[0039] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] See also Figures 1-9 The utility model provides a technical solution: a connecting rod logistics caching and conveying device, including a frame 1, with power shafts rotatably connected on both sides of the frame 1, each power shaft is installed with a sprocket, and the two sprockets are connected by a chain unit 6, and a motor 3 for driving one of the power shafts to rotate is provided on the frame 1; it also includes multiple groups of mounting plates 4 for mounting workpiece bodies 5, each mounting plate 4 is mounted on the chain unit 6 through a corresponding mounting piece; a positioning mechanism for fixing the workpiece body 5 is provided on the mounting plate 4; the workpiece body 5 includes a rod body and a rod head, and the positioning mechanism includes a first positioning portion for positioning the rod head, and also includes a second positioning portion for positioning the rod body.

[0041] Specifically, the connecting rod logistics buffer conveying device includes a frame 1, and the two sides of the frame 1 are respectively connected to a power shaft for rotation. A sprocket is installed on each power shaft, and the two sprockets are connected by a chain unit 6. The frame 1 is provided with a motor 3 for driving one of the power shafts to rotate. At this moment, when the conveying device needs to be used, the motor 3 is started, and the motor 3 will drive the sprocket to rotate through the power shaft, so that the chain unit 6 slides on the frame 1 to facilitate the conveying of the workpiece. It also includes multiple groups of mounting plates 4 for mounting the workpiece body 5, each mounting plate 4 is respectively mounted on the chain unit 6 through a corresponding mounting piece, and when the chain unit 6 moves, it drives the mounting plate 4 to slide to realize the conveying of the workpiece body 5. The mounting plate 4 is provided with a positioning mechanism for fixing the workpiece body 5. The positioning mechanism can limit the workpiece body 5 to the mounting plate 4, avoiding the risk of shaking or even falling off of the workpiece body 5 during the conveying, thereby improving the practicality of the conveying device. The workpiece body 5 includes a rod body and a rod head. Specifically, when the workpiece body 5 is not connected, the rod head and the rod body are in a separated state. The positioning mechanism includes a first positioning portion for positioning the rod head and a second positioning portion for positioning the rod body. Therefore, when the workpiece body 5 needs to be transported, the workpiece body 5 is installed at a predetermined position.
