The second channel 420 transfers the object 200 from the third end 420a to the fourth end 420b. The transfer mechanism 400 can realize the conversion of the object 200 from multiple channels to fewer channels or a single channel, and has good transfer stability.

[0031] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , the first channel 410 and the transition channel 431 both extend in the second direction Y, which is convenient for the object 200 at the second end 410b of the first channel 410 to be transferred to the corresponding transition channel 431. The confluence channel 432 and the second channel 420 both extend in the first direction X, which is convenient for the first pusher 433 to move the plurality of objects 200 in the confluence channel 432 to the third end 420a of the second channel 420.

[0032] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , the first conversion component 430 includes a first support plate 435, a plurality of first retaining walls 436 and a second retaining wall 437. The plurality of first retaining walls 436 extend in the second direction Y and are arranged at intervals in the first direction X on the top surface of the first support plate 435. A transition channel 431 is formed on the top surface of the first support plate 435 between two adjacent first retaining walls 436. The second retaining wall 437 extends in the first direction X, and the paired second retaining walls 437 are arranged at intervals on the top surface of the first support plate 435.

Multiple transition channels 431 and one confluence channel 432 are correspondingly set. In order to enable the objects 200 on multiple first channels 410 to be converted to the second channel 420 through the first conversion component 430, the lengths of the transition channels 431 corresponding to different confluence channels 432 are different, and the lengths of the transition channels 431 corresponding to the same confluence channel 432 are the same.

[0034] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 3 , the quantity of the first channels 410 is 12, and the quantity of the second channels 420 is 4. The quantity of the transition channels 431 is 12, and the quantity of the confluence channels 432 is 4. Three first channels 410, three transition channels 431, one confluence channel 432, and one second channel 420 are correspondingly set. After the objects 200 on the 12 first channels 410 correspondingly enter the 12 transition channels 431, the objects 200 on every adjacent three transition channels 431 enter the same confluence channel 432 and then enter the same second channel 420. The objects 200 on the 12 first channels 410 are distributed to the 4 second channels 420.

[0035] Exemplarily, the quantity of the first channels 410 is 8, and the quantity of the second channels 420 is 2. The quantity of the transition channels 431 is 8, and the quantity of the confluence channels 432 is 2. Four first channels 410, four transition channels 431, one confluence channel 432, and one second channel 420 are correspondingly set. After the objects 200 on the 8 first channels 410 correspondingly enter the 8 transition channels 431, the objects 200 on every adjacent four transition channels 431 enter the same confluence channel 432 and then enter the same second channel 420. The objects 200 on the 8 first channels 410 are distributed to the 2 second channels 420.

The quantity of the transition channels 431 is 3, and the quantity of the confluence channels 432 is 1. Three first channels 410, three transition channels 431, one confluence channel 432, and one second channel 420 are correspondingly set. After the objects 200 on the 3 first channels 410 correspondingly enter the 3 transition channels 431, the objects 200 on the 3 transition channels 431 enter the same confluence channel 432 and then enter the same second channel 420. The objects 200 on the 3 first channels 410 converge to the 1 second channel 420.

[0037] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4, the first pusher 433 includes a first driving part 4331, a second driving part 4332 and a first pushing part 4333; the second driving part 4332 is installed on the first driving part 4331, and the first driving part 4331 can drive the second driving part 4332 to move along the first direction X; the first pushing part 4333 is installed on the second driving part 4332, and the second driving part 4332 can drive the first pushing part 4333 to move along the third direction Z, and the third direction Z is perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y respectively.

[0038] The combination of the first driving part 4331 and the second driving part 4332 can enable the first pushing part 4333 to move on the plane formed by the first direction X and the third direction Z, and adjust the position of the first pushing part 4333. When there are objects 200 at the positions of the confluence channel 432 corresponding to multiple transition channels 431, the second driving part 4332 can drive the first pushing part 4333 to rise to avoid the objects 200, and then the first driving part 4331 drives the second driving part 4332 and the first pushing part 4333 to move backward ( Figure 2 , Figure 4 move rightward in), then the second driving part 4332 drives the first pushing part 4333 to descend to the material pushing position, and finally the first driving part 4331 drives the second driving part 4332 and the first pushing part 4333 to move forward ( Figure 2 , Figure 4 move leftward in) to push all the objects 200 on the confluence channel 432 to the third end 420a of the second channel 420.

