DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that descriptions involving orientations, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., and orientations or positional relationships indicated are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0027] The embodiment of the present application discloses a conveying device, which is used to enable objects on multiple conveyor belt mechanisms to move dynamically and synchronously. In this embodiment, how to synchronize the conveyance of objects on two conveyor mechanisms is described.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 A conveying device includes a conveyor belt mechanism 1 for conveying articles. The conveyor belt mechanism 1 is a prior art and will not be described in detail here. A connecting frame 11 is provided on the conveyor belt mechanism 1. A driving mechanism 2 is provided on the connecting frame 11. The driving mechanism 2 is connected to a material blocking mechanism 25. The driving mechanism 2 can drive the material blocking mechanism 25 to move so as to block the articles driven by the conveyor belt mechanism 1 to adjust the position of the articles. In this embodiment, the direction in which the articles move is the left and right direction. A plurality of visual detection components 3 for detecting the position of the articles on the conveyor belt mechanism 1 are installed on the connecting frame 11. The visual detection component 3 is preferably a CCD camera. The visual detection component 3 can detect the position of the articles on the conveyor belt mechanism 1. The specific detection logic is a prior art and will not be described in detail here. A control module connected to the driving mechanism 2 is also installed on the connecting frame 11. The visual detection component 3 is also connected to the control module. The control module can control the driving mechanism 2 to work in response to the detection information of the visual detection component 3.

[0029] Reference Figure 1In order to further ensure synchronization when the items are packaged, the conveyor belt mechanism 1 includes a motor 12 as a power source. The motor 12 is connected to the control module. The control module adjusts the speed of the motor 12 in response to the detection information of the visual detection component 3. When the speed of the motor 12 changes, the speed at which the conveyor belt mechanism 1 transports the items will also change.

[0030] When the conveyor belt mechanism 1 transports items, the position of the items can be determined based on the visual detection component 3, and then the control module can control the driving mechanism 2 to drive the blocking mechanism 25 to move, thereby blocking the items driven by the conveyor belt mechanism 1 and adjusting the position of the items on the conveyor belt body.

[0031] If the visual inspection component 3 detects that a certain proportion of items on one conveyor belt mechanism 1 is slower than the items on another conveyor belt mechanism 1, the control module can be used to control the motor 12 of the slower conveyor belt mechanism 1 to accelerate or control the motor 12 of the faster conveyor belt mechanism 1 to accelerate so as to synchronize the items as much as possible. It should be noted that the proportion of the lagging items to the total number of items can be determined according to actual needs, and no further details will be given here.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 The driving mechanism 2 includes a transverse driving member 21 installed on the connecting frame 11, and the transverse driving member 22 is connected to the transverse driving member 21, and a mounting plate 23 is installed on the transverse driving member 22. The transverse driving member 21 and the transverse driving member 22 are both electric cylinders. The transverse driving member 21 is configured to drive the mounting plate 23 to move along the conveyor belt body, that is, to move in the left and right directions. The transverse driving member 22 can drive the mounting plate 23 to move along the width direction of the conveyor belt body, that is, to move in the front and back directions; a vertical driving member 24 is installed on the mounting plate 23, and the vertical driving member 24 is preferably an electric cylinder, and a material blocking mechanism 25 is installed on the vertical driving member 24.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The material blocking mechanism 25 includes a mounting seat 251 connected to the vertical driving member 24, combined with Figure 4The mounting seat 251 includes an internal cavity 2511, in which two rotating shafts 252 rotatably connected to the mounting seat 251 are arranged, and two driving members 253 are installed on the mounting seat 251, and the driving member 253 is a motor, and one driving member 253 is connected to a rotating shaft 252; a plurality of connecting gears 254 are installed on each rotating shaft 252, and the plurality of connecting gears 254 are evenly distributed along the vertical direction, and the mounting seat 251 is slidably connected with a plurality of connecting racks 255, and each connecting rack 255 is meshed with a connecting gear 254, and the plurality of connecting racks 255 on the left rotating shaft 252 and the plurality of connecting racks 255 on the right rotating shaft 252 are staggered; each connecting rack 255 is connected to a material blocking member 256, and the rotation of the connecting gear 254 can drive the connecting rack 255 to move laterally, thereby driving the material blocking member 256 to move laterally away from the mounting seat 251.

[0034] The visual inspection member 3 can also detect the size of the object. After obtaining the size information of the object, the driving member 253 drives the rotating shaft 252 to rotate, thereby rotating the connecting gear 254, and then the connecting rack 255 moves and drives the material blocking member 256 away from the mounting seat 251; the above structure is used to adjust the material blocking area formed by multiple material blocking members 256 to meet the blocking requirements of objects of different sizes. When adjacent objects on the conveyor belt mechanism 1 are close, especially when the objects are distributed along the width direction of the conveyor belt body on the conveyor belt mechanism 1, this design can prevent the objects from being blocked by mistake. Reference Figure 3 A guide groove 2512 is provided on the outer wall of the mounting seat 251, and the material blocking member 256 is slidably connected to the guide groove 2512. Specifically, the guide groove 2512 is a T-shaped guide groove, and the material blocking member 256 is a material blocking strip. The connection between the material blocking strip and the T-shaped guide groove 2512 is used to bear the force exerted on the material blocking strip when blocking the material; a limiting member 257 is also provided on the outer wall of the mounting seat 251, and an abutting member 258 is provided on the material blocking member 256. The abutting member 258 can move and abut against the limiting member 257, so that the material blocking member 256 is limited and then prevented from moving too far.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 Combined with Figure 1In addition, the visual detection component 3 can also detect the placement angle of the object on the conveyor belt mechanism 1. In order to meet the subsequent packaging needs and facilitate subsequent adjustment, a fixing frame 4 is also provided on the connecting frame 11. The fixing frame 4 is connected with a horizontal feed member 41. The horizontal feed member 41 is provided with a fixing plate 42. The horizontal feed member 41 can drive the fixing plate 42 to move along the traveling direction of the conveyor belt body. A plurality of vertical feed members 43 are installed on the fixing plate 42. The horizontal feed member 41 and the vertical feed member 43 are both cylinders. Each vertical feed member 43 is provided with a rotating feed member 44, which is a rotating cylinder. The rotating feed member 44 is connected with an adsorption member 45, which is a sponge suction cup. The sponge suction cup can easily adsorb objects of various shapes and materials.

[0036] The implementation principle of a transmission device in the embodiment of the present application is: When the conveyor belt mechanism 1 transports articles, the position and size of the articles are determined based on the visual detection component 3, and then the control module is used to control the transverse driving component 1 21, the transverse driving component 22 and the vertical driving component 24 to drive the mounting seat 251 to move in front of the articles, and at the same time drive the two driving components 253 to drive each blocking component 256 away from the mounting seat 251 to expand the blocking area to meet the blocking requirements. At this time, because the mounting seat 251 is stationary and blocks the articles, the articles will slide on the conveyor belt mechanism 1. After the position of the articles is adjusted, the transverse driving component 1 21, the transverse driving component 22 and the vertical driving component 24 are flexibly controlled to reset the mounting seat 251.

[0037] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
