[0031] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments and features can be combined with each other unless otherwise specified.

[0032] In the present embodiment, the second direction Y is parallel to the direction of gravity, and the first direction X and the third direction Z are both parallel to the horizontal plane, and the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.

[0033] In other embodiments, the second direction Y axis can also cross the direction of gravity, and the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.

[0034] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 The present application discloses a photovoltaic material processing equipment 100, comprising a processing device 20 and a conveying device 10, the processing device 20 is arranged on one side of the conveying device 10 along the first direction X, and in operation, the conveying device 10 conveys the sheet material (not shown) to be processed to the processing device 20, so that the processing device 20 processes the sheet material, and then the conveying device 10 conveys the processed sheet material from the processing device 20 to the next production process.

[0035] In some embodiments, the sheet material is a photovoltaic material such as a silicon wafer or a cell wafer.

[0036] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 The conveying device 10 comprises a feeding and discharging mechanism 11, a conveying mechanism 13 and a sheet connecting mechanism 12. The sheet connecting mechanism 12 is arranged above the conveying mechanism 13, and the feeding and discharging mechanism 11 is arranged between the sheet connecting mechanism 12 and the processing device 20. In operation, the feeding and discharging mechanism 11 obtains the processed sheet material from the processing device 20 and places it in the sheet connecting mechanism 12, and then the sheet connecting mechanism 12 transfers the processed sheet material to the conveying mechanism 13, and the conveying mechanism 13 conveys the processed sheet material to the outside along the first direction X, so that the sheet material enters the next processing procedure, thereby achieving the discharging of the processing device 20.

[0037] The conveying mechanism 13, the sheet connecting mechanism 12, the feeding and discharging mechanism 11 and the processing device 20 are arranged in the order of upstream to downstream along the direction of processing and conveying of the sheet material. The above-mentioned upstream and downstream are defined according to the direction of the flow of the sheet material, and are not limited to the actual spatial arrangement.

[0038] In some embodiments, a carrier for carrying the sheet material is movably arranged within the processing device 20, and the loading and unloading mechanism 11 acquires or releases the sheet material on the carrier, and the carrier transfers the sheet material into the processing device 20.

[0039] In some embodiments, the carrier is part of the processing device 20.

[0040] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the loading and unloading mechanism 11 is arranged above the loading and unloading area 130, and the at least part of the tabbing mechanism 12 is capable of being located within the loading and unloading area 130, and the working part of the loading and unloading mechanism 11 is capable of moving into the loading and unloading area 130 to insert or remove the sheet material.

[0041] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and 3 , the tabbing mechanism 12 comprises a first lifting assembly 122, a first carrying assembly 121, one or more second lifting assemblies 123, one or more translation assemblies 124, and one or more second carrying assemblies 125. The first lifting assembly 122 is connected to the first carrying assembly 121, the second lifting assembly 123 is connected to the translation assembly 124, and the translation assembly 124 is connected to the second carrying assembly 125. In the first direction X, the second carrying assembly 125 is located on one side or both sides of the first carrying assembly 121. The first carrying assembly 121 is located within the loading and unloading area 130, and each second carrying assembly 125 can be driven by the translation assembly 124 and the second lifting assembly 123 connected thereto into the loading and unloading area 130 and above the first carrying assembly 121.

