[0041] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of a conveyor 100 for a sheet 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of the linkage device 30 of the conveyor 100 shown. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A schematic top view of the conveyor 100 shown. Figure 4 yes Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the linkage device 30 of the conveyor 100 shown is a non-horizontal device. Figure 5 yes Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the linkage device 30 of the conveyor 100 shown is a horizontal structure. Figure 6 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a schematic structural representation of the meshing of the drive gear 311 of the conveyor 100 and the driven gear 310 of the loading car 300. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The arrows in the diagram indicate the conveying direction of the sheet metal. For example... Figures 1 to 6As shown, in a specific embodiment, the conveyor 100 for the sheet 200 includes a first frame 10, a first conveying device 20, and at least one linkage device 30. The first conveying device 20 is mounted on the first frame 10 and includes a first conveying roller 21, a first conveyor belt 22 mounted on the first conveying roller 21, and a first drive member 23 connected to the first conveying roller 21. The first drive member 23 is configured to controllably drive the first conveying roller 21 to rotate, so that the first conveyor belt 22 conveys the sheet 200 along the conveying direction. Each linkage device 30 includes a gear assembly 31 connected to the first conveying roller 21. When the conveyor 100 moves to a position that engages with the loading cart 300, the gear assembly 31 meshes with a driven gear 310 on the second conveying roller 320 of the loading cart 300, so that when the gear assembly 31 rotates with the first conveying roller 21, it drives the second conveying roller 320 to rotate, thereby driving the second drive belt 330 of the loading cart 300 to convey the sheet 200. Here, the loading cart 300 is equivalent to a second conveying device with the same structure as the first conveying device 20, and the linkage device 30 is equivalent to connecting the first conveying roller 21 of the first conveying device 20 and the second conveying roller 320 of the second conveying device, transmitting the power on the first conveying roller 21 to the second conveying roller 320. The first driving component 23 is a servo motor.

[0042] This embodiment adds a linkage device 30 to the existing conveyor 100. The gear assembly 31 of the linkage device 30 is connected to the first conveyor roller 21 on the conveyor 100 and meshes with the passive gear 310 on the second conveyor roller 320 on the loading cart 300. The linkage device 30 realizes the connection between the conveyor 100 and the loading cart 300. The power on the conveyor 100 can be used to drive the linkage device 30 to rotate the second conveyor roller 320 on the loading cart 300, so as to transport the plate 200 on the conveyor 100 to the loading cart 300, thereby realizing the transport of the plate 200.

[0043] In some embodiments, the linkage device 30 further includes a second driving member 32, which is connected to the gear assembly 31 and configured to controllably drive the gear assembly 31 to rotate relative to the first frame 10, thereby switching the gear assembly 31 between an engaged state (engaged with the driven gear 310) and a disengaged state (disengaged from the driven gear 310). Specifically, when the conveyor 100 needs to connect with the loading cart 300, the second driving member 32 drives the gear assembly 31 to rotate, thereby switching from the disengaged state to the engaged state. When the plate 200 is transferred from the conveyor 100 to the loading cart 300, the second driving member 32 drives the gear assembly 31 to reset, that is, the gear assembly 31 switches from the engaged state to the disengaged state. Figure 4 This indicates the disengaged state of gear assembly 31. Figure 5 This indicates the meshing state of gear assembly 31.

[0044] In some embodiments, when the gear assembly 31 is engaged, it is at the same horizontal position as the first conveying device 20, and when disengaged, it is arranged inclined downwards relative to the first conveying device 20. This embodiment takes into account that the first conveying roller 21 of the conveyor 100 and the second conveying roller 320 of the loading cart 300 are approximately at the same height. Therefore, the gear assembly 31 is positioned at the same horizontal position as the first conveying device 20 when engaged, which facilitates the gear assembly 31 driving the second conveying roller 320 of the loading cart 300 to rotate. In other embodiments, the gear assembly 31 may not be in a horizontal position when engaged, depending on specific design requirements.

