[0052] In related technologies, during material processing, a conveying system needs to transfer materials along different transport lines. When the gripper mechanisms corresponding to two adjacent transport lines move to the same position, the gripper mechanism holding the material releases the material under the control of a servo motor. The gripper corresponding to the downstream transport line then tightens under the control of a servo motor to grab the material, achieving smooth transfer. This requires an additional control system to connect the corresponding grippers to control the release and tightening of the grippers, making the conveying system structure relatively complex.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, an abutment member 200 is provided between two adjacent transport lines 100. The clamping jaw mechanisms 130 corresponding to the two transport lines 100 can loosen and clamp the clamping portion 130a by abutting and disengaging with the abutment member 200, without the need for an additional control system, and the structure of the conveying system is relatively simple.

[0054] This application provides a delivery system, please refer to Figures 1 to 8 The conveying system includes at least two transport lines 100 and an abutment 200. The transport line 100 includes a transport track 110 and a clamping mechanism 130. The clamping mechanism 130 has a clamping portion 130a, which is used to clamp the material 300. The clamping mechanism 130 can move cyclically along the transport track 110. The abutment 200 is located between two adjacent transport lines 100. The length direction of the abutment 200 is arranged along a first direction, which is arranged crosswise with the arrangement direction of the two adjacent transport lines 100. The abutment 200 has a first abutment portion 200b and a second abutment portion 200c. The first abutment portion 200b and the second abutment portion 200c are arranged along the first direction. The clamping mechanism 130 can move from the position corresponding to the first abutment portion 200b to the position corresponding to the second abutment portion 200c. In the process of the clamping mechanism 130 moving from the position corresponding to the first abutment portion 200b to the position corresponding to the second abutment portion 200c, the clamping mechanism 130 corresponding to one of the transport lines 100 disengages from the first abutment portion 200b, and the corresponding clamping portion 130a switches from an open state to a clamped state to clamp the material 300, and the clamping mechanism 130 corresponding to the other transport line 100 abuts against the second abutment portion 200c, and the corresponding clamping portion 130a switches from a clamped state to an open state to release the material 300.

[0055] The clamping portion 130 a is used to clamp the material 300 . A gap is usually formed in the middle of the clamping portion 130 a . When the gap is reduced, the clamping portion 130 a can clamp the material 300 in the middle.

[0056] For example, the transport track 110 includes two spaced-apart straight segments and two curved segments, each connected to the other two straight segments. The two straight segments and one of the curved segments are connected to form a roughly U-shaped structure, with the other curved segment connected to the other end. This forms a loop in the transport track 110.

[0057] Exemplarily, the abutment member 200 is located between the straight sections of two adjacent transport lines 100 , and the extending direction of the abutment member 200 is arranged along the extending direction of the straight sections of the transport lines 100 .

[0058] It can be understood that the planes where the transport tracks 110 of two adjacent transport lines 100 are located can be arranged parallel to each other or at an angle, and the size of the angle can be adjusted according to the actual use environment.

[0059] It is understandable that the movement directions of the clamping mechanisms 130 on two adjacent transport lines 100 are opposite. For example, one carrier moves clockwise around the transport track 110, and the other carrier moves counterclockwise.

[0060] For example, the transport track 110 is a stator, and includes a guide rail, an electromagnetic drive module, and an electromagnetic coil. The gripper mechanism 130 includes a mover 120, which includes a magnetic plate and can cyclically move along the guide rail under the drive of the stator.

[0061] For example, the embodiments of the present application do not limit the type of the transport track 110. For example, the transport track 110 can be a synchronous belt or a guide groove.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the conveying system is provided with an abutment member 200, which has a first abutment portion 200b and a second abutment portion 200c. When the corresponding clamping mechanisms 130 of the two transport lines 100 move from the position corresponding to the first abutment portion 200b to the position corresponding to the second abutment portion 200c, one of the clamping mechanisms 130 disengages from the first abutment portion 200b to open the corresponding clamping portion 130a, and the other clamping mechanism 130 abuts against the second abutment portion 200c to clamp the corresponding clamping portion 130a. When the clamping portion 130a of one of the clamping mechanisms 130 clamps the material 300, the abutment member 200 can be used to transfer the material 300 from one of the clamping mechanisms 130 to the other clamping mechanism 130. The transport line 100 does not need to provide an additional motor on the clamping mechanism to control the clamping and release of the clamping portion 130a, and the structure of the conveying system is relatively simple.