[0042] The loading and unloading area 130 is divided into an upper part and a lower part along the second direction Y. Before the tabbing mechanism 12 works, the first carrying assembly 121 and the second carrying assembly 125 are both located below the loading and unloading area 130, and the first carrying assembly 121 is located on the side of the second carrying assembly 125 close to the loading and unloading mechanism 11. After the processing device 20 finishes processing the sheet material, the first lifting assembly 122 of the tabbing mechanism 12 drives the first carrying assembly 121 to rise to the lower part of the loading and unloading area 130, and the loading and unloading mechanism 11 places the processed sheet material in the first carrying assembly 121. When the first carrying assembly 121 carries the processed sheet material, the first lifting assembly 122 drives the first carrying assembly 121 to move downward, so as to convey the processed sheet material to the conveying mechanism 13. At the same time, the second lifting assembly 123 drives the translation assembly 124 to rise, so that the translation assembly 124 drives the second carrying assembly 125 to rise. When the top of the first carrying assembly 121 is lower than the bottom of the second carrying assembly 125, the translation assembly 124 drives the second carrying assembly 125 to move relative to the second lifting assembly 123 and the first carrying assembly 121 along the first direction X, so that the second carrying assembly 125 is located above the first carrying assembly 121 and in the upper part of the loading and unloading area 130, and the loading and unloading mechanism 11 places the processed sheet material in the second carrying assembly 125. When the second carrying assembly 125 carries the processed sheet material, the translation assembly 124 drives the second carrying assembly 125 to move along the first direction X, so that the second carrying assembly 125 moves away from the upper part of the loading and unloading area 130, and the space above the first carrying assembly 121 is emptied, so as to reduce the risk of interference between the first carrying assembly 121 and the second carrying assembly 125. When the first carrying assembly 121 conveys the processed sheet material to the conveying mechanism 13, the first lifting assembly 122 drives the first carrying assembly 121 to move upward relative to the conveying mechanism 13, so that the first carrying assembly 121 is located in the lower part of the loading and unloading area 130, and the loading and unloading mechanism 11 places the processed sheet material in the first carrying assembly 121. At the same time, the second lifting assembly 123 drives the translation assembly 124 to move downward, so that the translation assembly 124 drives the second carrying assembly 125 to move downward to the conveying mechanism 13, so that the second carrying assembly 125 places the processed sheet material on the conveying mechanism 13.

[0043] In turn, the loading and unloading mechanism 11 alternately carries the processed sheet material in the first carrying assembly 121 and the second carrying assembly 125, so that the tabbing mechanism 12 continuously transfers the sheet material between the loading and unloading mechanism 11 and the conveying mechanism 13, thereby improving the transportation efficiency of the sheet material.

[0044] The process of alternately carrying the sheet-shaped material to be processed by the first carrying assembly 121 and the second carrying assembly 125 is similar to the aforementioned conveying manner, so as to realize the feeding of the processing device 20.

[0045] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , the number of the conveying mechanisms 13 is two, and the number of the loading and unloading areas 130 and the tab mechanisms 12 is equal to the number of the conveying mechanisms 13. Along the third direction Z, the two conveying mechanisms 13 are spaced apart, one conveying mechanism 13 is provided with one loading and unloading area 130 above, and one loading and unloading area 130 is provided with one tab mechanism 12. One of the conveying mechanisms 13 transports the sheet-shaped material to be processed from the outside to the corresponding tab mechanism 12, and the other conveying mechanism 13 transports the processed sheet-shaped material from the tab mechanism 12 to the outside.

[0046] When the loading and unloading mechanism 11 places the processed sheet-shaped material in the second carrying assembly 125 of the tab mechanism 12 (hereinafter referred to as the first tab mechanism 12) corresponding to one of the loading and unloading areas 130, the loading and unloading mechanism 11 obtains the sheet-shaped material to be processed in the second carrying assembly 125 of the tab mechanism 12 (hereinafter referred to as the second tab mechanism 12) corresponding to the other loading and unloading area 130, and transfers the sheet-shaped material to be processed to the processing device 20. The loading and unloading mechanism 11 transfers the processed sheet-shaped material in the processing device 20 to the first carrying assembly 121 of the first tab mechanism 12, and obtains the sheet-shaped material to be processed in the first carrying assembly 121 of the second tab mechanism 12.

[0047] In sequence, the two tab mechanisms 12 are synchronously moved, so as to realize that the loading and unloading mechanism 11 transfers the processed sheet-shaped material from the processing device 20 to the first tab mechanism 12, and transfers the sheet-shaped material to be processed from the second tab mechanism 12 to the processing device 20, so that the loading and unloading mechanism 11 can continuously transfer the sheet-shaped material, which helps to improve the efficiency of feeding the processing device 20.

