Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bearing diversion and conveying technology, and in particular to a multi-specification bearing identification, diversion and reversing conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] During production, testing, cleaning, packaging, or warehousing, bearings often need to be transported along different conveying routes based on their specifications. Existing bearing sorting equipment typically uses methods such as visual recognition, barcode scanning, weighing, push rod sorting, lever sorting, or baffle reversing to separate bearings of different specifications. While these methods can achieve classified conveying of bearings, they are prone to problems under continuous conveying conditions, including complex structures, limited operating cycles due to actuator limitations, impacts on bearings, easy damage to bearing surfaces, and the need for frequent calibration of the sorting positions.

[0003] Especially for multi-specification bearings with differences in outer diameter, mass, and end-face contact range, if a traditional push-type or push-type flow divider structure is used, the bearing is prone to changes in rolling posture, collisions between adjacent bearings, and increased flow divider error when it is pushed laterally. If a sensor is used to identify the bearing before performing the flow divider action, an identification module, a control module, and an independent actuator are also required, resulting in higher equipment manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a conveyor that can divide the flow by utilizing the differences in bearing specifications during the continuous conveying of bearings. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is that the existing multi-specification bearing diversion equipment has a complex structure and a large impact during diversion. To address this, we propose a multi-specification bearing identification, diversion and reversing conveyor.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a multi-specification bearing identification diversion and reversing conveyor, comprising: a support body, an elastic conveyor belt, a damping pressure belt, an adjustment component, a feed belt, a flow control component, and multiple diversion channels; The two ends of the support body are respectively equipped with a conveyor belt drive roller and a conveyor belt driven roller, and the elastic conveyor belt is wrapped around the outside of the conveyor belt drive roller and the conveyor belt driven roller; The outer surface of the elastic conveyor belt is provided with multiple diversion ribs, which are inclined relative to the conveying direction of the elastic conveyor belt, and are used to apply a lateral diversion effect to the bearing when the bearing slips relative to the elastic conveyor belt. The feed belt is located at the input end of the elastic conveyor belt, and the output end of the feed belt is provided with a feed channel. The feed channel is equipped with a flow control component, which is used to transfer the bearings on the feed belt to the elastic conveyor belt in an intermittent manner, and to make the bearings enter the initial conveying position corresponding to the inclination direction of the diversion ripple. The damping pressure belt is disposed above the elastic conveyor belt. The damping pressure belt is supported by a damping belt drive roller, a damping belt driven roller, a rising roller, and a tensioning roller. The damping pressure belt between the damping belt drive roller and the damping belt driven roller forms a planar damping section. The planar damping section is disposed opposite to the upper surface of the elastic conveyor belt and is used to apply a damping effect to the bearing located below it, so that the bearing forms a controlled slip between the bearing and the elastic conveyor belt and the diverting twill. The adjustment assembly is connected to the damping belt driven roller and is used to drive the damping belt driven roller to move along the conveying direction of the elastic conveyor belt, so as to change the effective contact length of the planar damping part along the conveying direction.

[0007] Preferably, the rising roller is disposed downstream of the damping belt driven roller, and the damping pressure belt between the damping belt driven roller and the rising roller forms a rising section. The rising section gradually moves away from the elastic conveyor belt along the conveying direction, so as to allow the bearing after the lateral diversion to gradually disengage from the damping effect of the damping pressure belt.

[0008] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes a support block, a T-shaped slider, and a threaded push rod. The support block is installed at the end of the driven roller of the damping belt. The support body has a T-shaped groove extending along the conveying direction of the elastic conveyor belt. The T-shaped slider is slidably installed in the T-shaped groove. The end of the threaded push rod is rotatably connected to the side of the support block, and the threaded push rod is threadedly connected to the support body so that when the threaded push rod rotates, it pushes the T-shaped slider to move along the T-shaped groove, thereby adjusting the distance between the driven roller of the damping belt and the driving roller of the damping belt.

[0009] Preferably, the adjustment assembly further includes a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear, and a handle. The first bevel gear is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded push rod, and the side of the first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear. The handle is connected to the second bevel gear so as to drive the threaded push rod to rotate through the second bevel gear and the first bevel gear.

