Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ceramic tile production technology, specifically to a ceramic tile conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Ceramic floor tiles, as a fundamental material in the building decoration field, require multiple core processes in their production, including raw material preparation, pressing and molding, high-temperature firing, surface polishing, and quality inspection. Because ceramic floor tiles are somewhat brittle after molding, and the production process often employs a continuous assembly line operation, the conveyor system, as a key piece of equipment connecting each production step, directly impacts the production efficiency and finished product qualification rate. In actual production, the conveyor system must ensure smooth transfer, precise positioning, and orderly connection of the floor tiles to meet the stringent requirements for tile posture in subsequent polishing and sorting processes.

[0003] Currently, due to the advantages of belt conveyors, such as a flat conveying surface and minimal damage to the surface of floor tiles, ceramic floor tile blanks are usually transported and processed using belt conveyors after production. Existing belt conveyor devices typically consist of a drive motor, a drive roller, a driven roller, and a conveyor belt. The drive motor drives the drive roller to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt to circulate and achieve continuous transport of floor tiles. However, when using existing conveying equipment, it is usually necessary to manually place stacks of floor tiles onto the conveyor belt.

[0004] In addition, some conveying equipment has an inclined conveyor belt at the feeding end for feeding, allowing vertically placed brick blanks to be directly tilted onto the inclined conveyor belt, facilitating brick blank feeding and conveying and reducing labor costs. Referring to Chinese patent document CN110980118A, entitled "A Production Device for Building Tiles," it includes a feeding section and a conveying section mounted on a track; the feeding section is located above one side of the conveying section, and the tiles conveyed by the feeding section fall onto the conveying section, and are then conveyed to an automatically stacked picking section; the conveying section includes multiple conveying rollers supported on a frame, with a conveyor belt wound around the rollers; tiles conveyed to the bottom of the inclined side of the conveyor belt are pushed onto the picking section by a pushing component. This solution can automatically deliver the produced tiles to the picking section, reducing labor costs and improving production efficiency.

[0005] While the above technical solutions optimize the ease of tile handling, several technical shortcomings remain to be addressed in practical applications. When tiles are conveyed to the transition point between the inclined and horizontal conveyor belts, the centerline of the stacked tiles crosses the centerline of the transition section. One end of the tile along the conveying direction loses support and falls under gravity, causing a hard impact between the tile and the conveyor belt surface. Furthermore, because the tiles are stacked, the impact of the fall further triggers collisions between adjacent tiles, easily leading to breakage and severely impacting the quality of the finished product. To address this transition section collision problem, existing technologies typically extend the conveying distance of the inclined section as much as possible while maintaining a consistent conveying height, thus reducing the impact of height differences on tile conveying stability. However, this approach increases the overall footprint of the equipment, placing higher demands on the production workshop layout. Moreover, long-distance conveyor belts require extremely high straightness precision during installation, increasing installation difficulty and cost, and making the conveyor belt prone to deviation due to installation errors, further affecting conveying stability. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, this application provides a conveying device for ceramic floor tiles, which solves the problem of ceramic floor tiles being bumped and broken during the conveying process due to the angle of the conveyor belt.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a conveying device for ceramic floor tiles, including a first belt conveyor and a second belt conveyor. The second belt conveyor is inclined. An adjusting frame is rotatably connected to the drive shaft at the connection between the first and second belt conveyors. A support roller is rotatably connected to the left side of the adjusting frame. The support roller is arranged in a linear array. Two grooved plates are provided on the right side of the adjusting frame. Rollers are rotatably connected inside each grooved plate. The rollers abut against the inner wall of the conveyor belt inside the second belt conveyor. A damping mechanism is provided inside the second belt conveyor. The damping mechanism includes a lever and a hydraulic damper hinged inside the second belt conveyor. The lever and the hydraulic damper are V-shaped. The lower ends of the lever and the hydraulic damper are rotatably connected to the adjusting roller. The adjusting roller is driven by the conveyor belt inside the second belt conveyor.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the ceramic floor tile moves to the transition stage between the first and second belt conveyors, the adjusting frame is tilted at the same angle as the second belt conveyor, and the ceramic floor tile first contacts the left support roller of the adjusting frame, so that the floor tile obtains stable support before the transition, avoiding the imbalance of the center of gravity caused by the initial contact point offset, and laying the foundation for a smooth transition thereafter; when the center of gravity of the ceramic floor tile passes the axis at the connection between the first and second belt conveyors, the pressure on the left side of the ceramic floor tile increases, and under the action of pressure, the adjusting frame slowly tilts to the left until it is in contact with the first belt conveyor. The conveyor belt is horizontal. During this process, the pressure difference guides the adjusting frame to rotate adaptively, avoiding the floor tiles from being subjected to hard external forces during the transition, and effectively reducing the impact and collision between the floor tiles and the conveyor. When the adjusting frame rotates, the grooved plate on the right side and the rollers cause the conveyor belt to deform, ensuring that the conveyor belt always fits in contact with the bottom surface of the floor tiles, preventing the floor tiles from shaking due to the bottom surface being suspended. At the same time, the deformation of the conveyor belt drives the adjusting roller to move, causing the lever to drive the hydraulic damper to compress. The damping force slows down the tilting speed of the adjusting frame, preventing the floor tiles from falling rapidly due to gravity imbalance, and ultimately greatly reducing the probability of floor tile breakage during the conveying process.

