Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vacuum insulation panel production, in particular to an automatic vacuum system for VIP panels. Background Art
[0002] During the production process of VIP panels (vacuum insulation panels), each VIP panel needs to be taken and placed multiple times before vacuum is applied. Before vacuum is applied, the core material and getter inside the VIP panel are not fixed, causing the core material in the membrane bag to be misplaced or skewed due to frequent taking and placing, resulting in product size deviations, getter displacement, and other quality defects or product scrapping. The rework process will increase the product defect rate and product processing costs, and the VIP panel needs to be placed in locations with poor human engineering such as the upper or bottom layers of the vacuum rack of the vacuum equipment, which can easily cause fatigue of the operators; the degree of automation is low, the personnel requirements are large, and the labor and management costs are high. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present application discloses an automatic vacuum system for VIP panels to solve the problems in the prior art of frequent removal and placement of VIP panels, which may cause the core material in the membrane bag to become misplaced or skewed, and the problem of operator fatigue caused by manually placing the VIP panels into the upper or lower layers of the vacuum rack of the vacuum equipment.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A VIP panel automatic vacuum system, comprising: Vacuum table, which is used to place VIP board; Bagging station: The bagging station is used to make VIP boards and place multiple VIP boards evenly on the vacuum table; Vacuum station: The vacuum station is used to vacuum and seal the VIP board on the vacuum table; The off-line station is used to remove all the vacuumed VIP boards on the vacuum table; Circular conveyor line, which is used to move the vacuum table between the bagging station, vacuum station and downline station; The transfer lifting mechanism is arranged at the corner of the circulating conveying line. The transfer lifting mechanism is used to transfer the vacuum table from one direction to another to realize the circulating conveying of the vacuum table.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention transports the vacuum table to the bagging station and keeps it stationary. The operator places the film bag on the vacuum table, then puts the core material and getter into the film bag to complete the production of the VIP board. After fixing the bag mouth, the bag is transported to the vacuum station by the circulating conveyor line. The VIP board on the vacuum table is vacuumed and sealed. After the sealing operation is completed, the vacuum table is transported to the offline station by the circulating conveyor line. All the vacuumized VIP boards on the vacuum table are removed. The empty vacuum table after the VIP boards are removed is transported back to the bagging station by the circulating conveyor line to enter the next cycle. The vacuum table is transferred from one direction to another by the transfer lifting mechanism to realize the circular transportation of the vacuum table. 2. The VIP board of the present invention is directly bagged on the vacuum table, and there is no need to pick up or move the VIP board subsequently, thus avoiding the problems of core material displacement, misalignment caused by skewness, bevel edge and getter displacement caused by manual picking up and placing of the VIP board; 3. The present invention reduces the frequency of VIP board repair or scrapping, improves the yield rate of VIP boards, and improves product quality and quality stability; 4.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0009] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementations obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0010] The terms "first", "second", "third", etc. in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", "third", etc. are generally of the same type, and do not limit the number of objects. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.
[0011] The inventive concept of this application is described here: In the production process of VIP panels (vacuum insulation panels), the core material and getter need to be loaded into film bags at the bagging station, and then placed in the cavity of the vacuum equipment for vacuuming and sealing. The current industry vacuum production mode is one bagging station for multiple vacuum equipment. The bagging process: the bagging station loads the core material and getter into the film bag, and then puts the packed product (unsealed) onto the conveyor belt and sends it to the vacuum station. After each product arrives at the vacuum station, it is manually placed on the 6-layer vacuum rack of the vacuum equipment. Products are placed on each layer of the vacuum rack. The highest layer is about 1.6 meters high. When placing, the product needs to be manually lifted to head height, and the bottom layer is about 0.5 meters high. The operator needs to bend over or squat to operate. After each layer of the vacuum rack of the vacuum equipment is full, the vacuum rack is pushed into the vacuum equipment for vacuuming and sealing. In the current mode, each product (i.e. VIP board, unsealed) that has been bagged goes from the bagging The bagging station is placed on the conveyor belt, and the product needs to be taken down and placed on the vacuum rack of the vacuum equipment when it arrives at the vacuum station. The bagging station is a certain distance away from the vacuum equipment and cannot be placed directly on the vacuum rack of the vacuum equipment. That is, each product (i.e. VIP board, unsealed) needs to be taken and placed many times before vacuuming. The core material and getter inside the VIP board are not fixed before vacuuming, so that the core material in the film bag is misplaced and skewed due to frequent taking and placing, resulting in product size tolerance, getter displacement and other quality defects or product scrapping. The rework process will cause the product defect rate to increase, which increases the product processing cost, especially when the product is placed on the upper or bottom floors of the vacuum rack of the vacuum equipment, where the human-machine engineering is poor. This phenomenon is more serious; manual taking and placing of products on the upper and lower floors of the vacuum rack for a long time has poor ergonomics and can easily cause fatigue of the operators; the degree of automation is low, the personnel demand is large, and the labor cost and management cost are high.