[0048] It can be understood that by controlling the conveying direction of the two conveying mechanisms 13, the conveying direction of the two conveying mechanisms 13 is exchanged, so that the first tab mechanism 12 can carry the sheet-shaped material to be processed, and the second tab mechanism 12 can carry the processed sheet-shaped material.

[0049] In some embodiments, the number of the conveying mechanisms 13 is four, six or more even numbers, all the conveying mechanisms 13 are spaced apart along the third direction Z, and the number of the loading and unloading mechanisms 11 is also two or more. Each loading and unloading mechanism 11 is provided with two conveying mechanisms 13, which helps to improve the efficiency of feeding the processing device 20.

[0050] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and 3 , all the second carrying assemblies 125 are located on the same side of the first carrying assembly 121 along the first direction X, and all the second carrying assemblies 125 are arranged in sequence along the first direction X. The movement rhythm of all the second carrying assemblies 125 is set so that all the second carrying assemblies 125 can be driven in sequence to above the first carrying assembly 121.

[0051] In other embodiments, the second carrying assemblies 125 are located on both sides of the first carrying assembly 121 along the first direction X, and the second carrying assemblies 125 on both sides are arranged in sequence along the first direction X, which helps to improve the efficiency of the tab carrying mechanism 12 in carrying the silicon wafer. It can be understood that the movement rhythm of all the second carrying assemblies 125 is set so that all the second carrying assemblies 125 can be driven in sequence to above the first carrying assembly 121, and at the same time, the second carrying assemblies 125 or the second carrying assemblies 125 and the first carrying assembly 121 avoid each other in the first direction X, so as to reduce the risk of the second carrying assemblies 125 blocking each other or the first carrying assembly 121, so as to facilitate the feeding and discharging mechanism 11 to feed and discharge the first carrying assembly 121 and each second carrying assembly 125 in sequence.

[0052] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 to 5 , the first carrying assembly 121 and the second carrying assembly 125 are provided with a containing space 120 along the first direction X, so as to facilitate the collection and insertion and removal of the sheet-shaped material.

[0053] In some embodiments, the conveying mechanism 13 passes through the containing space 120 of the first carrying assembly 121, and when the first lifting assembly 122 drives the first carrying assembly 121 to move up and down, part of the conveying mechanism 13 moves up and down relative to the first carrying assembly 121 in the containing space 120.

[0054] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , the bottom of the second carrying assembly 125 is provided with an opening 1251, which communicates with the containing space 120 of the second carrying assembly 125. When the second lifting assembly 123 drives the translation assembly 124 to move up and down, the translation assembly 124 drives the second carrying assembly 125 to move up and down, and part of the conveying mechanism 13 passes through the opening 1251 to enter and exit the containing space 120, thereby avoiding the risk of interference between the second carrying assembly 125 and the conveying mechanism 13.

[0055] In some embodiments, each accommodating space 120 is capable of accommodating a plurality of sheet materials, and the plurality of sheet materials in the accommodating space 120 are arranged in sequence and at intervals along the second direction Y, so as to realize the effect that the first bearing assembly 121 and the second bearing assembly 125 bear a plurality of sheet materials at one time.

[0056] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 , the first bearing assembly 121 and the second bearing assembly 125 each include a tab structure 1201 and a plurality of support columns 1202, the interior of the tab structure 1201 forms one or more accommodating spaces 120, and each accommodating space 120 is provided with a plurality of support columns 1202 on the side wall perpendicular to the first direction X, the plurality of support columns 1202 are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y and are connected perpendicularly to the tab structure 1201. Each accommodating space 120 is provided with support columns 1202 on two opposite side walls respectively, and the two parts of the support columns 1202 are located on the two sides of the accommodating space 120 along the third direction Z, so as to support the two sides of the sheet material, thereby improving the stability of the first bearing assembly 121 and the second bearing assembly 125 bearing the sheet material, and realizing the effect that a plurality of sheet materials are stacked and borne in the accommodating space 120.

