[0021] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1-3As shown, a conveying device includes a conveyor belt 1, a product detection device 2, a kicking cylinder 3 and a defective product receiving device 4. A plurality of branch feed ports 11 are provided on the conveyor belt 1. The product detection device 2 is arranged on the conveyor belt 1. The kicking cylinder 3 and the defective product receiving device 4 are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 1 facing each other.

[0023] In this application, the front end and the end of the conveyor belt 1 refer to the order along the transport direction of the conveyor belt 1. The transport direction of the conveyor belt 1 is from the front end to the end. The branch feed port 11 along the transport direction of the conveyor belt 1 is arranged at the front end of the product inspection device 2, and the product inspection device 2 is arranged at the front end of the defective product storage device 4.

[0024] While some products are being transported on the conveyor belt 1, other products are respectively introduced from the branch feed port 11. After introduction, they are inspected by the product inspection device 2. For unqualified products, the kicking cylinder 3 drives the product to move to the defective product storage device 4, and the qualified products continue to be transported to the next workstation.

[0025] By integrating the product detection device 2, the kicking cylinder 3 and the defective product storage device 4, automatic detection and sorting of product quality are achieved, which greatly improves production efficiency, reduces the need for manual intervention, and reduces labor costs.

[0026] The setting of the product inspection device 2 ensures that each passing product can be inspected promptly and accurately, and unqualified products can be effectively identified, thereby ensuring the quality and consistency of the final product and improving customer satisfaction.

[0027] The multiple branch feed ports 11 provided on the conveyor belt 1 allow different batches or types of products to be flexibly fed into the main conveyor line, thereby enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the production line and facilitating flexible production of multiple varieties and small batches.

[0028] The kicking cylinder 3 and the defective product collection device 4 are positioned opposite each other on either side of the conveyor belt 1. This not only creates a compact layout and effectively utilizes space resources, but also facilitates the rapid collection and processing of defective products, reducing the need for material handling and storage space. This timely removal of defective products from the production process avoids ineffective processing in subsequent steps, significantly reducing waste of materials, time, and energy, and improving overall production efficiency.

[0029] Preferably, Figure 1 The conveyor belt 1 shown is narrowed after the branch feed port 11 so that the products are transported one by one, which is convenient for the detection of the product detection device 2 and the movement of the kicking cylinder 3.

[0030] The conveyor belt 1 narrows after the branch feed port 11, allowing products to pass through the product inspection device 2 one by one and in an orderly manner. This design avoids occlusion or overlap caused by multiple products appearing in the inspection area at the same time, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of product inspection.

[0031] The narrowed design ensures that each product can be independently and clearly presented within the range of the kicking cylinder 3. In this way, the kicking cylinder 3 can more accurately identify and remove unqualified products, reduce the possibility of misoperation, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of sorting.

[0032] By narrowing the conveyor belt 1, products can move on the conveyor belt 1 in a more stable and orderly manner. This not only reduces collisions and friction between products, reducing the risk of product damage, but also makes the entire production process smoother and more efficient.

[0033] The narrowed design allows the portion of the conveyor belt 1 behind the branch feed port 11 to occupy less space, which helps optimize the layout and space utilization of the production line. This is particularly important in production environments with limited space, as it can help companies use existing resources more efficiently.

[0034] Furthermore, the product inspection device 2 and the kicking cylinder 3 are connected in signal. When the product inspection device 2 detects unqualified products, the kicking cylinder 3 will push the unqualified products into the defective product storage device 4. Preferably, the signal connection between the product inspection device 2 and the kicking cylinder 3 signals can be achieved by transmitting signals through wires; more preferably, the signal connection between the product inspection device 2 and the kicking cylinder 3 signals can be achieved by the product inspection device 2 and the kicking cylinder 3 realizing signal intercommunication through the same local area network.

[0035] The product detection device 2 is selected according to the category of the product, and a suitable detection device is selected for detection. Preferably, the product detection device 2 uses a laser detector, such as the Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN219302270U, ​​which is a combination of a light source and an image acquisition mechanism in a photoluminescence detection device suitable for large-area opaque photovoltaic modules. This example is only used to illustrate that the product detection device 2 is a conventional technical means in this field.

[0036] The telescopic part of the kicking cylinder 3 is perpendicular to the transport direction of the conveyor belt 1. The kicking cylinder 3 only needs to push the unqualified products into the defective product storage device 4, that is, it only needs to be able to realize the telescopic function and the telescopic span must be greater than the width of the conveyor belt 1. Preferably, an automatic feeding device with a Chinese utility model patent publication number CN221662090U can be selected. This example is only used to illustrate that the kicking cylinder 3 is also a conventional technical means in this field.

[0037] The signal connection between the product inspection device 2 and the kicking cylinder 3 enables an immediate response mechanism. Once the product inspection device 2 identifies a defective product, the kicking cylinder 3 can quickly and accurately execute the action, pushing the defective product into the defective product storage device 4. This immediate feedback and efficient sorting mechanism significantly improves the overall efficiency of the production line and product quality.

