[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with 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 belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0022] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the term "and / or" herein is only a description of the association relationship of 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 " / " herein generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after without special explanation.

[0023] The following will elaborate on the technical solution of this application in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-5 drawings in detail.

[0024] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a connector transportation device provided for this application has intersecting first direction X and second direction Z. It includes a base 1, a linear vibration track 2 and a bracket 4 provided on the base 1.

[0025] Among them, the linear vibration track 2 extends along the first direction X, and an open transportation groove 3 is provided on the linear vibration track 2, and the transportation groove 3 extends along the first direction X. It can be understood that the linear vibration track 2 refers to a part of a linear vibration disk, and the product is vibrated and transported along the first direction X in the transportation groove 3.

[0026] The linear vibration disk is a common vibration device, often used in industrial applications such as material conveying, screening, and separation. Its working principle is based on the rotational motion of the motor and the generation of centrifugal force. The linear vibration disk usually consists of a motor, a vibrator, and a workbench. The motor converts the rotational motion into the vibration motion of the vibrator through a transmission device. The vibrator usually consists of a centrifugal shaft and an eccentric block. When the motor rotates, the eccentric block generates centrifugal force, causing the vibrator to vibrate. When the motor operates and the vibrator starts to vibrate, the workbench will also vibrate accordingly, causing the material on the workbench to vibrate. This vibration can cause the material to roll, flip, separate, etc., so as to achieve the transportation, screening, or separation of the material.

[0027] Specifically, a vibration module 12, a counterweight 13, and a base 14 are provided between the linear vibration track 2 and the base 1. Among them, the base 14 is bolted and fixed to the base 1, the counterweight 13 is fixed to the side surface of the base 14 facing away from the base 1, one end of the counterweight 13 is provided as a plate shape, and the other end is a solid block structure, and the vibration module 12 is arranged on the surface of the plate-shaped end of the counterweight 13. A shock pad 15 is also provided between the base 14 and the counterweight 13. In an optional example, the vibration module 12 can be a vibration coil, a vibration motor, etc.

[0028] The bracket 4 is located on one side of the linear vibration track 2 along the first direction X. It should be noted that the bracket 4 can also be arranged on both sides of the linear vibration track 2 along the first direction X.

[0029] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4, the support 4 specifically includes a top plate 41, an intermediate plate 42, and a bottom plate 43 that are sequentially arranged and connected to each other along the second direction Z; wherein, the intermediate plate 42 extends along the second direction Z, and in the second direction Z, the top plate 41 and the bottom plate 43 are respectively arranged at both ends of the intermediate plate 42. Specifically, in one example, the intermediate plate 42 is parallel to the first direction X, and the top plate 41 and the bottom plate 43 are perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0030] It should be noted that the shape of the support 4 can also be other structural forms in some alternative embodiments, such as H-shaped, I-shaped, etc.

[0031] Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , and further includes an auxiliary component 5, and the auxiliary component 5 is arranged on the support 4. Specifically, the auxiliary component 5 is arranged on the top plate 41, and the bottom plate 43 is connected to the base 1.

[0032] The auxiliary component 5 includes a rotatably arranged sleeve 51, a brush 52 arranged on the circumferential side wall of the sleeve 51, and a driving member 53 for driving the sleeve 51 to rotate; wherein, the sleeve 51 is arranged relative to the open end, and a part of the brush 52 extends into the transportation groove 3 so that the brush 52 abuts against the connector.

[0033] Specifically, the driving member 53 is set as a servo motor, the driving member 53 is bolted to the top plate 41 through a fourth bolt 9, the output shaft of the driving member 53 penetrates the top plate 41 along the first direction X, and the sleeve 51 is fixed outside the output shaft of the driving member 53.

[0034] In the solution of the present application, the auxiliary component 5 is adopted to assist in transporting the products in the linear vibration track 2, so as to improve the transportation efficiency of the products. The specific working principle of the auxiliary component 5 is: the driving member 53 drives the sleeve 51 to rotate, and then drives the brush 52 to rotate. The edge part of the brush 52 away from the sleeve 51 contacts the product, and the product can be pushed along the first direction X by relying on the frictional force, which makes the transportation of the product in the linear vibration track 2 more efficient, thereby improving the transportation efficiency; the contact between the brush 52 and the product will not cause damage to the product, and the noise pollution is well controlled; and the cost of the entire set of auxiliary component 5 is low, and the installation is simple and convenient.

