DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

The present application can be implemented without some of the specific details, which are well known to those skilled in the art. The following description of the embodiments is merely provided to provide a better understanding of the present application by showing examples of the present application.

Also, the terms "comprises", "comprising", or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but can include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without more limitations, an element defined by an "comprising" statement is not excluded from a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element - other than where a contrary intention is expressly stated.

[0027] Referring to Figure 1 In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a conveying device 100, comprising a support mechanism 110 and a plurality of conveying mechanisms 120, the support mechanism 110 is provided with a support surface 111; the plurality of conveying mechanisms 120 are arranged on the support surface 111, each conveying mechanism 120 defines a conveying area AA, the conveying mechanism 120 is used to convey articles in the corresponding conveying area AA along a first direction X, the conveying areas AA of at least part of the conveying mechanisms 120 are different in width L along a second direction Y, the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y.

[0028] It should be noted that the conveying device 100 of the present application can be applied to any field requiring article conveying, for example, the conveying device 100 of the present application can be applied to the field of warehouse logistics. The articles mentioned in the embodiments of the present application can be articles to be conveyed, or the articles can also be pallets used to carry articles to be conveyed, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0029] The first direction X and the second direction Y are two directions perpendicular to each other, the first direction X can be one of the length direction and the width direction of the support surface 111, and the second direction Y is the other one.

[0030] The support mechanism 110 is used to support and position the conveying mechanism 120, and the support mechanism 110 can be a support rack or other structures, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. The support mechanism 110 is provided with a support surface 111, which is a surface used to directly contact the conveying mechanism 120, and the conveying mechanism 120 is arranged on the support surface 111 to transport articles under the support of the support mechanism 110.

[0031] The conveying mechanism 120 is configured to convey the articles along the first direction X. The conveying mechanism 120 can be provided in a plurality of numbers, and the plurality of conveying mechanisms 120 can simultaneously convey the articles along the first direction X to improve the conveying efficiency of the conveying device 100. The number of the conveying mechanisms 120 can be flexibly set according to actual conditions. For example, the number of the conveying mechanisms 120 can be two or three, so as to reduce the production cost of the conveying device 100 on the basis of improving the conveying efficiency and the conveying capacity of the conveying device 100. Each of the plurality of conveying mechanisms 120 defines a conveying area AA, which can include a region on the corresponding conveying mechanism 120 that can be used for the articles to move along the first direction X, and the conveying area AA can also include a hollow region formed by the aforementioned region used for the articles to move. Each of the conveying mechanisms 120 conveys the articles along the first direction X in the corresponding conveying area AA. Therefore, the width L of the conveying area AA along the second direction Y affects the size of the articles that can be transported by the conveying mechanism 120.

[0032] In the embodiments of the present application, the width L of the conveying area AA of at least part of the conveying mechanisms 120 along the second direction Y is different. Therefore, different sizes of articles can be simultaneously transported by the at least part of the conveying mechanisms 120, so as to improve the conveying capacity of the conveying device 100.

[0033] It should be noted that the conveying mechanism 120 can include a conveying member 121 configured to convey the articles along the first direction X, and a support configured to be connected to the support mechanism 110 and to realize the installation of the conveying member 121. The conveying mechanism 120 can have various structures. For example, the conveying mechanism 120 can be a chain conveying mechanism 120, a belt conveying mechanism 120, a roller 1232 conveying mechanism 120, or a combination of the above mechanisms. The embodiments of the present application are not limited in this regard.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the plurality of conveying mechanisms 120 at least includes a first conveying mechanism 120A and a second conveying mechanism 120B. The projection of the first conveying mechanism 120A on the support surface 111 along the third direction Z defines a first projection area S1, and the projection of the second conveying mechanism 120B on the support surface 111 along the third direction Z defines a second projection area S2. The second projection area S2 and the first projection area S1 are arranged in an overlapping manner, and the height H of the second conveying mechanism 120B along the third direction Z is greater than the height H of the first conveying mechanism 120A along the third direction Z. The first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.

[0035] The third direction Z is a direction perpendicular to the support surface 111, which can be the height direction of the support mechanism 110.

[0036] Specifically, the first projection area S1 can include a projection of the first conveying mechanism 120A on the support surface 111 along the third direction Z, and can also include a hollow area corresponding to the projection. Similarly, the second projection area S2 can include a projection of the second conveying mechanism 120B on the support surface 111 along the third direction Z, and can also include a hollow area corresponding to the projection. It should be noted that the hollow area corresponding to the projection can be a hollow area enclosed by the projection, or when the projection includes a first part and a second part arranged at intervals, the hollow area can be an area between the first part and the second part. It should be noted that the "overlapping arrangement" in the embodiments of the present application can mean that the two projection areas partially overlap, or can also mean that the two projection areas completely overlap, and the present embodiments do not limit this.

