[0002] In automated equipment, materials need to be frequently transported from the previous assembly station to the next one. The main modes of transport for carriers include flat belt conveyor, plate chain conveyor, and magnetic levitation line conveyor. Flat belt conveyor has low cost, but the addition of a secondary stop mechanism will affect the operation of the equipment. Plate chain conveyor has high cost and can only be arranged in a closed loop. The domestic technology of magnetic levitation line conveyor is not mature enough and the cost is extremely high.

[0003] At present, there is a conveying method that combines electric cylinder drive and cam swing rod. The rotation of the cam drives the swing rod to swing to achieve lifting, and the return is to use a spring to make the spring force press the cam roller. However, the cam is expensive, and the cam swing rod and the carrier platform are split structures and located on the side of the carrier platform, which occupies a large space and is difficult to install and position. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a conveying device.

[0005] The utility model provides a conveying device, both ends of which are connected to a moving track. The conveying device comprises a carrier, a carrier platform, a vertical motion mechanism for positioning the carrier, a lateral motion mechanism for driving the carrier to move horizontally, a first driving member and a second driving member. A plurality of carriers can be movably placed on the carrier platform, and both ends of the carrier platform are connected to the moving track. The vertical motion mechanism can be movably connected to one side of the carrier platform, and the vertical motion mechanism comprises a moving member, a follower and a track groove, the moving member is connected to the follower, the track groove is arranged horizontally, and the follower can be movably arranged on the inner track of the track groove. The first driving member is fixed to the carrier platform, the first driving member is connected to the track groove, and the first driving member is used to drive the track groove to move horizontally so as to drive the follower to move vertically. The lateral motion mechanism and the lateral motion mechanism are located on the same side of the carrier platform, and the lateral motion mechanism comprises a sliding member, the sliding member is connected to the moving member, and the moving member drives the sliding member to move vertically. The second driving member is connected to the carrier platform, the second driving member is connected to the sliding member, and the second driving member is used to drive the sliding member to move horizontally.

[0006] The conveying device provided by the utility model has a first driving member driving the track groove to move horizontally so that the follower and the moving member move vertically relative to the carrier platform, thereby driving the vertical motion mechanism to move vertically, and at the same time the moving member drives the sliding member to move so that the horizontal motion mechanism also moves vertically. The second driving member drives the sliding member to move horizontally. The vertical motion mechanism, the horizontal motion mechanism, the first driving member and the second driving member have a simple structure and occupy a small space, and are easy to install and set on the side of the carrier platform with low cost.

[0007] In one embodiment, the inner rail is inclined in the transverse direction and has a smooth curved surface.

[0008] With such arrangement, when the track groove moves in the horizontal direction, it is convenient for the follower to move in the inclined direction on the inner track, that is, to move vertically. The smooth curved surface reduces the friction between the inner track and the follower, which is beneficial to the movement of the follower on the inner track.

[0009] In one embodiment, the first driving member is a cylinder, the follower is a roller, and the track groove is a roller groove; there are two rollers and two roller grooves, and the cylinder is used to drive the two roller grooves to move horizontally, so that the two rollers slide along the inner track and jointly drive the movable plate to move vertically.

[0010] With this arrangement, the cylinder structure is simple, and it is convenient to push the roller groove to perform linear reciprocating motion. The arrangement of two roller grooves and two rollers improves the balance of both ends of the vertical motion mechanism. The cooperation between the roller and the roller groove can ensure the positioning accuracy of each movement, and improve the reliability and stability of positioning.

[0011] In one embodiment, the conveying device also includes a limit member, which is fixed to the first end of the vertical motion mechanism, and the first end is arranged corresponding to the carrier platform part where the carrier enters the moving track; the limit member includes a guide part, a connecting part and a limit part which are connected in sequence along the horizontal direction, and the limit part is arranged obliquely along the horizontal direction, and the limit part is located on the side of the connecting part which is away from the first end, and the limit member is used to limit the carrier that is about to enter the moving track from the carrier platform.

[0012] With such arrangement, the connection portion of the limiting member can press the carrier, so that the limiting portion limits the carrier that is about to leave the carrier platform, preventing the carrier from sliding to the moving track due to inertia, thereby causing inaccurate positioning of the carrier.

[0013] In one of the embodiments, the conveying device also includes a blocking member, which is fixed to the second end of the vertical motion mechanism, and the second end is arranged corresponding to the part of the carrier platform where the carrier leaves the moving track; an installation groove is provided on the side of the vertical motion mechanism away from the second driving member, and the blocking member is fixed to the installation groove. The blocking member includes a fixing part and a blocking part, and the blocking part extends vertically, and the blocking part is used to block the carrier that is about to enter the carrier platform from the moving track.

