[0016] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the utility model includes a conveyor line 1, characterized in that: a plurality of carriers 2 are arranged side by side at the conveying end of the conveyor line 1, the carrier 2 is provided with a profiling groove 3, two sets of sliders 4 are slidably arranged at the bottom of the carrier 2, a push block 5 is arranged on the top of the slider 4, the push block 5 is located on the left and right sides of the profiling groove 3, the slider 4 is pressed against the end of the carrier 2 by a compression spring 6, a driving module 7 is arranged at the bottom of the conveyor line 1, and the driving module 7 is in transmission cooperation with the slider 4. The driving module 7 drives the slider 4 to move synchronously in opposite directions, and the push block 5 pushes the left and right sides of the product, thereby adjusting the product to the center position.
[0017] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, positioning blocks 8 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the profiling groove 3. The positioning blocks 8 are used to position the front and rear ends of the product.
[0018] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a linear guide rail 9 is provided at the bottom of the carrier 2, and two groups of sliders 4 slide on the linear guide rail 9 in the horizontal direction. A fixed block 10 is provided at the end of the linear guide rail 9, and the slider 4 is pressed and matched with the fixed block 10 through the compression spring 6. The linear guide rail 9 guides the sliding of the slider 4, and the compression spring 6 presses and resets the sliding of the slider 4.
[0019] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the driving module 7 includes a lifting cylinder 11 arranged outside the conveyor line 1, and the action end of the lifting cylinder 11 is provided with a mounting plate 12, and the mounting plate 12 is located at the bottom of the conveyor line 1. The mounting plate 12 is provided with two sets of clamping cylinders 13, and the action end of the clamping cylinder 13 is provided with a protrusion 15, and the protrusion 15 is pushed and matched with the slider 4. The lifting cylinder 11 drives the mounting plate 12 to move upward, and the clamping cylinder 13 drives the protrusion 15 to move in opposite directions, pushing the slider 4 to move outward, placing the product on the profiling groove 3, and the clamping cylinder 13 drives the protrusion 15 to move in opposite directions, pushing the slider 4 to move inward, and the push block 5 pushes the left and right sides of the product, thereby adjusting the product to the center position.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a vertically oriented buffer 14 is provided on the side of the upper conveyor line 1, and the buffer 14 cooperates with the mounting plate 12 to prevent the lifting cylinder 11 from being driven too far.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, there are three groups of the drive modules 7, one group of the drive modules 7 is arranged in the front half of the conveyor line 1, and the other two groups of the drive modules 7 are arranged in the rear half of the conveyor line 1. The front half of the conveyor line 1 serves as the loading area of the product, and the rear half of the conveyor line 1 serves as the unloading area of the product. Each group of the drive modules 7 corresponds to each group of the carriers 2 one by one. The drive modules 7 located in the front half of the conveyor line 1 adjust the product to the center, and the drive modules 7 located in the rear half of the conveyor line 1 open the carriers 2 corresponding to the product, waiting for the external manipulator to take the product away. There is a difference in movement between the loading opening and closing area and the unloading opening and closing area.