[0010] Preferably, a rigid adjustment assembly is provided below the elastic conveyor belt. The rigid adjustment assembly includes a fixed plate, a hydraulic push rod, a lifting adjustment plate, a spring, and a support plate. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the support body. The hydraulic push rod is installed on the fixed plate, and the output end of the hydraulic push rod is fixedly connected to the lifting adjustment plate to drive the lifting adjustment plate to rise and fall relative to the fixed plate.

[0011] Preferably, the spring is disposed between the lifting adjustment plate and the support plate, the support plate is disposed below the elastic conveyor belt and is used to support the elastic conveyor belt, and the lifting adjustment plate is used to adjust the compression of the spring to change the support stiffness of the support plate on the elastic conveyor belt.

[0012] Preferably, the rigid adjustment assembly further includes a limiting rod and a limiting block. The top end of the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support plate. The limiting rod passes through the lifting adjustment plate and the fixed plate in sequence, and the limiting rod is slidably connected to the lifting adjustment plate and the fixed plate respectively. The limiting block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the limiting rod and is used to abut against the fixed plate to limit the maximum height of the support plate relative to the fixed plate.

[0013] Preferably, the flow control component includes a micro motor, a first baffle, a first guide slider, a second baffle, and a second guide slider. The first baffle and the second baffle are spaced apart in the feed channel along the conveying direction of the feed channel. The first baffle is slidably connected to the feed channel through the first guide slider, and the second baffle is slidably connected to the feed channel through the second guide slider, so that the first baffle and the second baffle can move up and down relative to the feed channel.

[0014] Preferably, the micro motor is installed on the side of the feeding channel, and the output end of the micro motor is fixedly connected to a lever. One end of the lever is slidably connected to a first connecting rod, and the other end of the lever is slidably connected to a second connecting rod. The micro motor is used to drive the lever to rotate, so as to drive the first baffle and the second baffle to move in opposite directions through the first and second connecting rods, so that the first baffle and the second baffle alternately block the bearing in the feeding channel.

[0015] Preferably, the diversion channel is located at the output end of the elastic conveyor belt and corresponds to different lateral sliding positions, for receiving bearings of different specifications after diversion.

[0016] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows: This invention utilizes an upper damping pressure belt in conjunction with a lower elastic conveyor belt with diversion grooves to achieve controlled slippage of the bearings during continuous conveying. It converts differences in the outer diameter, mass, and end-face contact range of bearings of different specifications into varying lateral slippage amounts, thus achieving adaptive diversion without push rods, levers, or material drop holes. Simultaneously, by adjusting the effective contact length of the planar damping section using adjustable components, the duration of damping on the bearings can be adjusted according to insufficient or excessive diversion conditions. Furthermore, the rigidity adjustment component regulates the support stiffness of the elastic conveyor belt, adapting to bearings of different weights and specifications. Therefore, this technical solution reduces the impact and scratching risks to bearings caused by traditional mechanical forced diversion, and improves the diversion stability and adaptability during continuous conveying of multiple bearing specifications.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this invention, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of the invention. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative examples of the technical solution of this invention and should not be considered as the entirety of the invention or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this invention.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a multi-specification bearing identification diversion and reversing conveyor, comprising: a support body 1, an elastic conveyor belt 4, a damping pressure belt 7, an adjustment component 6, a feed belt 10, a flow control component 9, and multiple diversion channels 16.

[0021] The support body 1 supports the various conveying and adjusting components. A conveyor belt drive roller 2 and a conveyor belt driven roller 3 are respectively installed at both ends of the support body 1. An elastic conveyor belt 4 is wound around the outside of the conveyor belt drive roller 2 and the conveyor belt driven roller 3. The conveyor belt drive roller 2 can be driven by a motor to rotate, thereby driving the elastic conveyor belt 4 in a cyclical motion. The conveyor belt driven roller 3 supports the other end of the elastic conveyor belt 4, forming an upward conveying section of the elastic conveyor belt 4 for supporting the bearings.