[0014] In this way, the fixing part can be fixed to the vertical motion mechanism. The blocking part prevents the carrier from entering the carrier platform in advance due to inertia, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the carrier. When the vertical motion mechanism moves upward, the blocking part moves upward with it so that the carrier can enter the carrier platform along the horizontal movement.

[0015] In one embodiment, the vertical motion mechanism includes a first positioning member, on which a plurality of conical rods are protruded. The plurality of conical rods are arranged in parallel in a transverse direction, with the conical surfaces of the conical rods facing the carrier platform. There is a preset interval between two conical rods. The two conical rods with the preset interval form a group, and each group of conical rods corresponds to a carrier.

[0016] With such arrangement, the first positioning member is positioned in cooperation with the carrier by means of two conical rods, so that the positioning of the carrier is convenient.

[0017] In one embodiment, the lateral movement mechanism includes a second positioning member, a positioning pin protruding from the second positioning member, the tip of the positioning pin faces away from the carrier platform, and the positioning pins are arranged in multiple groups, which are arranged in a lateral interval, and each group of positioning pins corresponds to a carrier.

[0018] With such an arrangement, the conveying device adopts a secondary positioning arrangement, so that the carrier is in a positioning state at any position of the conveying device, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the carrier.

[0019] In one embodiment, the second driving member is an electric cylinder, which is used to drive the sliding member to move in the lateral direction.

[0020] With such arrangement, the electric cylinder drives the lateral motion mechanism to reciprocate in a lateral cycle, and there is no waiting time during the entire cycle process, which greatly facilitates the standardization of the conveying device.

[0021] In one embodiment, the conveying device further comprises a universal bearing, and the universal bearing is used to connect the second driving member and the sliding member.

[0022] With such arrangement, the universal bearing facilitates the second driving member to drive the sliding member to move.

[0023] In one embodiment, the conveying device further includes a sensor, which is located at one end of the carrier platform in the lateral direction.

[0024] With such arrangement, the sensor can locate the transport position of the carrier, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the conveying device, and can also avoid damage to the first driving member and the second driving member caused by the vertical motion mechanism and the horizontal motion mechanism not accurately returning to the initial position.

[0037] In automated equipment, materials need to be frequently transported from the previous assembly station to the next one. The main modes of transport for carriers include flat belt conveyor, plate chain conveyor, and magnetic levitation line conveyor. Flat belt conveyor has low cost, but the addition of a secondary stop mechanism will affect the operation of the equipment. Plate chain conveyor has high cost and can only be arranged in a closed loop. The domestic technology of magnetic levitation line conveyor is not mature enough and the cost is extremely high.

[0038] At present, there is a conveying method that combines electric cylinder drive and cam swing rod. The rotation of the cam drives the swing rod to swing to achieve lifting, and the return is to use a spring to make the spring force press the cam roller. However, the cam is expensive, and the cam swing rod and the carrier platform are split structures and located on the side of the carrier platform, which occupies a large space and is difficult to install and position.

[0039] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a conveying device 100.

[0040] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1The overall structure of the conveying device 100 provided by the embodiment of the utility model is shown. The utility model relates to the field of conveying technology.

[0041] The utility model provides a conveying device 100, both ends of which are connected to a moving track. The moving track is an external transport track. The conveying device 100 includes a carrier 1, a carrier platform 2, a vertical motion mechanism 3 for positioning the carrier 1, a lateral motion mechanism 4 for driving the carrier 1 to move lateral, a first driving member 5 and a second driving member 6. Exemplarily, the carrier 1 is used to carry and transport materials.

[0042] A plurality of carriers 1 can be movably placed on a carrier platform 2, and both ends of the carrier platform 2 are connected to a moving track. For example, a carrier 1 enters one end of the carrier platform 2 from the moving track, and enters the next moving track from the other end of the carrier platform 2.

[0043] The vertical motion mechanism 3 is movably connected to one side of the carrier platform 2, and includes a moving member 31, a follower 32 and a track groove 33. The moving member 31 is connected to the follower 32, the track groove 33 is arranged in the horizontal direction, and the follower 32 is movably arranged in the inner track of the track groove 33. Exemplarily, the vertically lower end of the vertical motion mechanism 3 is the track groove 33, and the inner track of the track groove 33 is provided with a follower 32. The follower 32 can move in the track groove 33, and the follower 32 is connected to the moving member 31. When the track groove 33 moves in the horizontal direction, the follower 32 can move in the vertical direction, and the follower 32 drives the moving member 31 to move vertically at the same time.