[0012] Based on this, the inventor provides an automatic vacuum system for VIP boards to avoid the core material in the membrane bag from being misplaced or skewed due to frequent taking and placing when the VIP board is not sealed, resulting in poor quality such as product size deviation and getter displacement or product scrapping. The rework process will cause the product defective rate to increase, increasing the product processing cost. It also solves the problems of operator fatigue caused by manually placing the VIP board on the upper or bottom layer of the vacuum rack of the vacuum equipment, low degree of automation, large personnel demand, high labor cost and management cost.
[0013] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 11 , a VIP board automatic vacuum system provided by this application is described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios.
[0014] Reference Figures 1 to 8 , a VIP board automatic vacuum system, including: a vacuum table 100, a bagging station 200, a vacuum station 300, a downline station 400, a circulating conveyor line 500 and a transfer lifting mechanism 600; Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 7 , the vacuum table 100 is used to place the VIP plate 10; Specifically, in this embodiment, the width of the vacuum table 100 is 1500 mm, and the placement quantity is determined according to the width of the VIP board 10. If the width of the VIP board 10 is 700 mm, only 4 pieces can be placed. If the width of the VIP board 10 is 400 mm, 6 pieces can be placed. In this embodiment, the width of the VIP board 10 is 400 mm, and 6 VIP boards 10 can be placed on one vacuum table 100.
[0015] In this embodiment, the movement process of the vacuum table 100 is step-by-step, and the vacuum table 100 can be started and stopped independently at any workstation, rather than being started and stopped uniformly across the entire line.
[0016] Reference Figure 2 , the bagging station 200 is used to make VIP panels 10 and evenly place multiple VIP panels 10 on the vacuum table 100; Specifically, at the bagging station 200, the operator places the film bag on the vacuum table 100, and then puts the core material and the getter into the film bag to complete the production of the VIP board 10. At this time, the film bag mouth is in an unsealed state; a blocking mechanism and a sensor are provided at the bagging station 200. The blocking mechanism can be a cylinder and a blocking block. When the vacuum table 100 enters the bagging station 200, the cylinder controls the blocking block to block the vacuum table 100, and the vacuum table 100 stops moving. When the bagging is completed, it is released by manual triggering, and the vacuum table 100 is released by the cylinder-controlled blocking block. The vacuum table 100 is continued to be transported to the vacuum station 300 by the circulating conveying line 500.
[0017] Reference Figure 3 , the vacuum station 300 is used to vacuum and seal the VIP board 10 on the vacuum table 100; Specifically, at vacuum station 300, the entire vacuum platen 100 is placed onto the vacuum rack of vacuum equipment 320. After all layers are placed (because the vacuum platen 100 is placed directly onto the vacuum rack without being removed from the vacuum equipment, there is no need to push the vacuum rack into the vacuum equipment), vacuum equipment 320 is activated, and the equipment door automatically closes to begin vacuuming and sealing the VIP panels 10 on the vacuum platen 100. After the vacuuming and sealing process is completed, the equipment door automatically opens, and the entire vacuum platen 100 is removed and placed on the circulating conveyor line 500, which then transports the vacuum platen 100 to the next-line station 400. The vacuum equipment 320 is an existing vacuum machine, and its specific structure and operating principle are well known and therefore will not be described in detail here. The vacuum equipment 320 can be configured as a commercially available product. Of course, those skilled in the art can also make routine improvements based on existing products.