[0057] It can be understood that, by oppositely arranging the two parts of the support columns 1202, the conveying mechanism 13 can be located between the two parts of the support columns 1202 while bearing the sheet material, so as to reduce the risk of interference between the first bearing assembly 121, the second bearing assembly 125 and the conveying mechanism 13.

[0058] In some embodiments, the material of the support column 1202 is ceramic or quartz, etc., which is stable in physical shape and chemical shape and has a smooth surface, so as to reduce the risk of reaction between the support column 1202 and the sheet material or loss of the sheet material, and help to improve the stability and reliability of the support column 1202 supporting the sheet material.

[0059] In some embodiments, the tab structure 1201 is arranged in the shape of a cuboid, and the side surface of the tab structure 1201 can be arranged in a hollow manner, so as to reduce the weight of the tab structure 1201.

[0060] In some embodiments, the feeding and discharging mechanism 11 is capable of obtaining a plurality of sheet materials from the loading and unloading area 130 at one time, or placing a plurality of sheet materials into the first bearing assembly 121 and the second bearing assembly 125 in the loading and unloading area 130 at one time, so as to improve the efficiency of transferring the sheet material between the tabbing mechanism 12 and the feeding and discharging mechanism 11.

[0061] In some embodiments, the feeding and discharging mechanism 11 is a mechanical hand (not shown), and the working part of the mechanical hand is provided with a plurality of suction cups or clamping jaws.

[0062] In some embodiments, referring toFigure 3 The number of accommodating spaces 120 in the first and second bearing assemblies 121 and 125 is two, and the two accommodating spaces 120 on the first and second bearing assemblies 121 and 125 are sequentially distributed along the third direction Z. By increasing the number of accommodating spaces 120, the number of sheet materials carried by the first and second bearing assemblies 121 and 125 can be increased.

[0063] In some embodiments, when the sheet material is one whole sheet divided into two halves, the conveying mechanism 13 includes two conveying assemblies 131, each of which conveys a half of the sheet material of one whole sheet. The two accommodating spaces 120 on the first and second bearing assemblies 121 and 125 can each carry a half of the sheet material of one whole sheet, so as to meet the requirement of the conveying device 10 to feed two halves of the sheet material to the processing device 20, so as to achieve the effect of the photovoltaic material processing equipment 100 processing the half sheet material.

[0064] In other embodiments, the photovoltaic material processing equipment 100 can also process one whole sheet of sheet material, in which case the conveying assembly 131 conveys one whole sheet of sheet material, and the accommodating space 120 accommodates one whole sheet of sheet material.

[0065] In other embodiments, when the number of accommodating spaces 120 on the first and second bearing assemblies 121 and 125 is more than two, the first and second bearing assemblies 121 and 125 can be adapted to one-half sheet or other sizes of sheet.

[0066] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly 131 is a conveying belt or a magnetic fluid conveying mechanism 13.

[0067] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The tab structure 1201 includes a taking and placing opening 1203, which is located on both sides of each accommodating space 120 along the first direction X or on the side facing the feeding and discharging mechanism 11, so as to facilitate the feeding and discharging mechanism 11 to obtain or release the sheet material in the accommodating space 120 through the taking and placing opening 1203.

[0068] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 to 5The first bearing assembly 121 and the second bearing assembly 125 each include one or more regularizing assemblies 127 and one or more adjusting assemblies 126. The regularizing assemblies 127 are arranged at the access openings 1203 of each of the accommodation spaces 120, and the adjusting assemblies 126 are arranged at the tab structure 1201. The adjusting assemblies 126 are connected with the regularizing assemblies 127. When the first bearing assembly 121 and the second bearing assembly 125 respectively bear the sheet material, the adjusting assemblies 126 adjust the positions of the regularizing assemblies 127, and make the regularizing assemblies 127 act on the sheet material in the accommodation spaces 120, so as to make the sheet material be located at the designated positions in the accommodation spaces 120, which helps to improve the accuracy of the feeding and discharging mechanism 11 in obtaining or releasing the sheet material from the first bearing assembly 121 and the second bearing assembly 125.

