[0044] This embodiment provides a conveying device, such as Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, the conveying device includes a support platform 1 and a busbar track 6, a first track 7, a second track 8 and a drive assembly 4, all of which are arranged on the support platform 1. The busbar track 6 includes a first side rail 61 and a second side rail 62 arranged opposite to each other, and the product 10 can move between the first side rail 61 and the second side rail 62. The first track 7 includes a third side rail 71 and a fourth side rail 72 arranged opposite to each other, and the product 10 can move between the third side rail 71 and the fourth side rail 72, and the third side rail 71 is opposite to and spaced from the second side rail 62. The second track 8 includes a fifth side rail 81 and a sixth side rail 82 arranged opposite to each other, and the product 10 can move between the fifth side rail 81 and the sixth side rail 82, and the fifth side rail 81 is spaced from the first side rail 61, and the sixth side rail 82 is connected to the second side rail 62. The first diverter 51 includes a first side wall 511 and a second side wall 512. The first diverter 51 is connected to the output end of the driving component 4, and the driving component 4 can drive the first diverter 51 to move between the first position and the second position; in the first position, the first diverter 51 blocks the first track 7, one end of the first side wall 511 is docked with the first side rail 61, and the other end is docked with the fifth side rail 81; in the second position, the first diverter 51 blocks the second track 8, one end of the second side wall 512 is docked with the second side rail 62, and the other end is docked with the third side rail 71.

[0045] When the drive assembly 4 drives the first diverter 51 to the first position, the first diverter 51 blocks the first track 7, and the merging track 6 docks with the second track 8, so that the products 10 transported on the second track 8 converge onto the merging track 6. When the drive assembly 4 drives the first diverter 51 to the second position, the first diverter 51 blocks the second track 8, and the merging track 6 docks with the first track 7, so that the products 10 transported on the first track 7 converge onto the merging track 6. In this embodiment, the conveying device is provided with only one movable first diverter 51 to achieve switching of the flow direction of the products 10, making the entire conveying production line simple in structure, low in cost, and small in space.

[0046] In order to achieve smooth delivery of product 10, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the conveying device also includes a first conveyor belt 91, a second conveyor belt 92, and a connecting roller 93. The first conveyor belt 91 is partially located between the first side wall 511 and the second side wall 512, and partially located between the fifth side rail 81 and the sixth side rail 82. The first conveyor belt 91 can drive the product 10 to move within the bus track 6 and the second track 8. The second conveyor belt 92 is arranged between the third side rail 71 and the fourth side rail 72, and can drive the product 10 to move within the first track 7. The connecting roller 93 is arranged on one side of the first conveyor belt 91 and is located between the bus track 6 and the first track 7. The connecting roller 93 is used to transfer the product 10 between the second conveyor belt 92 and the first conveyor belt 91, thereby enabling the product 10 to move within the bus track 6 and the first track 7.

[0047] In some embodiments, when the first diverter 51 is in the first position, the product 10 is transported on the first conveyor belt 91 and flows from the second track 8 into the merging track 6. When the first diverter 51 is in the second position, the product 10 is transported in the first direction sequentially over the second conveyor belt 92, the connecting roller 93, and the first conveyor belt 91, i.e., flows from the first track 7 into the merging track 6.

[0048] In another embodiment, when the first diverter 51 is in the first position, the products 10 conveyed in the bus track 6 are conveyed to the second track 8 via the first conveyor belt 91. When the first diverter 51 is in the second position, the products 10 conveyed in the bus track 6 are conveyed to the first track 7 via the first conveyor belt 91, the connecting roller 93, and the second conveyor belt 92. This conveying device can not only realize the rectification of the products 10 in the first track 7 and the second track 8, but also realize the diversion and conveyance of the products 10 in the bus track 6 to the first track 7 or the second track 8, thereby improving the flexibility of conveying the products 10.

[0049] In this embodiment, the conveying device further includes a drive source assembly (not shown in the figure), which includes a first drive source, a second drive source, and a third drive source. The first drive source is transmission-connected to the first conveyor belt 91 and can drive the first conveyor belt 91 to move so as to drive the products 10 to be transported within the second track 8 and the merging track 6. The second drive source is transmission-connected to the second conveyor belt 92 and can drive the second conveyor belt 92 to move so as to drive the products 10 to be transported within the first track 7. The third drive source is transmission-connected to the connecting roller 93 and can drive the connecting roller 93 to rotate so as to drive the products 10 to be transported from the second conveyor belt 92 to the first conveyor belt 91, or from the first conveyor belt 91 to the second conveyor belt 92.