[0063] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3The abutment 200 also has an exchange portion 200a, which is located between the first abutment portion 200b and the second abutment portion 200c along the first direction. When the clamping mechanisms 130 corresponding to two adjacent transport lines 100 move to the corresponding position of the exchange portion 200a, the clamping mechanism 130 corresponding to one of the transport lines 100 disengages from the first abutment portion 200b, and the clamping mechanism 130 switches from an open state to a clamping state to clamp the material 300. The clamping mechanism 130 corresponding to the other transport line 100 abuts against the second abutment portion 200c, and the clamping mechanism 130 switches from a clamping state to an open state to release the material 300.

[0064] Exemplarily, the length direction of the straight line segment is arranged along the first direction.

[0065] For example, the first direction is Figure 3 The direction indicated by the arrow R1.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the corresponding clamping mechanisms 130 of the two transport lines 100 move to corresponding positions on the exchange section 200a to switch between clamping and opening positions. This reduces the clamping force exerted on the material 300 by both clamping sections 130a during transport. While the material 300 is moving to the exchange section 200a, one clamping section 130a remains clamped while the other clamping section 130a remains open. This reduces the load on the material 300, mitigates damage to the material 300, and increases the yield rate of the material 300.

[0067] It is understandable that the embodiments of the present application are not limited to the abutment 200 having an exchange portion 200a, and the two clamping members 1341b switch between clamping and opening in the exchange portion 200a. For example, the abutment 200 has two exchange portions 200a, and the two exchange portions 200a are arranged at intervals along the first direction, and the two exchange portions 200a are respectively located on opposite sides of the abutment 200 facing two adjacent transport lines 100. In the process of transporting the material 300, the clamping mechanism corresponding to the downstream transport line 100 opens the clamping portion 130a when it is about to approach the material 300, so that the material 300 is located in the middle of the clamping portion 130a, and then clamps the material 300, and the material 300 is clamped by the upstream clamping portion 130a and the downstream clamping portion 130a at the same time. When the upstream and downstream clamping mechanisms are about to separate, the upstream clamping portion 130 a disengages from the abutment member 200 to release the material 300 , and the material 300 moves along with the downstream clamping mechanism.

[0068] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 8The abutment 200 also has a first transition section 200d and a second transition section 200e. The first transition section 200d is connected to the side of the first abutment portion 200b facing the second abutment portion 200c, and the second transition section 200e is connected to the side of the second abutment portion 200c facing the first abutment portion 200b. The first transition section 200d and the second transition section 200e are curved sections.

[0069] Exemplarily, the first abutting portion 200 b and the second abutting portion 200 c protrude toward two adjacent transport lines 100 along the second direction, respectively, and the arrangement direction of the two adjacent transport lines 100 is arranged along the second direction.

[0070] Illustratively, along the first direction, the exchange portion 200a is located between the first abutting portion 200b and the second abutting portion 200c.

[0071] Exemplarily, the first direction is arranged orthogonal to the second direction.

[0072] Exemplarily, the position of the exchange portion 200 a overlaps with the position of the transition section.

[0073] For example, the second direction is Figure 3 The direction indicated by the arrow R2.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, the first abutting portion 200b and the second abutting portion 200c are respectively provided with a first transition section 200d and a second transition section 200e. As the clamping mechanism moves from the first abutting portion 200b to the first transition section 200d, the first transition section 200d reduces the impact load on the clamping mechanism, ensuring a more stable transport process. Furthermore, as the clamping mechanism moves from the second transition section 200e to the second abutting portion 200c, the second transition section 200e ensures smoother movement of the clamping mechanism.

[0075] It is understood that the embodiments of the present application do not limit whether the abutment member 200 is provided with the first transition section 200d and the second transition section 200e. For example, the first abutment portion 200b transitions to the second abutment portion 200c and the second abutment portion 200c transitions to the first abutment portion 200b at right angles.

