[0022] Example 1, as Figs. 1 to 4 shown, the present application proposes a new embedded merging device applied to the splitting and merging operation in the box cargo conveying system. The action principle of the device is that the boxes flow into the device from two places respectively, the detection device detects the position of the boxes to control the start and stop of the conveying assembly in the splitting and merging area, realizes the orderly merging or splitting of the boxes in different lines, avoids the collision between the boxes, and finally successfully implements the conveying of the boxes in different flow directions.

[0023] The embedded merging device comprises a rack assembly 1 forming at least one set of straight line conveying area and one set of merging conveying area, a roller assembly 2 provided on the top of the rack assembly 1 along the conveying direction of different areas, a driving card assembly 4 for controlling the running state of the roller assembly 2, and a baffle assembly 3 connected to the outer side edge of the rack assembly 1 for protection.

[0024] Among them, the rack assembly 1 is used to support and connect other components, including the straight flow area body 1-2 which constitutes the straight flow conveying area, the merging area body 1-5 which constitutes the merging conveying area, and the intermediate body 1-6 which is arranged at the junction of the straight line and the merging conveying area. A set of welded legs 1-1 is connected to the bottom of the straight flow area body 1-2, the merging area body 1-5 and the intermediate body 1-6 through a set of adjustable feet 1-4, and the vertical height of the straight flow area body 1-2 and the merging area body 1-5 is adjusted through the adjustable feet 1-4 to dock the conveying lines of different heights, and the leveling treatment is carried out between them.

[0025] In order to correspondingly reduce the floor area and intensify the installation space utilization rate of the rack assembly, the merging area body 1-5 is obliquely embedded and connected to the straight flow area body 1-2 through the intermediate body 1-6, and the vertical projection of the straight flow conveying area and the merging conveying area forms partial overlap.

[0026] Further, a plurality of body connecting plates 1-3 are connected between the lateral sides of the body 1-5 and the middle body 1-6, and between the lateral sides of the middle body 1-6 and the body 1-2 of the confluence area, so as to enhance the mechanical strength of the bodies and the connecting strength of the frame assembly 1.

[0027] The baffle assembly 3 is connected to the outer side ends of the body 1-5 and the body 1-2 of the confluence area in the conveying direction.

[0028] The roller assembly 2 comprises a plurality of motorized rollers 2-2 and unpowered rollers 2-5 connected between the bodies 1-5 of the confluence area, between the bodies 1-2 of the straight-through area, and between the lateral sides of the body 1-5 of the confluence area and the middle body 1-6 and the middle body 1-6 and the body 1-2 of the straight-through area; the two ends of each group of motorized rollers 2-2 are connected to a plurality of unpowered rollers 2-5 through the same group of multi-wedge belts 2-1; under the control of the drive card assembly 4, the motorized rollers 2-2 drive the unpowered rollers 2-5 to run through the multi-wedge belts 2-1, so as to convey the material boxes in different areas and directions.

[0029] The baffle assembly 3 can guide the material boxes conveyed in different areas, and also externally enclose and protect the multi-wedge belts 2-1, so as to avoid misoperation or other safety accidents, and prevent the material boxes from rushing out of the line body.

[0030] The shaft ends of the motorized rollers 2-2 and the unpowered rollers 2-5 in the straight-through conveying area or the confluence conveying area are connected to the shafts on both sides of the middle body 1-6; a horizontally arranged supporting plate 2-4 is connected between the end lateral sides of the middle body 1-6 and the body 1-5 of the confluence area; the supporting plate 2-4 covers the gap between the motorized rollers 2-2 and the unpowered rollers 2-5 and the body in the vertical direction.

[0031] Thus, the middle body 1-6 constitutes a connecting device for the straight-through conveying area and the confluence conveying area, and the supporting plate 2-4 fills the corresponding blank in the confluence area, so as to prevent the material boxes from being stuck or other goods from falling.

[0032] The drive card assembly 4 comprises control terminals and roller drive cards 4-3 for connecting the power supply and the roller assembly 2 to receive and control the running state of the line body, and a pair of photoelectric switch reflecting plates 4-1 and photoelectric switch emitting ends 4-2 connected between the body 1-5 of the confluence area and the body 1-2 of the straight-through area.

[0033] The control terminals and roller drive cards 4-3 directly receive the signals of the photoelectric switches without PLC, so as to control the running state of the roller assembly 2 in different conveying areas.

[0034] Based on the design of the above-mentioned embedded confluence device, when a plurality of material boxes enter from the straight conveying area and the confluence conveying area respectively and are detected by the photoelectric detection device, the roller assembly 2 on the confluence area body 1-5 stops running, and the roller assembly 2 on the straight area body 1-2 normally runs; after the material box in the straight conveying area passes through, the roller assembly 2 on the straight area body 1-2 stops running, and the roller assembly 2 on the confluence area body 1-5 starts running; after the material box in the confluence conveying area passes through, the roller assembly 2 on the confluence area body 1-5 stops, and the roller assembly 2 on the straight area body 1-2 starts running, and the cycle is repeated to ensure smooth circulation of the plurality of material boxes.

[0035] Since the confluence conveying area is partially embedded in the straight conveying area, the material box in the confluence conveying area can be stopped in the straight conveying area and wait for conveying without being affected by the running of the roller assembly 2 in the straight conveying area.

[0036] As described above, the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings are only preferred schemes for achieving the purpose of the present application. Those skilled in the art can be inspired by the embodiments to directly deduce other alternative structures that meet the design concept of the present application. Other structural features obtained thereby should also belong to the scope of the present application.
