the conveyor line and reducing equipment costs.

[0006] In some embodiments, the blocking assembly includes a stop member that can move in the same orientation in a direction inclined to the driving assembly under the drive assembly to stop and push the current workpiece, so as to separate the current workpiece from the adjacent workpiece in front.

[0007] In some embodiments, the stop includes a directional block and a pushing block; the directional block can move in the same posture along a direction inclined to the driving component under the drive of the driving component, and the directional block has a mounting slot; the pushing block is movably engaged with the mounting slot to stop and push the current workpiece under the drive of the directional block.

[0008] In some embodiments, the stop assembly further includes a rotating component and a sway module, both of which are rotatably connected to the drive assembly. The rotating component and the sway module are both rotatably connected to the stop component. The drive assembly can drive the sway module to move the stop component and the rotating component.

[0009] In some embodiments, the yaw module includes a rolling element that abuts against the drive assembly.

[0010] In some embodiments, the drive assembly includes a support member and a moving member; the rotating member and the yaw module are both rotatably connected to the support member; the moving member is slidably disposed on the support member and abuts against the rolling member, and the moving member is provided with an abutting portion that abuts against the rolling member.

[0011] In some embodiments, the blocking mechanism further includes a reset member, the two ends of which are connected to the support member and the sway module respectively, and the reset member is used to drive the sway module to reset when the abutment part separates from the rolling member.

[0012] This application embodiment also provides a transmission device, including the blocking mechanism as described above. The transmission device further includes a transmission line for transmitting a plurality of workpieces whose ends are sequentially abutting each other. The blocking mechanism is disposed on the transmission line for separating the workpieces that are sequentially abutting each other during transmission.

[0013] The aforementioned transmission device can separate workpieces that are sequentially connected to the transmission line by setting a blocking mechanism on the transmission line, thereby eliminating the need to set multiple blocking mechanisms or multiple positioning mechanisms on the transmission line to position multiple workpieces at intervals, thus reducing the equipment cost of the transmission device.

[0014] In some embodiments, the transmission device further includes a positioning mechanism and a lifting mechanism; the positioning mechanism is disposed on the transmission line and spaced apart from the blocking mechanism, and along the transmission direction of the transmission line, the positioning mechanism is located in front of the blocking mechanism, and the distance between the positioning mechanism and the blocking mechanism is greater than the width of one workpiece and less than the width of two workpieces, the positioning mechanism is used to stop the workpiece located in front of the blocking mechanism; the lifting mechanism is disposed on the transmission line and located between the blocking mechanism and the positioning mechanism, and is used to lift the workpiece located between the blocking mechanism and the positioning mechanism.

[0015] In some embodiments, the transmission device further includes a stop mechanism, which is disposed on the transmission line and located on the side of the positioning mechanism away from the blocking mechanism. The distance between the stop mechanism and the positioning mechanism is greater than the width of one workpiece and less than the width of two workpieces. The stop mechanism can be used to position the workpiece that has passed through the positioning mechanism, so that the workpiece located behind the stop mechanism on the transmission line abuts again end to end.

[0016] In some embodiments, the positioning mechanism has the same structure as the blocking mechanism. Attached Figure Description

Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this application, it should be noted that "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly and specifically defined.

[0071] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between components; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances. The following will describe some embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0072] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a dividing mechanism 100, which includes a drive component 10 and a dividing component 20.

[0073] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the separating mechanism 100 is used to separate workpieces 400 that are being transported end-to-end in sequence. The workpieces 400 can be carriers carrying materials to be processed (not shown), product components, etc., and multiple workpieces 400 are transported end-to-end on the transport line 500. For ease of understanding and explanation, this embodiment uses the workpiece 400 as a carrier carrying materials to be processed, with each workpiece 400 having a pushing groove 4001 at its front end as an example. Obviously, this is not a limitation of this embodiment.