[0009] Optionally, the second belt conveyor is provided with a support assembly inside, which is used to support the conveyor belt inside the second belt conveyor.

[0010] Optionally, the support assembly includes T-shaped rods disposed inside the second belt conveyor, with crossbeams slidably connected between two corresponding T-shaped rods, and a second roller frame disposed between the two crossbeams, with the two second roller frames respectively abutting against the inner wall of the conveyor belt on the same side inside the second belt conveyor.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the movable crossbeam can provide different support for the second belt conveyor in different scenarios. When ceramic tiles are being fed, the second roller frame separates from the conveyor belt on the same side inside the second belt conveyor. At this time, the second belt conveyor can buffer the feeding of ceramic tiles, greatly reducing the impact when feeding ceramic tiles. When conveying ceramic tiles, the second roller frame can provide rigid support for the second belt conveyor, ensuring the stable conveying of ceramic tiles.

[0012] Optionally, each of the T-shaped rods is fitted with a spring at its bottom, and the upper end of each spring abuts against the crossbeam.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the spring can provide elastic support for the crossbeam and the structure connected to its upper end, buffer the deformation of the second belt conveyor caused by the force, and drive the crossbeam and its upper end structure to reset after being subjected to force, thus ensuring the reliability of the support components for repeated use.

[0014] Optionally, the second belt conveyor has a connecting rod hinged inside, with the upper end of the connecting rod hinged to the left end of the support rod, and a cylinder hinged inside the second belt conveyor, with the telescopic end of the cylinder hinged to the middle of the support rod.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the cylinder can drive the support rod to move. Under the guiding and limiting action of the connecting rod, the support rod can always maintain a parallel posture with the second roller frame, which makes it easy to flexibly switch the support state of the crossbeam and its upper structure on the conveyor belt and adapt to different operating requirements.

[0016] Optionally, the second belt conveyor has a feeding bracket rotatably connected to its right internal end, the right end of the support rod is hinged to the middle of the feeding bracket, and the connecting rod is arranged parallel to the left side of the feeding bracket.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, it is not only convenient to stack ceramic tiles before conveying, but also to provide structural adaptability for the automatic feeding and conveying of ceramic tiles, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of the feeding process.

[0018] Optionally, the outer side of each groove plate is provided with a limiting shaft, and the outer side of each of the second roller frames is provided with a limiting rod that can abut against the limiting shaft.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the maximum swing position of the adjusting frame can be limited, avoiding excessive swing of the adjusting frame from affecting the conveying stability. At the same time, it is beneficial to maintain the conveying posture of ceramic floor tiles on the second belt conveyor, ensuring a smooth conveying process.

