[0026] The present application will be further described below in combination with the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Figure 2 to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Figure 6 and specific embodiments.

[0027] The utility model provides a tray conveying device, including conveying platform 20 and interval setting first tray support subassembly 41 and second tray support subassembly 42 in conveying platform 20 below, conveying platform 20 is provided with a plurality of conveying roller 22 parallelly, interval is provided with between any two adjacent conveying roller 22, first tray support subassembly 41 and second tray support subassembly 42 can all pass through interval and lift, conveying platform 20 has the first station section 31 corresponding with first tray support subassembly 41, second station section 32 corresponding with second tray support subassembly 42 in its conveying direction, and the end of first station section 31 and second station section 32 all are provided with in -place sensor group 50, first tray support subassembly 41 and second tray support subassembly 42 and two in -place sensor group 50 all are mutually electrically connected.

[0028] When the in -place sensor group 50 of first station section 31 end does not detect the information of tray 10 when tray 10 is transported on conveying platform 20, tray 10 continues to transport on conveying platform 20, transports to second station section 32, when the in -place sensor group 50 of second station section 32 end detects the information of tray 10, the information of detected tray 10 is transmitted to second tray support subassembly 42 below second station section 32, and the lifting drive 421 below second tray support subassembly 42 is started, drives tray 10 on second station section 32 to lift, starts to fill with clematis hexapetala; when tray 10 is transported to first station section 31, the information of tray 10 is transmitted to first tray support subassembly 41 below first station section 31 after the in -place sensor group 50 of first station section 31 end detects the information of tray 10, and the lifting drive 421 below first tray support subassembly 41 is started, drives tray 10 on first station section 31 to lift, and tray 10 is lifted from the conveying roller 22 of conveying platform 20 through first tray support subassembly 41 and second tray support subassembly 42, to avoid the wear and tear of the bottom of tray 10 caused by the continuous contact of tray 10 with conveying roller 22 in the transmission process.

[0029] Further, first tray support subassembly 41 and second tray support subassembly 42 all include lifting drive 421, cross plate 422 and two support plates 423, lifting drive 421 is set below conveying platform 20, cross plate 422 is set at the output end of lifting drive 421, and is located between lifting drive 421 and conveying platform 20, two support plates 423 are set apart in the conveying direction on the side of cross plate 422 away from lifting drive 421, the setting interval of two support plates 423 is less than the length of tray 10 in the conveying direction, two support plates 423 can lift through two intervals synchronously, and lifting drive 421 is electrically connected with two in -place sensor groups 50.

[0030] The position information of the tray 10 transferred to the first work station section 31 and the second work station section 32 is detected by the in-place sensor set 50 arranged on the conveying platform 20, and then transmitted to the lifting drive 421 below the first tray support assembly 41 and the second tray support assembly 42. The lifting drive 421 is activated to drive the first tray support assembly 41 and the second tray support assembly 42 to lift, thereby lifting the tray 10 from the conveying platform 20 to avoid continuous wear of the tray 10 on the conveying roller 22.

[0031] In addition, the loading weight of the tray 10 on the second work station section 32 cannot be accurately detected during the transfer of the tray 10 above the conveying platform 20, which can easily cause the tray 10 on the second work station section 32 to be overfilled or underfilled during the loading of the day lily.

[0032] To avoid such situations, further, the weight sensor 424 is arranged on the upper end surface of the support plate 423, and the weight sensor 424 is electrically connected to the lifting drive 421.

[0033] The weight sensor 424 arranged on the upper end surface of the support plate 423 of the second tray support assembly 42 can detect the loading weight of the day lily in real time during the loading of the day lily into the tray 10. If the weight of the day lily loaded into the tray 10 is about 10 kg when the tray 10 is full, the upper and lower limit values of the weight signal of the weight sensor 424 are set to 9.5 kg to 10.5 kg. When the weight sensor 424 detects that the weight of the day lily loaded into the tray 10 reaches this range, the weight signal is transmitted to the lifting drive 421 below the second tray support assembly 42, and the lifting drive 421 is activated to drive the tray 10 to descend to the horizontal plane of the conveying platform 20, and then the full day lily loaded into the tray 10 is conveyed out by the conveying platform 20.