[0045] In some embodiments, the gear assembly 31 includes a connecting rod 312 and a plurality of parallel-arranged drive gears 311. The drive gear 311 closest to the first conveying device 20 is mounted on the first conveying roller 21. Adjacent drive gears 311 mesh with each other, so that when one drive gear 311 rotates, it drives the other drive gear 311 to rotate. The connecting rod 312 is mounted on the side of the drive gear 311 and is rotatably connected to all the drive gears 311. The connecting rod 312 is connected to the second drive member 32. It can be understood that the power of the first conveying roller 21 is sequentially transferred through the plurality of drive gears 311, and transmitted to the second conveying roller 320 of the loading cart 300 through the last drive gear 311.

[0046] In some embodiments, the number of drive gears 311 is four. In other embodiments, the number of drive gears 311 can also be designed according to the gap between the conveyor 100 and the loading cart 300. For example, the greater the distance between the conveyor 100 and the loading cart 300, the more drive gears 311 there are, and the smaller the distance between the conveyor 100 and the loading cart 300, the fewer drive gears 311 there are.

[0047] In some embodiments, the connecting rod 312 includes a rod body 313 and a connecting portion 314 extending outward from the rod body 313, the connecting portion 314 being connected to the second driving member 32. In another embodiment, the structure of the connecting rod 312 can be determined according to specific design requirements.

[0048] In some embodiments, the second drive member 32 is a cylinder, which includes a cylinder body and a piston rod. The cylinder body is arranged at a preset angle with the first frame 10, and the end of the piston rod is connected to the connecting portion 314 of the connecting rod 312. The piston rod is configured to drive the gear assembly 31 to switch between an engaged state and a disengaged state when it extends and retracts along the cylinder body.

[0049] In some embodiments, the plurality of drive gears 311 may be the same size or different sizes. In this embodiment, the plurality of drive gears 311 are of the same size.

[0050] In this embodiment, there is one linkage device 30, which is disposed on the side of the first conveying device 20 perpendicular to the conveying direction. See [link / reference] Figure 3 This means that one end of the first conveying roller 21 is provided with a first driving member 23, and the other end is fitted with a drive gear 311.

[0051] In another embodiment, there are two linkage devices 30, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the first conveying device 20 along the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction. This is equivalent to setting linkage devices 30 on both the left and right sides of the first conveying device 20. Of course, this also needs to be designed according to the specific design.

[0052] This embodiment also provides a production system for sheet material 200, which includes the conveyor 100 described above. Details regarding the conveyor 100 will not be provided here.

[0053] In some embodiments, the production system for the sheet metal 200 further includes a loading cart 300, which includes a second frame 340, a second conveying device, and a driven gear 310. The second conveying device is mounted on the second frame 340 and includes a second conveying roller 320 and a second conveyor belt 330 mounted on the second conveying roller 320. The driven gear 310 is sleeved on the second conveying roller 320 and meshes with the gear assembly 31 of the conveyor 100 to follow the rotation of the gear assembly 31, thereby driving the second conveyor belt 330 to convey.

[0054] The working principle of the conveyor 100 is as follows: The paper-laying equipment lays the board 200 above the first conveyor belt 22 of the conveyor 100. After the paper-laying equipment finishes its work, the first drive component 23 of the conveyor 100 drives the first conveyor roller 21 to rotate, thereby driving the drive gear 311 of the linkage device 30 to rotate. Then, the telescopic rod of the second drive component 32 extends and pushes the connecting rod 312, so that the drive gear 311 at the end of the gear assembly 31 meshes with the driven gear 310 on the loading cart 300, that is, it switches to the meshing state, thereby driving the second transmission belt 330 on the loading cart 300 to transport the board 200. The board 200 is directly transported from the conveyor 100 to the second conveyor belt 330 of the loading cart 300 via the first conveyor belt 22. After the board 200 is transported to the designated position on the loading cart 300, the telescopic rod of the second drive component 32 retracts, and the gear assembly 31 separates from the driven gear of the loading cart 300, that is, it is in the disengaged state, thereby completing the conveying process of the board 200.

[0055] Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that although many exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications conforming to the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and recognized as covering all such other variations or modifications.
