When the first driving assembly 3 drives the first track 2 to be at a first height, the workpieces and the workpiece bearing table 4 are in a non-contact state; and when the first driving assembly 3 drives the first track 2 to be at a second height, the workpieces and the workpiece bearing table 4 are in a contact state.

[0037] That is, the first track 2 of the utility model is movable up and down, when the workpieces are conveyed by the previous process, the two first tracks 2 receive the workpieces (at this time, the first track 2 is at the first height), then, the two first tracks 2 are lowered to the second height, and the workpieces are placed on the workpiece bearing table 4. Then the workpieces can be subjected to the dispensing operation. After the dispensing operation is completed, the two first tracks 2 drive the workpieces to rise to the first height, and the workpieces are conveyed to the next process. The utility model has the advantages of simple structure and convenient operation.

[0038] In the embodiment, two groups of first tracks 2 are mounted on one support seat 1, and the two groups of first tracks 2 are mirror image arranged along the y direction.

The lower end of the first track 2 is in contact with the cam 33, when the first driving piece 31 drives the cam 33 to rotate, the lifting movement of the first track 2 can be realized. Two supporting blocks 34 are mounted on the bottom plate 100. The cam 33 comprises a shaft body 331 and a connecting portion 332, the connecting portion 332 is located at the end of the shaft body 331, and the connecting portion 332 is eccentrically arranged at the end of the shaft body 331. One connecting portion 332 is in rotation connection with one supporting block 34, and one connecting portion 332 is connected with the first transmission belt 32 through a synchronous wheel. The first driving piece 31 is, for example, a motor, when the output shaft of the first driving piece 31 rotates, the cam 33 can be driven to rotate through the first transmission belt 32, and since the connecting portion 332 and the shaft body 331 are eccentrically arranged, with the rotation of the shaft body 331, the lifting and lowering of the first track 2 can be realized.

[0041] In the embodiment, the lower end of the first track 2 is provided with a driven wheel 21 which is in contact with the surface of the cam 33. The first track 2 comprises a first lifting plate 22 and a first belt conveying assembly 23, the first lifting plate 22 is connected with the support base 1 through a slide rail, and the driven wheel 21 is installed at the lower end of the first lifting plate 22. The driven wheel 21 is in abutment with the shaft body 331, and the height of the driven wheel 21 will change with the rotation of the shaft body 331, thereby driving the height of the first lifting plate 22 to change. When the height of the first lifting plate 22 changes, the height of the first belt conveying assembly 23 changes synchronously. The first belt conveying assembly 23 is used for conveying workpieces.

[0042] In the embodiment, the support base 1 is provided with a first height sensor 5 and a second height sensor 6, the first height sensor 5 is used for detecting whether the first track 2 reaches the first height, and the second height sensor 6 is used for detecting whether the first track 2 reaches the second height.

When the first baffle 221 is located in the first height sensor 5, an induction signal can be triggered, indicating that the first track 2 has reached the first height. When the second baffle 222 is located in the second height sensor 6, an induction signal can be triggered, indicating that the first track 2 has reached the second height.

[0043] In the embodiment, the end of the support base 1 is connected with a second track 7, the second track 7 is used for conveying workpieces and corresponds to a material waiting area of the workpieces. The second track 7 comprises a second belt conveying assembly 71 for conveying workpieces. The number of the second track 7 on one support base 1 is also two groups, and the two groups of second tracks 7 are mirror image arranged along the y direction. That is, the workpiece conveying device is provided with four groups of second tracks 7 in total, and the opposite two groups of second tracks 7 correspond to one material waiting area. It should be noted that the second track 7 cannot move up and down, and when the workpieces in the work area are performing dispensing work, the workpieces conveyed in the previous process can wait in the material waiting area. After the workpieces in the work area complete the work, the second track 7 conveys the waiting workpieces to the first track 2.

[0044] That is, the entire conveying device can be divided into four areas, from left to right, in order, the material waiting area, the work area, the work area, and the material waiting area. The two work areas can simultaneously perform dispensing work, or sequentially perform dispensing work. In this way, the conveying device can be fully utilized, and the work efficiency can be improved.

When the material blocking block 413 is in the retracted state, the workpiece can be conveyed in the x direction. In the prior art, the material blocking assembly 41 is arranged on the track, and when the conveying device conveys workpieces of different sizes, the installation position of the material blocking assembly 41 needs to be adjusted to accurately block the material. In the utility model, the material blocking assembly 41 is installed on the workpiece carrying table 4, and when workpieces of different sizes are conveyed, the entire workpiece carrying table 4 can be replaced, and the installation position of the material blocking assembly 41 does not need to be adjusted separately. The workpiece carrying table 4 comprises a vacuum adsorption plate 42, which adsorbs the workpiece when the workpiece contacts the vacuum adsorption plate 42, preventing the workpiece from deviating during the working process. One workpiece carrying table 4 corresponds to one working area.

[0046] The workpiece conveying device further comprises a track width adjusting assembly 8 connected to the second track 7 for adjusting the width of the workpiece conveying device. The track width adjusting assembly 8 comprises a width adjusting drive motor 81, a width adjusting rod 82, and a width adjusting moving block 83. The two ends of the width adjusting rod 82 respectively penetrate two groups of second tracks 7, and the width adjusting moving block 83 is connected to one of the second tracks 7. The width adjusting drive motor 81 is located at the other second track 7, and the width adjusting drive motor 81 is drivingly connected to one end of the width adjusting rod 82. When the width adjusting drive motor 81 is started, the width adjusting rod 82 can be driven to rotate through the synchronous belt, thereby driving the width adjusting moving block 83 to move in the y direction on the width adjusting rod 82. When the width adjusting moving block 83 moves, it can drive the second track 7 to also move in the y direction, thereby changing the width between the two groups of second tracks 7. Since the second track 7 is fixedly connected to the support seat 1, and the first track 2 is installed on the support seat 1, when the second track 7 moves in the y direction, the support seat 1 also moves in the y direction (the lower end of one of the support seats 1 is installed on the sliding rail and can slide). That is, the workpiece conveying device of the embodiment can adjust the width of the working area and the material waiting area to adapt to workpieces of different widths.

[0047] In conclusion, the workpiece conveying device, the first track 2 is set to be liftable, can spare to install independent jacking mechanism between two support seats 1, can simplify the overall structure of workpiece conveying device, and, the workpiece is placed on the workpiece bearing table 4 in the mode of track lifting, can improve the position accuracy of workpiece, and the convenience of operation.
