[0035] In the present embodiment, during the rotation of the conveying belt 1, when the support plate 2 moves below the conveying belt 1, the distance between the magnetic plate 53 and the piston plate 41 reaches the minimum state, at this time, the attraction between the magnetic plate 53 and the piston plate 41 cooperates with the gravity of the piston plate 41 and the push plate itself, the piston plate 41 automatically moves to the soft ring 43 direction and resets, and due to the mutual resistance between the elastic strip 52 and the outer arc wall of the piston plate 41, the position of the piston plate 41 in the fixed cylinder 3 remains stable.

[0036] In further preferable embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 3, a limiting ring 54 is arranged between the piston plate 41 and the magnetic ring 423, and the outer peripheral wall of the limiting ring 54 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed cylinder 3, and the inner hole diameter of the limiting ring 54 is greater than the diameter of the push rod 421;

[0037] In the present embodiment, during the downward movement of the piston plate 41 in the piston cylinder, due to the mutual resistance between the limiting ring 54 and the piston plate 41, there is always a large distance between the piston plate 41 and the magnetic ring 423, so that the attraction between the piston plate 41 and the magnetic ring 423 is not too large.

[0038] Working principle: the improved tank conveying device in use, the operator by hand or through mechanical arm and other devices will be placed in the transport belt 1 on the transport machine, due to the mutual resistance and elastic strip 52 and piston plate 41 of the push rod 421, first push rod 421 down and compression spring 422, and with the push rod 421 down, piston plate 41 received the thrust also gradually increases, so that the elastic strip 52 and piston plate 41 bottom side arc surface of the resistance force also gradually increases, when the push plate is completely shrunk into the fixed cylinder 3, piston plate 41 and elastic strip 52 between the outer arc wall between the resistance force reaches the maximum value, at this time the elastic strip 52 shrinkage shrinkage into the storage tank 51, thus removing the piston plate 41 received the constraint limit state, and due to the attraction between the magnetic ring 423 and piston plate 41, piston plate 41 down, until the piston plate 41 and limit ring 54 mutual resistance;

[0040] The above piston plate 41 down, can expand the piston plate 41 fixed cylinder 3 in the space located at the top side of the piston plate 41, and then make the fixed cylinder 3 top opening form negative pressure cavity, so as to form a suction force on the tank through the tank bottom side of the plurality of negative pressure cavity, the tank is adsorbed and pulled on the transport belt 1 in a specific position, so that the transport belt 1 drive tank moving process, will not be affected by the inertia of the tank;

[0041] It should be noted that the above piston plate 41 down, due to the push of spring 422 to push rod 421, push rod 421 automatic up reset;

[0042] In the transport machine will move to the tank discharge end of the transport machine, the operator can be directly taken down by hand or through mechanical arm and other devices from the transport belt 1;

[0043] It should be noted that the above in the tank, can be inclined, due to the constraint of fixed cylinder 3 to the soft ring 43, constraint ring will not move with the tank together in the process of tank tilting, so that the tank and fixed cylinder 3 between the sealing state is removed, so that the external gas can flow into the top opening of the fixed cylinder 3, so as to easily remove the tank received adsorption force;

[0044] When the conveying belt 1 moves, when the support plate 2 moves above the magnetic plate 53, the suction force between the magnetic plate 53 and the piston plate 41 offsets the suction force between the piston plate 41 and the magnetic ring 423, and pulls the piston plate 41 to move back to the soft ring 43. After the piston plate 41 moves between the elastic strip 52 and the soft ring 43, the position of the piston plate 41 in the fixed cylinder 3 remains stable due to the mutual interference between the piston plate 41, the elastic strip 52 and the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 3.