[0037] It can be understood that the first conveying mechanism 120A and the second conveying mechanism 120B are both arranged on the bearing surface, and therefore, the height H of the first conveying mechanism 120A along the third direction Z can be the distance from the side of the first conveying mechanism 120A facing the support surface 111 to the support surface 111, and the height H of the second conveying mechanism 120B along the third direction Z can be the distance from the side of the second conveying mechanism 120B facing the support surface 111 to the support surface 111.

[0038] In these embodiments, the first projection area S1 and the second projection area S2 are arranged in an overlapping manner, which can reduce the space occupation of the first conveying mechanism 120A and the second conveying mechanism 120B on the support surface 111 to a certain extent compared with the case where the first projection area S1 and the second projection area S2 are arranged in a staggered manner, thereby improving the space utilization of the conveying device 100. At the same time, since the height H of the second conveying mechanism 120B along the third direction Z is greater than the height H of the first conveying mechanism 120A along the third direction Z, the first conveying mechanism 120A and the second conveying mechanism 120B can convey articles at different height positions, which can reduce the risk of mutual interference of the articles conveyed by the first conveying mechanism 120A and the second conveying mechanism 120B, and improve the reliability and safety of article conveying.

[0039] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the width L1 of the conveying area AA of the second conveying mechanism 120B along the second direction Y is greater than the width L2 of the conveying area AA of the first conveying mechanism 120A along the second direction Y, and the first projection area S1 is located in the second projection area S2.

[0040] In these embodiments, the width L1 of the conveying area AA of the second conveying mechanism 120B along the second direction Y is greater than the width L2 of the conveying area AA of the first conveying mechanism 120A along the second direction Y, so that the first conveying mechanism 120A and the second conveying mechanism 120B can be used to convey different sizes of articles, thereby improving the conveying capacity of the conveying device 100. The first projection area S1 is located within the second projection area S2, so that the space occupation of the first conveying mechanism 120A and the second conveying mechanism 120B on the support surface 111 can be further reduced, and the space utilization of the conveying device 100 is improved.

[0041] In some optional embodiments, the second conveying mechanism 120B can be provided integrally, and part of the second conveying mechanism 120B is located on the side of the first conveying mechanism 120A away from the support surface 111 and is spaced apart from the surface of the side of the first conveying mechanism 120A away from the support surface 111, so that the side of the first conveying mechanism 120A away from the support surface 111 and the side of the second conveying mechanism 120B away from the support surface 111 can be used to convey articles at the same time.

[0042] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In other optional embodiments, the second conveying mechanism 120B includes two conveying members 121 for transporting articles along the first direction X, the two conveying members 121 are provided on both sides of the first conveying mechanism 120A along the second direction Y, the conveying members 121 define conveying sub-areas, and the conveying sub-areas of the two conveying members 121 together define the conveying area AA, and the projections of the two conveying members 121 on the support surface 111 along the third direction Z together define the second projection area S2.

[0043] The two conveying members 121 can be used to convey articles along the first direction X, and each conveying member 121 is formed with a conveying sub-area, which is an area on the corresponding conveying member 121 that carries articles and enables the articles to move along the first direction X. The conveying sub-areas of the two conveying members 121 together define the conveying area AA. Specifically, the conveying sub-area can include a first side close to the first conveying mechanism 120A and a second side away from the first conveying mechanism 120A, the first side and the second side are oppositely arranged along the second direction Y, and the conveying area AA of the second conveying mechanism 120B can be located between the second sides of the two conveying sub-areas, the second sides of the two conveying members 121 can serve as two edges of the conveying area AA along the second direction Y, that is, the conveying area AA includes the two conveying sub-areas and the hollow area between the two conveying sub-areas.

[0044] It can be understood that when the second conveying mechanism 120B conveys the articles along the first direction X, the two conveying members 121 can simultaneously carry the same conveyed article, that is, the conveyed article is placed on the conveying sub-areas of the two conveying members 121 at the same time, and the conveyed article along the third direction Z respectively contacts the surface of the support surface 111 and the surface of the support surface 111 away from the two conveying members 121 along the third direction Z.

[0045] It needs to be clear that in the embodiment, the height H of the second conveying mechanism 120B along the third direction Z is greater than the height H of the first conveying mechanism 120A along the third direction Z, which means that the height H of the two conveying members 121 along the third direction Z is greater than the height H of the first conveying mechanism 120A along the third direction Z, and when the first conveying mechanism 120A and the second conveying mechanism 120B simultaneously convey articles of different sizes, the articles of different sizes can be conveyed by the first conveying mechanism 120A and the second conveying mechanism 120B at different height positions respectively, which can reduce the risk of mutual interference between the articles conveyed by the first conveying mechanism 120A and the articles conveyed by the second conveying mechanism 120B.