[0050] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the busbar track 6 extends along a first direction, the first track 7 extends along the first direction and is disposed opposite the busbar track 6, the second track 8 is arc-shaped and disposed on one side of the first track 7 along the first direction, and the second track 8 is disposed tangentially to the busbar track 6. The drive assembly 4 is disposed on the other side of the first track 7 along the first direction. The overall structure is ingenious and does not interfere with each other, ensuring the stability and reliability of the conveyor device. In this embodiment, the drive assembly 4 is capable of driving the first diverter 51 to reciprocate in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0051] like Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, the first side wall 511 of the first shunt 51 is configured as a circular arc and has a radius of curvature equal to that of the second track 8, and the second side wall 512 is planar and parallel to the first track 7. When the first shunt 51 is in the first position, the first shunt 51 blocks the first track 7 without affecting the conveying of the products 10 on the second track 8; when the first shunt 51 is in the second position, the first shunt 51 blocks the second track 8 without affecting the conveying of the products 10 on the first track 7.

[0052] Specifically, when the first shunt 51 is in the first position, the second track 8 is connected to the converging track 6, forming a complete and smooth track with consistent width at each location, and the products 10 can be conveyed freely. When the first shunt 51 is in the second position, the first track 7 is connected to the converging track 6, forming a complete and smooth track with consistent width at each location, and the products 10 can be conveyed freely.

[0053] As shown, Figure 1-Figure 2 The first side rail 61 and the fourth side rail 72 are provided with a clearance gap for avoiding the first shunt 51 in the first position. This avoids positional interference between the first shunt 51 and the side rails during movement, and in addition, the clearance gap also functions as a limit for the movement of the first shunt 51. In some embodiments, when the first shunt 51 is in the first position, the first shunt 51 is inserted into the clearance gap, and in some embodiments, when the first shunt 51 is in the first position, the first shunt 51 can also pass through the clearance gap and extend to the outside of the track.

[0054] As shown, Figure 1-Figure 2 The conveying device further includes a second shunt 52 connected to the output end of the driving assembly 4 and located on the side of the first shunt 51 away from the sixth side rail 82. The second shunt 52 includes a third side wall 521 opposite the second side wall 512. When the first shunt 51 is in the second position, one end of the third side wall 521 is connected to the first side rail 61 and the other end is connected to the fourth side rail 72. The second shunt 52 is located to the side of the connection roller 93 and blocks the clearance gap. This limits the products 10 conveyed between the first track 7 and the converging track 6 and prevents the products 10 from deviating from the conveying path on the connection roller 93.

[0055] As shown, Figure 2 When the first shunt 51 is in the second position, part of the first side wall 511 abuts against the sixth side rail 82. On the one hand, this limits the movement of the first shunt 51, and on the other hand, when part of the first side wall 511 abuts against the sixth side rail 82, it blocks the second track 8 and only the products 10 on the first track 7 are conveyed onto the converging track 6.

[0056] As shown, Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, the thickness of the first diverter 51 is not less than the depth of the bus track 6, the thickness of the first diverter 51 is not less than the depth of the first track 7, and the thickness of the first diverter 51 is not less than the depth of the second track 8. This improves the reliability of the first diverter 51 in blocking the first track 7 or the second track 8.

[0057] In this embodiment, the thickness of the second diverter 52 is no less than the depth of the busbar track 6, and the thickness of the second diverter 52 is no less than the depth of the first track 7. When the first diverter 51 is in the second position, the second diverter 52 can effectively block the avoidance gap to assist in the conveyance of the product 10 from the first track 7 to the busbar track 6.

[0058] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly 4 includes a slide cylinder, which includes a slide 41 and a cylinder 42. The cylinder 42 is mounted on the support platform 1 and can drive the slide 41 to reciprocate relative to the support platform 1. The first diverter 51 and the second diverter 52 are both connected to the slide 41. The slide cylinder is an integrated structure that integrates a linear guide, cylinder 42, and a limiter, saving installation space. It has high strength and high precision, and can be configured with a stroke adjustment component to adjust the stroke range as needed.

[0059] In other embodiments, the driving assembly 4 may also be an electric cylinder, a structure of a motor and a screw nut, a hydraulic cylinder, etc., which is not specifically limited here.

[0060] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the conveying device also includes a base plate 2 and at least three adjustment members 3. The drive assembly 4 is mounted on the base plate 2. The adjustment members 3 pass through the base plate 2 and are connected to the support platform 1. By adjusting the tightness of the connection between the at least three adjustment members 3 and the support platform 1, the levelness of the base plate 2 relative to the support platform 1 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the levelness of the first diverter 51 and the second diverter 52 relative to the support platform 1.

[0061] In this embodiment, four adjusting members 3 are provided to achieve stable leveling of the base plate 2. In other embodiments, five, six, seven, eight, etc. adjusting members 3 may be provided, which is not specifically limited here.

[0062] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the manner in which the present invention is to be implemented. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
