DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following is a further detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a docking platform includes a docking device 1, a centering device 2 and a conveying device 3 arranged in sequence along a first direction.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the docking device 1 includes a first roller conveyor assembly 11, a docking forward push assembly 12, and a first jacking assembly 13, which respectively drive the first roller conveyor assembly 11 in the horizontal and vertical directions. A height sensor 4 is provided at the front end of the first roller conveyor assembly 11. The first jacking assembly 13 detects the height of the incoming material based on the height sensor 4 and drives the first roller conveyor assembly 11 to rise and fall to match the height of the incoming material. The docking forward push assembly 12 then drives the first roller conveyor assembly 11 toward the incoming material, allowing the material to enter the first roller conveyor assembly 11 and be transported toward the centering device 2.

[0026] Specifically, the docking forward push assembly 12 includes a forward push base 121, on which a forward push guide mechanism 122 is laid along a first direction. The first roller transport assembly 11 is disposed on the forward push guide mechanism 122. A forward push driver 123 is provided parallel to the forward push guide mechanism 122 and connected to the first roller transport assembly 11. Driven by the forward push driver 123, the first roller transport assembly 11 moves along the forward push guide mechanism 122.

[0027] The first lifting assembly 13 includes a first lifting base 133, on which a first lifting guide mechanism 131 is vertically mounted. The forward-pushing base 121 is mounted on the first lifting guide mechanism 131. A first lifting actuator 132 is disposed parallel to the first lifting guide mechanism 131. The forward-pushing base 121 is vertically raised and lowered by the first lifting actuator 132. In this embodiment, the first lifting actuator 132 utilizes a screw mechanism driven by a drive motor.

[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the centering device 2 is used to receive and center the materials conveyed by the docking device 1, ensuring that the materials enter the conveying device 3 along a predetermined route. The centering device 2 includes a second roller conveyor assembly 21 corresponding to the first roller conveyor assembly 11. The second roller conveyor assembly 21 is provided with a centering mechanism 22. The centering mechanism 22 includes a centering base 221, a centering driver 222, and a pair of centering plates 223.

[0029] Among them, the centering base 221 is fixed under the second roller transport assembly 21, the bottom end of the centering plate 223 is slidably connected to the centering base through a centering guide mechanism, and the top end of the centering plate 223 passes through the second roller transport assembly 21 and is placed above the second roller transport assembly 21. A pair of centering plates 223 move closer to or away from each other along the centering guide mechanism under the drive of the centering driver 222, thereby forming a channel with a fixed center line for material to pass through.

[0030] In addition, to ensure that the second roller transport assembly 21 maintains the same height as the first roller transport assembly 11, the centering device 2 is further provided with a second lifting assembly 23. The second lifting assembly 23 includes a second lifting base, on which a second lifting guide mechanism 232 is vertically provided. The second roller transport assembly 21 is connected to the second lifting guide mechanism 232 and is vertically raised and lowered by a second lifting driver 231. In this embodiment, the second lifting driver 231 is a cam mechanism driven by a drive motor.

[0031] like Figure 5As shown, the conveying device 3 is equipped with a first conveying assembly 31 and a second conveying assembly 32, depending on the specifications of the incoming materials. The first conveying assembly 31 and the second conveying assembly 32 are arranged in pairs, with the first conveying assembly 31 disposed outside the second conveying assembly 32, and the top of the first conveying assembly 31 is higher than the top of the second conveying assembly 32. For smaller materials, both ends can be carried on the second conveying assembly 32. For larger materials, both ends can be carried on the first conveying assembly 31. Furthermore, the first conveying assembly 31 and the second conveying assembly 32 are driven by a conveyor driver 33.

[0032] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and they are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