[0044] The first driving member 5 is fixed to the carrier platform 2 . The first driving member 5 is connected to the track groove 33 . The first driving member 5 is used to drive the track groove 33 to move horizontally so as to drive the follower 32 to move vertically.

[0045] The lateral motion mechanism 4 and the lateral motion mechanism 4 are located on the same side of the carrier platform 2 . The lateral motion mechanism 4 includes a sliding member 41 . The sliding member 41 is connected to the moving member 31 . The moving member 31 drives the sliding member 41 to move vertically.

[0046] The second driving member 6 is connected to the carrier 2, and the second driving member 6 is connected to the sliding member 41, and the second driving member 6 is used to drive the sliding member 41 to move in the lateral direction. For example, when the first driving member 5 and the second driving member 6 move simultaneously, the vertical motion mechanism 3 can move in the vertical direction, and the lateral motion mechanism 4 can move in both the lateral direction and the vertical direction.

[0047] In the conveying device 100 provided by the utility model, the first driving member 5 drives the track groove 33 to move horizontally so that the follower 32 and the moving member 31 move vertically relative to the carrier platform 2, thereby driving the vertical movement mechanism 3 to move vertically, so that the carrier 1 can move vertically relative to the carrier platform 2. At the same time, the moving member 31 drives the sliding member 41 to move so that the horizontal movement mechanism 4 also moves vertically. The second driving member 6 drives the sliding member 41 to move horizontally, so that the carrier 1 can move horizontally relative to the carrier platform 2. The horizontal movement and vertical movement of the carrier 1 are carried out simultaneously without a time interval, which greatly facilitates the transportation of the carrier 1 and materials.

[0048] The conveying device 100 provided by the utility model has a simple structure and occupies a small space due to the vertical motion mechanism 3, the horizontal motion mechanism 4, the first driving member 5 and the second driving member 6. It is easy to install on the side of the carrier platform 2 and has a low cost.

[0049] Reference again Figure 1 For example, the vertical motion mechanism 3, the lateral motion mechanism 4, the first driving member 5 and the second driving member 6 are all arranged on the same side of the carrier platform 2, so that the conveying device 100 has a modular layout and a compact layout, thereby reducing the space occupancy rate.

[0050] refer to Figure 2 , illustratively, the lateral direction is left-right movement, and the carrier 1 moves from right to left on the carrier platform 2, and the vertical direction is up-and-down movement. The carrier 1 is located on the carrier platform 2. When the first driving member 5 drives the track groove 33 to move to the left, the follower 32 moves upward on the inner track of the track groove 33, and the moving member 31 moves upward following the follower 32. At this time, the sliding member 41 and the moving member 31 of the lateral motion mechanism 4 also move upward following the follower 32, and the carrier 1 is positioned by the vertical motion mechanism 3 and the lateral motion mechanism 4 that move upward. When the lateral motion mechanism 4 and the vertical motion mechanism 3 both move to the uppermost end, the second driving member 6 drives the sliding member 41 to move to the left, and the carrier 1 is driven to be transported to the left by the lateral positioning mechanism that moves to the left. The first carrier 1 enters the moving track, and the remaining carriers 1 move to the left as a whole. When the lateral motion mechanism 4 and the carrier 1 move to the far left, the first driving member 5 drives the track groove 33 to move rightward, the follower 32 moves downward on the inner track of the track groove 33, the moving member 31 moves downward following the follower 32, and the sliding member 41 and the moving member 31 of the lateral motion mechanism 4 also move downward following the follower 32. When the lateral motion mechanism 4 and the vertical motion mechanism 3 both move to the lowest end, the remaining carriers 1 are positioned by the vertical motion mechanism 3 moving downward. At this time, the second driving member 6 drives the sliding member 41 to move rightward, so that the vertical motion mechanism 3 and the lateral motion mechanism 4 return to their initial positions.

[0051] Exemplarily, the moving member 31 is provided with a slide rail, and the sliding member 41 is provided with a slider. The cooperation between the slider and the slide rail enables the moving member 31 to drive the slider 41 to move vertically, and the slider 41 can move laterally relative to the moving member 31.

[0052] In other embodiments, the direction of lateral movement may be reversed.

[0053] In one embodiment, the inner rail is inclined in the transverse direction and has a smooth curved surface.