[0018] Reference Figure 4 The offline station 400 is used to remove all vacuumed VIP panels 10 from the vacuum table 100; Specifically, the vacuum table 100 stops moving when it reaches the offline station 400. After all the vacuumed VIP boards 10 on the vacuum table 100 are removed, the empty vacuum table 100 with the VIP boards 10 removed is transported back to the bagging station 200 by the circulating conveyor line 500 to enter the next cycle.
[0019] Reference Figure 1 、 Figures 5 to 7 , the circulating conveyor line 500 is used to move the vacuum table 100 between the bagging station 200, the vacuum station 300 and the offline station 400; Specifically, the vacuum table 100 is circulated and transported through the circulatory conveying line 500 to achieve the recycling of the vacuum table 100.
[0020] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 The transfer lifting mechanism 600 is set at the corner of the circular conveying line 500. The transfer lifting mechanism 600 is used to transfer the vacuum table 100 from one direction to another direction to realize the circular conveying of the vacuum table 100.
[0021] Specifically, in this embodiment, the circulating conveying line 500 is arranged in a square shape, and the number of transfer lifting mechanisms 600 is 4, which are respectively located at the four corners of the circulating conveying line 500, and transfer the vacuum table 100 from horizontal conveying to vertical conveying or transfer the vacuum table 100 from vertical conveying to horizontal conveying, so as to realize the circulating conveyance of the vacuum table 100.
[0022] In this embodiment, the VIP board automatic vacuum system also includes a control system (not shown in the figure). All actions in this system are controlled by the control system program and completed automatically. The control system includes sensors for each workstation, etc. A position sensor for position detection of a vacuum table 100 is set at the end of each workstation, and the power start and stop of each workstation is controlled according to the sensor signal. The control system establishes a conveyor line table sequence according to the sensor signal and determines the status of the VIP board 10 on the vacuum table 100, and controls the movement of the robot according to the status of the vacuum table 100 and the current status of the VIP board 10 on the vacuum table 100.
[0023] Specifically, the bagging is completed and the release is manually triggered, and the vacuum table 100 continues to be transported through the circular conveyor line 500. The status of the VIP board 10 on the current vacuum table 100 is that bagging is completed. The subsequent vacuum table 100 is operated in the same way to generate a table sequence from the bagging station 200 to the vacuum station 300.
[0024] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 In this embodiment, the vacuum platen 100 includes a platen plane 110 and a heat sealing knife 120; The table plane 110 is used to place the VIP board 10; Heat sealing knives 120 are installed on both sides of the table plane 110. The heat sealing knives 120 are used for sealing the VIP board 10 after vacuuming.
[0025] Specifically, heat sealing knives 120 are installed on both sides of the top of the table plane 110. At the bagging station 200, after the operator completes the production of the VIP board 10, the film bag opening of the VIP board 10 is placed on the heat sealing knife 120 of the vacuum table 100 to ensure the sealing length of the sealed film bag. When the vacuum table 100 enters the vacuum equipment 320, the vacuum is completed, and the heat sealing knife of the vacuum equipment 320 and the heat sealing knife 120 of the vacuum table 100 press the film bag opening for heating to achieve the sealing operation.
