[0026] Embodiments:
[0027] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the first aspect, the present application provides a conveying mechanism for conveying sheet material, which comprises a conveyor belt 1 and a limiting block 2 arranged on the conveyor belt 1, the limiting blocks 2 collectively form a limiting space 3; the limiting block 2 comprises a main body part 21 and a buffer part 22 arranged on the inner side of the main body part 21; the inner side wall of the buffer part 22 is inclined inward from top to bottom, and at least the bottom region of the inner side wall of the buffer part 22 is a transition smooth curved surface structure, which is concave from inside to outside.
[0028] The transmission mechanism sets the sheet material in the positioning area formed by the limiting block 2 when transmitting the sheet material, positions the sheet material, and prevents the sheet material from moving relative to the conveying belt 1 during transmission; the curved surface structure on the inner side wall of the buffer portion 22 buffers the force between the sheet material and the limiting block 2 when the sheet material shakes during transmission, protects the sheet material while positioning the sheet material, and further avoids damage to the sheet material during transmission; in addition, the inner side wall of the buffer portion 22 is inclined inward from top to bottom, so that the positioning area formed by the limiting block 2 is an open area, that is, the area of the top plane of the positioning area is greater than that of the bottom plane, which facilitates the placement of the sheet material and further avoids damage to the sheet material. The transmission mechanism described in the application is suitable for transmission of sheet materials including battery sheets, and plays a positioning and protection role for the transmitted sheet material during transmission, avoiding deflection or displacement of the sheet material during transmission, facilitating the next pick-and-place operation while avoiding damage to the sheet material during transmission. The sheet material includes battery sheets, wafers, PCB boards, or LED aluminum substrates, etc. As an option, during the transmission of the sheet material using the transmission mechanism, the edge of the sheet material contacts the bottom of the buffer portion, or a gap is provided between the sheet material and the bottom of the buffer portion.
[0029] Optionally, referring to Figure 2 , the inner side wall of the buffer portion 22 is a transitionally smooth curved surface structure as a whole; or referring to Figure 3 , at least the bottom region of the inner side wall of the buffer portion 22 is a transitionally smooth curved surface structure, including that the bottom of the inner side wall of the buffer portion 22 is a transitionally smooth curved surface structure, and the rest is a plane.
[0030] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , the limiting block 2 further includes a stepped portion 23 provided at the bottom of the buffer portion 22; the stepped portion 23 is provided at the inner side of the main body portion 21, and the stepped portion 23 extends from the main body portion 21 to protrude from the buffer portion 22.
[0031] In use, the edge region of the sheet material is provided on the stepped portion 23, the sheet material provided on the stepped portion 23 is raised, the distance between the sheet material and the grabbing device is shortened, the grabbing device is facilitated to adsorb the battery sheet, the swing amplitude of the suction cup when adsorbing the battery sheet is reduced, the collision risk is reduced, the sheet material is avoided from directly contacting the conveying belt 1, and the conveying belt 1 is avoided from causing pollution to the sheet material.
[0032] Optionally, at least the buffer portion 22 and the step portion 23 of the limiting block 2 are made of flexible graphene, i.e. the inner side of the limiting block 2 that contacts the material being transported is made of flexible graphene. The flexible graphene material has good flexibility, which improves the buffering effect of the interaction force between the sheet material being transported on the conveying mechanism and the limiting block 2, and further improves the protection of the sheet material.
[0033] Specifically, for example, in some embodiments, the buffer portion 22 and the step portion 23 are made of flexible graphene. On the one hand, the main body portion 21 can rigidly support the buffer portion 22 and the step portion 23, improving the overall stability of the limiting block 2. On the other hand, the main body portion 21 can be made of other materials that are lower in cost than the buffer portion 22 and the step portion 23, further reducing the cost of the limiting block 2. In other embodiments, the entire limiting block 2 is made of flexible graphene. The limiting block 2 is made of one material, simplifying the manufacturing process of the limiting block 2 and improving the manufacturing efficiency of the limiting block 2.
