[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings only illustrate portions relevant to the present invention, not all of its components.
[0022] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "setting", "connection", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be a connection between the internal parts of two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood based on specific circumstances.
[0023] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 In this embodiment, a circular conveyor line assembly includes a rectangular circular line body 1 and a plurality of support members 2 arranged around the rectangular circular line body 1. The rectangular circular line body 1 includes a rectangular base plate 10, a transmission chain 11 arranged in a circle on the rectangular base plate 10, a guide rail 12 arranged on the rectangular base plate 10 and located outside the transmission chain 11, and a plurality of product carriers 13 connected to the transmission chain 11 and movably arranged on the guide rail 12. The product carriers 13 are used to carry products 100. Sprockets 14 are provided at the four corners of the rectangular base plate 10. The transmission chain 11 is mounted on the sprockets 14 to form a chain loop. A motor 3 is provided below the rectangular base plate 10. The sprocket 14 is connected to the output end of the motor 3 and is driven by the motor 3 to transmit the product. The transmission chain 11 drives the product carrier 13 to transmit the product in a circular manner. A protective cover 141 is provided on the outside of the sprocket 14. One to four motors 3 can be provided. In this embodiment, one motor is provided, connected to one of the end corner sprockets 14. The other three sprockets 14 rotate synchronously under the action of the transmission chain 11. Two rows of guide wheels 16 are arranged parallel to the bottom of the product carrier 13. The two rows of guide wheels 16 are respectively arranged in grooves on both sides of the guide rail 12. As the product carrier 13 moves, the guide wheels 16 roll in the grooves of the guide rail 12, increasing the stability of the product carrier 13 during transmission and preventing its position from deviating.
[0024] The product carrier frame 13 moves on the rectangular base plate 10 by chain drive. At least two-thirds of the product carrier frame 13 is located outside the rectangular base plate 10. The support members 2 are distributed on the movement trajectory of the outer edge of the product carrier frame 13 and are used to support the product carrier frame 13 suspended outside the rectangular base plate 10.
[0025] Specifically, refer to Figure 3The support member 2 includes a support rod 21, a mounting block 22, and a follower roller 23. The mounting block 22 is mounted at the top of the support rod 21. The follower roller 23 is movably mounted on the mounting block 22 via a connecting rod 24. The mounting block 22 is provided with a spring 25, and the connecting rod 24 compresses the spring 25 when it moves. When the product carrier 13 passes over the support member 2, the follower roller 23 contacts the bottom surface of the product carrier 13 and rolls with the movement of the product carrier 13, without interfering with the transportation of the product carrier 13. When the product carrier 13 is positioned, it supports the portion of the product carrier 13 that is suspended outside the rectangular base plate 10, preventing the product carrier from shaking, shifting, or deforming when other mechanisms apply force to the product on the product carrier at the operating station, which could affect operational accuracy. This ensures overall stability when other mechanisms operate on the product on the product carrier 13 at the fixed position.
[0026] Further references Figure 4 At the bottom edge of the product carrier frame 13, away from the transmission chain 11, is an equilateral trapezoidal block 15, its long side connected to the product carrier frame 13, with its short side facing downward. A follower roller 23 is positioned along the trajectory of the trapezoidal block 15. One end of a connecting rod 24 is hinged to one end of the mounting block 22 via a pin 26. The follower roller 23 is located at the other end of the connecting rod 24. A groove is defined in the middle of the connecting rod 24, which fits over a spring 25. As the product carrier frame 13 passes over the support member 2, the follower roller 23 rolls against the trapezoidal block 15 at its bottom, gently rolling along the sides of the block to its bottom. Combined with the cushioning provided by the spring 25, this ensures smooth and stable contact between the follower roller 23 and the product carrier frame 13, preventing the follower roller 23 from colliding with the product carrier frame 13.
[0027] Reference Figure 5-Figure 6 , a plurality of positioning windows 17 are provided on the rectangular base plate 10, and the support members 2 are provided corresponding to the positioning windows 17, and a group of support members 2 are provided corresponding to the outside of each positioning window 17. A positioning pin 18 is movably provided in the positioning window 17, and is movably engaged with the positioning groove 131 on the product carrier frame 13. The positioning pin 18 is driven to swing by a transmission shaft provided at the bottom of the rectangular base plate 10, and the transmission shaft is driven to rotate by a motor. When the product carrier frame is transferred to the operating station, the transmission shaft drives the positioning pin 18 to rotate and engage in the positioning groove 131 of the product carrier frame, further stabilizing the product carrier frame 13 at the station and improving the positioning accuracy. During the transposition and transmission process of the product carrier frame 13, the transmission shaft rotates under the drive of the motor or cylinder, driving the positioning pin 18 to rotate and move out of the positioning groove 131, which does not affect the transposition and transmission of the product carrier frame 13.
[0028] In addition, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present invention. The understanding of this specification should be based on technical personnel in the relevant technical field. Although this specification has described the present invention in detail with reference to the above embodiments, ordinary technical personnel in this field should understand that technical personnel in the relevant technical field can still modify or replace the present invention with equivalents, and all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be covered by the scope of the claims of the present invention.