[0046] The second projection area S2 of the second conveying mechanism 120B is jointly formed by the projections of the two conveying members 121 along the third direction Z on the support surface 111, and the second projection area S2 can include the projections of the two conveying members 121 along the third direction Z on the support surface 111 and the hollow area between the projections of the two conveying members 121. It can be understood that the conveying area AA of the first conveying mechanism 120A can be located within the first projection area S1, and the conveying area AA of the second conveying mechanism 120B can be located within the corresponding second projection area S2. In addition, the first projection area S1 can also include other areas outside the conveying area AA of the first conveying mechanism 120A, and the second projection area S2 can also include other areas outside the conveying area AA of the second conveying mechanism 120B, for example, the first projection area S1 or the second projection area S2 can also include the projection area of the bracket for mounting the conveying member 121 along the third direction Z on the support surface 111 in the conveying mechanism 120. Since the two conveying members 121 are located on both sides of the first conveying mechanism 120A along the second direction Y, the first projection area S1 of the first conveying mechanism 120A is located within the second projection area S2 of the second conveying mechanism 120B.

[0047] In the embodiments, the second conveying mechanism 120B includes two conveying members 121 arranged on both sides of the first conveying mechanism 120A along the second direction Y, which can enable the first conveying mechanism 120A and the second conveying mechanism 120B to convey different sizes of articles at the same time, so that the conveying device 100 has a higher conveying capacity, and can reduce the space occupation of the first conveying mechanism 120A and the second conveying mechanism 120B on the support surface 111, while avoiding the overall height of the conveying device 100 along the third direction Z being too large, so as to further improve the space utilization of the conveying device 100. In addition, the second conveying mechanism 120B including the conveying members 121 arranged on both sides of the first conveying mechanism 120A along the second direction Y can also reduce the risk of interference between the articles conveyed by the first conveying mechanism 120A and the articles conveyed by the second conveying mechanism 120B, and improve the reliability and safety of article conveying.

[0048] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the number of the second conveying mechanisms 120B is multiple, each second conveying mechanism 120B is distributed away from the first conveying mechanism 120A, and the second projection areas S2 of each second conveying mechanism 120B are arranged in overlapping manner, and along the direction away from the first conveying mechanism 120A, the height H of each second conveying mechanism 120B along the third direction Z gradually increases.

[0049] The plurality of second conveying mechanisms 120B are arranged on the support surface 111, and each second conveying mechanism 120B is distributed in a direction away from the first conveying mechanism 120A. It can be understood that when the second conveying mechanism 120B includes two conveying pieces 121, the two conveying pieces 121 in each second conveying mechanism 120B are respectively located on both sides of the first conveying mechanism 120A in the second direction Y, and the conveying pieces 121 of each second conveying mechanism 120B can be arranged in sequence in the second direction Y in a direction away from the first conveying mechanism 120A. For example, when the number of second conveying mechanisms 120B is two, the two conveying pieces 121 of the first second conveying mechanism 120B are respectively located on both sides of the first conveying mechanism 120A in the second direction Y, and one of the two conveying pieces 121 of the second second conveying mechanism 120B is located on one side of the conveying piece 121 of the first second conveying mechanism 120B away from the first conveying mechanism 120A in the second direction Y, and the other is located on the other conveying piece 121 of the first second conveying mechanism 120B away from the first conveying mechanism 120A in the second direction Y, that is, the two conveying pieces 121 of the second second conveying mechanism 120B are respectively located on both sides of the first second conveying mechanism 120B in the second direction Y. Alternatively, when the second conveying mechanism 120B is arranged as a whole and part of the second conveying mechanism 120B is located on the side of the first conveying mechanism 120A away from the support surface 111, each second conveying mechanism 120B can be arranged in sequence in the third direction Z in a direction away from the first conveying mechanism 120A.

[0050] In these embodiments, a plurality of second conveying mechanisms 120B are arranged to be distributed in a direction away from the first conveying mechanism 120A, and the second projection areas S2 of each second conveying mechanism 120B are arranged to overlap, so that the space occupation of each second conveying mechanism 120B on the support surface 111 can be reduced to a certain extent, and the space utilization of the conveying device 100 is improved. Moreover, in the direction away from the first conveying mechanism 120A, the height H of each second conveying mechanism 120B in the third direction Z gradually increases, so that each second conveying mechanism 120B can convey articles at different height positions, thereby reducing the risk of mutual interference of articles conveyed by adjacent two second conveying mechanisms 120B, and improving the reliability and safety of article conveying.

[0051] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, in any two second conveying mechanisms 120B, the second projection area S2 of the one close to the first conveying mechanism 120A is located in the second projection area S2 of the one away from the first conveying mechanism 120A, and in the direction away from the first conveying mechanism 120A, the width L of the conveying area AA of each second conveying mechanism 120B in the second direction Y gradually increases.

