Detailed Embodiments

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0030] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the term "and / or" in this article is only an associative relationship describing associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B may represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after without special explanation.

[0031] A conveyor belt is a commonly used industrial device for transporting products from one position to another. In a specific production line, the guiding of products is very crucial. Incorrect guiding may lead to product accumulation, sliding, or deviation from the predetermined path.

[0032] In traditional production lines, when transporting products of different sizes, the spacing of the guiding plates needs to be adjusted according to the size of the products. Currently, existing guiding devices can adjust the spacing of the guiding plates according to products of any size. However, for a production line with a small variety of product sizes, there is no need to arbitrarily adjust the guiding device, and the guiding device that can arbitrarily adjust the spacing of the guiding plates has a high cost.

[0033] For this reason, the present application provides a guiding mechanism and a conveying device. The guiding mechanism provided by the present application can achieve multi-point positioning of the guiding plates, and while reducing production costs, it can achieve the guiding of various products of different sizes. It can be understood that the guiding mechanism and the conveying device provided by the present application are used for guiding and transporting the batteries of consumer electronic products. In other embodiments, they can also be used for guiding and transporting other types of batteries and other products, which are not limited herein. The guiding mechanism and the conveying device provided by the present application will be described below.

[0034] Refer to Figure 1 , the guiding mechanism provided by the present application has a first direction X and a second direction Y that are perpendicular to each other. The guiding mechanism includes a base 10, and the base 10 is used to arrange a conveying component 20, and the conveying component 20 transports products along the first direction X. The conveying component 20 is specifically a conveyor belt in this embodiment. In other embodiments, the conveying component 20 can also be a conveying roller or a conveying chain, etc., which are not limited herein.

[0035] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The guide mechanism further includes a first baffle 30 and a second baffle 40, which are spaced apart along the second direction Y, and between which the conveying assembly 20 is arranged and cooperates to guide the product on the conveying assembly 20. The guide mechanism further includes a transmission assembly 50, which is arranged on the base 10, and includes a first driving source 510 and a second driving source 520, which are both connected to the first baffle 30 by transmission. The first driving source 510 and the second driving source 520 are configured to drive the first baffle 30 to move, so as to achieve the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 40 to move closer to or farther from each other; the first driving source 510 is configured to drive the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 40 to move and switch between the first position and the second position, and the second driving source 520 is configured to at least drive the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 40 to move to the third position, wherein the first position, the second position and the third position are different from each other. In this embodiment, the first position is specifically the maximum stroke position of the first driving source 510, the second position is specifically the minimum stroke position of the first driving source 510, the third position is specifically the maximum stroke position of the second driving source 520, and the third position is located between the first position and the second position.

[0036] By setting the first driving source 510, the first driving source 510 can drive the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 40 to move and switch between the first position and the second position, so that the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 40 can be positioned in the first position and the second position respectively, so that the two products of different sizes on the conveying assembly 20 can be guided. Furthermore, the present application sets the second driving source 520, and the second driving source 520 can drive the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 40 to move to the third position to guide the product of the third size. For production lines with fewer types of product sizes, there is no need to steplessly adjust the spacing between the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 40, which will cause the problem of high production costs. Therefore, the guiding device provided by the present application is set according to the product size type, which can not only guide a variety of products during the conveying process, but also reduce production costs.

[0037] It is understandable that the conveyor assembly 20 may be conveyed with products or with a tray carrying products, and multiple products may be arranged on each tray, which is not limited here. In addition, in the present embodiment, the first driving source 510 and the second driving source 520 are both driving cylinders, and the first driving source 510 and the second driving source 520 are both arranged toward the conveyor assembly 20, and the first driving source 510 and the second driving source 520 are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveyor assembly 20 along the second direction Y. In other embodiments, the first driving source 510 and the second driving source 520 may also be arranged on the same side of the conveyor assembly 20, and the positioning of products of various sizes may be achieved by adjusting the stroke and position of the first driving source 510 and / or the second driving source 520.

[0038] For details, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the transmission assembly 50 includes a gear 530, a first rack 540 and a second rack 550. The gear 530 is mounted on the base 10, and the axis of the gear 530 is arranged perpendicular to the base 10. The first rack 540 is in transmission connection with the first baffle 30, and the second rack 550 is in transmission connection with the second baffle 40. The gear 530 is meshed with the first rack 540 and the second rack 550. Under the driving action of the first driving source 510 or the second driving source 520, the first rack 540 and the second rack 550 are moved closer to or farther from each other, thereby moving the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 40 closer to or farther from each other.

[0039] Specifically, the first driving source 510 is fixedly connected to one end of the first rack 540, and the first driving source 510 drives the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 40 to move and switch between the first position and the second position through the first rack 540. A push block 541 is fixed to the bottom of the other end of the first rack 540, and the second driving source 520 pushes the first rack 540 to move through the push block 541, so as to drive the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 40 to move to the third position.

[0040] The first driving source 510 or the second driving source 520 drives the first rack 540 and the first baffle 30 to move, the first rack 540 drives the gear 530 to rotate, the gear 530 drives the second rack 550 and moves in the opposite direction of the first rack 540, thereby driving the second baffle 40 to move in the opposite direction of the first baffle 30, thereby achieving the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 40 to move closer to or farther from each other. The first rack 540 drives the gear 530 to rotate, and the gear 530 drives the second rack 550 to move to adjust the distance between the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 40, and the linkage method is simple and easy to operate.

