[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0030] The conveying and lifting device provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-9 The conveying and lifting device disclosed in this application includes a first conveying mechanism 200 and a lifting mechanism 300 arranged at intervals. The first conveying mechanism 200 is used to convey the object to be conveyed to the lifting mechanism 300 at the lifting position to be lifted, and the lifting mechanism 300 is used to drive the object to be conveyed to rise or fall from the lifting position to other positions.

[0032] The items to be transported may include only products, or they may include products and a pallet S. The pallet S is used to carry the products. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific category and structure of the products.

[0033] The first conveying mechanism 200 includes a first conveying section 210 and a second conveying section 220 that can move closer to each other and further away from each other. When the first conveying section 210 and the second conveying section 220 are close to each other, the first conveying section 210 and the second conveying section 220 jointly support the object to be conveyed so as to convey the object to be lifted to the lifting position.

[0034] Optionally, the structures of the first conveying unit 210 and the second conveying unit 220 may be the same or different, as shown in the reference. Figure 4 As shown, both the first conveying unit 210 and the second conveying unit 220 include a drive source 201, a first transmission wheel 202, a second transmission wheel 203, and a conveyor belt 204. The drive source 201 can be a drive component that provides rotational power, such as an electric motor or pneumatic motor. The output shaft of the drive source 201 is connected to the first transmission wheel 202 to drive its rotation. The first transmission wheel 202 and the second transmission wheel 203 are connected via the conveyor belt 204, so that the rotation of the first transmission wheel 202 drives the conveyor belt 204 to move. The conveyor belts 204 of the first conveying unit 210 and the second conveying unit 220 respectively carry the two ends of the object to be conveyed, jointly conveying the object.

[0035] Optionally, the conveying direction of the first conveying section 210 is the same as that of the second conveying section 220, and the direction of relative movement between the first conveying section 210 and the second conveying section intersects with their respective conveying directions. Further, the direction of relative movement between the first conveying section 210 and the second conveying section is perpendicular to their respective conveying directions.

[0036] When the object to be transported is in the position to be lifted and the first conveying part 210 and the second conveying part 220 are far apart from each other, that is, the gap between the first conveying part 210 and the second conveying part 220 increases, and the two can no longer support the object to be transported. The object to be transported falls to the support position of the lifting mechanism 300, and the lifting mechanism 300 supports the object to be transported. At this time, a first gap 200a is formed between the first conveying part 210 and the second conveying part 220. The first gap 200a is larger than the size of the object to be transported, so that the lifting mechanism 300 can drive the object to be transported to be lifted and lowered through the first gap 200a.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 200 and the lifting mechanism 300 of the conveying and lifting device are set separately. During the process of the lifting mechanism 300 driving the object to be conveyed to rise and fall, the first conveying part 210 and the second conveying part 220 can move closer to each other to convey the next object to be conveyed. Therefore, the conveying action and the lifting action can be carried out simultaneously, which is beneficial to saving conveying time and improving the conveying efficiency of the object to be conveyed.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the conveying and lifting device further includes a second conveying mechanism 500, which is spaced apart from the lifting mechanism 300, with the first conveying mechanism 200 and the second conveying mechanism 500 located at opposite ends of the lifting mechanism 300. When the lifting mechanism 300 lifts the object to be conveyed through the first gap 200a to the position to be conveyed, the second conveying mechanism 500 supports and conveys the object to be conveyed.

[0039] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the second conveying mechanism 500 is located below the first conveying mechanism 200. The second conveying mechanism 500 includes a third conveying section 510 and a fourth conveying section 520. The relative positions of the third conveying section 510 and the fourth conveying section 520 are fixed, and they jointly support the object to be conveyed. The structures of the third conveying section 510 and the fourth conveying section 520 may be the same or different. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific structure of the second conveying mechanism 500.

[0040] In this embodiment, the second conveying mechanism 500 is located below the first conveying mechanism 200. The first conveying section 210, the second conveying section 220, the third conveying section 510, and the fourth conveying section 520 have the same conveying direction and the same structure. The items to be conveyed include a pallet S and products. The items to be conveyed from the previous production line enter the conveying lifting device and are conveyed to the lifting position by the first conveying mechanism 200. An external transmission device, such as a robotic arm, can pick up the products from the items to be conveyed. Then, the first conveying section 210 and the second conveying section 220 move away from each other, so that the lifting mechanism 300 supports the pallet S. Further, the lifting mechanism 300 drives the pallet S to descend to the conveying position. At this time, the pallet S falls into the third conveying section 510 and the fourth conveying section 520. The second conveying mechanism 500 conveys the pallet S to the next production line, realizing the return process of the pallet S.