[0022] The elastic conveyor belt 4 can be made of rubber, polyurethane, or composite elastic belt with elastic deformation capability. Multiple diversion ribs 5 are provided on the outer surface of the elastic conveyor belt 4. These diversion ribs 5 are inclined relative to the conveying direction of the elastic conveyor belt 4. The diversion ribs 5 should preferably be low, continuous, and flexible, so that they primarily exert a lateral diversion effect on the bearings through friction guidance, reducing the risk of rigid collisions and bearing end face scratches.

[0023] The elastic conveyor belt 4 and the diverting twill 5 can be integrally molded or fixedly connected by bonding, hot pressing, vulcanization, or coating. The hardness of the diverting twill 5 is greater than that of the main body of the elastic conveyor belt 4, ensuring that the diverting twill 5 maintains a certain shape stability when the bearing passes over it; the main body of the elastic conveyor belt 4 maintains its elastic support capacity, allowing different sizes of bearings to form different indentation responses when passing over it. This structure is beneficial for different sizes of bearings to form different lateral slippage amounts under controlled slippage conditions.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the feed belt 10 is located at the input end of the elastic conveyor belt 4. A feed channel 11 is provided at the output end of the feed belt 10. The feed channel 11 guides the bearings into the input position of the elastic conveyor belt 4. A flow control component 9 is installed inside the feed channel 11. The flow control component 9 is used to transfer the bearings on the feed belt 10 to the elastic conveyor belt 4 at intervals, and to position the bearings into an initial conveying position corresponding to the inclination direction of the diversion screed 5. This initial conveying position can be located on one side of the width direction of the elastic conveyor belt 4, so that the bearings have sufficient lateral sliding space under the action of the diversion screed 5.

[0025] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first baffle 904 and the second baffle 907 are spaced apart within the feed channel 11 along the conveying direction of the feed channel 11. The first baffle 904 is slidably connected to the feed channel 11 via the first guide slider 905, and the second baffle 907 is slidably connected to the feed channel 11 via the second guide slider 908, thereby enabling the first baffle 904 and the second baffle 907 to move up and down in the vertical direction.

[0026] A micro motor 901 is installed on the side of the feed channel 11. A toggle lever 902 is fixedly connected to the output end of the micro motor 901. One end of the toggle lever 902 is slidably connected to a first connecting rod 903, and the other end is slidably connected to a second connecting rod 906. The first connecting rod 903 is connected to a first baffle 904, and the second connecting rod 906 is connected to a second baffle 907. When the micro motor 901 drives the toggle lever 902 to rotate, the toggle lever 902, through the first connecting rod 903 and the second connecting rod 906, drives the first baffle 904 and the second baffle 907 to move in opposite directions, causing the first baffle 904 and the second baffle 907 to alternately block the bearings in the feed channel 11. Therefore, the bearings in the feed channel 11 can enter the elastic conveyor belt 4 one by one, preventing the bearings from continuously stacking and entering the diversion area.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the damping pressure belt 7 is positioned above the elastic conveyor belt 4. The damping pressure belt 7 is supported by a damping belt drive roller 12, a damping belt driven roller 13, a rising roller 14, and a tension roller 15. The damping pressure belt 7 applies damping to the upper side of the bearing, causing controlled slippage between the bearing and the elastic conveyor belt 4. The damping pressure belt 7 between the damping belt drive roller 12 and the damping belt driven roller 13 forms a planar damping section 71. The planar damping section 71 is positioned opposite to the upper surface of the elastic conveyor belt 4. The planar damping section 71 can form a pressing gap with the elastic conveyor belt 4 for the bearing to pass through. When the bearing passes below the planar damping section 71, the planar damping section 71 applies downward pressing and resistance along the conveying direction to the bearing, causing controlled slippage between the bearing and the elastic conveyor belt 4 and the diverting twill 5. Because the diversion slant 5 is inclined, it can guide the bearing to form lateral slip during the controlled slip process. The running speed of the damping pressure belt 7 can be lower than the running speed of the elastic conveyor belt 4 to enhance the controlled slip between the bearing and the elastic conveyor belt 4.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the rising roller 14 is located downstream of the damping belt driven roller 13. The damping pressure belt 7 between the damping belt driven roller 13 and the rising roller 14 forms a rising section 72. The rising section 72 gradually moves away from the elastic conveyor belt 4 along the conveying direction. After the bearing passes through the planar damping section 71 and undergoes lateral slippage, the rising section 72 gradually weakens the damping effect of the damping pressure belt 7 on the bearing. This structure facilitates the smooth disengagement of the bearing from the damping pressure belt 7, reduces sudden changes in bearing posture and continued lateral displacement, and helps the bearing stably enter the corresponding diversion channel 16.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment assembly 6 is connected to the damping belt driven roller 13. The adjustment assembly 6 is used to drive the damping belt driven roller 13 to move along the conveying direction of the elastic conveyor belt 4, so as to change the effective contact length of the planar damping part 71 along the conveying direction.