[0074] In this embodiment, the driving component 10 can be disposed on the transmission line 500, and the blocking component 20 is connected to the driving component 10. The blocking component 20 is used to move along a direction inclined to the driving component 10 under the drive of the driving component 10 to stop and push the current workpiece 400, so that the current workpiece 400 is separated from the adjacent workpiece 400 in front. When the transmission line 500 drives the current workpiece 400 to the blocking component 20, the blocking component 20 moves along a direction inclined to the driving component 10 under the drive of the driving component 10 and inserts into the pushing groove 4001 of the current workpiece 400. While stopping the current workpiece 400, the blocking component 20 pushes the current workpiece 400 backward, thereby separating the current workpiece 400 from the adjacent workpiece 400 in front, realizing the function of separating the workpieces 400 that are transmitted end to end.

[0075] In some other embodiments, the blocking component 20 can also be rotatably mounted on the transmission line 500. The blocking component 20 moves in a direction inclined to the driving component 10 under the drive of the driving component 10, which can also achieve the function of separating the workpiece 400 that is being transmitted end to end. This application does not specifically limit this aspect.

[0076] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The drive assembly 10 includes a support member 11, a drive unit 12, and a moving member 13. The support member 11 is block-shaped and is mounted on the transmission line 500. The blocking assembly 20 is rotatably mounted on the support member 11. The support member 11 has a sliding hole 111 facing the blocking assembly 20. The moving member 13 is also block-shaped and is slidably mounted in the sliding hole 111 of the support member 11, abutting against the blocking assembly 20. The drive unit 12 is mounted on the support member 11 and located on the side of the sliding hole 111 away from the blocking assembly 20. The drive unit 12 is connected to the moving member 13 and is used to drive the moving member 13 to push the blocking assembly 20 to move in a direction inclined to the support member 11.

[0077] In some other embodiments, the moving part 13 may also be self-powered, thereby enabling it to push the sub-assembly 20 to move in a direction inclined to the support 11.

[0078] In this embodiment, a mounting boss 112 is provided on the side of the support member 11 away from the drive component 10, and the mounting boss 112 is located on one side of the sliding hole 111. The blocking component 20 is rotatably mounted on the mounting boss 112. A clearance recess 113 is also provided on the side of the support member 11 away from the drive component 10, which is directly opposite to and communicates with the sliding hole 111. The clearance recess 113 is used to allow the part of the blocking component 20 close to the clearance recess 113 to extend into when the moving member 13 is disengaged from the blocking component 20. This helps to improve the overall compactness of the blocking mechanism 100 and reduces the space occupied by the blocking mechanism 100.

[0079] In this embodiment, the moving member 13 has an abutment portion 131 on the side facing the blocking assembly 20. The abutment portion 131 can be an inclined surface. The abutment portion 131 abuts against the blocking assembly 20, and the moving member 13 pushes the blocking assembly 20 to move in a direction inclined to the support member 11 through the abutment portion 131. The abutment portion 131 guides the movement direction of the blocking assembly 20, which helps to improve the stability of the blocking assembly 20 moving in a direction inclined to the support member 11 and separating the workpiece 400 that is being transferred end to end.

[0080] In some other embodiments, the abutment portion 131 may also be a strip hole or a strip groove that cooperates with the blocking component 20. When the moving member 13 moves up and down, the moving member 13 drives the blocking component 20 to slide in the strip hole or strip groove, thereby driving the blocking component 20 to reciprocate in the direction inclined to the support member 11. This application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0081] In this embodiment, the moving part 13 has a connecting slot 132 on the side facing the driving unit 12. The driving unit 12 includes a sliding driving part 121 and a connecting part 122. The connecting part 122 is also block-shaped. The connecting part 122 is located in the sliding hole 111 and is movably engaged with the connecting slot 132. The sliding driving part 121 is located on the side of the support part 11 away from the blocking assembly 20 and is connected to the connecting part 122. The sliding driving part 121 can be a telescopic cylinder. The sliding driving part 121 drives the moving part 13 to slide in the sliding hole 111 through the connecting part 122. By setting the connecting slot 132 of the connector 122 and the moving part 13 to be movably engaged, a certain gap is provided between the connector 122 and the moving part 13. This effectively avoids the situation where the moving part 13 is damaged under the pressure of the sliding hole 111 due to possible installation errors when the sliding drive part 121 is directly rigidly connected to the moving part 13. This improves the ease of assembling the sliding drive part 121 and the moving part 13.

