[0035] When the conveyor belt is conveying workpieces, since the discharge direction of the discharge port of the upstream device is inconsistent with the feeding direction of the feeding port of the downstream device, it is usually necessary to deflect the workpiece so that it can adapt to the feeding direction of the feeding port of the downstream device. In the prior art, blocking blocks are usually set on both sides of the conveying direction of the conveyor belt so that the workpiece is deflected after colliding with the blocking blocks. However, the workpiece may slip between the conveyor belt and the conveyor belt when entering the conveyor belt, which may easily lead to an unstable deflection angle after the workpiece collides with the blocking block. In addition, the workpiece is blocked by the blocking block, and the speed will be reduced, which affects the conveying speed of the workpiece and reduces production efficiency.