[0069] It can be understood that when the feeding and discharging mechanism 11 obtains or releases the sheet material from the accommodation spaces 120, the regularizing assemblies 127 loosen the sheet material, so as to reduce the frictional resistance between the regularizing assemblies 127 and the sheet material, which is beneficial to the feeding and discharging mechanism 11 to move the sheet material relative to the tab structure 1201.

[0070] In some embodiments, when the first bearing assembly 121 and the second bearing assembly 125 transfer the sheet material to the feeding and discharging mechanism 11 or to the conveying mechanism 13, the regularizing assemblies 127 act on the sheet material, so as to improve the stability of the sheet material in the accommodation spaces 120, which helps to reduce the risk of the sheet material falling.

[0071] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 the regularizing assemblies 127 include first regularizing members 1271 and second regularizing members 1272, and the first regularizing members 1271 and the second regularizing members 1272 are located at opposite sides of the accommodation spaces 120 along the third direction Z. When the first bearing assembly 121 and the second bearing assembly 125 respectively bear the sheet material, all the first regularizing members 1271 move towards the corresponding second regularizing members 1272 and push the sheet material to move towards the second regularizing members 1272, or all the second regularizing members 1272 move towards the corresponding first regularizing members 1271 and push the sheet material to move towards the first regularizing members 1271, so as to adjust the positions of the sheet material in the accommodation spaces 120.

[0072] In some embodiments, when the first bearing assembly 121 and the second bearing assembly 125 each include two accommodation spaces 120, referring to Figure 5 along the third direction Z, Figure 5The first regulating member 1271 of the right accommodating space 120 pushes the sheet material to move towards the left accommodating space 120, and the second regulating member 1272 of the left accommodating space 120 pushes the sheet material to move towards the right accommodating space 120, so that the sheet materials in the two accommodating spaces 120 are both moved towards the middle of the two accommodating spaces 120.

[0073] Further, all the first regulating members 1271 and the second regulating members 1272 can be moved towards each other at the same time, so as to realize the function of moving the sheet materials to the middle of the accommodating space 120 by the first regulating members 1271 and the second regulating members 1272, and adjusting the position of the sheet materials.

[0074] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the first regulating member 1271 and the second regulating member 1272 are both rod-shaped members extending along the second direction Y, so as to realize the function of adjusting the position of all the sheet materials in the third direction Z by the first regulating member 1271 and the second regulating member 1272.

[0075] Further, the first bearing assembly 121 and the second bearing assembly 125 both include the first linkage 128 and / or the second linkage 129, and the first linkage 128 and the second linkage 129 are respectively in sliding connection with the tab structure 1201. The first linkage 128 and the second linkage 129 are located at the top or the bottom of the tab structure 1201, so as to reduce the risk of interference between the first linkage 128, the second linkage 129 and the sheet materials. The first linkage 128 is respectively connected with the adjusting assembly 126 and one end of all the first regulating members 1271, and the second linkage 129 is respectively connected with the adjusting assembly 126 and one end of all the second regulating members 1272. The adjusting assembly 126 drives the first linkage 128 and / or the second linkage 129 to move, and simultaneously drives all the first regulating members 1271 and / or all the second regulating members 1272 to move.

[0076] It can be understood that the number of the first linkage 128 and the second linkage 129 of the first bearing assembly 121 or the second bearing assembly 125 is two, the two first linkages 128 are oppositely arranged along the second direction Y, and the two ends of the first regulating member 1271 are respectively connected with the two first linkages 128, so as to fix the two ends of the first regulating member 1271 by the two first linkages 128, which helps to improve the stability of the first regulating member 1271. Similarly, the two second linkages 129 are oppositely arranged along the second direction Y, and the two ends of the second regulating member 1272 are respectively connected with the two second linkages 129.