[0082] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the blocking component 20 includes a sway module 21, a rotating component 22, and a stop component 23. One end of the sway module 21 and the rotating component 22 are rotatably connected to the drive component 10, and the other end of the sway module 21 and the rotating component 22 are rotatably connected to the stop component 23. The drive component 10 can drive the sway module 21 to move the rotating component 22 and the stop component 23.

[0083] In one embodiment, one end of the yaw module 21 and the rotating member 22 are rotatably connected to the mounting boss 112 of the support member 11 of the drive assembly 10, and the other end of the rotating member 22 and the yaw module 21 are rotatably connected to the stop member 23. The yaw module 21 abuts against the abutting portion 131 of the moving member 13 of the drive assembly 10. The moving member 13 of the drive assembly 10 can drive the yaw module 21 to move the stop member 23 and the rotating member 22, so that the stop member 23 can move in the same posture in the direction inclined to the drive assembly 10 under the drive of the drive assembly 10 to stop and push the current workpiece 400, so that the current workpiece 400 is separated from the adjacent workpiece 400 in front. By setting the stop member 23 to move in the same posture along the direction inclined to the drive component 10 under the drive of the drive component 10 to stop and push the current workpiece 400, the stop member 23 can apply force evenly when pushing the workpiece 400, thereby reducing the probability of the workpiece 400 shaking and making the current workpiece 400 retreat a predetermined distance, which helps to improve the stability and accuracy of separating the workpiece 400 that is transferred end to end.

[0084] In this embodiment, the oscillating module 21 includes an oscillating member 211 and a rolling member 212. One end of the oscillating member 211 is rotatably connected to the mounting boss 112 of the support member 11, and the other end of the oscillating member 211 is rotatably connected to the stop member 23. The oscillating member 211 is located between the rotating member 22 and the support member 11 and is directly opposite to the sliding hole 111. The rolling member 212 is rotatably disposed on the side of the oscillating member 211 away from the rotating member 22. The rolling member 212 abuts against the abutting part 131 of the moving member 13 of the drive assembly 10. The rolling element 212 can be a bearing, roller, etc. When the moving element 13 drives the oscillating module 21 to move the stop 23 and the rotating element 22, the moving element 13 abuts against the rolling element 212 through the abutment part 131. Under the push of the abutment part 131, the rolling element 212 moves in a direction inclined to the support member 11. At the same time, the rolling element 212 drives the oscillating element 211 to swing, and the oscillating element 211 drives the stop 23 and the rotating element 22 to move, so that the stop 23 moves in the same posture in a direction inclined to the support member 11 to stop and push the current workpiece 400. By setting the rolling element 212 to abut against the moving element 13 of the driving assembly 10, the friction between the rolling element 212 and the moving element 13 can be reduced, which helps to improve the stability of the oscillating module 21 driving the stop 23 and the rotating element 22 to move under the push of the moving element 13.

[0085] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 In this embodiment, when the rolling element 212 is a bearing, an annular groove 2111 is also provided at the connection between the sway bar 211 and the rolling element 212. The annular groove 2111 abuts against the inner ring (not shown) of the rolling element 212 to restrict the rolling element 212 from moving. The outer ring (not shown) of the rolling element 212 abuts against the abutting part 131 of the moving element 13 but does not abut against the sway bar 211, thereby reducing the friction between the rolling element 212 and the sway bar 211.