[0052] Specifically, the second projection area S2 of one of the two second conveying mechanisms 120B close to the first conveying mechanism 120A is located within the second projection area S2 of the other second conveying mechanism 120B away from the first conveying mechanism 120A, that is, the second projection areas S2 of the two second conveying mechanisms 120B overlap, and the area of the second projection area S2 of each second conveying mechanism 120B gradually increases in the direction away from the first conveying mechanism 120A.

[0053] In these embodiments, the second projection area S2 of one of the two second conveying mechanisms 120B close to the first conveying mechanism 120A is located within the second projection area S2 of the other second conveying mechanism 120B away from the first conveying mechanism 120A, so that the space occupation of each second conveying mechanism 120B on the support surface 111 can be further reduced, and the space utilization of the conveying device 100 is improved. In addition, the width L of the conveying area AA of each second conveying mechanism 120B in the second direction Y gradually increases in the direction away from the first conveying mechanism 120A, so that each second conveying mechanism 120B can be used to convey objects of different sizes, thereby further improving the conveying capacity of the conveying device 100.

[0054] In some embodiments, the two adjacent second conveying mechanisms 120B have a height difference in the third direction Z, and the height difference gradually increases or remains constant in the direction away from the first conveying mechanism 120A.

[0055] In the direction away from the first conveying mechanism 120A, the height H of each second conveying mechanism 120B in the third direction Z gradually increases, that is, any two adjacent second conveying mechanisms 120B have a height difference in the third direction Z.

[0056] It can be understood that, between the two adjacent second conveying mechanisms 120B, the side away from the support surface 111 of one of the two adjacent second conveying mechanisms 120B close to the first conveying mechanism 120A to the side away from the support surface 111 of the other second conveying mechanism 120B away from the first conveying mechanism 120A can define a transport space, which can be used for the above-mentioned second conveying mechanism 120B close to the first conveying mechanism 120A to transport objects. The height of the transport space in the third direction Z is the height difference of the two adjacent second conveying mechanisms 120B in the third direction Z. Since the width L of the conveying area AA of each second conveying mechanism 120B in the second direction Y gradually increases in the direction away from the first conveying mechanism 120A, the size of the objects that can be transported by each second conveying mechanism 120B can gradually increase in the direction away from the first conveying mechanism 120A.

[0057] Thus, the height difference between the two adjacent second conveying mechanisms 120B gradually increases in the direction away from the first conveying mechanism 120A, i.e., the height of the transport space formed between the two adjacent second conveying mechanisms 120B gradually increases in the direction away from the first conveying mechanism 120A, so that the size of each transport space can be adapted to the size of the transported object, reducing the risk of mutual interference of the objects conveyed on the two adjacent second conveying mechanisms 120B. Moreover, the size of each transport space adapted to the size of the transported object can also effectively reduce the overall height of the conveying device 100 in the third direction Z, improving the space utilization of the conveying device 100.

[0058] Alternatively, in the present embodiment, the height difference between the two adjacent second conveying mechanisms 120B can remain constant, so as to reduce the assembly difficulty of each second conveying mechanism 120B and improve the production efficiency of the conveying device 100.

[0059] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the conveying device 100 further comprises a plurality of driving mechanisms 130 connected with the plurality of conveying mechanisms 120, for driving each conveying mechanism 120 to operate, so as to improve the stability and reliability of the conveying mechanism 120 and improve the performance of the conveying device 100.

[0060] The driving mechanism 130 and the conveying mechanism 120 can be connected in various ways. Specifically, the plurality of driving mechanisms 130 can be connected with the plurality of conveying mechanisms 120 one-to-one, one driving mechanism 130 connected with one conveying mechanism 120, so as to realize independent driving of each conveying mechanism 120; alternatively, part of the driving mechanisms 130 can be connected with part of the conveying mechanisms 120 one-to-one, while any one of the remaining driving mechanisms 130 can be connected with a plurality of conveying mechanisms 120; or any one of the plurality of driving mechanisms 130 can be connected with a plurality of conveying mechanisms 120.

[0061] Alternatively, when one driving mechanism 130 is used to drive one conveying mechanism 120, or a plurality of driving mechanisms 130 are used to drive one conveying mechanism 120, the driving mechanism 130 itself can serve as part of the conveying mechanism 120 for conveying objects in the first direction X. For example, when the conveying mechanism 120 is a roller 1232 conveying mechanism 120, the driving mechanism 130 can be an electric roller 1232 installed in the roller 1232 conveying mechanism 120 for conveying objects in the first direction X.

[0062] Optionally, the number of the driving mechanisms 130 can be two, one of which is used to drive the first conveying mechanism 120A, and the other is used to drive the second conveying mechanism 120B. When the number of the second conveying mechanisms 120B is more than one, the plurality of second conveying mechanisms 120B can be driven by the same driving mechanism 130.
