The carrier is placed on the belt conveyor line and is driven to move by friction. There are still the following deficiencies: when the weight of the carrier is too large, the belt bears a large frictional force and is easily worn. Summary of the Utility Model

The support track is fixedly arranged on the bottom plate and is used for carrying the carrier. The conveying mechanism includes a first driving component and a lifting driving component, which are in transmission connection. One of them is installed on the bottom plate, and the other is installed with a first support plate. The conveying mechanism is configured as follows: the lifting driving component is used to drive the first support plate to lift to carry or disengage from the carrier; the first driving component is used to drive the first support plate carrying the carrier to move along a first direction, and during the movement, there is always a gap between the carrier and the support track.

[0044] To make the above objects, features and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the following combines the attached Figure 1 —8 to make a detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present utility model.

[0045] In the present utility model, terms such as "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection or an integral structure.

[0046] In the present utility model, terms such as "inside", "outside", "above", "below", etc. indicating the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0047] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a conveyor line. Refer to the attached Figure 1The conveyor line includes a base plate 10, a support track 20 and a conveying mechanism 40. The support track 20 is fixed to the base plate 10 and is used to carry the carrier 30. The conveying mechanism 40 includes a first driving component 430 and a lifting driving component 450, which are connected in a transmission manner, one of which is installed on the base plate 10 and the other is installed on the first supporting plate 460. The conveying mechanism 40 is configured as follows: the lifting driving component 450 is used to drive the first supporting plate 460 to lift and lower to carry or detach the carrier 30; the first driving component 430 is used to drive the first supporting plate 460 carrying the carrier 30 to move along a first direction, and during the movement, there is always a gap between the carrier 30 and the support track 20. See the attached Figure 2 As shown, the first direction is the X direction, the second direction is the Y direction, and the lifting direction is the Z direction.

[0048] The working principle of a conveyor line provided by an embodiment of the utility model is as follows: when the conveyor line is working, the carrier 30 is placed on the loading position of the support rail 20 by manual or other equipment. The support rail 20 is used to support the carrier 30, can bear a large weight and can withstand the impact force perpendicular to the support rail 20; then the lifting drive component 450 drives the first support plate 460 to rise to carry the carrier 30; then the first drive component 430 drives the first support plate 460 to drive the carrier 30 to move along the first direction and toward the unloading position of the support rail 20, and during the movement, the carrier 30 and the support rail 20 are connected. There is always a gap between the support rails 20, so that there is no wear between the carrier 30 and the support rails 20 during the operation of the carrier 30, thereby improving the life of the carrier 30; after the first drive component 430 drives the first support plate 460 to move the carrier 30 to the unloading position, the carrier 30 at the unloading position is removed by another device, and the lifting drive component 450 drives the first support plate 460 to descend to separate the carrier 30, and then the first drive component 430 drives the first support plate 460 to move along the first direction and toward the loading position of the support rail 20, and returns to the initial position to continue to carry the carrier 30.

[0049] Therefore, a conveyor line provided by an embodiment of the utility model, on the one hand, by setting a support rail 20 for supporting a carrier 30, compared with a belt conveyor line, the support rail 20 of the present application can withstand a larger weight and can withstand an impact force perpendicular to the support rail 20, so that the product in the carrier 30 can complete stamping and other processes on the support rail 20; on the other hand, by setting a lifting drive assembly 450, the first support plate 460 is driven to rise to carry the carrier 30, so that there is a gap between the carrier 30 and the support rail 20; thereby, when the first drive assembly 430 drives the first support plate 460 to drive the carrier 30 to move, there is no friction between the carrier 30 and the support rail 20, thereby extending the life of the carrier 30.

[0050] See attached Figure 1, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the first support plate 460 has a bearing portion 461, and the bearing portion 461 is provided with a limiting structure for limiting the carrier 30 to the bearing portion 461. With such a setting, the limiting structure improves the stability of the carrier 30 during movement and the position accuracy of the movement of the carrier 30.

See the appendix Figure 2 As shown, the second direction is the Y direction.