[0086] In this embodiment, the deflector 211 is plate-shaped and roughly triangular. The connection points between the deflector 211 and the mounting boss 112, the stop 23 and the rolling member 212 are located at the three corners of the deflector 211. The rolling member 212 is directly opposite the clearance recess 113 of the support member 11. When the rotating member 22 is disengaged from the rolling member 212, the rolling member 212 and the part of the rolling member 212 connected to the deflector 211 extend into the clearance recess 113, which can help improve the compactness of the overall structure of the blocking mechanism 100 and reduce the space occupied by the blocking mechanism 100.

[0087] In this embodiment, the rotating member 22 is also plate-shaped, and there are two rotating members 22 and two sway members 211. The two rotating members 22 are located on both sides of the mounting boss 112 and the stop member 23, respectively, and are rotatably connected to the mounting boss 112 and the stop member 23. The two sway members 211 are also located on both sides of the mounting boss 112 and the rolling member 212, respectively, and are rotatably connected to the mounting boss 112 and the rolling member 212. Thus, by setting two rotating members 22 and two sway members 211, it is beneficial to improve the stability of the stop member 23 moving in the same posture in the direction inclined to the support member 11 under the drive of the moving member 13.

[0088] In this embodiment, the sway member 211 and the rotating member 22 are rotatably connected to the mounting boss 112 via a pin 24. The sway member 211 and the rotating member 22 are also rotatably connected to the stop member 23 via a pin 24. The distance between the sway member 211 and the connection point of the mounting boss 112 and the stop member 23 of the support member 11 is equal to the distance between the rotating member 22 and the connection point of the mounting boss 112 and the stop member 23 of the support member 11. The distance between the mounting boss 112 of the support member 11 and the connection point of the sway member 211 and the rotating member 22 is equal to the distance between the stop member 23 and the connection point of the sway member 211 and the rotating member 22. Thus, the sway member 211, the rotating member 22, the mounting boss 112, and the stop member 23 form a four-bar linkage mechanism based on the mounting boss 112, which enables the member to maintain the same posture when moving under the drive of the moving member 13. This is beneficial to the stability and accuracy of the stop member 23 in separating the workpiece 400 that is being transferred from end to end.

[0089] In this embodiment, the sway member 211 has a first clearance recess 2112 on the side facing the rotating member 22, and the rotating member 22 has a second clearance recess 221 on the side facing the sway member 211, which is directly opposite the first clearance recess 2112. The first clearance recess 2112 and the second clearance recess 221 are misaligned when the stop member 23 approaches the support member 11, so that the part of the rotating member 22 near the first clearance recess 2112 extends into the first clearance recess 2112, and the part of the sway member 211 near the second clearance recess 221 extends into the second clearance recess 221. Thus, by setting the first clearance recess 2112 to avoid the rotating member 22 and setting the second clearance recess 221 to avoid the sway member 211, it is beneficial to improve the overall compactness of the blocking mechanism 100 and to reduce the space occupied by the blocking mechanism 100.

[0090] In this embodiment, the stop member 23 includes a directional block 231 and a pushing block 232. The directional block 231 is rotatably connected to the sway member 211 and the rotating member 22. When the moving member 13 of the drive assembly 10 drives the rolling member 212, the sway member 211, and the rotating member 22 to move, the directional block 231 moves in the same posture along the direction inclined to the support member 11 of the drive assembly 10 under the drive of the sway member 211 and the rotating member 22. This allows the directional block 231 to move in the same posture along the direction inclined to the support member 11 of the drive assembly 10 under the drive of the moving member 13 of the drive assembly 10. A mounting slot 2311 is provided on the side of the directional block 231 away from the sway member 211. The mounting slot 2311 can be a T-shaped slot. The pushing block 232 is movably engaged with the mounting slot 2311 to stop and push the current workpiece 400 under the drive of the directional block 231. Thus, by movably engaging the directional block 231 with the mounting slot 2311 of the push block 232, it is easy to quickly replace the push block 232 when it wears out.