[0041] The first conveyor belt 411, the first driving device 412 and the plurality of first retaining ribs 413 are combined to form a plurality of parallel first channels 410. The first conveyor belt 411 driven by the first driving device 412 is a moving part, and the first retaining ribs 413 are stationary parts and are used to guide the object 200 to move along a predetermined route.

[0042] The first retaining rib 413 may be disposed above the first conveyor belt 411 through the first bracket 414 , so that the first retaining rib 413 and the first conveyor belt 411 are spaced apart from each other but not in contact.

[0043] Exemplarily, the first driving device 412 may include a motor and a gear set. Conveyor pulleys are respectively provided at both ends of the first conveyor belt 411, the output shaft of the motor is connected to a gear of the gear set, and another gear of the gear set and one of the conveyor pulleys are fixed to the same transmission rod. During operation, the motor drives the gear set, and the gear set drives a conveyor pulley to rotate, thereby driving the first conveyor belt 411 to move.

[0045] The second conveyor belt 421, the second driving device 422 and the second retaining rib 423 are combined to form a second channel 420. The second conveyor belt 421 driven by the second driving device 422 is a moving component, and the second retaining rib 423 is a stationary component and is used to guide the object 200 to move along a predetermined route.

[0046] The second retaining rib 423 may be disposed above the second conveyor belt 421 via a second bracket 424 , so that the second retaining rib 423 and the second conveyor belt 421 are spaced apart from each other but not in contact with each other.

[0047] Exemplarily, the second driving device 422 can be a combination of a motor and a synchronous pulley mechanism. Conveyor pulleys are respectively provided at both ends of the second conveyor belt 421, and one of the conveyor pulleys is fixed to the output shaft of the synchronous pulley mechanism. During operation, the motor drives the synchronous pulley mechanism to move, so that the output shaft of the synchronous pulley mechanism drives a conveyor pulley to rotate, thereby driving the second conveyor belt 421 to move.

[0049] A plurality of placement positions 4212 arranged along the length direction of the second conveyor belt 421 are demarcated by the plurality of limiting ribs 4211. When the first pusher 433 moves the object 200 on the confluence channel 432 to the third end 420a of the second channel 420, the first pusher 433 can push one object 200 on the confluence channel 432 into one placement position 4212 of the second channel 420 each time. The second channel 420 moves forward to vacate one placement position 4212, and then the first pusher 433 pushes one object 200 on the next confluence channel 432 into the next placement position 4212 of the second channel 420, so that one of every two placement positions 4212 on the second channel 420 has an object 200, that is, the distance between two adjacent objects 200 is one placement position 4212. Thus, the distance between two adjacent objects 200 on the second channel 420 is widened, which is convenient for arranging detection devices in the extending direction of the second channel 420 to detect the object 200.

[0050] When a detection device is arranged on the second channel 420, according to the moving speed of the second conveyor belt 421 and the detection duration of the detection device, every other predetermined time, the first pusher 433 pushes one object 200 on the confluence channel 432 to the third end 420a of the second channel 420 and locates it in the placement position 4212.

[0051] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 , first sensors 434 are respectively provided at the positions of the confluence channel 432 corresponding to a plurality of transition channels 431 for detecting the existence of an object 200 on the confluence channel 432. The first sensors 434 are used to detect whether there is an object 200 on the confluence channel 432. When there are objects 200 at the positions of the confluence channel 432 corresponding to the transition channels 431, the first pusher 433 is moved to the material deflecting position to prepare for pushing the object 200.

[0052] Exemplarily, the first sensor 434 can be a proximity sensor. The proximity sensor can be arranged on the second blocking wall 437 opposite to the outlet of the transition channel 431, and the proximity sensor is arranged facing the inside of the confluence channel 432.

It can realize the conversion of the object 200 from multiple channels to a single channel and has good transmission stability.