[0020] Optionally, the first belt conveyor is internally fixed with bolts and two fixed rods are directly equipped with first roller frames. The two first roller frames abut against the inner wall of the conveyor belt on the same side of the first belt conveyor, which can provide stable support for the conveyor belt inside the first belt conveyor.

[0021] Optionally, the outer ends of the support rollers are rotatably connected to the mounting holes corresponding to the left side of the adjusting frame via one-way bearings.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the one-way bearing can prevent the support roller from rotating in the opposite direction, thereby greatly reducing the probability of the ceramic floor tile sliding to the right during transition.

[0023] Optionally, a rubber sleeve is fixedly fitted on the outer side of each support roller.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber sleeve can increase the friction between the support roller and the ceramic floor tile.

[0025] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. When the ceramic tiles rotate with the feeding support until they come into contact with the second belt conveyor, the damping effect of the hydraulic damper, in conjunction with the spring on the T-shaped rod, can effectively absorb the impact of the tiles' weight on the conveyor belt, preventing direct rigid collision between the ceramic tiles and the conveyor belt. When the adjusting frame rotates, the deformation of the conveyor belt causes the adjusting roller to shift, which in turn pushes the lever to rotate and compresses the hydraulic damper. The reverse damping force generated by the hydraulic damper can effectively slow down the tilting speed of the adjusting frame, preventing the tiles from falling and impacting due to the rapid tilting of the adjusting frame; further reducing the probability of tile breakage during the transition stage of conveying, improving the safety and pass rate of the tile conveying process, and effectively reducing the probability of collisions during tile transfer.

[0026] 2. The initial state of the adjusting frame is consistent with the tilt angle of the second belt conveyor, which can ensure stable load-bearing before the transition of the floor tiles. When the center of gravity of the floor tile passes the axis of the connection between the two belt conveyors, the adjusting frame can gradually tilt around the hinge point with the pressure difference to be horizontal with the first belt conveyor. At the same time, the conveyor belt is driven to adapt to deformation through the groove plate and rollers, so that the conveyor belt always fits the bottom surface of the floor tile, avoiding the floor tile from shaking or slipping during the transition. This achieves a seamless and smooth transfer from the second belt conveyor to the first belt conveyor, improving the continuity of the overall conveying process.

[0027] 3. When the cylinder drives the support rod to reset, the spring force can make the support rod and the crossbeam fit tightly together, driving the second roller frame to reset upward along the T-shaped rod and form a rigid support; and the outer limit shaft of the groove plate and the outer limit rod of the second roller frame can accurately abut against each other, which can ensure that the second roller frame and the groove plate are aligned, so that the conveyor belt always remains flat, avoiding the displacement and tipping of the floor tiles due to the deformation of the conveyor belt, providing a stable bearing foundation for the continuous conveying of floor tiles and reducing conveying failures.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the following will be combined with the embodiments of this application. Figures 1-7 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are clearly and completely described herein. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 7 This embodiment provides a ceramic tile conveying device, including a first belt conveyor 1, a second belt conveyor 2, a transition mechanism, a damping mechanism 4, and a feeding mechanism. The first belt conveyor 1 is horizontally arranged for horizontal conveying of ceramic tiles. The second belt conveyor 2 is located to the right of the first belt conveyor 1 and is inclined to facilitate the feeding of ceramic tiles. The first belt conveyor 1 and the second belt conveyor 2 share a drive motor. The operation of the drive motor enables the first belt conveyor 1 and the second belt conveyor 2 to work synchronously to convey ceramic tiles.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The transition mechanism includes an adjusting frame 3, support rollers 31, grooved plates 32, and rollers 321. The adjusting frame 3 is rotatably connected to the drive shaft at the connection between the first belt conveyor 1 and the second belt conveyor 2. The ends of the support rollers 31 are rotatably connected to the corresponding mounting holes on the left side of the adjusting frame 3 through one-way bearings 311. The support rollers 31 are arranged in a linear array. Rubber sleeves 312 are fixedly fitted on the outer side of each support roller 31. The rubber sleeves 312 can increase the friction between the support rollers 31 and the ceramic tiles. At the same time, the one-way bearings 311 can prevent the support rollers 31 from rotating in the opposite direction, thereby greatly reducing the probability of the ceramic tiles sliding to the right during the transition. The grooved plates 32 are located on the right side of the adjusting frame 3. Rollers 321 are rotatably connected at equal intervals inside the two grooved plates 32. The rollers 321 abut against the inner wall of the conveyor belt inside the second belt conveyor 2.