[0077] It can be understood that the accommodation space 120 is provided with linkage members, regular members and support columns 1202 on both sides of the first direction X, and the linkage members, regular members and support columns 1202 are located in the taking and placing opening 1203 to realize that the regular members and the support columns 1202 uniformly act on both sides of the sheet material along the first direction X.

[0078] In other embodiments, the number of adjustment assemblies 126 is multiple, one adjustment assembly 126 is connected with one first linkage member 128, one adjustment assembly 126 is connected with the first second linkage member 129. Or one adjustment assembly 126 is connected with one first regular member 1271 or one second regular member 1272 to realize driving the first regular member 1271 and the second regular member 1272 to move respectively.

[0079] Exemplarily, the adjustment assembly 126 is a driving component with output reciprocating force such as a pneumatic cylinder, an electric push or a hydraulic cylinder, and the telescopic end of one adjustment assembly 126 is connected with one first linkage member 128, one second linkage member 129, one first regular member 1271 or one second regular member 1272.

[0080] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 , along the third direction Z, the first linkage member 128 includes opposite first side 1281 and second side 1282, and the second linkage member 129 includes opposite third side 1291 and fourth side 1292. The first linkage member 128 and the second linkage member 129 partially coincide in the first direction X, and the first side 1281, the second side 1282 (the third side 1291) and the fourth side 1292 are sequentially distributed along the third direction Z. When the first bearing assembly 121 and the second bearing assembly 125 both include two accommodation spaces 120, the first linkage member 128 is connected with all the first regular members 1271, specifically, the first side 1281 is connected with the first regular member 1271 in one of the accommodation spaces 120, and the second side 1282 is connected with the first regular member 1271 in the other accommodation space 120. The first linkage member 128 is connected with all the first regular members 1271, and the second linkage member 129 is connected with all the second regular members 1272, specifically, the first side 1281 and the third side 1291 are respectively connected with the first regular member 1271 and the second regular member 1272 in one of the accommodation spaces 120, and the second side 1282 and the fourth side 1292 are respectively connected with the first regular member 1271 and the second regular member 1272 in the other accommodation space 120, and the first regular member 1271 on the second side 1282 is arranged in a staggered manner with the second regular member 1272 on the third side 1291 to reduce the risk of interference between the first regular member 1271 on the second side 1282 and the second regular member 1272 on the third side 1291.

[0081] When the sheet material needs to be regularized, the adjusting assembly 126 drives the first linkage 128 and the second linkage 129 to move towards each other, and the first linkage 128 drives all the first regularizing members 1271 to move towards the corresponding second regularizing members 1272, and the second linkage 129 drives all the second regularizing members 1272 to move towards the corresponding first regularizing members 1271, so that the first regularizing members 1271 and the second regularizing members 1272 in each accommodating space 120 jointly abut against the sheet material, thereby adjusting the position of the sheet material in the two accommodating spaces 120. Conversely, when the feeding and discharging mechanism 11 obtains or releases the sheet material in the accommodating space 120, the adjusting assembly 126 drives the first linkage 128 and the second linkage 129 to move away from each other.

[0082] Further, referring to Figure 5 , the adjusting assembly 126 comprises a motor 1262 and a synchronous belt 1263, the motor 1262 is arranged on the tab structure 1201, the synchronous belt 1263 is rotationally connected with the tab structure 1201, the motor 1262 is drivingly connected with the synchronous belt 1263, the rotation axis of the synchronous belt 1263 is parallel to the second direction Y, so that the synchronous belt 1263 has two opposite parts in the first direction X, the movement directions of the two parts of the synchronous belt 1263 are opposite, one part of the synchronous belt 1263 is connected with the first linkage 128, and the other part is connected with the second linkage 129, so that the motor 1262 drives the synchronous belt 1263 to rotate, the synchronous belt 1263 drives the first linkage 128 and the second linkage 129 to move, and the first linkage 128 and the second linkage 129 move towards or away from each other, thereby the first regularizing members 1271 and the second regularizing members 1272 regularize the sheet material. Through the arrangement of one adjusting assembly 126, the adjusting assembly 126 drives the first regularizing members 1271 and the second regularizing members 1272 in the two accommodating spaces 120 to move through the first linkage 128 and the second linkage 129, which helps to reduce the number of adjusting assemblies 126, and makes the structure of the first bearing assembly 121 and the second bearing assembly 125 simpler.