[0034] Optionally, in other embodiments, at least the buffer portion 22 and the step portion 23 of the limiting block 2 are made of flexible material, i.e. the inner side of the limiting block 2 that contacts the material being transported is made of flexible material. This improves the buffering effect of the interaction force between the sheet material being transported on the conveying mechanism and the limiting block 2, and further improves the protection of the sheet material. Specifically, the flexible material is rubber material.
[0035] Specifically, for example, in some embodiments, the buffer portion 22 and the step portion 23 are made of flexible material. On the one hand, the main body portion 21 can rigidly support the buffer portion 22 and the step portion 23, improving the overall stability of the limiting block 2. On the other hand, the main body portion 21 can be made of other materials that are lower in cost than the buffer portion 22 and the step portion 23, further reducing the cost of the limiting block 2. In other embodiments, the entire limiting block 2 is made of flexible material. The limiting block 2 is made of one material, simplifying the manufacturing process of the limiting block 2 and improving the manufacturing efficiency of the limiting block 2.
[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting block 2 is arranged along a rectangular path on the surface of the conveying belt 1.
[0037] Further, the limiting blocks 2 are arranged along the rectangular path, the number of the limiting blocks 2 is 8, and two limiting blocks 2 are arranged on each side of the rectangular path. Of course, the number of the limiting blocks 2 can be other numbers in other embodiments.

It can be understood that in other embodiments, the distribution path of the limiting blocks 2 can also be set according to the outer contour of the sheet material to be conveyed, and is not limited to the rectangular path.
[0038] The limiting blocks 2 are detachably connected to the conveying belt 1 through the fixing connectors. Optionally, the fixing connectors include positioning screws. The detachable connection between the limiting blocks 2 and the conveying belt 1 can facilitate replacement and maintenance of the limiting blocks 2 while the limiting blocks 2 are fixed to the conveying belt. The arrangement position of the fixing connectors can also be set according to actual needs; for example, the fixing connectors are arranged in the region corresponding to the main body part 21 or the region corresponding to the stepped part 23.

That is, the sheet material is a battery piece. The battery piece conveying device is used in the production process of solar battery pieces, for example, in a battery piece sorting device. Specifically, in use, the limiting blocks 2 are arranged circumferentially around the battery piece 5 to form the limiting space 3, and the battery piece 5 is arranged in the limiting space 3. When the conveying mechanism conveys the battery piece 5, the battery piece 5 is arranged in the positioning area formed by the limiting blocks 2 to position the battery piece 5, so as to prevent the battery piece 5 from being displaced relative to the conveying belt 1 during the conveying process. The curved structure on the inner side wall of the buffer portion 22 can buffer the force between the battery piece and the limiting blocks 2 when the battery piece shakes during the conveying process, so as to protect the battery piece during positioning, thereby avoiding damage to the battery piece during the conveying process. In addition, the inner side wall of the buffer portion 22 is inclined inward from top to bottom, so that the positioning area formed by the limiting blocks 2 is an open area, that is, the area of the top plane of the positioning area is greater than that of the bottom plane, which facilitates the placement of the battery piece, thereby avoiding damage to the battery piece. The edge area of the battery piece is arranged on the stepped portion 23, and the battery piece arranged on the stepped portion 23 is raised, so as to shorten the distance between the battery piece and the taking head 4, facilitate the adsorption of the battery piece by the grabbing device, thereby reduce the swinging range of the taking head 4 when adsorbing the battery piece, reduce the risk of collision, avoid direct contact between the battery piece and the conveying belt 1, and avoid contamination of the battery piece by the conveying belt 1. As an option, during the conveying process of the battery piece by the conveying mechanism, the edge of the battery piece contacts the bottom of the buffer portion, or a gap is provided between the battery piece and the bottom of the buffer portion.