[0033] Reference Figure 2and Figure 5 The damping mechanism 4 includes a lever 41 and a hydraulic damper 42. The lever 41 and the hydraulic damper 42 are both hinged inside the second belt conveyor 2. The lever 41 and the hydraulic damper 42 are arranged in a V-shape. The lower ends of the lever 41 and the hydraulic damper 42 are rotatably connected to the adjusting roller 43. The adjusting roller 43 is connected to the conveyor belt inside the second belt conveyor 2.

[0034] During the conveying of ceramic floor tiles at the transition position between the first belt conveyor 1 and the second belt conveyor 2, the initial state of the adjusting frame 3 is at the same tilt angle as the second belt conveyor 2. When the stacked ceramic floor tiles are conveyed to this transition position by the second belt conveyor 2, the ceramic floor tiles first contact the support roller 31 on the left side of the adjusting frame 3. As the ceramic floor tiles continue to be conveyed, the center of gravity of the ceramic floor tiles gradually passes the axis at the connection between the first belt conveyor 1 and the second belt conveyor 2. At this time, the pressure of the floor tiles on the left side of the adjusting frame 3 gradually increases. Driven by this pressure, the adjusting frame 3 gradually tilts to the left around its own rotation fulcrum until it rotates to a state completely horizontal with the first belt conveyor 1, thereby realizing the smooth acceptance and transition of ceramic floor tiles from the second belt conveyor 2 to the first belt conveyor 1.

[0035] As the adjusting frame 3 begins to rotate to the left, the grooved plate 32 on the right side of the adjusting frame 3 rotates synchronously with the adjusting frame 3. The roller 321 on the inner side of the grooved plate 32 comes into contact with the surface of the conveyor belt inside the second belt conveyor 2 and generates a pushing action. This pushing action causes the conveyor belt inside the second belt conveyor 2 to undergo adaptive deformation (see reference). Figure 6 The deformation process always follows the displacement trajectory of the bottom surface of the floor tile, ensuring that the conveyor belt and the bottom surface of the floor tile remain in contact throughout the process. This prevents the floor tile from being suspended or shaking due to intermittent support of the bottom surface, thus maintaining the positional stability of the floor tile during the conveying process and preventing the upper floor tile from slipping due to the unstable support of the lower floor tile. While the conveyor belt inside the second belt conveyor 2 deforms, the adjusting roller 43 is displaced, causing the lever 41 and the hydraulic damper 42 to rotate. At the same time, the hydraulic damper 42 is compressed, which can provide damping force for the deformation of the conveyor belt inside the second belt conveyor 2. This gives the rotation of the adjusting frame 3 a certain damping force, which can effectively prevent the ceramic floor tile from falling rapidly on one side due to gravity imbalance when transitioning from the second belt conveyor 2 to the first belt conveyor 1, thus greatly reducing the probability of the ceramic floor tile breaking during the conveying process.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5The feeding mechanism includes a feeding bracket 9, a connecting rod 6, a support rod 7, a cylinder 8, and a support assembly 5. The feeding bracket 9 is rotatably connected to the right end of the interior of the second belt conveyor 2. The connecting rod 6 is hinged to the interior of the second belt conveyor 2. The left end of the support rod 7 is hinged to the end of the connecting rod 6. The cylinder 8 is hinged to the interior of the second belt conveyor 2. The telescopic end of the cylinder 8 is hinged to the middle of the support rod 7. The right end of the support rod 7 is hinged to the middle of the feeding bracket 9. The connecting rod 6 is parallel to the left side of the feeding bracket 9. The distance between the hinge points at the upper and lower ends of the connecting rod 6 is equal to the distance between the hinge points at the upper and lower ends of the feeding bracket 9. The line connecting the two hinge points of the connecting rod 6 and the two hinge points of the feeding bracket 9 can form a parallelogram. The support assembly 5 is located inside the second belt conveyor 2 and is used to support the conveyor belt inside the second belt conveyor 2.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The support assembly 5 includes a T-shaped rod 51, a crossbeam 52, and a second roller frame 53. The T-shaped rod 51 is mounted on the frame of the second belt conveyor 2. The front and rear ends of the crossbeam 52 are slidably connected to the corresponding T-shaped rod 51 on the same side. The left and right ends of the second roller frame 53 are fixedly connected to the corresponding crossbeam 52 on the same side. The two second roller frames 53 abut against the inner wall of the conveyor belt on the same side inside the second belt conveyor 2. The support rod 7 can abut against the bottom surface of the two crossbeams 52. The bottom of each T-shaped rod 51 is fitted with a spring 511, and the upper end of each spring 511 abuts against the crossbeam 52.