[0091] In this embodiment, the push block 232 can be made of flexible materials such as urethane, which helps to reduce damage to the workpiece 400.

[0092] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the blocking mechanism 100 further includes a reset member 30, which can be a tension spring. Both ends of the reset member 30 are connected to the support member 11 and the swing member 211 of the swing module 21, respectively. The reset member 30 is used to reset the swing member 211 and the rolling member 212 of the swing module 21 when the abutment portion 131 separates from the rolling member 212. When the swing member 211 and the rolling member 212 reset and move towards the clearance notch 113 of the support member 11, the swing member 211 drives the stop member 23 and the rotating member 22 to move away from the workpiece 400. The push block 232 of the stop member 23 disengages from the current workpiece 400 and ends its blocking of the current workpiece 400. Thus, by setting the reset member 30 to reset the swing module 21 when the abutment portion 131 separates from the rolling member 212, it is convenient for the stop member 23 to end its blocking of the workpiece 400 and allow the workpiece 400 to pass.

[0093] In summary, the blocking mechanism 100 of this embodiment, by setting the blocking component 20 to move in a direction inclined to the driving component 10 under the drive of the driving component 10 to stop and push the current workpiece 400, can stop the current workpiece 400 and push it backward at the same time, thereby separating the current workpiece 400 from the adjacent workpiece 400 in front. Thus, the blocking mechanism 100 of this embodiment realizes the function of separating workpieces 400 that are being transported end to end. Since the blocking mechanism 100 of this application can separate multiple workpieces that are connected end to end, it is not necessary to set multiple blocking mechanisms (not shown) or multiple positioning mechanisms (not shown) on the transmission line 500 to position multiple workpieces 400 at intervals, thereby simplifying the installation on the conveyor line and reducing equipment costs.

[0094] Please see Figure 5 This application embodiment also provides a transmission device 1000, including the blocking mechanism 100 as described above. The transmission device 1000 also includes a transmission line 500, which is used to transmit a plurality of workpieces 400 whose ends are connected in sequence. The blocking mechanism 100 is disposed on the transmission line 500 and is used to separate the workpieces 400 that are connected in sequence for transmission.

[0095] Thus, by providing a blocking mechanism 1000 on the transmission line 500, the transmission device 1000 of this application embodiment can separate the workpieces 400 that are sequentially connected to the transmission line 500 for transmission, thereby eliminating the need to provide multiple blocking mechanisms or multiple positioning mechanisms on the transmission line 500 to position multiple workpieces 400 at intervals, thereby reducing the equipment cost of the transmission device 1000.

[0096] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6In this embodiment, the transmission device 1000 further includes a positioning mechanism 600 and a lifting mechanism 700. The positioning mechanism 600 is disposed on the transmission line 500 and spaced apart from the blocking mechanism 100. Along the transmission direction of the transmission line 500, the positioning mechanism 600 is located in front of the blocking mechanism 100. The distance between the positioning mechanism 600 and the blocking mechanism 100 is greater than the width of one workpiece 400 and less than the width of two workpieces 400. A workpiece 400 can be a single workpiece, a workpiece unit lifted by the lifting mechanism 700 at one time, or multiple workpieces connected as a group. The positioning mechanism 600 is used to stop the workpiece 400 located in front of the blocking mechanism 100. The lifting mechanism 700 is disposed on the transmission line 500 and located between the blocking mechanism 100 and the positioning mechanism 600. The lifting mechanism 700 is used to lift the workpiece 400 located between the blocking mechanism 100 and the positioning mechanism 600. Thus, by setting a positioning mechanism 600 to stop the workpiece 400 in front of the separating mechanism 100, and setting a lifting mechanism 700 to lift the workpiece 400 located between the separating mechanism 100 and the positioning mechanism 600, it is convenient to remove the workpiece 400 lifted by the lifting mechanism 700 and remove the material carried by the workpiece 400 for processing.