[0054] With such arrangement, when the track groove 33 moves in the lateral direction, it is convenient for the follower 32 to move in the inclined direction on the inner track, that is, to move vertically. The smooth curved surface reduces the friction between the inner track and the follower 32, which is beneficial to the movement of the follower 32 on the inner track.

[0055] Exemplarily, the inner track of the track slot 33 is lower on the left side and higher on the right side, the follower 32 is initially located on the left side of the track slot 33, and the follower 32 moves upward when the first driving member 5 drives the track slot 33 to the left. In other embodiments, the inner track of the track slot 33 is lower on the right side and higher on the left side, the follower 32 is initially located on the right side of the track slot 33, and the follower 32 moves upward when the first driving member 5 drives the track slot 33 to the right.

[0056] In other embodiments, the interior of the track groove 33 may be a smooth slope.

[0057] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the first driving member 5 is a cylinder, the follower 32 is a roller, and the track groove 33 is a roller groove; there are two rollers and two roller grooves, and the cylinder is used to drive the two roller grooves to move horizontally, so that the two rollers slide along the inner track and drive the movable plate to move vertically.

[0058] With such arrangement, the cylinder structure is simple, and it is convenient to push the roller groove to perform linear reciprocating motion. The arrangement of two roller grooves and two rollers improves the balance of both ends of the vertical motion mechanism 3. The cooperation between the roller and the roller groove can ensure the positioning accuracy of each movement, and improve the reliability and stability of positioning.

[0059] Exemplarily, the cylinder is located at the lower end of the track groove 33, and a roller groove is distributed on each of the left and right sides of the cylinder. Both rollers are located at the same end of the inner track of the roller groove and can move to the other end of the inner track at the same time.

[0060] In other embodiments, the follower 32 is a cam and the track groove 33 is a cam groove. It is understandable that the number of the follower 32 and the track groove 33 is not limited, but the number of the follower 32 and the track groove 33 is set correspondingly.

[0061] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the conveying device 100 also includes a limit member 7, which is fixed to the first end 34 of the vertical motion mechanism 3, and the first end 34 is correspondingly arranged at the part of the carrier platform 2 where the carrier 1 enters the moving track; the limit member 7 includes a guide portion 71, a connecting portion 72 and a limit portion 73 connected in sequence along the horizontal direction, and the limit portion 73 is arranged to be inclined along the horizontal direction, and the limit portion 73 is located on the side of the connecting portion 72 that is away from the first end 34, and the limit member 7 is used to limit the carrier 1 that is about to enter the moving track from the carrier platform 2.

[0062] With such arrangement, the connection portion 72 of the limiting member 7 can press the carrier 1 , so that the limiting portion 73 limits the carrier 1 that is about to leave the carrier platform 2 , preventing the carrier 1 from sliding to the moving track due to inertia, thereby causing inaccurate positioning of the carrier 1 .

[0063] Exemplarily, the limiter 7 is located at the left end of the vertical motion mechanism 3, the limiter 7 extends in the horizontal direction, and the limiter 7 extends out of the vertical motion mechanism 3 and is located above the carrier platform 2. The limiter 7 is composed of a limiter 73, a connecting portion 72 and a guide portion 71 from left to right. The limiter 73 is tilted to the lower left, and the portion of the carrier 1 corresponding to the limiter 73 is provided with an inclined surface to cooperate with the limiter 73 to limit. The guide portion 71 facilitates the positioning of the next carrier 1. When the vertical motion mechanism 3 is at the lower end, the limiter 73 cooperates with the carrier 1 to limit the position, so as to prevent the carrier 1 from sliding to the moving track due to inertia, thereby causing inaccurate positioning of the carrier 1. When the vertical motion mechanism 3 moves upward until the limiter 73 is separated from the carrier 1, the carrier 1 can be transported to the left and enter the moving track.

[0064] Exemplarily, the limiting member 7 is plate-shaped, a portion of the connecting portion 72 is fixed to the vertical motion mechanism 3 by bolts, and another portion of the connecting portion 72 extends out of the vertical motion mechanism 3 and is located above the carrier platform 2 for connecting the limiting portion 73 and the guide portion 71 .

[0065] It is understandable that the limiting member 7 may also be in other shapes. The inclination direction of the limiting member 7 is the same as the conveying direction of the carrier 1 .