[0038] In the initial stage of ceramic tile conveying, the operator vertically stacks the ceramic tiles to be conveyed onto the designated bearing area of ​​the feeding bracket 9. At this time, the ceramic tiles are tilted to the left at a certain angle to ensure that the stacked ceramic tiles are stable and in contact with the bearing surface of the bracket. Subsequently, the cylinder 8 is activated and outputs driving force to move the support rod 7. Since the distance between the hinge points at the upper and lower ends of the connecting rod 6 is equal to the distance between the hinge points at the upper and lower ends of the feeding bracket 9, the lines connecting the two hinge points of the connecting rod 6 and the two hinge points of the feeding bracket 9 can form a parallelogram. As the cylinder 8... The operation allows the support rod 7 to move downwards, while simultaneously causing the feeding bracket 9 to rotate smoothly counterclockwise around its bottom hinge point. During this rotation, the ceramic tiles stacked on the feeding bracket 9 move synchronously with the feeding bracket 9, ultimately transferring the stacked ceramic tiles to the conveying area of ​​the second belt conveyor 2. The second belt conveyor 2 transports the stacked ceramic tiles, completing the batch transfer of tiles without manual handling. This not only reduces the labor intensity of operators but also avoids the possibility of tiles being bumped or knocked during manual transfer.

[0039] As cylinder 8 moves support rod 7 downward, under the guidance of connecting rod 6 and feeding bracket 9, support rod 7 moves downward to the left in an arc trajectory, separating support rod 7 from crossbeam 52. When the stacked ceramic tiles come into contact with the conveyor belt of the second belt conveyor 2, the conveyor belt of the second belt conveyor 2 can undergo a certain deformation under the pressure of the ceramic tiles. This causes hydraulic damper 42 to be compressed, and the second roller frame 53 and crossbeam 52 can slide downward along T-shaped rod 51 a certain distance. Spring 511 is compressed, and hydraulic damper 42 can play a certain buffering and damping role in the feeding of ceramic tiles, thereby effectively avoiding rigid contact between ceramic tiles and the second belt conveyor 2, thus reducing problems such as edge breakage of ceramic tiles and local excessive wear of conveyor belt. At the same time, it reduces the impact of ceramic tiles on the second belt conveyor 2, extends the overall service life of the device, and reduces the rebound that occurs when feeding ceramic tiles, ensuring that the tiles are stacked neatly during feeding and reducing the probability of misalignment during subsequent ceramic tile conveying. After the feeding is completed, the ceramic floor tiles are conveyed to the left a certain distance on the second belt conveyor 2. Then, the cylinder 8 drives the support rod 7 to reset, and the spring 511 resets at the same time, so that the support rod 7 abuts against the crossbeam 52 and the crossbeam 52 resets. At this time, the cylinder 8 fixes the support rod 7, thereby making the second roller frame 53 provide rigid support for the conveyor belt of the second belt conveyor 2. At the same time, the second roller frame 53 is aligned with the groove plate 32, keeping the conveyor belt inside the second belt conveyor 2 flat and making the conveying of ceramic floor tiles more stable. At the same time, the support rod 7 drives the feeding bracket 9 to reset, preparing for the feeding of subsequent batches of ceramic floor tiles. This realizes the continuous operation of the device and effectively improves the overall efficiency of floor tile conveying.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 Each groove plate 32 is provided with a limiting shaft 322 on its outer side, and each second roller frame 53 is provided with a limiting rod 531 on its outer side that can abut against the limiting shaft 322.

