[0021] The two ends of the drive shaft 8 are fixedly connected with a crank 11, the end of the crank 11 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 12, and the top end of the connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting block 13. The connecting block 13 is provided with a protrusion 14, which is clamped between two symmetrically distributed rubber plugs 15. The rubber plugs 15 are fixedly provided on the conveying roller body 3.

[0022] The conveying roller body 3 is rotatably supported by a driving roller and a plurality of passive rollers. The driving roller and the plurality of passive rollers are evenly spaced. A roller motor 16 is provided on the conveying roller body 3. The output end of the roller motor 16 is connected to the driving roller. The driving roller and all the passive rollers are connected via a transmission belt mechanism.

[0023] A longitudinally distributed limit cylinder 17 is provided in one column 2, and a limit pin 18 is provided at the working end of the limit cylinder 17. The limit pin 18 is movably connected to a guide sleeve 19 provided inside the column 2. A limit block 20 is provided at the tail of the conveyor roller body 3 connected to the column 2. A limit hole 21 matching the limit pin 18 is opened on the limit block 20. When the conveyor roller body 3 is in a vertical state, the limit hole 21 is coaxial with the limit pin 18.

[0024] A column limiting bracket 22 is provided on the other column 2, and a first stop block 23 is provided at the end of the column limiting bracket 22. A roller body limiting bracket 24 is provided at the tail of the conveying roller body 3 connected to the column 2, and a second stop block 25 matching the first stop block 23 is provided at the end of the roller body limiting bracket 24. When the conveying roller body 3 is in a vertical state, the first stop block 23 and the second stop block 25 contact each other.

[0025] Two drive shaft connecting blocks 26 are provided on the drive shaft 8, and a first trigger plate 27 and a second trigger plate 32 are respectively provided on the two drive shaft connecting blocks 26. A first sensor 28 and a second sensor 29 are provided on the base 1. When the conveyor roller body 3 is in a horizontal state, the first trigger plate 27 can trigger the first sensor 28. When the conveyor roller body 3 is in a vertical state, the second trigger plate 32 can trigger the second sensor 29.

[0026] The working process of the foldable automobile battery conveying mechanism of the present utility model is as follows: in normal working state, the conveying roller body 3 is in a horizontal state, and an upper support block 30 is fixedly connected to its end. In this state, the upper support block 30 is placed on the lower support block 31 provided on the frame of the previous conveying mechanism, that is, the frame of the previous conveying mechanism supports the cantilever end of the conveying roller body 3 in this device;

[0027] The roller motor 16 works, driving all the passive rollers to rotate through the active roller and the transmission belt mechanism. The active roller and the passive roller exposed to the top surface of the conveying roller body 3 will drive the workpiece to move and transport the workpiece to the next station.

[0028] In the above case, the conveyor roller body 3 is horizontally distributed, the first trigger plate 27 can be detected by the first sensor 28, and the control system of the device determines that the device is in a normal working state;

[0029] If a fault occurs inside the closed-loop conveyor belt composed of the present device and needs to be repaired, the roller motor 16 is stopped first, and then a signal is sent to the flip motor 4 through the control system. The flip motor 4 works and drives the drive shaft 8 to rotate through the active toothed pulley 6, the toothed belt 10 and the passive toothed pulley 9. The rotation angle of the drive shaft 8 can be accurately controlled by controlling the number of rotations of the flip motor 4. When the drive shaft 8 rotates, the crank 11 at its end swings accordingly and pushes the connecting rod 12 to push up. The connecting rod 12 pushes the conveyor roller body 3 to swing upward. When the conveyor roller body 3 swings to a vertical state, the second stop block 25 on the roller body limit bracket 24 will contact the first stop block 23 on the column limit bracket 22. Under the limiting action of the two, the conveyor roller body 3 stops moving. At this time, the second sensor 29 detects the second trigger plate 32. After receiving the signal from the second sensor 29, the control system controls the flip motor 4 to stop working.

[0030] Then the control system sends a signal to the limit cylinder 17, and the limit cylinder 17 drives the limit pin 18 upward. Since the limit pin 18 and the limit hole 21 are in a coaxial state in this state, the limit pin 18 can move upward and insert into the limit hole 21 provided on the limit block 20. At this time, the conveyor roller body 3 and the column 2 are mechanically connected through the limit pin 18, which can further prevent the vertical conveyor roller body 3 from falling suddenly and eliminate safety hazards as much as possible.

[0031] After the maintenance work is completed, the limit pin 18 withdraws from the limit hole 21, the flip motor 4 rotates in the opposite direction, and the connecting rod 12 pulls the conveyor roller body 3 to swing downward until the upper support block 30 falls back onto the lower support block 31, the conveyor roller body 3 returns to the horizontal state, and the conveyor belt returns to the continuous closed loop state.

[0032] During the process of the connecting rod 12 being lifted upward, the protruding portion on the connecting block 13 is fixed to the conveyor roller body 3 by two symmetrically distributed rubber stoppers 15, that is, the connecting block 13 can make a certain displacement within the allowable range of the elastic deformation of the rubber stopper 15. The above structure realizes a flexible connection between the top end of the connecting rod 12 and the conveyor roller body 3, preventing the connecting rod 12 from getting stuck in the process of lifting the conveyor roller body 3, and ensuring that the conveyor roller body 3 can smoothly realize the folding and flipping actions.