[0066] Reference again Figure 1 and Figure 4In one embodiment, the conveying device 100 also includes a blocking member 8, which is fixed to the second end 35 of the vertical motion mechanism 3, and the second end 35 is correspondingly arranged at the part of the carrier platform 2 where the carrier 1 leaves the moving track; the vertical motion mechanism 3 is provided with a mounting groove on the side away from the second driving member 6, and the blocking member 8 is fixed to the mounting groove. The blocking member 8 includes a fixing portion 81 and a blocking portion 82, and the blocking portion 82 extends vertically. The blocking portion 82 is used to block the carrier 1 that is about to enter the carrier platform 2 from the moving track.

[0067] In this way, the fixing portion 81 can be fixed to the vertical motion mechanism 3. The blocking portion 82 prevents the carrier 1 from entering the carrier platform 2 in advance due to inertia, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the carrier 1. When the vertical motion mechanism 3 moves upward, the blocking portion 82 moves upward with it so that the carrier 1 can move horizontally into the carrier platform 2.

[0068] refer to Figure 1 , illustratively, the blocking member 8 is located at the right end of the vertical motion mechanism 3, the fixing portion 81 of the blocking member 8 is fixed to the vertical motion mechanism 3 by bolts, and the blocking portion 82 extends from the vertical motion mechanism 3 and is located above the carrier platform 2. When the vertical motion mechanism 3 is at the lowest end, the blocking portion 82 is located in the gap between the two carriers 1, and is used to block the carrier 1 located on the moving track to prevent the carrier 1 from sliding from the moving track to the carrier platform 2 due to inertia, thereby causing inaccurate positioning of the carrier 1. When the vertical motion mechanism 3 moves upward until the blocking portion 82 is separated from the carrier 1, the carrier 1 can be transported to the left and enter the carrier platform 2.

[0069] It can be understood that the blocking member 8 and the limiting member 7 are respectively located at two ends of the vertical motion mechanism 3 , and along the moving direction of the carrier 1 , the limiting member 7 is located in front of the blocking member 8 .

[0070] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the vertical motion mechanism 3 includes a first positioning member 36, and a plurality of conical rods 361 are protruding from the first positioning member 36. The plurality of conical rods 361 are arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction, and the conical surfaces of the conical rods 361 face the carrier platform 2. There is a preset interval between two conical rods 361. The two conical rods 361 with the preset interval form a group, and each group of conical rods 361 corresponds to one carrier 1.

[0071] With such arrangement, the first positioning member 36 is positioned in cooperation with the carrier 1 by means of the cooperation of the two conical rods 361 , so as to facilitate the positioning of the carrier 1 .

[0072] Exemplarily, the carrier 1 is H-shaped, and the upper and lower parts of the H-shaped carrier 1 can be positioned respectively.

[0073] Exemplarily, a cylindrical pin is provided at a preset interval relative to the two conical rods 361 at the lower part of the carrier 1, and the preset interval is the outer diameter of the cylindrical pin. The two conical rods 361 move downward to engage with the cylindrical pin to position the carrier 1.

[0074] For example, when the lateral motion mechanism 4 moves downward, the tips of the two conical rods 361 can gradually engage the cylindrical pin. When the lateral motion mechanism 4 is at the lowest end, the two conical rods 361 completely engage the cylindrical pin to position the carrier 1.

[0075] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the lateral movement mechanism 4 includes a second positioning member 42, a positioning pin 421 protrudes from the second positioning member 42, the tip of the positioning pin 421 faces away from the carrier platform 2, and the positioning pins 421 are arranged in multiple groups, and the multiple groups of positioning pins 421 are arranged at intervals along the lateral direction, and each group of positioning pins 421 corresponds to a carrier 1.

[0076] In this way, the conveying device 100 adopts a secondary positioning setting, so that the carrier 1 is in a positioning state at any position of the conveying device 100, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the carrier 1.

[0077] Exemplarily, a positioning hole is provided at a position on the upper portion of the carrier 1 corresponding to the second positioning member 42 , and there are two positioning holes on each carrier 1 , corresponding to two positioning pins 421 .

[0078] For example, when the lateral motion mechanism 4 moves upward, the tip of the positioning pin 421 can gradually enter the positioning hole on the upper part of the carrier 1. When the lateral motion mechanism 4 is located at the uppermost end, the positioning pin 421 completely cooperates with the positioning hole to position the carrier 1.

[0079] Exemplarily, when the lateral motion mechanism 4 moves downward and the tip of the positioning pin 421 has not completely disengaged from the positioning hole, the vertical motion mechanism 3 moves downward until the tips of the two conical rods 361 begin to engage with the cylindrical pin. At this time, the first positioning member 36 and the second positioning member 42 simultaneously perform secondary positioning, which can achieve stability in the upper and lower positioning.