[0034] Further, two limiting grooves 11 are arranged on the bottom of the tray 10 perpendicular to the conveying direction, and the two limiting grooves 11 correspond to the two support plates 423 of the first tray support assembly 41 and the second tray support assembly 42.

[0035] Since the tray 10 needs to be supported by the two support plates 423 under the first tray support assembly 41 and the second tray support assembly 42 during the conveying process, the tray 10 is lifted from the conveying roller 22 of the conveying platform 20 to avoid continuous friction of the tray 10 on the conveying roller 22. In order to avoid the tray 10 from slipping when being lifted by the support plates 423, two limiting grooves 11 are provided on the bottom of the tray 10 in the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, and the support plates 423 correspond to the limiting grooves 11 on the bottom of the tray 10, so as to avoid the tray 10 from slipping when being lifted by the support plates 423.

[0036] Further, the in-place sensor set 50 comprises a first in-place sensor 51, a second in-place sensor 52 and a fixed rod 53. The first in-place sensor 51 and the second in-place sensor 52 can be one of an infrared sensor, a photoelectric sensor or other sensors capable of detecting object signals. The fixed rod 53 is arranged on the outer frame of the conveying platform 20, and the first in-place sensor 51 and the second in-place sensor 52 are arranged in the height direction and spaced apart from each other on the fixed rod 53. The first tray support assembly 41, the second tray support assembly 42, the first in-place sensor 51 and the second in-place sensor 52 are electrically connected to each other. The first in-place sensor 51 corresponds to the conveying plane of the conveying platform 20, and the second in-place sensor 52 of the first workpiece section 31 corresponds to the height position of the first tray support assembly 41 in the extended state, so as to ensure that the tray 10 can be detected when being lifted and lowered by the lifting driving element 421. The second in-place sensor 52 of the second workpiece section 32 corresponds to the height position of the second tray support assembly 42 in the extended state.

[0037] When the first in-place sensor 51 and the second in-place sensor 52 of the second workpiece section 32 do not detect the information of the tray 10 when the tray 10 is conveyed on the conveying platform 20, the tray 10 on the first workpiece section 31 continues to be conveyed forward on the conveying platform 20. When the tray 10 is conveyed to the second workpiece section 32, the first in-place sensor 51 of the second workpiece section 32 detects the signal of the tray 10 and transmits the signal to the lifting driving element 421 under the second tray support assembly 42. The lifting driving element 421 is started to lift the second tray support assembly 42. After the tray 10 on the second workpiece section 32 is filled with the day lily, the weight sensor 424 on the support plate 423 of the second tray support assembly 42 detects the weight change and transmits the weight signal to the lifting driving element 421 under the second tray support assembly 42. The lifting driving element 421 falls to lower the tray 10 on the second workpiece section 32, and the tray 10 is conveyed out through the conveying platform 20.

[0038] Specifically, in another embodiment, the in-position sensor group 50 is a light curtain sensor, the maximum extended position of the first tray support assembly 41 and the second tray support assembly 42 is a first position, and the detection height of the light curtain sensor is from the conveying plane of the conveying platform 20 to the first position. Since the light curtain sensor has a vertical height, it is not necessary to set two sensors up and down, and only one sensor can detect the object information on the conveying platform 20 plane and the vertical height.

[0039] Further, the conveying platform 20 further comprises a platform frame 21 and a driving motor 23, a plurality of conveying rollers 22 are sequentially and spacedly arranged on the platform frame 21, both ends of each conveying roller 22 are provided with a gear, and the gears at both ends of adjacent conveying rollers 22 are sequentially and drivingly connected through a transmission chain, and the driving motor 23 is arranged on the conveying roller 22 at one end of the conveying platform 20.

[0040] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present application are only examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the implementation modes of the present application. Based on the above description, those skilled in the art can make other different forms of changes or modifications. Here, it is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation modes.
