The loading and unloading conveyor belt mechanism 120 of each conveying channel unit 102 can convey materials to the transition conveyor belt mechanism 130, and can also allow the transition conveyor belt mechanism 130 to convey materials to the loading and unloading conveyor belt mechanism 120.

[0031] Moreover, if Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the channel switching conveying assembly 200 may include a switching conveying frame 210 provided at the switching end of the conveying channel frame 110 of multiple conveying channel units 102, a switching drive structure 220 provided on the switching conveying frame 210, and a switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 connected to the switching drive structure 220, the switching drive structure 220 is used to drive the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 to move back and forth between the ends of the transition conveyor belt mechanisms 130 of the multiple conveying channel units 102, and the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 is used to dock with the transition conveyor belt mechanism 130 of one of the multiple conveying channel units 102 front and back.

[0032] By providing a material conveying channel assembly 100 having a plurality of conveying channel units 102 arranged side by side, materials of different types or sizes (i.e., a variety of flexible plate products) can be conveyed through different conveying channel units 102; and by providing a channel switching conveying assembly 200 having a movable switching conveyor belt mechanism 230, the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 can be moved so that the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 can be docked with the transition conveyor belt mechanism 130 of different conveying channel units 102, so that various flexible plate products can be conveyed to the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 through different conveying channel units 102, and then conveyed to the flexible plate processing equipment through the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230; or, by moving the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 so that the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 can be docked with the transition conveyor belt mechanism 130 of different conveying channel units 102, so that various flexible plate products can be conveyed to the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 after being processed by the flexible plate processing equipment, and then conveyed to different conveying channel units 102 through the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230. In this way, when loading and unloading a variety of flexible board products, the switching line can be automatically realized without manual work. The loading and unloading of different flexible board products can be automatically switched. The switching is fast and convenient, which can greatly improve production efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, each conveying channel unit 102 of the material conveying channel assembly 100 may include a plurality of loading and unloading conveyor belt mechanisms 120 vertically arranged side by side at the loading and unloading ends of the conveying channel frame 110.

[0034] Furthermore, the material conveying channel assembly 100 can be used in conjunction with an automated guided vehicle (AGV). The AGV can automatically transport materials to the loading and unloading conveyor belt mechanism 120, or it can remove materials from the loading and unloading conveyor belt mechanism 120, enabling unmanned loading and unloading. Furthermore, the AGV can automatically store materials in the material bin 140 and then transport the entire material bin 140 to the loading and unloading conveyor belt mechanism 120. Furthermore, the material bin 140 can receive materials delivered from the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 on the transition conveyor belt structure 134, and transport the filled material bin 140 to the loading and unloading conveyor belt mechanism 120.

[0035] In addition, the transition conveyor belt mechanism 130 may include a conveyor belt lifting and driving structure 132 provided on the conveyor channel frame 110, and a transition conveyor belt structure 134 provided on the conveyor belt lifting and driving structure 132. The conveyor belt lifting and driving structure 132 is used to lift and drive the transition conveyor belt structure 134 to dock with one of the multiple loading and unloading conveyor belt mechanisms 120, and to dock with the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230. The conveyor belt lifting and driving structure 132 can drive the transition conveyor belt structure 134 to move up and down, so that the transition conveyor belt structure 134 can dock with each loading and unloading conveyor belt mechanism 120 at different heights of the conveyor channel unit 102, and can also dock with the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230.

[0036] Furthermore, the conveyor belt lifting drive structure 132 may include a conveyor belt lifting drive motor mounted on the conveyor channel frame 110, and a conveyor belt lifting transmission structure connected to the conveyor belt lifting drive motor.

The switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 is slidably provided on the conveying slide 222 and connected to the linear switching drive member 224. The conveying slide 222 is transversely provided at the switching end of the conveying channel frame 110 of the plurality of conveying channel units 102. The linear switching drive member 224 can drive the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 to reciprocate along the conveying slide 222 on the switching conveying frame 210, so that the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 can reciprocate between the ends of the transition conveyor belt structures 134 of the plurality of conveying channel units 102 provided side by side, thereby allowing the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 to dock with different transition conveyor belt structures 134.

[0038] Furthermore, if Figure 5As shown, the linear switching drive member 224 may include a switching drive motor 2242 disposed on the switching conveyor frame 210, and a switching transmission belt structure 2244 connected to the switching drive motor 2242. The switching transmission belt structure 2244 is disposed linearly between the switching ends of the conveyor channel frame 110 of the multiple conveyor channel units 102, and the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 is disposed on the switching transmission belt structure 2244. The switching drive motor 2242 can drive the switching transmission belt structure 2244 to operate, thereby driving the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230, which is connected to the switching transmission belt structure 2244, to reciprocate between the ends of the transition conveyor belt structures 134 of the multiple conveyor channel units 102. Furthermore, the switching transmission belt structure 2244 transmits power to the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 quickly and efficiently. Specifically, the switching transmission belt structure 2244 may include a transmission pulley at each end of the switching conveyor frame 210, and a synchronous transmission belt mounted on the two transmission pulleys. The output end of the switching drive motor 2242 is connected to a transmission pulley, and the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 can be connected to the synchronous transmission belt.

[0039] In this embodiment, the switching drive structure 220 may include two conveyor rails 222 arranged side by side on the switching conveyor frame 210, and two linear switching drive members 224 arranged side by side between the two conveyor rails 222.

The synchronous belt conveyor element 235 on each of the first and second conveyor brackets 233, 234 allows materials placed on the two synchronous belt conveyor elements 235 to be conveyed in the same direction as the transition conveyor belt structure 134. Furthermore, the conveyor belt spacing adjustment structure 236 allows the spacing between the two conveyor brackets to be adjusted, thereby making the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 suitable for flexible board products of different sizes and types.

[0041] Furthermore, the conveyor belt spacing adjustment structure 236 may include a first adjustment drive motor mounted on the first conveyor bracket 233, a first drive screw connected to the first adjustment drive motor, and a first transmission nut connected to the first drive screw, with the first transmission nut being mounted on the second conveyor bracket 234.

[0042] In addition, the switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 may also include an intermediate transfer material receiving structure 238 that is slidably arranged side by side between the first conveying bracket 233 and the second conveying bracket 234.

[0047] In addition, the channel switching conveyor assembly 200 may include two switching conveyor belt mechanisms 230 connected to the switching drive structure 220, wherein the intermediate transfer material receiving structure 238 of one switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 is disposed near the transition conveyor belt mechanism 130, and the intermediate transfer material receiving structure 238 of the other switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 is disposed away from the transition conveyor belt mechanism 130. By providing two switching conveyor belt mechanisms 230, one switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 is used to receive materials from the transition conveyor belt mechanism 130, and the other switching conveyor belt mechanism 230 is used to receive materials from the flexible plate processing equipment.

[0048] Furthermore, the channel switching conveyor assembly 200 may include a switching visual inspection mechanism 240 disposed on top of the switching conveyor frame 210.