[0083] In other embodiments, the adjusting assembly 126 further comprises two motors 1262 and two synchronous belts 1263, the two synchronous belts 1263 are respectively rotatably connected with the tab structure 1201, one synchronous belt 1263 is connected with all the first regular pieces 1271, the other synchronous belt 1263 is connected with all the second regular pieces 1272, and the two motors 1262 are respectively drivingly connected with the two synchronous belts 1263. In operation, each motor 1262 respectively drives the corresponding synchronous belt 1263 to rotate, and simultaneously drives the two synchronous belts 1263 to respectively drive all the first regular pieces 1271 and all the second regular pieces 1272 to move, so as to realize the function of approaching or moving away of the first regular piece 1271 and the corresponding second regular piece 1272.

[0084] In some embodiments, the first regular piece 1271 and / or the second regular piece 1272 are respectively connected with a part of the support column 1202 in the corresponding accommodating space 120, and the first regular piece 1271 and / or the second regular piece 1272 drive the support column 1202 to move through the synchronous belt 1263, so as to realize the synchronous movement of the support column 1202 and the sheet material, which helps to reduce the risk of falling off of the sheet material from the support column 1202.

[0085] It can be understood that the first regular piece 1271 and / or the second regular piece 1272 can drive the support column 1202 to move, and adjust the distance between the two support columns 1202 on both sides of the accommodating space 120 in the third direction Z, so as to adapt to support sheet materials of different sizes.

[0086] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , the loading and unloading area 130 comprises a first area 1301 and a second area 1302 arranged in sequence along the second direction Y, and the second area 1302 is located above the first area 1301. The first carrying assembly 121 moves into the first area 1301, the second carrying assembly 125 can move into the second area 1302, and the working part of the loading and unloading mechanism 11 moves into the first area 1301 and the second area 1302 respectively to obtain or place the sheet material. When the sheet material is taken or placed between the loading and unloading mechanism 11 and the tabbing mechanism 12, since the first area 1301 and the second area 1302 are arranged in a top-down manner, the positions of the first carrying assembly 121 and the second carrying assembly 125 in the loading and unloading area 130 are completely staggered, which helps to reduce the risk of interference between the first carrying assembly 121 and the second carrying assembly 125.

[0087] In some embodiments, the feeding and discharging mechanism 11 can also move up and down. The number of the second bearing assemblies 125 is more than two (not shown), all the second bearing assemblies 125 are sequentially distributed along the first direction X, the number of the second lifting assemblies 123 and the translation assemblies 124 is the same as that of the second bearing assemblies 125, and one second lifting assembly 123, one translation assembly 124 and one second bearing assembly 125 are correspondingly arranged. The number of the second areas 1302 is more than two, all the second areas 1302 are sequentially distributed along the second direction Y, the second bearing assemblies 125 are moved by the corresponding second lifting assemblies 123 and translation assemblies 124 to realize that one second bearing assembly 125 moves into one second area 1302, and the number of the second bearing assemblies 125 is increased to further improve the efficiency of the sheet-shaped material in the sheet mechanism 12.

[0088] It can be understood that the height of each second lifting assembly 123 in the second direction Y is different to realize that different second bearing assemblies 125 can avoid each other. The length of each translation assembly 124 in the first direction X is different to realize that different second bearing assemblies 125 can move into the corresponding second areas 1302 along the first direction X.

