Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material unidirectional technology, specifically a material unidirectional device. Background Technology
[0002] The function of a material-coordinating device is to ensure that each piece of material passing over the conveyor belt moves forward in the designated direction indicated by the material markings. Existing material-coordinating devices have the limitation that materials must be transported in a straight line without any angles. When materials do not flow into the device in a straight line, the rotating head of the existing device lacks longitudinal movement capability, so it cannot capture the material.
[0003] Currently, material flow alignment equipment on the market generally uses conveyor belt positioning baffles to position and arrange materials into a straight line before they flow into the equipment. However, in reality, materials may not flow in a straight line due to various reasons (such as hitting a baffle at a corner and causing the material to be misaligned), resulting in the rotating head failing to capture the material and the alignment failing. Therefore, this utility model proposes a material flow alignment device. Utility Model Content

[0035] Please refer to the following carefully. Figure 5 and Figure 6 This is an embodiment with multiple suction cups 312. The structure of the suction cup fixing plate 311 is different when the number of suction cups 312 is different.
