The height of the blanking slope on one side of the first transportation line is greater than the height of the blanking slope on one side of the second transportation line. The moving mechanism is used to move the materials on the first transportation line to the transfer device.

[0006] For an automated transportation device as described above, the first transportation line includes a plurality of rollers, and adjacent two rollers are arranged at intervals.

[0026] The present utility model provides the following description with reference to the drawings to help a comprehensive understanding of various embodiments of the present utility model as defined by the claims and their equivalents. The description includes various specific details to facilitate understanding, but these details should be regarded as merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the various embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present utility model.

[0027] In the description of the present utility model, the orientation description is involved. For example, the orientation or positional relationship indicated by up, down, front, back, left, right, etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for facilitating the description of 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 construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0028] It should be understood that when an element (for example, the first element) is "connected" to another element (for example, the second element), the element can be directly connected to the other element, or there can be an intermediate element (for example, the third element) between the element and the other element.

[0029] An embodiment of the present utility model provides an automated transportation device, including a first transportation line 1, a second transportation line 2 and a moving mechanism 4. A transfer device 3 for transferring materials is arranged between the first transportation line 1 and the second transportation line 2. A blanking inclined plane 301 is arranged on the transfer device 3, and the height of the blanking inclined plane 301 on one side of the first transportation line 1 is greater than the height of the blanking inclined plane 301 on one side of the second transportation line 2. The moving mechanism 4 is used to move the materials on the first transportation line 1 to the transfer device 3.

[0030] After the materials on the first transportation line 1 reach a predetermined position, the moving mechanism 4 moves the materials to the blanking inclined plane 301 of the transfer device 3, and the materials slide down to the second transportation line 2 under the action of gravity.

[0031] This automated transportation device can transport goods such as columns.

[0032] In some embodiments, the first transportation line 1 includes a plurality of rollers 102, and adjacent two rollers 102 are arranged at intervals.

[0033] The first conveyor line 1 is the part where materials enter the system and is composed of a series of rollers 102 arranged in parallel. The rollers 102 can rotate continuously or intermittently to push the materials forward. After being processed by the transfer device 3, the materials are transferred to the second conveyor line 2.

[0034] The second conveyor line 2 can also be a roller type, belt type or other suitable conveying method, and is used to send the materials to the next processing link or storage area.

[0035] The transfer device 3 is located between the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 and is used to move the materials. The transfer device 3 is designed such that its position on the side of the first conveyor line 1 is higher than that on the side of the second conveyor line 2, so that gravity can be utilized to help the materials smoothly transition to the second conveyor line 2.

[0036] Furthermore, the moving mechanism 4 includes a lifting device 41 for lifting the materials to the transfer device 3 and a driving device 42 for lifting the lifting device 41.

[0037] The lifting device 41 is a part of the moving mechanism 4 and is used to vertically move the materials, lifting them from the lower first conveyor line 1 to the higher transfer device 3.

[0038] In some embodiments, the moving mechanism 4 includes a push rod device for pushing the materials to the transfer device 3.

[0039] The push rod device is a part of the moving mechanism 4 and is used to push the materials from the first conveyor line 1 to the transfer device 3. The push rod device can be mechanical, such as a piston or cylinder driven by a motor, or a pneumatic push rod driven by compressed air.

[0040] The driving device 42 can be electric, such as a servo motor cooperating with a gear system, or a hydraulic and pneumatic system, depending on the required force and control accuracy.

[0041] Furthermore, the lifting device 41 is arranged below the first conveyor line 1. The lifting device 41 includes a lifting frame 401 that moves in the vertical direction. The lifting frame 401 includes a rectangular base 402. Fixed rods 403 are provided on both sides of the rectangular base 402 along the extending direction of its length. Tilted rods 404 that can pass through the space between two adjacent rollers 102 are installed on the fixed rods 403. The tilt direction of the tilted rods 404 is the same as the tilt direction of the material falling slope 301.

[0042] The lifting device 41 is designed below the first transportation line 1 to perform a lifting operation when the material moves to the appropriate position. The lifting frame 401 includes a rectangular base 402, which provides a stable support platform for the lifting frame 401. Fixed rods 403 are provided on both sides of the rectangular base 402, and these fixed rods 403 are used to install the inclined rods 404 and provide the necessary structural strength. The inclination direction of the inclined rod 404 is the same as that of the blanking inclined plane 301, which ensures that the material can be smoothly transferred from the roller 102 transportation line to the blanking inclined plane 301.