[0030] The adjusting assembly 6 includes a support block 601, a T-shaped slider 602, and a threaded push rod 603. The support block 601 is mounted on the end of the damping belt driven roller 13. A T-shaped groove extending along the conveying direction of the elastic conveyor belt 4 is provided on the support body 1, and the T-shaped slider 602 is slidably mounted in the T-shaped groove. The end of the threaded push rod 603 is rotatably connected to the side of the support block 601, and the threaded push rod 603 is threadedly connected to the support body 1. When the threaded push rod 603 is rotated, it drives the support block 601 and the T-shaped slider 602 to move along the T-shaped groove, thereby changing the distance between the damping belt driven roller 13 and the damping belt driving roller 12.

[0031] The adjustment assembly 6 also includes a first bevel gear 604, a second bevel gear 605, and a handle 606. The first bevel gear 604 is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded push rod 603. The second bevel gear 605 is engaged with the side of the first bevel gear 604. The handle 606 is connected to the second bevel gear 605. When the operator turns the handle 606, the second bevel gear 605 drives the first bevel gear 604 to rotate, and the first bevel gear 604 drives the threaded push rod 603 to rotate, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the damping belt driven roller 13. With this structure, the operator can adjust the effective contact length of the planar damping part 71 according to the bearing specification combination, the degree of lateral flow division, and the position requirements of the flow division channel 16.

[0032] When the bearing specification difference is small or the actual lateral slip is insufficient, the effective contact length of the planar damping part 71 can be increased by adjusting component 6, so that the bearing is damped over a longer distance and maintains controlled slip with the diverter pattern 5, thereby increasing the cumulative lateral slip. When the bearing specification difference is large or it can already enter the corresponding lateral position within a shorter distance, the effective contact length of the planar damping part 71 can be shortened to reduce the risk of excessive lateral slip of the bearing.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a rigid adjustment assembly 8 is provided below the elastic conveyor belt 4. The rigid adjustment assembly 8 includes a fixed plate 801, a hydraulic push rod 802, a lifting adjustment plate 803, a spring 804, and a support plate 805. The fixed plate 801 is fixedly connected to the support body 1. The hydraulic push rod 802 is mounted on the fixed plate 801. The output end of the hydraulic push rod 802 is fixedly connected to the lifting adjustment plate 803 to drive the lifting adjustment plate 803 to rise and fall relative to the fixed plate 801.

[0034] A spring 804 is positioned between the lifting adjustment plate 803 and the support plate 805. The support plate 805 is positioned below the elastic conveyor belt 4 and supports it. When the hydraulic push rod 802 drives the lifting adjustment plate 803 to rise, the compression of the spring 804 increases, and the supporting stiffness of the support plate 805 on the elastic conveyor belt 4 increases; when the hydraulic push rod 802 drives the lifting adjustment plate 803 to fall, the compression of the spring 804 decreases, and the supporting stiffness of the support plate 805 on the elastic conveyor belt 4 decreases.