[0076] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6The clamping mechanism 130 includes a base 140, an opening clamping assembly 132, a first elastic member 133 and a clamping jaw assembly 134. The transport track 110 can drive the base 140 to move. The opening clamping assembly 132 is used to abut against the abutment 200 to loosen the corresponding clamping portion 130a. The first elastic member 133 is respectively connected to the opening clamping assembly 132 and the base 140 so that the opening clamping assembly 132 can move relative to the base 140. The clamping jaw assembly 134 has a clamping portion 130a. The clamping jaw assembly 134 is installed on the base 140. The opening clamping assembly 132 abuts against the clamping jaw assembly 134. When the opening clamping assembly 132 is away from the base 140, the clamping portion 130a is clamped. When the opening clamping assembly 132 is close to the base 140, the clamping portion 130a is released.

[0077] Exemplarily, the first elastic member 133 is a spring.

[0078] Exemplarily, the material of the clamping assembly 132 is hard plastic or metal.

[0079] Exemplarily, an avoidance groove is formed at the bottom of the clamping jaw assembly 134, and the clamping assembly 132 is inserted into the avoidance groove.

[0080] Exemplarily, the base 140 includes a mover 120 and a stopper 131 that are connected to each other, the transport track 110 can drive the mover 120 to move, and the first elastic member 133 is connected to the clamping assembly 132 and the stopper 131 respectively.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, the first elastic member 133 can continuously apply a thrust to the opening clamp assembly 132, so that the opening clamp assembly 132 can stably abut against the abutment member 200. Furthermore, the opening clamp assembly 132 can be made of a hard material, and the first elastic member 133 applies an elastic force to achieve movement of the opening clamp assembly 132. During the movement of the opening clamp assembly 132 along the abutment member 200, the opening clamp assembly 132 can continuously abut against the abutment member 200. The high strength of the opening clamp assembly 132 can increase the service life of the opening clamp assembly 132.

[0082] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application do not limit whether the clamping mechanism 130 is provided with the first elastic member 133. Exemplarily, the material of the clamping assembly 132 is a material capable of elastic deformation. For example, the clamping assembly 132 is made of rubber or silicone. When the clamping assembly 132 abuts the abutting member 200, the clamping assembly 132 is compressed and deformed.

[0083] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6The clamping assembly 132 includes a first bearing 1320 and a clamping piece 1321. The first bearing 1320 is at least partially located on the side of the clamping piece 1321 away from the base 140. The first elastic piece 133 is connected to the clamping piece 1321. The first bearing 1320 is rotatably mounted on the clamping piece 1321. The first bearing 1320 is used to abut against the abutment piece 200.

[0084] Exemplarily, the first bearing 1320 is mounted on the top surface of the clamping member 1321 , and one end of the first bearing 1320 facing away from the base 140 protrudes from the clamping member 1321 .

[0085] In the embodiment of the present application, the clamping assembly 132 is provided with a first bearing 1320, which is at least partially located on the side of the clamping member 1321 facing away from the base 140. The first bearing 1320 generates rolling friction between the clamping assembly 132 and the abutment member 200, thereby reducing friction between the clamping assembly 132 and the abutment member 200, making the movement of the clamping assembly 132 smoother. It also reduces wear on the clamping member 1321 to a certain extent, thereby increasing the service life of the clamping member 1321.

[0086] It is understandable that the embodiments of the present application do not limit whether the clamping assembly 132 is provided with the first bearing 1320 .

[0087] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 The clamping assembly 132 includes a first bearing 1320 and a clamping member 1321. The first bearing 1320 is used to abut against the abutment member 200. The clamping member 1321 has a clamping portion 1321a, a transition portion 1321b and a blocking portion 1321c. The clamping portion 1321a is located on the side of the blocking portion 1321c away from the baffle. The first elastic member 133 is connected to the blocking portion 1321c. The width direction of the clamping portion 1321a gradually decreases along the direction of the clamping portion 1321a toward the blocking portion 1321c. The transition portion 1321b is located between the clamping portion 1321a and the blocking portion 1321c. Projected along the thickness direction of the clamping member 1321, the projection area of ​​the transition portion 1321b is in the shape of an arc.

[0088] For example, when the first bearing 1320 and the abutting member 200 are disengaged from each other, the blocking portion 1321 c abuts against the side of the clamping jaw assembly 134 facing the base 140 , thereby limiting the position of the clamping member 1321 .