[0097] In one application scenario, after the workpiece 400 lifted by the lifting mechanism 700 is removed and the material carried by the workpiece 400 is processed, the corresponding workpiece 400 is placed back onto the lifting mechanism 700, and the lifting mechanism 700 drives the corresponding workpiece 400 back to the transmission line 500 for transmission.

[0098] In this embodiment, the structure of the positioning mechanism 600 can be the same as that of the blocking mechanism 100. The lifting mechanism 700 includes a lifting drive 701, a lifting member 702, and a positioning pin 703. A lifting drive component 701 is located on the transmission line 500 and between the blocking mechanism 100 and the positioning mechanism 600. The lifting drive component 701 can be a telescopic cylinder. A lifting component 702 is block-shaped and connected to the lifting drive component 701. The lifting component 702 is used to move closer to or further away from the transmission line 500 under the drive of the lifting drive component 701, and when moving away from the transmission line 500, it lifts the workpiece 400 located between the blocking mechanism 100 and the positioning mechanism 600. A positioning pin 703 is located on the side of the lifting component 702 opposite to the lifting drive component 701. The positioning pin 703 is used to insert the workpiece 400 when the lifting component 702 lifts the workpiece 400 located between the blocking mechanism 100 and the positioning mechanism 600, to position the workpiece 400 on the lifting component 702. Specifically, a positioning hole 4002 is provided on the lower end face of the workpiece 400 (e.g., ...). Figure 4As shown, when the lifting member 702, driven by the lifting drive member 701, lifts the workpiece 400 located between the blocking mechanism 100 and the positioning mechanism 600, the positioning pin 703 is inserted into the positioning hole 4002 of the workpiece 400 to position the workpiece 400. Thus, by setting the lifting member 702 to move closer to or further away from the transmission line 500 under the drive of the lifting drive member 701, and by setting the positioning pin 703 to position the workpiece 400, the accuracy of lifting the workpiece 400 is improved.

[0099] Please refer to it again. Figure 5 In this embodiment, the transmission device 1000 further includes a stop mechanism 800. The stop mechanism 800 is disposed on the transmission line 500 and located on the side of the positioning mechanism 600 away from the blocking mechanism 100. The distance between the stop mechanism 800 and the positioning mechanism 600 is greater than the width of one workpiece 400 and less than the width of two workpieces 400. The stop mechanism 800 is used to position the workpiece 400 that has passed through the positioning mechanism 600, so that the workpiece 400 located behind the stop mechanism 800 on the transmission line 500 abuts head to tail again.

[0100] For ease of understanding and explanation, workpiece 400 can be a first workpiece 410, a second workpiece 420, and a third workpiece 430. The first workpiece 410, the second workpiece 420, and the third workpiece 430 are connected end to end on the transmission line 500 for transmission. Along the transmission direction of the transmission line 500, the first workpiece 410 is located at the front, and the second workpiece 420 is located between the first workpiece 410 and the third workpiece 430.

[0101] In one usage scenario, the first workpiece 410 moves between the separating mechanism 100 and the positioning mechanism 600 and is stopped by the positioning mechanism 600. The separating mechanism 100 pushes the second workpiece 420 backward and separates it from the first workpiece 410. The lifting mechanism 700 lifts the first workpiece 410 so that the material carried by the first workpiece 410 can be removed for processing. When the first workpiece 410 is placed back on the lifting mechanism 700, the lifting mechanism 700 drives the first workpiece 410 back to the transmission line 500. At this time, both the positioning mechanism 600 and the separating mechanism 100 return to their original positions to allow the first workpiece 410 and the second workpiece 420 to pass. The second workpiece 420 and the third workpiece 430 move forward under the drive of the transmission line 500. The stop mechanism 800 stops and positions the first workpiece 410. The first workpiece 410, the second workpiece 420 and the third workpiece 430 abut together again. The second workpiece 420 and the third workpiece 430 are positioned by the first workpiece 410. The blocking mechanism 100 and the positioning workpiece 400 move upward to stop the second workpiece 420 and the third workpiece 430 respectively, so that the second workpiece 420 is located between the blocking mechanism 100 and the positioning mechanism 600. When the lifting mechanism 700 lifts the second workpiece 420, the stop mechanism 800 can release the first workpiece 410. Thus, when the material on the first workpiece 410 is processed and the first workpiece 410 returns to the transmission line 500, the first workpiece 410 and the second workpiece 420 can move forward simultaneously. There is no need to wait for the first workpiece 410 to flow out of the positioning mechanism 600 and the backstop mechanism 100 to release the second workpiece 420. Furthermore, the positioning mechanism 600 will not overturn the second workpiece 420, thereby saving the waiting time of the second workpiece 420 and improving the conveying efficiency of the workpiece 400.