[0041] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4, a first guiding component 60 is provided at the bottom of the first baffle 30. The first guiding component 60 includes a first sliding rail 610 and a first sliding plate 620. The first sliding rail 610 is installed on the base 10, and the first baffle 30 is installed on the first sliding plate 620. The first sliding rail 610 is arranged along the second direction Y, and the first sliding plate 620 is slidably installed on the first sliding rail 610, so that the first sliding plate 620 can slide along the second direction Y on the first sliding rail 610. Similarly, a second guiding component 70 is provided at the bottom of the second baffle 40. The second guiding component 70 includes a second sliding rail 710 and a second sliding plate 720. The second sliding rail 710 is installed on the base 10, and the second baffle 40 is installed on the second sliding plate 720. The second sliding rail 710 is arranged along the second direction Y, and the second sliding plate 720 is slidably installed on the second sliding rail 710, so that the second sliding plate 720 can slide along the second direction Y on the second sliding rail 710.

[0042] By providing the first guiding component 60 and the second guiding component 70, the first guiding component 60 can provide support and guidance during the movement of the first baffle 30, and the second guiding component 70 can provide support and guidance during the movement of the second baffle 40, so that the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 40 remain stable during the movement, achieving a good guiding effect on the product.

[0043] Furthermore, the transmission component 50 is arranged on the side close to the conveying component 20 relative to the base 10, and the conveying component 20 is arranged on the side far from the base 10 relative to the transmission component 50. That is to say, both the transmission component 50 and the conveying component 20 are arranged on the same side of the base 10. When the first driving source 510 or the second driving source 520 or the transmission component 50 fails, it is convenient to replace or repair the first driving source 510 or the second driving source 520 or the transmission component 50, facilitating the maintenance operation.

[0044] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , first guiding pieces 310 are provided on the first baffle 30. The first guiding pieces 310 are arranged on both sides of the first baffle 30 along the first direction X, that is, the first guiding pieces 310 are arranged at the feeding end and the discharging end of the first baffle 30. The side of the first guiding piece 310 far from the first baffle 30 is inclined away from the conveying component 20 relative to the first direction X. Similarly, second guiding pieces 320 are provided on the second baffle 40. The second guiding pieces 320 are arranged on both sides of the second baffle 40 along the first direction X, that is, the second guiding pieces 320 are arranged at the feeding end and the discharging end of the second baffle 40. The side of the first guiding piece 310 far from the first baffle 30 is inclined away from the conveying component 20 relative to the first direction X. By providing the first guiding pieces 310 and the second guiding pieces 320, when loading and unloading the products on the conveying component 20, collisions between the baffles and the products can be avoided as much as possible.

[0045] Specifically, the first baffle 30 includes a first connecting portion 31, a first bending portion 32 and a first guiding portion 33. The first connecting portion 31 is connected to the first slide 620, the first bending portion 32 is connected to a side of the first connecting portion 31 away from the first slide 620, and the first guiding portion 33 is connected to a side of the first bending portion 32 away from the first connecting portion 31. Similarly, the second baffle 40 includes a second connecting portion 41, a second bending portion 42 and a second guiding portion 43. The second connecting portion 41 is connected to the second slide 720, the second bending portion 42 is connected to a side of the second connecting portion 41 away from the second slide 720, the second guiding portion 43 is connected to a side of the second bending portion 42 away from the second connecting portion 41, and the first guiding portion 33 and the second guiding portion 43 cooperate to guide the product.

[0046] Since the first baffle 30 includes the first connecting portion 31, the first bending portion 32 and the first guiding portion 33, the first baffle 30 is arranged in a stepped shape, which can enhance the structural strength of the first baffle 30 and avoid deformation of the first baffle 30 during use. Similarly, the second baffle 40 is arranged in a stepped shape, which helps to enhance the structural strength of the second baffle 40 and avoid deformation of the second baffle 40 during use.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first rack 540 is detachably connected to the first slide plate 620, and the second rack 550 is detachably connected to the second slide plate 720. Thus, by replacing the first rack 540 and the second rack 550 of different lengths, the first baffle plate 30 and the second baffle plate 40 can be adjusted to different distances, so as to adapt to other products of different sizes.

[0048] In other embodiments, the first baffle 30 is detachably connected to the first slide plate 620, and the second baffle 40 is detachably connected to the second slide plate 720. This facilitates replacement of the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 40, and allows selection of baffles of appropriate sizes according to different heights of products on the conveying assembly 20 to improve the applicability of the guide device, which is not limited here.

[0049] The present application further provides a conveying device, which includes the above-mentioned guiding mechanism and a conveying component. In the conveying device provided by the present application, by providing a first driving source 510, the first driving source 510 can drive the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 40 to move and switch between a first position and a second position, so as to be able to respectively position the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 40 at the first position and the second position, and thus be able to guide two different-sized products on the conveying component 20. Further, in the present application, by providing a second driving source 520, the second driving source 520 can drive the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 40 to move to a third position to realize the guiding of a product of a third size. For a production line with a small variety of product sizes, there is no need to perform stepless adjustment on the distance between the first baffle 30 and the second baffle 40, and stepless adjustment will cause the problem of high production costs. Therefore, the guiding device provided by the present application is set according to the variety of product sizes, which can not only realize the guiding of multiple products during the conveying process, but also reduce the production cost.

[0050] As described above, it is only a partial implementation manner of the embodiments of the present application, and does not impose any form of limitation on this application. The protection scope of the embodiments of the present application is not limited thereto. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the technical field of the present application within the technical scope disclosed in the embodiments of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.
