[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first aspect of this utility model provides a buffer module 1000, which is disposed in the conveying direction of a conveying device 2000. Specifically, it includes a baffle plate 200, a power component 300 for moving the baffle plate 200 to block material, a protective plate 400 disposed on the discharge side of the baffle plate 200, and a fixed seat 100 disposed on the receiving side of the baffle plate 200. The space between the fixed seat 100 and the protective plate 400 is used to accommodate the movement of the baffle plate 200 to block material on the conveying device 2000.

[0028] In a specific embodiment, the baffle plate 200 serves as the main component directly blocking materials. One end of the baffle plate 200 is connected to the power component 300, which is a power device capable of providing linear motion. This power device drives the baffle plate 200 to quickly move to the blocking position when needed and to return to its original position when not needed. A fixing seat 100 is disposed on the material-feeding side of the baffle plate 200 to fix one end of the power component 300 and provide stable support for the baffle plate 200. A space exists between the fixing seat 100 and the protective plate 400 to precisely accommodate the movement of the baffle plate 200, and the size of this space is approximately equal to the thickness of the baffle plate 200 to ensure that the baffle plate 200 can move smoothly and without obstruction during movement.

[0029] Specifically, when material buffering is required, the power unit 300 receives a control signal and starts, pushing the baffle plate 200 towards the material on the conveyor 2000 until it completely blocks the material from passing through. At this time, the material is temporarily stopped on the conveyor 2000, waiting for the start of the subsequent process. When the subsequent process is ready, the power unit 300 moves in the opposite direction, causing the baffle plate 200 to return to its original position, and the material can continue to be conveyed along the conveyor 2000 to the next process for processing.

[0030] Optionally, during implementation, the materials, dimensions, and shapes of the baffle plate 200, power component 300, protective plate 400, and fixed base 100 can be appropriately adjusted according to the actual conditions of the production line and the characteristics of the materials to meet different buffering requirements. Simultaneously, by setting up sensors and a control system, automated control and intelligent management of the device can be achieved, further improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0031] It is understood that the buffer module 1000 provided by this utility model, through the structure and layout of the baffle plate 200, the power component 300, the protective plate 400, and the fixed base 100, achieves temporary buffering of materials, facilitating subsequent inspection, packaging, and other processes. The buffer module 1000 has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has strong adaptability, providing a new solution for material handling on automated conveyor lines.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In a specific embodiment, the power component 300 includes a drive component 310 and a drive plate 320. In this embodiment, the drive component 310 is a cylinder, and its output end is connected to the drive plate 320. The drive plate 320 serves as an intermediate component connecting the drive component 310 and the blocking plate 200, responsible for transmitting the driving force of the drive component 310 to the blocking plate 200, enabling it to move along a predetermined trajectory. In a specific implementation, the drive component 310 can be mounted on the fixed base 100 or fixed near the conveying device 200 by other means. The drive plate 320 is connected to the output end of the drive component 310 by bolts, pins, or other connecting parts to ensure a firm and reliable connection between the two.

[0033] Furthermore, to improve the connection stability and reliability between the drive board 320 and the drive component 310, the drive board 320 is provided with a limiting slot 321, and the output end of the drive component 310 is provided with a slot. Specifically, the limiting slot 321 can be located at one end or both sides of the drive board 320, and its shape and size should match the slot. The slot is located on the output end of the drive component 310, corresponding to the limiting slot 321. During assembly, simply align the limiting slot 321 of the drive board 320 with the slot of the drive component 310, and then push the drive board 320 until the limiting slot 321 is fully engaged in the slot. This connection method is not only simple and easy to implement, but also effectively prevents the drive board 320 from shaking or falling off at the output end of the drive component 310, improving the stability and reliability of the entire buffer module 1000.

[0034] It should be noted that the drive component 310 can also be an electric push rod, hydraulic cylinder, or other device capable of providing linear or rotary motion.

[0035] To further enhance the connection strength between the baffle plate 200 and the drive plate 320, the drive plate 320 is provided with a fixing boss 322, which has a fixing groove 323. The baffle plate 200 is provided with a fixing hole 201 corresponding to the fixing groove 323. Specifically, the fixing boss 322 is located on one side of the drive plate 320. During assembly, simply align the fixing hole 201 on the baffle plate 200 with the fixing boss 322 on the drive plate 320, then insert the fastener and tighten it. This connection method is not only simple and easy to implement, but also effectively prevents the baffle plate 200 from shaking or falling off the drive plate 320, improving the stability and reliability of the entire buffer module 1000.