[0035] Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , as one of the alternative embodiments of the present application, the sleeve 51 is detachably arranged outside the output shaft of the driving member 53. More specifically, a locking bolt 10 is vertically penetrated through the sleeve 51 along its own axis, and a locking groove 530 is arranged on the outer side wall of the output shaft of the driving member 53, and the locking bolt 10 is arranged in plug-in fit with the locking groove 530.

[0036] It should be noted that only one pair of locking bolts 10 and locking grooves 530 are provided in the embodiment of the present application. However, in other alternative examples, multiple pairs can also be provided to further improve the connection stability between the sleeve 51 and the output shaft of the driving member 53.

[0037] In the solution of the present application, during the long-term use of the brush 52, problems such as the softness, frictional resistance, and length dimension of the brush 52 may occur due to wear, pollution, etc. This will directly affect the driving force of the brush 52 on the product, resulting in the auxiliary transportation effect not meeting the expectations. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the detachable connection between the sleeve 51 and the output shaft of the driving member 53 is realized through the locking bolt 10. After the brush 52 is used for a period of time, it is effectively convenient to replace the brush 52 to ensure the reliable auxiliary pushing function of the auxiliary component 5 and the reliability of the transportation device.

[0038] Back to Figure 3 As one of the alternative embodiments of the present application, it further includes a first bolt 6 and a second bolt 7. The top plate 41 is bolted to the middle plate 42 through the first bolt 6, and the bottom plate 43 is bolted to the middle plate 42 through the second bolt 7. By bolt-connecting the top plate 41 to the middle plate 42 and the bottom plate 43 to the middle plate 42, the bracket 4 is designed as a conveniently assembled load-bearing structure, which greatly facilitates the maintenance and repair of the auxiliary component 5 and is also relatively simple and convenient during the disassembly and assembly process.

[0039] Back to Figure 3 As one of the alternative embodiments of the present application, it further includes a third bolt 8. A strip-shaped hole 430 is formed on the bottom plate 43, and the third bolt 8 passes through the strip-shaped hole 430 and is bolted to the base 1, wherein the strip-shaped hole 430 extends in the direction towards the transportation groove 3.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, when the contact depth between the brush 52 and the product is different, the frictional force generated by the contact between the brush 52 and the product during rotation will be different, and then the driving force provided by the brush 52 to the product will also be different. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, by setting the strip-shaped hole 430 on the bottom plate 43 in cooperation with the third bolt 8, the distance between the bracket 4 and the transportation groove 3 can be adjusted, thereby the distance between the brush 52 and the product can be adjusted, and further the contact force between the brush 52 and the product can be adjusted, and the driving force of the brush 52 on the product can be adjusted, which enables the transportation device to be more flexibly adapted to different usage requirements.

[0041] In one example, at least two third bolts 8 are provided, and the third bolts 8 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the elongated hole 430. Providing at least two third bolts 8 improves the stability of the connection between the bottom plate 43 and the base 1 on the one hand. Since the motor drives the brush 52 to rotate, when the brush 52 abuts against the connector, a driving force along the first direction X is generated on the product. At the same time, the product will also generate an opposite acting force on the brush 52 and the bracket 4. Therefore, more than two third bolts 8 can ensure the reliability of the connection between the bracket 4 and the base 1.

[0042] Return to Figure 2 , as an optional embodiment of the present application, it further includes a detection component 11. The detection component 11 includes a transmitter 111 and a receiver 112. The transmitter 111 and the receiver 112 are respectively arranged on both sides of the linear vibration track 2 along the first direction X. The detection component 11 can detect whether the product in the transport tank 3 meets the requirements, thereby providing a judgment basis for the operation of the auxiliary component 5.

[0043] As described above, only some implementation manners of the embodiments of the present application are provided, and there is no limitation in any form to this application. The protection scope of the embodiments of the present application is not limited thereto. Any simple modification, equivalent change and modification that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the technical field of the present application within the technical scope disclosed by the embodiments of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.