[0035] When the support stiffness is high, the local sinking of the elastic conveyor belt 4 under bearing pressure is small, making the equipment more suitable for bearings with larger specifications, heavier weight, or prone to lateral slippage. When the support stiffness is low, the elastic conveyor belt 4 is more prone to local indentation, increasing the effective contact between the diverting ribs 5 and the bearing, making it more suitable for bearings with smaller size differences, lighter weight, or requiring enhanced lateral slippage. Therefore, the rigidity adjustment component 8 can serve as an auxiliary adaptation structure beyond the effective contact length adjustment of the planar damping section 71, improving the equipment's compatibility with different bearing conditions.

[0036] The rigid adjustment assembly 8 also includes a limiting rod 806 and a limiting block 807. The top end of the limiting rod 806 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support plate 805. The limiting rod 806 passes sequentially through the lifting adjustment plate 803 and the fixed plate 801, and is slidably connected to both the lifting adjustment plate 803 and the fixed plate 801. The limiting block 807 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the limiting rod 806. The limiting block 807 abuts against the fixed plate 801 to limit the maximum height of the support plate 805 relative to the fixed plate 801. Through the cooperation of the limiting rod 806 and the limiting block 807, the highest position of the support plate 805 can be limited, making the compression adjustment of the spring 804 more stable and reducing the possibility of the support plate 805 rising excessively and causing abnormal height of the working surface of the elastic conveyor belt 4.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple diversion channels 16 are disposed at the output end of the elastic conveyor belt 4, each corresponding to a different lateral sliding position. The multiple diversion channels 16 can be arranged along the width direction of the elastic conveyor belt 4. After completing the lateral sliding, bearings of different specifications enter their corresponding diversion channels 16, thereby achieving diversion and reversing conveying of bearings of different specifications.

[0038] Working Principle: When this multi-specification bearing identification and diversion conveyor is working, the active roller 2 of the conveyor belt drives the elastic conveyor belt 4 to circulate around the active roller 2 and the driven roller 3. The diversion ripples 5 on the outer surface of the elastic conveyor belt 4 move synchronously with the elastic conveyor belt 4. The bearings to be diverted are conveyed by the feed belt 10 into the feed channel 11. The flow control component 9 intermittently releases the bearings in the feed channel 11, allowing each bearing to enter the diversion area above the elastic conveyor belt 4 one by one. This prevents multiple bearings from colliding with each other and affecting the lateral diversion trajectory after entering the diversion area simultaneously.

[0039] When the flow control component 9 is working, the micro motor 901 drives the actuating lever 902 to rotate. The actuating lever 902, through the first connecting rod 903 and the second connecting rod 906, drives the first baffle 904 and the second baffle 907 to move up and down along the feed channel 11. When the first baffle 904 and the second baffle 907 move up and down in opposite directions, one baffle blocks the subsequent bearing, and the other baffle releases the bearing located in front of it, so that the bearing enters the elastic conveyor belt 4 at a predetermined interval and falls into the initial conveying position corresponding to the inclination direction of the diversion sloping pattern 5.

[0040] After the bearing enters the elastic conveyor belt 4, the elastic conveyor belt 4 supports the bearing and transports it to the output end. The planar damping part 71 is disposed opposite to the upper surface of the elastic conveyor belt 4. After the bearing enters below the planar damping part 71, the planar damping part 71 applies a damping effect to the bearing, preventing the bearing from moving synchronously with the elastic conveyor belt 4. This results in controlled slippage between the bearing, the elastic conveyor belt 4, and the diverting groove 5. During the controlled slippage, the diverting groove 5 is inclined relative to the conveying direction of the elastic conveyor belt 4. Therefore, the diverting groove 5 generates a frictional guiding effect on the bottom surface of the bearing along the groove direction. This frictional guiding effect includes a lateral component. As the bearing continues to move below the planar damping part 71, this lateral component gradually accumulates, causing the bearing to slip laterally while moving in the conveying direction. Different bearing specifications have different outer diameters, masses, end-face contact ranges, and downward pressure on the elastic conveyor belt 4, resulting in different effective contact states between the bearing, the elastic conveyor belt 4, and the diverting groove 5. Larger or heavier bearings typically cause more pronounced local indentation in the elastic conveyor belt 4 and create more effective contact with the diversion grooves 5, resulting in greater lateral slippage. Conversely, smaller or lighter bearings cause less indentation in the elastic conveyor belt 4 and have weaker effective contact with the diversion grooves 5, resulting in less lateral slippage. Consequently, bearings of different sizes create different lateral positions during continuous conveying.