[0089] It will be appreciated that the base 140 is provided with a first bearing 1320 and a clamping member 1321. The first bearing 1320 serves as a follower, and both the first bearing 1320 and the clamping member 1321 are connected to the base 140 via the first elastic member 133. When the base 140 drives the clamping assembly 132 past the abutment 200, the first bearing 1320 is pressed against the abutment 200 by the elastic force of the first elastic member 133. When the first bearing 1320 moves to the first abutment portion 200b or the second abutment portion 200c, the clamping member 1321 moves toward the first elastic member 133, thereby compressing the first elastic member 133. The wider portion of the clamping portion 1321a of the clamping member 1321 abuts against the jaw assembly 134, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the jaw assembly 134.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, the clamping member 1321 includes a clamping portion 1321a, a transition portion 1321b, and a blocking portion 1321c. The widthwise dimension of the clamping portion 1321a controls the spacing between the clamping portions 130a of the clamping jaw assembly 134, thereby controlling the tightening and loosening of the clamping portion 130a. When the clamping portion 1321a moves toward the base 140, the larger widthwise portion of the clamping portion 1321a abuts the clamping jaw assembly 134, thereby loosening the clamping portion 130a. When the clamping portion 1321a moves away from the base 140, the smaller widthwise portion of the clamping portion 1321a abuts the clamping jaw assembly 134, thereby tightening the clamping portion 130a. Furthermore, the projected area of ​​the transition portion 1321b is in the shape of a circular arc, which can reduce stress concentration in the clamping member 1321 and ensure smoother movement between the clamping member 1321 and the clamping jaw assembly 134.

[0091] It is understood that the embodiment of the present application does not limit whether the opening clamping member 1321 is provided with the transition portion 1321b. For example, there is a straight line transition between the opening clamping portion 1321a and the abutting portion.

[0092] In one embodiment, in the clamping assemblies 132 located on two adjacent conveyor lines 100, the first bearing 1320 of one clamping assembly 132 is connected to the top surface of the clamping member 1321, while the first bearing 1320 of the other clamping assembly 132 is connected to the bottom surface of the clamping member 1321. The first bearings 1320 being located on different surfaces of the clamping member 1321 allows the two clamping assemblies 132 to be staggered in height, thereby reducing interference between the two clamping assemblies 132 during the exchange of materials 300.

[0093] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6The clamping jaw assembly 134 includes a fixed member 1340, two movable members 1341 and a second elastic member 1342. The fixed member 1340 has two fixed portions 1340a arranged at intervals along the width direction of the fixed member 1340, and the fixed portion 1340a protrudes along the base 140 toward the direction of the clamping assembly 132. The two movable members 1341 are located between the two fixed portions 1340a, and the two movable members 1341 clamp the clamping assembly 132 along the width direction of the fixed member 1340. The movable members 1341 have a clamping portion 130a. A second elastic member 1342 is provided between each movable member 1341 and the corresponding fixed portion 1340a, and the two ends of the second elastic member 1342 are respectively connected to the movable member 1341 and the corresponding fixed portion 1340a.

[0094] Exemplarily, the second elastic member 1342 is a spring.

[0095] Exemplarily, the clamping member 1321 abuts against the moving member 1341 to open the clamping portion 130 a .

[0096] In the embodiment of the present application, a second elastic member 1342 is disposed between each movable member 1341 and the corresponding fixed portion 1340a. The second elastic member 1342 can apply an elastic force to the movable member 1341, thereby enabling the clamping portion 130a to clamp the material 300. The opening assembly 132 abuts against the movable member 1341 to overcome the elastic force applied by the second elastic member 1342, thereby opening the clamping portion 130a on the movable member 1341.

[0097] In one embodiment, there are at least two second elastic members 1342 between each movable member 1341 and the corresponding fixed portion 1340a, and the plurality of second elastic members 1342 are spaced apart along the height direction of the fixed member 1340. The plurality of second elastic members 1342 can make the movement of the movable member 1341 more stable and can reduce the possibility of the movable member 1341 rotating along a single second elastic member 1342.