[0043] Furthermore, a clearance groove 302 penetrating vertically up and down is provided on one side of the transfer device 3 located on one side of the first transportation line 1. When the lifting frame 401 moves vertically upward, the inclined rod 404 reaches the blanking inclined plane 301 through the clearance groove 302.

[0044] The size and shape of the clearance groove 302 are precisely designed according to the dimensions of the inclined rod 404 and the movement trajectory of the lifting frame 401 to ensure that the inclined rod 404 can pass safely when the lifting frame 401 rises. When the control system triggers the lifting action, the lifting frame 401 moves upward in the vertical direction, pushing the inclined rod 404 to rise. Driven by the lifting frame 401, the inclined rod 404 passes through the clearance groove 302 and smoothly transfers the material from the first transportation line 1 to the blanking inclined plane 301. The movement of the inclined rod 404 and the setting of the clearance groove 302 ensure that the inclined rod 404 can be accurately aligned with the blanking inclined plane 301, thus realizing the smooth transfer of the material.

[0045] In some embodiments, the lifting device 41 further includes a frame 43 for supporting the lifting frame 401. Both sides of the frame 43 are respectively connected to both sides of the lifting frame 401 through a double-link structure 405.

[0046] The frame 43 is a key component of the lifting device 41, providing the necessary support and structural strength to maintain the stability of the lifting frame 401. The double-link structure 405 consists of two connecting rods and a hinge point, allowing the lifting frame 401 to move in a direction perpendicular to the first transportation line 1. The double-link structure 405 includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod, which are connected to the side wall of the frame 43 through a hinge at one end and to the lifting frame 401 through a hinge at the other end. Through the double-link structure 405, the load on the lifting frame 401 can be evenly distributed to the frame 43, reducing the stress on individual components. The double-link structure 405 allows the two sides of the lifting frame 401 to move synchronously, providing a uniform lifting force and avoiding material tilt or damage caused by uneven forces.

[0047] In some embodiments, the driving device 42 is installed in the middle of the frame 43 and connected to the lifting device 41.

[0048] In some embodiments, a stopper 201 for preventing materials from rolling off the second conveyor line 2 is provided on the second conveyor line 2.

[0049] The stopper 201 is installed on the second conveyor line 2 and is usually located at the edge where the materials may roll or slide off. The main function of the stopper 201 is to prevent the materials from rolling or sliding out of the conveyor line during transportation, avoiding material loss and potential safety risks. The stopper 201 can be straight-edged, curved, or have a specific shape to adapt to materials of different widths and shapes. The material of the stopper 201 should be strong enough to withstand the impact and wear of the materials without damaging the materials. Some stoppers 201 may be designed to be adjustable to adapt to materials of different sizes and shapes or to be adjusted according to changes in the production line.

[0050] In some embodiments, a sensor 101 for detecting the position of the materials is provided on the first conveyor line 1 or the second conveyor line 2.

[0051] Multiple types of sensors 101 can be used, such as photoelectric sensors 101, infrared sensors 101, ultrasonic sensors 101, or weighing sensors 101, and a suitable sensor 101 is selected according to the detection requirements and material characteristics. The sensor 101 monitors the position of the materials in real time, ensures that the materials move along the predetermined path, and triggers corresponding control actions when necessary.

[0052] In some embodiments, the roller 102 includes a rotating shaft and two rollers sleeved on the rotating shaft. Both rollers are frustum-shaped and are spaced a preset distance apart. In the direction of approaching each other, the outer diameters of the two rollers gradually decrease.

[0053] The frustum shape design can provide additional support and stability. The length of the roller 102 can be adjusted according to the width of the conveyor line and the type of materials to adapt to different application scenarios.

[0054] The terms and words used in the above description and claims are not limited to their literal meanings, but are only used by the applicant to enable a clear and consistent understanding of the present utility model. Therefore, those skilled in the art should clearly understand that the above description of various embodiments of the present utility model is only for illustration and not for limiting the present utility model as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