[0041] Adjustment component 6 is used to adjust the effective contact length of the planar damping section 71 along the conveying direction. During adjustment, rotating the handle 606 drives the second bevel gear 605 to rotate. The second bevel gear 605, through meshing with the first bevel gear 604, drives the threaded push rod 603 to rotate. After the threaded push rod 603 rotates, it drives the support block 601 and the T-shaped slider 602 corresponding to the end of the damping belt driven roller 13 to move along the T-shaped groove, causing the position of the damping belt driven roller 13 relative to the damping belt driving roller 12 to change, thereby changing the length of the planar damping section 71 between the damping belt driving roller 12 and the damping belt driven roller 13.

[0042] When the specifications of the bearings to be diverted are small and the diversion groove 5 is difficult to form a sufficient lateral spacing over a short distance, the effective contact length of the planar damping part 71 is increased by adjusting component 6. This allows the bearing to be damped over a longer distance and maintain controlled sliding with the diversion groove 5 for a longer period, thereby increasing the difference in lateral sliding amount between bearings of different specifications. When the specifications of the bearings to be diverted are large, or when the bearing has reached the receiving position of the corresponding diversion channel 16 within a short conveying distance, the effective contact length of the planar damping part 71 is shortened by adjusting component 6. This reduces the distance that the bearing continues to be damped, preventing excessive lateral sliding of the bearing and its accidental entry into the adjacent diversion channel 16. Therefore, the effective contact length of the planar damping part 71 can be matched according to the degree of diversion completion. When diversion is insufficient, the damping contact length is extended; when diversion is complete, the damping contact length is shortened.

[0043] A rising roller 14 is provided downstream of the damping belt driven roller 13, forming a rising section 72 between the damping belt driven roller 13 and the rising roller 14. After the bearing completes the lateral diversion through the planar damping section 71, it enters below the rising section 72. As the rising section 72 gradually moves away from the elastic conveyor belt 4 along the conveying direction, the damping effect on the bearing gradually decreases, and the controlled slippage between the bearing and the elastic conveyor belt 4 and the diversion screed 5 gradually weakens. This avoids the bearing suddenly disengaging from the strong damping state and causing attitude fluctuations, while also reducing the bearing's continued lateral offset before entering the diversion channel 16, ensuring that the bearing maintains a relatively stable lateral trajectory after the diversion is completed.

[0044] A rigid adjustment component 8 is installed below the elastic conveyor belt 4 to adjust the back support state of the elastic conveyor belt 4. When the hydraulic push rod 802 drives the lifting adjustment plate 803 to rise, the compression of the spring 804 increases, the initial support force of the support plate 805 on the elastic conveyor belt 4 increases, and the local sinking of the elastic conveyor belt 4 under the bearing pressure decreases. The equipment corresponds to a higher diversion threshold and is suitable for bearings with larger specifications, greater weight, or those prone to lateral slippage. When the hydraulic push rod 802 drives the lifting adjustment plate 803 to fall, the compression of the spring 804 decreases, the initial support force of the support plate 805 on the elastic conveyor belt 4 decreases, and the elastic conveyor belt 4 is more prone to local sinking under the bearing pressure. The equipment corresponds to a lower diversion threshold and is suitable for bearings with smaller specifications, lighter weight, or those with small differences between different specifications.

[0045] After completing the lateral diversion, the bearings continue to move to the output end with the elastic conveyor belt 4. Multiple diversion channels 16 are set up to correspond to different lateral sliding positions. Bearings with larger lateral sliding amounts enter the diversion channel 16 located at the corresponding lateral position, while bearings with smaller lateral sliding amounts enter the corresponding other diversion channels 16, thereby realizing the identification, diversion, and reversing conveying of bearings of multiple specifications during continuous conveying.

[0046] The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this invention, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this invention.