[0041] When ceramic floor tiles are conveyed on the second belt conveyor 2, the limiting shaft 322 on the outer side of the groove plate 32 abuts against the limiting rod 531 on the outer side of the second roller frame 53, which can keep the second roller frame 53 aligned with the groove plate 32 and keep the conveyor belt inside the second belt conveyor 2 flat.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first belt conveyor 1 has a fixing rod 101 fixed inside by bolts. The two fixing rods 101 are directly equipped with the first roller frame 102. The two second roller frames 53 respectively abut against the inner wall of the conveyor belt on the same side inside the first belt conveyor 1, which can provide stable support for the conveyor belt inside the first belt conveyor 1.

[0043] When using this application, the operator first vertically stacks the ceramic floor tiles on the feeding bracket 9, then the cylinder 8 drives the support rod 7 to move down and drive the feeding bracket 9 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the ceramic floor tiles are transferred to the second belt conveyor 2; during the feeding process, the hydraulic damper 42 and the spring 511 provide buffering to avoid rigid collision between the ceramic floor tiles and the second belt conveyor 2; after the feeding is completed, the floor tiles are conveyed to the left by the conveyor, and the cylinder 8 drives the support rod 7 to reset; under the action of the spring 511, the support rod 7 abuts against the crossbeam 52 again, and the crossbeam 52 and the second roller frame 53 reset upward along the rod body. After resetting, the second roller frame 53 provides rigid support to the second belt conveyor 2, and the outer limiting shaft 322 abuts against the limiting rod 531 to ensure positional alignment. When the support rod 7 resets, it simultaneously drives the feeding bracket 9 to rotate clockwise to reset. During the conveying of floor tiles, the adjusting frame 3 can automatically tilt according to the change of center of gravity, realizing a smooth transition of ceramic floor tiles to the first belt conveyor 1. At the same time, the deformation of the conveyor belt drives the adjusting roller 43 and the lever 41 to move, and the compressed hydraulic damper 42 provides damping for the rotation of the adjusting frame 3, slowing down the tilting speed, preventing the floor tiles from falling and impacting, and reducing the risk of breakage. The deformation of the conveyor belt inside the second belt conveyor 2 can ensure that the conveyor belt and the bottom surface of the floor tiles remain in contact throughout the process, avoiding the floor tiles from being suspended or shaking due to the intermittent support of the bottom surface, thereby maintaining the positional stability of the floor tiles during the conveying process. This realizes automatic feeding, buffer protection, and stable conveying of ceramic floor tiles.