[0026] V-shaped rails 130 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the vacuum table 100. The V-shaped rails 130 are arranged in the width direction of the vacuum table 100. The length direction of the V-shaped rails 130 is perpendicular to the length direction of the heat sealing knife 120. The V-shaped rails 130 can cooperate with the circulating conveyor line 500 for lateral conveyance and process guidance of the vacuum table 100. When the vacuum table 100 is in longitudinal conveyance, the circulating conveyor line 500 can directly drive the bottom of the vacuum table 100 in a planar manner. The length of the V-shaped rails 130 is shorter than the width of the vacuum table 100. Therefore, when the vacuum table 100 is placed in the vacuum rack of the vacuum equipment 320, the contact surface between the bottom of the vacuum table 100 and the vacuum rack is flat, which can achieve stable placement of the vacuum table 100; in this embodiment, the width direction of the vacuum table 100 is set horizontally; the length direction of the heat sealing knife 120 is set vertically.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 7 and Figure 11 , in this embodiment, the vacuum station 300 includes a mounting robot 310 and a vacuum device 320; The loading robot 310 is used to place the vacuum table 100 with the VIP board 10 mounted thereon into the vacuum equipment 320; The vacuum equipment 320 is used to vacuum and seal the VIP plate 10 on the vacuum platen 100 .
[0028] Specifically, one loading robot 310 corresponds to one vacuum device 320 to complete the actions of loading and unloading the vacuum platen 100 ; in this embodiment, there are two loading robots 310 and two vacuum devices 320 .
[0029] When the vacuum table 100 arrives at the vacuum station 300 and passes the first loading robot 310, the control system determines the status of the VIP board 10 on the vacuum table 100 according to the table sequence. If the status of the VIP board 10 is bagged, the loading robot 310 removes the vacuum table 100 and places it in the vacuum equipment 320 for vacuum and sealing operations. After the vacuum is completed, the loading robot 310 takes out the vacuum table 100 and places it on the circulating conveyor line 500. The table sequence detects that the vacuum table 100 is inserted there and the status of the VIP board 10 is vacuum completed. Then, the vacuum table 100 passes through the vacuum station 300. When the circulating conveyor line 500 conveys through the second loading robot 310, the control system controls the conveying and loading robot 310 to release or remove the vacuum table 100 and place it in the vacuum equipment 320 according to the status of the VIP board 10 on the current workstation vacuum table 100; when the vacuum table 100 passes through the first loading robot 310, the control system determines whether to place the vacuum table 100 to be vacuumed into the second vacuum equipment 320 for vacuuming according to the status of the vacuum equipment 320 of the current vacuum workstation 300 (vacuum operation or idle waiting for vacuum) and the status of the subsequent vacuum equipment 320.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 11 In this embodiment, the installation robot 310 includes an installation robot arm 311 and a fork 312; A fork 312 is connected to the end of the loading robot arm 311 , and the loading robot arm 311 places the vacuum table 100 with the VIP board 10 mounted thereon into the vacuum equipment 320 via the fork 312 .
[0031] Specifically, the specific structure and operating principle of the loading robot arm 311 are common knowledge and will not be described in detail here. The loading robot arm 311 can be configured as a commercially available product. Of course, those skilled in the art can also make routine improvements based on existing products. The vacuum table 100 is picked up by the fork 312, specifically by extending the fork 312 under the vacuum table 100 and supporting and transferring the vacuum table 100.
[0032] The vacuum table 100 is removed by the fork 312 at the end of the loading robot 311 and placed on the vacuum rack of the vacuum equipment 320. After all layers are placed, the vacuum equipment 320 is started, and the vacuum equipment 320 automatically closes the equipment door to start vacuuming and sealing the VIP board 10 on the vacuum table 100. After the vacuum and sealing process is completed, the equipment door is automatically opened, and then the vacuum table 100 is taken out by the fork 312 at the end of the loading robot 311 and placed on the circulating conveyor line 500, which then continues to transport the vacuum table 100 to the offline workstation 400.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the offline station 400 includes an offline robot 410 and a tray 420; The offline robot 410 is used to remove all vacuumed VIP panels 10 from the vacuum table 100 and place them on the tray 420 .
[0034] Specifically, the offline robot 410 only needs to complete the action of taking the VIP board 10; the vacuumized VIP board 10 is carried by the pallet 420 to facilitate subsequent forklift transportation.
[0035] Reference Figure 4 In this embodiment, the offline robot 410 includes an offline robot arm 411 and a vacuum suction cup 412; The end of the offline robot arm 411 is connected to a vacuum suction cup 412 . The offline robot arm 411 removes all the vacuumed VIP panels 10 on the vacuum table 100 through the vacuum suction cup 412 and places them on the tray 420 .