[0102] In another usage scenario, the first workpiece 410 moves between the separating mechanism 100 and the positioning mechanism 600 and is stopped by the positioning mechanism 600. The separating mechanism 100 pushes the second workpiece 420 backward and separates it from the first workpiece 410. The lifting mechanism 700 lifts the first workpiece 410 so that the first workpiece 410 can be removed and the material carried by the first workpiece 410 can be processed. While the lifting mechanism 700 is lifting the first workpiece 410, if it is necessary to switch the order of the first workpiece 410 and the second workpiece 420 or the second workpiece 420... No lifting is required. At this point, the blocking mechanism 100 returns to its original position to release the second workpiece 420, the positioning mechanism 600 moves upward to stop the second workpiece 420, the blocking mechanism 100 moves upward again to push the third workpiece 430 backward and separate it from the second workpiece 420, the positioning mechanism 600 moves downward to release the second workpiece 420, and the stopping mechanism 800 can stop or release the second workpiece 420. When the lifting mechanism 700 drives the first workpiece 410 back to the transmission line 500, the first workpiece 410 and the second workpiece 420 are switched. In this way, the workpieces 400 can be switched in order for easy transmission on the transmission line 500.

[0103] In this embodiment, the stop mechanism 800 includes a stop drive 801 and a stop block 802. The stop drive 801 is disposed on the transmission line 500 and located on the side of the positioning mechanism 600 away from the blocking mechanism 100. The stop drive 801 can be a telescopic cylinder. The stop block 802 moves closer to or away from the transmission line 500 under the drive of the stop drive 801. When the stop block 802 moves away from the transmission line 500 under the drive of the stop drive 801, the stop block 802 inserts into the push groove 4001 of the workpiece 400 (e.g., ...). Figure 4 (As shown) and stop the workpiece 400.

[0104] In some other embodiments, the structure of the stop mechanism 800 may be the same as that of the stop mechanism 100, and the structure of the positioning mechanism 600 may be the same as that of the stop mechanism 800. This application does not specifically limit this aspect.

[0105] Please refer to it again. Figure 5In this embodiment, the transmission device 1000 further includes a sensing component 900, which includes a bracket 901 and a sensor 902. Along the transmission direction of the transmission line 500, the bracket 901 is located on the side of the blocking mechanism 100 away from the positioning mechanism 600. The sensor 902 is disposed on the bracket 901 and faces the transmission line 500. The sensor 902 can be a scanner, reader, or the like. The sensor 902 is coupled to the blocking mechanism 100, the positioning mechanism 600, the lifting mechanism 700, and the stop mechanism 800. The sensor 902 is used to scan information about the workpiece 400, such as the barcode of the workpiece 400, to identify whether the workpiece 400 needs to be lifted by the lifting mechanism 700 or whether the workpiece 400 needs to be swapped with adjacent workpieces 400. Thus, by setting the sensor 902, the blocking mechanism 100, the positioning mechanism 600, the lifting mechanism 700, and the stop mechanism 800 can cooperate to complete the corresponding operations.