[0036] Specifically, the fixing boss 322 is provided with two or more fixing grooves 323, and the blocking plate 200 is provided with a corresponding number of fixing holes 201 to improve the connection stability between the drive plate 320 and the blocking plate 200. In other embodiments, two fixing bosses 322 are provided, and the two fixing bosses 322 are symmetrically arranged on one side of the drive plate 320. Each fixing boss 322 is provided with at least one fixing groove 323, and the blocking plate 200 is provided with a corresponding number and position of fixing holes 201, thereby strengthening the connection stability between the drive plate 320 and the blocking plate 200.

[0037] Reference Figure 2The fixed base 100 is further refined into a structure including a pressure plate 120 and a fixed plate 110. The pressure plate 120 is used to connect the fixed plate 110 and the protective plate 400, while the fixed plate 110 is used to connect the conveying device 2000. Guide side plates 410 are provided on both sides of the protective plate 400. The guide side plates 410, together with the protective plate 400 and the pressure plate 120, form a laterally closed space, which corresponds precisely to the shape of the blocking plate 200, and is used to guide the movement trajectory of the blocking plate 200. In specific implementations, the guide side plates 410 can be connected to the side walls of the pressure plate 120 to form a complete guide structure. The two sides of the blocking plate 200 respectively abut against the guide side plates 410 on both sides to ensure its stability and accuracy during movement.

[0038] Furthermore, in order to further improve the stability of the baffle plate 200 during movement, an anti-slip pad 130 is connected to the pressure plate 120. The anti-slip pad 130 can be made of soft elastic material and is in close contact with one side of the baffle plate 200. This can not only effectively prevent the baffle plate 200 from sliding and shaking during movement, but also reduce friction and wear between it and the pressure plate 120.

[0039] Optionally, an anti-slip pad 130 may also be provided between the protective plate 400 and the blocking plate 200 to further optimize the sliding stability of the blocking plate 200 and reduce the wear caused to the protective plate 400 by the movement of the blocking plate 200.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments, in order to enhance the load-bearing capacity and stability of the entire buffer module 1000, the buffer module 1000 is provided with two fixed seats 100. The two fixed seats 100 can be symmetrically arranged along the center line of the blocking plate 200 to ensure the balance and stability of the blocking plate 200 during movement.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 It should be noted that, in order to meet the blocking area requirements of materials of different sizes and shapes, a number of connecting holes 202 are provided on the blocking plate 200. The connecting holes 202 are located on the edge of the blocking plate 200 or at appropriate positions for fasteners to be inserted. The extension plate 210 can be connected to the blocking plate 200 through fasteners to increase the blocking area of ​​the drive plate 320.

[0042] In some embodiments, to further improve the automation and intelligence level of the buffer module 1000, an intelligent control system can be integrated into the buffer module 1000. This system may include components such as sensors, controllers, and actuators, used to monitor information such as the position, speed, and quantity of materials in real time, and automatically adjust parameters such as the output force and moving speed of the drive component 310 according to preset algorithms and rules. This not only enables precise control and positioning of materials but also improves the production efficiency and product quality of the entire conveyor line.

[0043] Furthermore, to meet the material buffering requirements of different directions and angles, multiple buffer modules 1000 can be provided. These multiple buffer modules 1000 may include multiple drive components 310 and drive plates 320, etc., respectively installed on the conveying devices 2000 at different directions and angles. This not only enables buffering and positioning of materials in multiple directions and angles, but also improves the flexibility and adaptability of the entire conveyor line.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 The second aspect of this utility model provides a conveying device 2000, including the aforementioned buffer module 1000. The placement of the buffer module 1000 is not unique. Specifically, when the buffer module 1000 is located at the bottom of the conveying device 2000, the baffle plate 200 is driven by the power component 300 to move up and down. When the baffle plate 200 rises, it extends out of the conveying device 2000 to temporarily buffer materials. When the buffer module 1000 is located on the side of the conveying device 2000, the baffle plate 200 is driven by the power component 300 to move laterally, moving towards the conveying direction of the conveying device 2000 to temporarily buffer materials. When the buffer module 1000 is located at the top of the conveying device 2000, the baffle plate 200 is driven by the power component 300 to move up and down, descending and approaching the surface of the conveying device 2000 to temporarily buffer materials.

[0045] The conveying device 2000 proposed in this utility model achieves the functions of buffering and blocking materials by applying the aforementioned buffer module 1000. The conveying device 2000 is specifically, but not limited to, various forms of conveying equipment, such as belt conveyors, chain conveyors, roller conveyors, etc.

[0046] This utility model also proposes a conveyor line in which the conveying device 2000, including the aforementioned buffer module 1000, is applied to achieve efficient and stable material conveying. Specifically, but not limited to, the conveyor line can be a continuous conveying system composed of multiple conveying devices 2000, or an independent conveying system composed of a single conveying device 2000.

[0047] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