[0036] Specifically, the specific structure and operating principle of the off-line robot arm 411 are common knowledge and will not be described in detail here. The off-line robot arm 411 can be configured as a commercially available product. Of course, those skilled in the art can also make routine improvements based on existing products. The vacuum suction cup 412 adopts a self-closing small hole suction cup to accommodate the off-line of VIP panels 10 of different specifications.
[0037] The vacuum suction cup 412 at the end of the offline robot arm 411 removes all the vacuumed VIP panels 10 on the vacuum table 100 and places them on the tray 420, realizing the automatic offline of the VIP panels 10. The empty vacuum table 100 is transported back to the bagging station 200 by the circulating conveyor line 500 to enter the next cycle.
[0038] In this embodiment, all vacuum table plates 100 stop when they reach the offline workstation 400. The control system controls the offline robot 410 to remove the VIP board 10 and release it. The table plate sequence detects that the current vacuum table plate 100 is updated to empty and enters the next cycle.

In this embodiment, the first longitudinal conveying wheels 522 directly contact the bottom of the vacuum table 100 with friction to drive the vacuum table 100 to move; the provision of the first guide strips 523 ensures that the vacuum table 100 runs along the axis without deviation.
[0042] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 8 The horizontal conveying line 510 includes a first horizontal frame 511 and a first horizontal conveying wheel 512.

The longitudinal lifting assembly 620 can cooperate with the longitudinal conveying line 520. The longitudinal lifting assembly 620 is used to transfer the vacuum table 100 from the transverse conveying line 510 to the longitudinal conveying line 520 or to transfer the vacuum table 100 from the longitudinal conveying line 520 to the transverse conveying line 510.
[0044] Specifically, the longitudinal lifting assembly 620 can be lifted and lowered; when the vacuum table 100 enters the transverse conveying assembly 610 from the transverse conveying line 510, the longitudinal lifting assembly 620 is lowered to the lowest position, so that the vacuum table 100 enters the transverse conveying assembly 610. After the vacuum table 100 is completely inserted, the longitudinal lifting assembly 620 is raised to the highest position, so that the longitudinal lifting assembly 620 is at the same height as the longitudinal conveying line 520. During the lifting process, the longitudinal lifting assembly 620 separates the vacuum table 100 from the transverse conveying assembly 610, and the vacuum table 100 is transferred to the longitudinal conveying line 520 by the longitudinal lifting assembly 620, so that the vacuum table 100 is lifted and lowered. 00 transfer from the horizontal conveying line 510 to the longitudinal conveying line 520; when the vacuum table 100 enters the longitudinal lifting assembly 620 from the longitudinal conveying line 520, the longitudinal lifting assembly 620 is at the same height as the longitudinal conveying line 520.

During the lowering process, the vacuum table 100 contacts and is supported by the transverse conveying assembly 610. The vacuum table 100 is transferred to the transverse conveying line 510 by the transverse conveying assembly 610, thereby realizing the transfer of the vacuum table 100 from the longitudinal conveying line 520 to the transverse conveying line 510.

[0049] A plurality of second longitudinal conveying wheels 623 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the top of the longitudinal lifting frame 621 . The second longitudinal conveying wheels 623 are used to convey the vacuum table 100 longitudinally.
[0050] Specifically, the second longitudinal conveying wheel 623 is the same as the first longitudinal conveying wheel 522; second guide bars 625 are installed on both sides of the top of the longitudinal lifting frame 621, located outside the second longitudinal conveying wheel 623, and the second guide bar 625 can be connected to the first guide bar 523; in this embodiment, the first guide bar 523 and the second guide bar 625 are both provided with inclined guides at the connection point to reduce the collision of the vacuum table 100 with the first guide bar 523 or the second guide bar 625 when entering the longitudinal conveying line 520 or entering the longitudinal lifting assembly 620.