[0044] The implementation principle of the ceramic floor tile conveying device in this application embodiment is as follows: During loading, the ceramic tiles are first stacked vertically on the loading bracket 9. Then, the cylinder 8 is started, which moves the support rod 7 downward and pulls the loading bracket 9 to rotate counterclockwise around the hinge point through the support rod 7. This allows the ceramic tiles stacked on the loading bracket 9 to be transferred synchronously to the upper surface of the second belt conveyor 2. Finally, the stacked ceramic tiles are transported to the second belt conveyor 2. During this process, while the cylinder 8 drives the support rod 7 to move downward, under the guiding constraint of the connecting rod 6, the support rod 7 always maintains a parallel posture with the second roller frame 53 and moves to the lower left in an arc trajectory, thereby achieving the separation of the support rod 7 from the crossbeam 52. When the stacked ceramic tiles rotate with the feeding bracket 9 to contact the conveyor belt of the second belt conveyor 2, the weight of the ceramic tiles themselves will exert pressure on the conveyor belt, causing the conveyor belt to deform to a certain extent. At the same time, the hydraulic damper 42 associated with the conveyor belt is compressed, and the second roller frame 53 and the crossbeam 52 can slide down a certain distance along the T-shaped rod 51, and the spring 511 on the T-shaped rod 51 is compressed simultaneously. Through the damping effect of the hydraulic damper 42 and the elastic buffering effect of the spring 511, the feeding process of the ceramic tiles is provided with buffer protection to avoid rigid collision between the tiles and the conveyor belt.

[0045] After the feeding action is completed, the ceramic floor tiles are conveyed to the left a certain distance by the second belt conveyor 2. At this time, the cylinder 8 drives the support rod 7 to reset. Under the elastic force of the spring 511, the support rod 7 abuts against the crossbeam 52 again, and the crossbeam 52 drives the second roller frame 53 to reset upward along the T-shaped rod 51. After resetting, the second roller frame 53 provides rigid support for the conveyor belt of the second belt conveyor 2. The limiting shaft 322 on the outside of the groove plate 32 abuts against the limiting rod 531 on the outside of the second roller frame 53, ensuring that the second roller frame 53 and the groove plate 32 are aligned. This ensures that the conveyor belt inside the second belt conveyor 2 always remains flat, providing stable conditions for subsequent floor tile conveying. In addition, during the resetting process, the support rod 7 simultaneously drives the feeding bracket 9 to rotate clockwise to reset, so as to carry out the feeding operation of the next batch of ceramic floor tiles.

[0046] When the stacked ceramic floor tiles are conveyed by the second belt conveyor 2 to the transition position between the first belt conveyor 1 and the second belt conveyor 2, the initial state of the adjusting frame 3 is consistent with the tilt angle of the second belt conveyor 2 to ensure that the floor tiles are stably supported before the transition. As the ceramic tiles continue to be conveyed, when the center of gravity of the ceramic tiles passes the axis at the connection between the first belt conveyor 1 and the second belt conveyor 2, the pressure on the left side of the ceramic tiles (the side closer to the first belt conveyor 1) gradually becomes greater than the pressure on the right side. Under the action of this pressure difference, the adjusting frame 3 gradually tilts to the left around its own hinge point until the adjusting frame 3 rotates to a position that is level with the first belt conveyor 1. At this time, the ceramic tiles are smoothly transferred to the first belt conveyor 1, completing the stable transition from the second belt conveyor 2 to the first belt conveyor 1.

[0047] When the adjusting frame 3 starts to rotate to the left, the grooved plate 32 connected to the right side of the adjusting frame 3 moves synchronously with the roller 321, causing the conveyor belt inside the second belt conveyor 2 to undergo adaptive deformation, so that the conveyor belt can always maintain close contact with the bottom surface of the ceramic floor tile, ensuring the support stability during the floor tile conveying process.

[0048] Meanwhile, when the conveyor belt inside the second belt conveyor 2 deforms, it will cause the associated adjusting roller 43 to move. During the displacement of the adjusting roller 43, it will push the lever 41 to rotate. The lever 41 will further drive the hydraulic damper 42 to rotate and compress the hydraulic damper 42. Through the damping effect of the hydraulic damper 42, it will provide a reverse damping force for the rotation of the adjusting frame 3, effectively slowing down the tilting speed of the adjusting frame 3, avoiding the ceramic tiles from falling due to the rapid tilting of the adjusting frame 3, and ultimately greatly reducing the probability of the ceramic tiles breaking during the conveying process.

[0049] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles described in this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