[0038] Signal communication via wired connections or a local area network (LAN) provides flexible options for signal transmission between the product detection device 2 and the kicking cylinder 3. Wired connections are stable and reliable, suitable for applications requiring high signal transmission speed and quality; LAN connections offer greater flexibility and convenience, facilitating remote monitoring and intelligent management.

[0039] By selecting the appropriate inspection device based on the product type and characteristics, the conveyor can be adapted to various product inspection requirements. This customizable inspection solution improves the flexibility and adaptability of the production line, helping companies achieve flexible production of multiple varieties and small batches.

[0040] The use of advanced detection technologies, such as laser detectors, has improved the accuracy and reliability of product testing. These technologies not only enable the rapid identification of substandard products, but also enable more detailed product analysis and evaluation, providing strong support for the optimization and improvement of production processes.

[0041] The defective product storage device 4 only needs to realize the storage function. Preferably, the defective product storage device 4 is a box-shaped structure.

[0042] Furthermore, the conveying device also includes a plurality of guide plates 12, each guide plate 12 is arranged behind a branch feed port 11 in the transport direction of the conveyor belt 1, one end of the guide plate 12 is arranged on the side of the conveyor belt 1 where the branch feed port 11 is provided, and there is a gap between the other end of the guide plate 12 and the side of the conveyor belt 1 where the branch feed port 11 is not provided to form a product transportation channel.

[0043] Furthermore, a product inlet channel is formed from the branch feed port 11 along the guide plate 12 to the gap, and the product inlet channel extends to the product transport channel.

[0044] The provision of guide plate 12 ensures that products entering from branch feed port 11 smoothly transition to conveyor belt 1 along a predetermined path, preventing product dislocation or damage caused by impact or deviation during entry. The gap formed between guide plate 12 and conveyor belt 1 creates a clear product transport channel, allowing each product to move in an orderly manner along the predetermined route, improving product guidance and positioning accuracy.

[0045] By optimizing the design of the product entry and transport channels, collisions and friction during the entry and transport processes are reduced, lowering the risk of product damage. Furthermore, this design allows products to pass through the conveyor belt 1 more smoothly, reducing the loss of production efficiency caused by product blockage or stagnation.

[0046] The design of the guide plate 12 enables the conveyor to easily handle products of different sizes, shapes and weights. By adjusting the position and angle of the guide plate 12, it can flexibly adapt to the inlet requirements of different products, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the production line.

[0047] The design of the guide plate 12 and the product transport channel makes the conveying device more compact and reasonable in layout. By effectively utilizing space resources, the demand for material handling and storage space is reduced, and production costs are reduced.

[0048] The guide plate 12 is an independent component that is easy to disassemble and replace. When the conveying device needs to be maintained or upgraded, the guide plate 12 can be easily adjusted or replaced, which reduces maintenance costs and time.

[0049] Furthermore, the guide plate 12 is arc-shaped, and the guide plate 12 protrudes from one side of the conveyor belt 1 where the branch feed port 11 is provided to the other side.

[0050] The curved guide plate 12 provides a smoother transition surface, allowing products entering from the branch feed port 11 to transition more smoothly onto the conveyor belt 1. This design reduces the vibration and noise caused by the impact of product entry, while also reducing the risk of product damage. The curved guide plate 12 guides the products along a more natural curved path, which helps reduce lateral deviation and tumbling during transportation. By optimizing the product flow path, the products can move more stably along the conveyor belt 1, improving the efficiency and accuracy of product transportation. Because the guide plate 12 has a convex curved design, it can more smoothly and effectively guide the products into the gaps. This design helps reduce the dispersion and confusion of products during transportation, allowing them to be arranged more orderly on the conveyor belt 1, improving the cleanliness and manageability of the production line. The curved guide plate 12 is designed with a certain degree of flexibility and adaptability, and can accommodate products of different sizes and shapes. This design allows the conveying device to more flexibly respond to the inflow of different products, improving the flexibility and versatility of the production line.

[0051] like Figure 1As shown, further, the conveying device also includes a plurality of shaking devices, each of which is arranged in a direction opposite to a protruding direction of a guide plate 12, and the shaking device has a shaking wheel 14 with an irregular outer contour and a driving device 13 for driving the shaking wheel 14 to rotate, and the shaking wheel 14 is in contact with at least the guide plate 12 during the rotation process.

[0052] The irregular outer profile of the jitter wheel 14 generates periodic impact forces on the guide plate 12 during rotation. This impact force can cause the guide plate 12 and the products on it to vibrate slightly. This vibration helps to break the static friction between the products, promote smoother movement of the products along the conveyor belt 1, and reduce the possibility of blockage and stagnation.