[0051] Reference Figure 8 When the vacuum table 100 enters the second transverse conveying wheel 612 of the transverse conveying assembly 610 from the first transverse conveying wheel 512 of the transverse conveying line 510, the longitudinal lifting frame 621 is driven to the lowest position by the telescopic member 622, so that the vacuum table 100 enters the second transverse conveying wheel 612 without interfering with the longitudinal lifting frame 621 and its second guide bar 625. After the vacuum table 100 is completely entered, the first transverse conveying wheel 512 and the second transverse conveying wheel 612 on this side stop, and the longitudinal lifting frame 621 is driven by the telescopic member 622. The frame 621 is raised to the highest position, so that the longitudinal lifting frame 621 is at the same height as the longitudinal frame 521 and the second guide bar 625 is docked with the first guide bar 523. During the lifting process, the second longitudinal conveying wheel 623 contacts the bottom surface of the vacuum table 100 and lifts the vacuum table 100, so that the vacuum table 100 is separated from the second transverse conveying wheel 612. Then, the second longitudinal conveying wheel 623 drives the vacuum table 100 to enter the first longitudinal conveying wheel 522, realizing the transfer of the vacuum table 100 from the transverse conveying line 510 to the longitudinal conveying line 520.
[0052] Reference Figure 8 When the vacuum table 100 enters the longitudinal lifting frame 621 of the longitudinal lifting assembly 620 from the first longitudinal conveying wheel 522 of the longitudinal conveying line 520, the longitudinal lifting frame 621 is at the same height as the longitudinal frame 521 and the second guide bar 625 is docked with the first guide bar 523. After the vacuum table 100 is completely inserted, the first longitudinal conveying wheel 522 and the second longitudinal conveying wheel 623 on this side stop, and the longitudinal lifting frame 621 is driven to the lowest position by the telescopic member 622. During the lowering process, the V-shaped track 130 of the vacuum table 100 cooperates with the second transverse conveying wheel 612 of the transverse conveying assembly 610, and the vacuum table 100 is supported by the second transverse conveying wheel 612. Then, the second transverse conveying wheel 612 drives the vacuum table 100 into the first transverse conveying wheel 512, realizing the transfer of the vacuum table 100 from the longitudinal conveying line 520 to the transverse conveying line 510.
[0053] Working principle: When in use, it consists of the following steps: Bagging: When the vacuum table 100 is transported to the bagging station 200 by the first longitudinal conveying wheel 522, the vacuum table 100 stops moving. The operator places the film bag on the vacuum table 100, and then puts the core material and getter into the film bag to complete the production of the VIP panel 10. At this time, the film bag opening of the VIP panel 10 is in an unsealed state. The film bag opening of the VIP panel 10 is placed on the heat sealing knife 120 of the vacuum table 100 to ensure the sealing length of the film bag. When bagging is completed, it is manually triggered and released, and the vacuum table 100 is further transported to the vacuum station 300 by the first longitudinal conveying wheel 522; Vacuum and sealing operation: When the vacuum table 100 is transported to the vacuum station 300 by the first transverse conveying wheel 512, the vacuum table 100 is removed by the fork 312 at the end of the loading robot 311 and placed on the vacuum rack of the vacuum equipment 320. After all layers are placed, the vacuum equipment 320 is started, and the equipment door of the vacuum equipment 320 automatically closes to start vacuuming and sealing the VIP board 10 on the vacuum table 100. After the vacuum and sealing process is completed, the equipment door is automatically opened, and the vacuum table 100 is removed by the fork 312 at the end of the loading robot 311 and placed on the first transverse conveying wheel 512. The first transverse conveying wheel 512 then continues to transport the vacuum table 100 to the offline station 400. Offline operation: When the vacuum table 100 is transported to the off-line station 400 by the first longitudinal conveying wheel 522, the vacuum table 100 stops moving, and the vacuum suction cup 412 at the end of the off-line robot arm 411 removes all the vacuumed VIP boards 10 on the vacuum table 100 and places them on the tray 420, realizing the automatic off-line of the VIP boards 10. The empty vacuum table 100 is transported back to the bagging station 200 by the circulating conveyor line 500 to enter the next cycle.
