[0036] As shown in FIG. 1, it is a battery piece conveying device according to an embodiment of the present application. Figures 2 to 5As shown, the chain transmission assembly 20 includes two symmetrically arranged chain conveyors 20a, each of which includes a plurality of rollers 21, a plurality of first chain plates 221, and a plurality of second chain plates 222.

[0037] The plurality of rollers 21 are sequentially and spacedly arranged along a conveying direction S1 of the flower basket 10. Each roller 21 includes a roller shaft 211 and a roller drum 212 sleeved on the roller shaft 211. The length direction of the roller shaft 211 is perpendicular to the conveying direction S1, and the length direction of the roller drum 212 is perpendicular to the conveying direction S1.

[0038] Each first chain plate 221 connects the end portions 211a of two adjacent roller shafts 211, and each second chain plate 222 connects the end portions 211a of two adjacent roller shafts 211. The second chain plate 222 is located on the side of the first chain plate 221 away from the roller drum 212, and the plurality of first chain plates 221 and the plurality of second chain plates 222 are staggered. The first chain plate 221 can also be referred to as an inner chain plate, and the second chain plate 222 can also be referred to as an outer chain plate.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the height direction S2 of the battery piece conveying device 100, the top of the roller drum 212 is higher than the top of the first chain plate 221 and the top of the second chain plate 222, and the bottom plate 11 of the flower basket 10 is placed on the top of the roller drum 212. The flower basket 10 is placed on the two chain conveyors 20a respectively and is conveyed by the driving of the chain conveyors 20a.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5As shown, the first limiting assembly 30 is arranged on the top of the first chain plate 221 or the top of the second chain plate 222, and the first limiting assembly 30 is connected to the first chain plate 221 in the drawings. The first limiting assembly 30 includes a first fixing part 31 and a first limiting part 32 connected to each other. The first fixing part 31 is connected to the top of the first chain plate 221 or the top of the second chain plate 222. The first limiting part 32 extends from the top end of the first fixing part 31 to the direction close to the other chain conveying mechanism 20a, and the first limiting part 32 is used to be opposite to the side surface of the bottom plate 11. A plurality of first limiting assemblies 30 are arranged on the chain conveying mechanism 20a. Two first limiting assemblies 30 arranged opposite to each other on the two chain conveying mechanisms 20a form a group. When the flower basket 10 is placed on the two chain conveying mechanisms 20a, a plurality of first limiting assemblies 30 are arranged opposite to the flower basket 10. The two first limiting parts 32 arranged opposite to each other in each group are respectively located on both sides of the bottom plate 11 in the width direction S3 of the battery piece conveying device 100. When the bottom plate 11 approaches one of the first limiting parts 32 during the transmission of the flower basket 10, the first limiting part 32 abuts against the side surface of the bottom plate 10 to limit the flower basket 10 in the width direction S3. The transmission path of the flower basket 10 is a straight line to ensure the stable transmission of the flower basket 10. Exemplarily, one first limiting assembly 30 can be arranged on the top of each second chain plate 222.

[0041] In the embodiment, the top of the roller is arranged to be higher than the top of the first chain plate and the top of the second chain plate. The flower basket is placed on the roller, and the first limiting assembly is used to ensure the stable transmission of the flower basket. Through the cooperation of the roller and the first limiting assembly, any position of the chain transmission assembly can be used as the placement position of the flower basket. The placement position of the flower basket is more flexible, which is beneficial to improve the transmission efficiency.

[0042] As an embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the battery piece conveying device 100 further includes a second limiting assembly 40. The second limiting assembly 40 is arranged outside the chain conveying mechanism 20a. Two second limiting assemblies 40 arranged opposite to each other form a group. The two second limiting assemblies 40 in each group are respectively arranged outside the two chain conveying mechanisms 20a.

[0043] The second limiting assembly 40 includes a second fixing part 41 and a second limiting part 42. The second limiting part 42 extends from the top end of the second fixing part 41 to the direction close to the other chain conveying mechanism 20a. The side of the second limiting part 42 away from the second fixing part 41 is used to be opposite to the edge of the upper surface of the bottom plate 11.

[0044] The two second limiting parts 42 arranged oppositely in each group are respectively located at the two edges of the upper surface of the bottom plate 11 in the width direction S3 of the battery piece conveying device 100. When the bottom plate 11 approaches one of the second limiting parts 42 during the transmission of the flower basket 10, the second limiting part 42 abuts against the edge of the upper surface of the bottom plate 10 to limit the flower basket 10 in the height direction S2, preventing the flower basket 10 from tilting to ensure the stable transmission of the flower basket 10.

[0045] Exemplarily, the plurality of second limiting assemblies 40 are uniformly spaced outside the chain conveying mechanism 20a.

[0046] Exemplarily, the second limiting assembly 40 can be arranged at the machining inlet and the machining outlet of each machining station.

[0047] In some embodiments, the battery piece conveying device 100 further comprises a support mechanism 50, at least part of the rollers 21 in the chain conveying mechanism 20a is located above the support mechanism 50, and the second fixing part 41 can be arranged on the support mechanism 50.

The chain transmission assembly 20 continues to run relative to the flower basket 10. The first limiting assembly 30 and the second limiting assembly 40 cooperate to ensure that the flower basket 10 can still be kept stable when the chain transmission assembly 20 continues to transmit. When the conditions for entering the machining station are met, the blocking mechanism 60 cancels the blocking of the flower basket 10, and the flower basket 10 continues to run with the chain transmission assembly 20 to transport the flower basket 10 to the machining station. When the battery piece in the flower basket 10 is machined in the machining station, the flower basket 10 approaches the machining exit. The blocking mechanism 60 at the machining exit blocks the flower basket 10, and the flower basket 10 stops transmission. The chain transmission assembly 20 continues to run relative to the flower basket 10. The first limiting assembly 30 and the second limiting assembly 40 cooperate to ensure that the flower basket 10 can still be kept stable when the chain transmission assembly 20 continues to transmit. When the conditions for leaving the machining station are met, the blocking mechanism 60 cancels the blocking of the flower basket 10, and the flower basket 10 continues to run with the chain transmission assembly 20 to transport the flower basket 10 away from the machining station.

[0053] In the embodiment, the top of the fixed block 61 is below the lower surface of the bottom plate 11 in the height direction S2. When the telescopic rod 62 is extended out of the fixed block 61, the top of the telescopic rod 62 is higher than the upper surface of the bottom plate 11 in the height direction S2, so as to block the flower basket 10. When the telescopic rod 62 is retracted into the fixed block 61, the blocking of the flower basket 10 is cancelled, and the bottom plate 11 can pass through the top of the fixed block 61 to continue to be transmitted with the chain transmission assembly 20 at any time.

[0055] Exemplarily, the first sprocket 23 can be a driving sprocket, and the second sprocket 24 can be a driven sprocket.

[0056] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 7 As shown, the movement trajectory of the chain transmission mechanism 20a comprises a first straight line 201, a first semicircle 202, a second straight line 203, and a second semicircle 204 in sequence, and the first straight line 201 is parallel to the second straight line 203.