[0053] The shaking device prevents products from piling up on the guide plate 12 or conveyor belt 1. Particularly at key locations such as the product entry and transport channels, the shaking device effectively disperses and rearranges products, ensuring they pass through the conveyor belt 1 at uniform spacing and speed, improving the fluidity and efficiency of the production line.

[0054] The contact between the shaking device and the guide plate 12 during the rotation process will produce a certain cleaning effect, which can remove impurities such as dust and debris attached to the guide plate 12. This helps to reduce wear and corrosion of the guide plate 12, extend its service life, and reduce maintenance costs.

[0055] The design of the shaking device is relatively simple and easy to maintain. Because the shaking wheel 14 is directly driven by the drive device 13, the failure rate is low and it is easy to detect and repair. This enhances the reliability and stability of the entire conveying device, ensuring continuous and efficient production.

[0056] The irregular shaking wheel 14 of the shaking device can adapt to products of various shapes, sizes and weights. Whether it is a small lightweight product or a large heavy product, the shaking device can effectively promote their flow and dispersion, improving the flexibility and versatility of the production line.

[0057] Furthermore, the conveying device further includes a branch feeding device 16 , which extends into the branch feeding port 11 and extends from high to low to above the conveyor belt 1 .

[0058] Furthermore, a plurality of branch feed ports 11 are arranged in sequence at intervals along the transport direction of the conveyor belt 1 .

[0059] Furthermore, side baffles 15 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 1 , and a plurality of branch feed ports 11 are provided on the side baffles 15 .

[0060] By introducing the branch feeder 16, the conveyor system can add materials to the conveyor belt 1 as needed, at different times, or by type during the conveying process. This design not only increases the flexibility of the production line, but also allows for rapid adjustment of material ratios based on production needs, significantly improving overall production efficiency.

[0061] The branch feed openings 11 are arranged in a sequentially spaced arrangement along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 1, so that the material can be evenly and orderly distributed on the conveyor belt 1, avoiding the problem of material accumulation or uneven distribution. This not only facilitates the stability and quality control of the subsequent processing, but also reduces material waste and production costs.

[0062] The branch feeder 16 extends from high to low, above the conveyor belt 1. This design allows materials at different heights and locations to be smoothly and accurately fed into the conveyor system, enhancing the adaptability and compatibility of the equipment. This is particularly critical for production scenarios where multiple materials and specifications are processed.

[0063] The side baffles 15 on either side of the conveyor belt 1 not only effectively prevent side leakage and splashing of materials during conveyance, but also improve safety in the work area. Furthermore, the branch feed inlet 11 on the side baffles 15 ensures accurate and stable material addition, reducing equipment failures and downtime caused by improper material addition.

[0064] It is worth noting that Figure 2 As shown, the end of the conveyor belt is connected to a distribution hopper 6, one end of the distribution hopper is connected to the end of the conveyor belt, and the other end of the distribution hopper 6 forms at least two distribution routes, and the products sent out from each distribution route are collected in a receiving box 7.

[0065] A counting sensor 5 is provided between the defective product storage device 4 and the dividing hopper 6. The dividing hopper 6 is provided with a dividing paddle 61. The dividing paddle 61 is swingably set in the dividing hopper 6. The dividing paddle 61 can expose or block part of the dividing route. The products on the dividing hopper 6 enter a dividing route along the dividing paddle 61 and then fall into the receiving box 7. The counting sensor 5 and the dividing paddle 61 are also connected by signal. The signal connection can also be achieved by transmitting signals through wires or by signal intercommunication through the same local area network. The counting sensor 5 records the number of qualified products. After the product reaches the preset number, that is, the product in the receiving box 7 reaches the carrying amount, the dividing paddle 61 swings to change the dividing route entered by the product, and then enters different receiving boxes 7.

[0066] By incorporating a counting sensor 5 and a swingable dispensing paddle 61, this design enables automatic product counting and intelligent control of sorted storage. When the product volume in the receiving bin 7 reaches a preset number, the dispensing paddle 61 automatically swings to change the product distribution path, preventing overloading of the receiving bin 7 and ensuring the continuity and stability of the production process.

[0067] The automatic sorting and counting functions reduce manual intervention and improve production efficiency. At the same time, since the counting sensor 5 can accurately record the number of qualified products, the accuracy of product classification is ensured, avoiding quality problems caused by human misjudgment or omission.

[0068] Through the multiple distribution routes of the distribution hopper 6, this design can flexibly classify and store products into different receiving boxes 7, facilitating subsequent processing and inventory management. This design not only improves the efficiency of material management, but also reduces the risk of material confusion and loss.

[0069] The signal connection between the counting sensor 5 and the dispensing paddle 61 can be achieved through wires or a local area network. This design not only facilitates maintenance and debugging of the equipment, but also facilitates future system upgrades and expansions. For example, the automation and intelligence level of the system can be further improved by adding more sensors or optimizing algorithms.

[0070] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be included in the scope of protection of the present utility model.