[0089] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The adjustment assembly 126 on the first bearing assembly 121 is located at the bottom of the sheet structure 1201 of the first bearing assembly 121, which can reduce the space of the top mounting part of the first bearing assembly 121, and when the first bearing assembly 121 is located in the first area 1301, the top of the first bearing assembly 121 has a larger avoiding space with the second bearing assembly 125. The adjustment assembly 126 on the second bearing assembly 125 is located at the top of the sheet structure 1201 of the second bearing assembly 125 to avoid the interference between the adjustment assembly 126 on the second bearing assembly 125 and the conveying mechanism 13. Since the accommodating space 120 of the first bearing assembly 121 can be closer to the second area 1302, the accommodating space 120 of the second bearing assembly 125 can be closer to the first area 1301, thereby shortening the distance between the position of the accommodating space 120 of the first bearing assembly 121 in the loading and unloading area 130 and the position of the accommodating space 120 of the second bearing assembly 125 in the loading and unloading area 130, to shorten the distance of the working part of the feeding and discharging mechanism 11 moving between the first bearing assembly 121 and the second bearing assembly 125 in the second direction Y.

[0090] It can be understood that when the number of second bearing assemblies 125 is more than two, the adjustment assembly 126 on the second bearing assembly 125 is located at the top of the web structure 1201 of the second bearing assembly 125 to reduce the height of the containing space 120 of the second bearing assembly 125 in the uppermost second area 1302, which helps to reduce the distance of the lifting movement of the feeding and discharging mechanism 11.

[0091] In other embodiments, the number of second bearing assemblies 125 is two or more, and the number of second areas 1302 is one. The movement beats of all second bearing assemblies 125 are set so that all second bearing assemblies 125 can be driven in turn above the first bearing assembly 121, while the second bearing assemblies 125 or the second bearing assemblies 125 and the first bearing assembly 121 avoid each other in the first direction X, so as to reduce the risk of the second bearing assembly 125 blocking another second bearing assembly 125 or the first bearing assembly 121, so as to facilitate the feeding and discharging mechanism 11 to feed and discharge the first bearing assembly 121 and each second bearing assembly 125 in turn.

The lifting driver is arranged on the guide column, the lifting piece is in sliding connection with the guide column, the working end of the lifting driver is connected with the lifting piece, and the lifting piece is further connected with the first bearing assembly 121 or the translation assembly 124. The lifting driver drives the corresponding lifting piece to move along the second direction Y, thereby achieving the effect of lifting movement of the first bearing assembly 121 or the translation assembly 124 driven by the lifting piece.

[0093] In some embodiments, the translation assembly 124 includes a sliding rail (not labeled), a sliding block (not labeled), and a translation driver (not labeled). The sliding rail is fixedly connected with the lifting piece of the second lifting assembly 123. The translation driver is arranged on the sliding rail. The sliding block is connected with the working end of the translation driver and the second bearing assembly 125, respectively. The translation driver drives the sliding block to drive the second bearing assembly 125 to move relative to the sliding rail along the first direction X, thereby achieving the effect of moving the second bearing assembly 125 above the first bearing assembly 121.

[0094] In some embodiments, the first lifting assembly 122, the second lifting assembly 123, and the translation assembly 124 are respectively a lead screw module, an electric push, a hydraulic cylinder, or a gas cylinder, etc. which can output reciprocating force.

[0095] In some embodiments, the conveying device 10 further comprises a detection mechanism (not labeled), which comprises a first detection component, a second detection component and a third detection component. The first detection component is arranged on the guide column of the first lifting component 122, and is used for limiting the lifting of the lifting member of the first lifting component 122. The second detection component is arranged on the guide column of the second lifting component 123, and is used for limiting the lifting of the lifting member of the second lifting component 123. The third detection component is arranged on the slide rail, and is used for limiting the movement of the sliding block.

[0096] In some embodiments, the first detection component, the second detection component and the third detection component are all photoelectric switches.