[0098] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The movable member 1341 includes a slider 1341a, a clamping member 1341b and a second bearing 1341c. The clamping member 1341b is connected to the slider 1341a. The clamping member 1341b has a clamping portion 130a. The two ends of the second elastic member 1342 are respectively connected to the slider 1341a and the fixed portion 1340a. The second bearing 1341c is rotatably connected to the side of the slider 1341a facing the clamping assembly 132. The two second bearings 1341c clamp the clamping assembly 132 along the width direction of the fixed member 1340.

[0099] Exemplarily, the second bearing 1341 c abuts against the clamping member 1321 .

[0100] In the embodiment of the present application, movable member 1341 includes a slider 1341a, a clamping member 1341b, and a second bearing 1341c. Second bearing 1341c is rotatably connected to the side of slider 1341a facing the clamping assembly 132. Second bearing 1341c converts contact between the clamping assembly 132 and slider 1341a into rolling friction, thereby reducing the sliding resistance between the clamping assembly 132 and slider 1341a. Furthermore, second bearing 1341c reduces wear between the clamping assembly 132 and slider 1341a, thereby extending the service life of the clamping assembly 132 and slider 1341a.

[0101] It is understood that the embodiment of the present application does not limit whether the moving member 1341 is provided with the second bearing 1341c. For example, the slider 1341a abuts against the clamping assembly 132, and there is sliding friction between the slider 1341a and the clamping assembly 132.

[0102] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The clamping mechanism 130 further includes a guide member 135 , which extends along the width direction of the fixed member 1340 . The guide member 135 is passed through two movable members 1341 along the width direction of the fixed member 1340 , and the movable member 1341 can move relative to the guide member 135 .

[0103] Exemplarily, the guide member 135 is a cylindrical rod-shaped structure.

[0104] Exemplarily, there are multiple guide members 135, which are spaced apart along the height direction of the fixing member 1340. The multiple guide members 135 can further reduce the rotation of the slider 1341a, and the moving direction of the slider 1341a is relatively stable.

[0105] In the embodiment of the present application, the clamping mechanism 130 further includes a guide member 135, which is disposed along the width of the fixed member 1340 and extends through the two movable members 1341. The guide member 135 can guide the movement of the movable members 1341, thereby enabling the clamping portion 130a of the movable member 1341 to be accurately clamped, thereby allowing the material 300 to be more stably clamped by the clamping portion 130a.

[0106] It is understandable that the embodiments of the present application do not limit whether the clamping mechanism 130 is provided with a guide member 135 .

[0107] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the gripper mechanism 130 is made of ferromagnetic material. The gripper mechanism 130 is suspended above the transport track 110 . The transport track 110 applies a magnetic force to the gripper mechanism 130 so that the gripper mechanism 130 moves cyclically along the transport track 110 .

[0108] In the embodiment of the present application, at least a portion of the gripper mechanism 130 is made of ferromagnetic material, and the transport track 110 drives the gripper mechanism 130 to move via magnetic force. This allows the gripper mechanism 130 to move without requiring connection to an external drive mechanism. This reduces the impact of the external environment on the gripper mechanism 130 during movement, resulting in a more stable movement of the gripper mechanism 130.

[0109] It is understood that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the manner in which the gripping mechanism 130 is driven to move. For example, the transport line 100 includes a driving member connected to an external power source via a wire, thereby driving the gripping mechanism 130 to move along the transport track 110 .

[0110] The embodiment of the present application also provides a conveying system, which includes a transport line 100 and an abutment 200. The transport line 100 includes a transport track 110 and a clamping mechanism 130, wherein the clamping mechanism 130 has a clamping portion 130a, and the clamping portion 130a is used to clamp the material 300. The clamping mechanism 130 can move cyclically along the transport track 110. A third abutment is formed on the side of the abutment 200 facing the transport line 100. In the process of the clamping mechanism 130 moving along the transport track 110, the clamping mechanism 130 disengages from the third abutment, and the clamping portion 130a switches from an open state to a clamped state to clamp the material 300, or the clamping mechanism 130 abuts against the third abutment, and the clamping portion 130a switches from a clamped state to an open state to release the material 300.

[0111] In the embodiment of the present application, the third abutting portion enables the clamping portion 130a to switch from an open state to a clamped state or vice versa, and the conveying system does not need to be equipped with an additional control device to control the state of the clamping portion 130a. The structure of the conveying system is relatively simple.