[0080] In one embodiment, the second driving member 6 is an electric cylinder, which is used to drive the sliding member 41 to move in the lateral direction.

[0081] With such arrangement, the electric cylinder drives the lateral motion mechanism 4 to reciprocate in a lateral cycle, and there is no waiting time during the entire cycle process, which greatly facilitates the standardization of the conveying device 100 .

[0082] In other embodiments, the second driving member 6 can also be a cylinder or other driving device, as long as it can drive the lateral motion mechanism 4 to reciprocate in the lateral direction.

[0083] Reference again Figure 1 In one embodiment, the conveying device 100 further includes a universal bearing 9 , which is used to connect the second driving member 6 and the sliding member 41 .

[0084] With such arrangement, the universal bearing 9 facilitates the second driving member 6 to drive the sliding member 41 to move.

[0085] Reference again Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the conveying device 100 further includes a sensor 10, and the sensor 10 is located at one end of the carrier platform 2 in the transverse direction.

[0086] With such arrangement, the sensor 10 can locate the transport position of the carrier 1, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the conveying device 100. At the same time, it can avoid damage to the first driving member 5 and the second driving member 6 caused by the vertical motion mechanism 3 and the horizontal motion mechanism 4 not accurately returning to the initial position.

[0087] Exemplarily, the sensor 10 is an infrared sensor 10 .

[0088] For example, when the carrier 1 is sent from the carrier platform 2 to the moving track by the lateral motion mechanism 4, the sensor 10 can scan the position of the carrier 1 and feed back the scanning result to the first driving member 5 and the second driving member 6, so as to timely adjust the driving frequency and moving position of the first driving member 5 and the second driving member 6.

[0089] In other embodiments, multiple sensors 10 may be located at different positions of the carrier platform 2 .

[0090] The cyclic motion steps of the conveying device 100 for conveying multiple carriers 1 are as follows: the first driving member 5, the second driving member 6, the vertical motion mechanism 3 and the horizontal motion mechanism 4 are in the initial state, the multiple carriers 1 are in the first position, the limiting member 7 limits the carrier 1 on the leftmost side of the carrier platform 2, and the blocking member 8 limits the carrier 1 on the right moving track. The two conical rods 361 of each group completely clamp the cylindrical pin to position each carrier 1; when the cylinder starts to move to the left, the roller moves upward on the inner track of the roller groove, the moving member 31 moves upward with the roller, and the multiple conical rods 361 move upward and are about to leave the cylindrical pin. At this time, the horizontal motion mechanism 4 moves upward with the roller, and the positioning pin 421 enters the positioning hole of the carrier 1 to perform secondary positioning on the carrier 1. When the horizontal motion mechanism 4 and the vertical motion mechanism 3 both move to the uppermost end, the multiple conical rods 361 completely leave the cylindrical pin, the positioning pin 421 is completely matched with the positioning hole of the carrier 1, and the limiting member 7 and the blocking member 8 completely leave the carrier 1. At this time, the electric cylinder drives the sliding member 41 to move to the left, and the carrier 1 is driven to move to the left by the lateral positioning mechanism moving to the left. The first carrier 1 on the left enters the moving track, and the rest of the carriers 1 move to the left as a whole. When the lateral movement mechanism 4 and the carrier 1 move to the leftmost, the cylinder drives the roller groove to move to the right, the roller moves downward on the inner track of the roller groove, the vertical movement mechanism 3 moves downward, and the lateral movement mechanism 4 also moves downward with the roller. When the lateral movement mechanism 4 moves downward and the pin tip of the positioning pin 421 has not completely disengaged from the positioning hole, the vertical movement mechanism 3 moves downward until the tips of the two conical rods 361 have begun to engage with the cylindrical pin. When both the lateral movement mechanism 4 and the vertical movement mechanism 3 move to the lowest end, multiple conical rods 361 completely engage with the cylindrical pin, the positioning pin 421 is completely disengaged from the positioning hole of the carrier 1, and the limiter 7 and the blocking member 8 both limit different carriers 1. At this time, the vertical movement mechanism 3 and the cylinder return to the initial position. Finally, the electric cylinder drives the lateral motion mechanism 4 to move rightward to return to the initial position. This is a conveying cycle of the conveying device 100. The conveying device 100 can continue to perform this cyclic reciprocating motion to convey multiple carriers 1.