[0041] In this embodiment, the conveying and lifting device is equipped with a second conveying mechanism 500. This second conveying mechanism 500 facilitates the further conveying of the items to be conveyed to the next production line after being conveyed by the first conveying mechanism 200 and lifted by the lifting mechanism 300. Furthermore, during the conveying of the previous item by the second conveying mechanism 500, the first conveying section 210 and the second conveying section 220 can move closer together to convey the next item. The conveying actions of the first conveying mechanism 200 and the second conveying mechanism 500 can be performed simultaneously, which helps save conveying time and improves the conveying efficiency of the items.

[0042] In the scheme of this application, reference is made to Figure 1As shown, the conveying and lifting device also includes a frame 100, which serves as the mounting base for the lifting mechanism 300 and the first conveying mechanism 200. Both the lifting mechanism 300 and the first conveying mechanism 200 are mounted on the frame 100. The frame 100 includes a first support plate 110 and a second support plate 120, with the second support plate 120 located below the first support plate 110. The first conveying mechanism 200 is mounted on the first support plate 110, and the second conveying mechanism 500 is mounted on the second support plate 120. Optionally, the frame 100 can adopt a box-like structure, with both the first conveying mechanism 200 and the lifting mechanism 300 mounted inside the box. Alternatively, the frame 100 can adopt other structures besides a box, as long as they can accommodate the first conveying mechanism 200, the second conveying mechanism 500, and the lifting mechanism 300.

[0043] In this embodiment, by adding a frame 100, it is convenient to install the first conveying mechanism 200, the second conveying mechanism 500 and the lifting mechanism 300, which is beneficial to the protection of the first conveying mechanism 200, the second conveying mechanism 500 and the lifting mechanism 300.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 200 further includes a moving drive 230, which can be a linear module, telescopic cylinder, or other drive that can generate linear displacement. At least one of the first conveying section 210 and the second conveying section 220 is connected to the moving drive 230, and the moving drive 230 drives at least one of the first conveying section 210 and the second conveying section 220 to move, so that the first conveying section 210 and the second conveying section 220 move closer to each other or further away from each other.

[0045] Optionally, the moving drive component 230 is disposed on the first support plate 110. It may be that only the first conveying part 210 is connected to the moving drive component 230, or only the second conveying part 220 is connected to the moving drive component 230, or the first conveying part 210 and the second conveying part 220 are respectively connected to the moving drive component 230. Optionally, the housing of the moving drive component 230 is connected to the first support plate 110 by welding, bonding or other means, and the driving end of the moving drive component 230 is connected to the corresponding conveying part by welding, bonding or other means.

[0046] This configuration allows the first conveying unit 210 and the second conveying unit 220 to move closer to or further apart from each other via the moving drive unit 230, which helps improve conveying efficiency and saves overall conveying time.

[0047] In a further embodiment, reference is made to... Figures 3-5As shown, the conveying and lifting device also includes a first slide rail 112 and a first slider 111. One of the first slide rail 112 and the first slider 111 is disposed on the frame 100, and the other is connected to at least one of the first conveying section 210 and the second conveying section 220. The first slide rail 112 extends along the direction of relative movement of the first conveying section 210 and the second conveying section 220, and the first slide rail 112 and the first slider 111 are in sliding engagement.

[0048] Optionally, the first slide rail 112 is disposed on the first support plate 110, and the first slider 111 is connected to at least one of the first conveying part 210 and the second conveying part 220 by welding, bonding or other means. Alternatively, the first slider 111 is disposed on the first support plate 110, and the first slide rail 112 is connected to at least one of the first conveying part 210 and the second conveying part 220 by welding, bonding or other means.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first slide rail 112 and the first slider 111 guide the movement direction of at least one of the first conveying part 210 and the second conveying part 220, ensuring that its movement direction is accurate and preventing deviation of the movement direction of at least one of the first conveying part 210 and the second conveying part 220.

[0050] Optionally, there are multiple first slide rails 112 and first sliders 111, with each first slide rail 112 and each first slider 111 spaced apart, and each first slide rail 112 and first slider 111 corresponding one-to-one. Further optionally, there are two moving drive members 230, which are respectively connected to the first conveying section 210 and the second conveying section 220. There are four first slide rails 112 and first sliders 111. Each end of the first conveying section 210 has a set of cooperating first slide rails 112 and first sliders 111, and each end of the second conveying section 220 has a set of cooperating first slide rails 112 and second sliders.

[0051] With this configuration, the number of first slide rails 112 and first sliders 111 increases, which can apply guidance to different positions of at least one of the first conveying section 210 and the second conveying section 220 respectively, which is more conducive to the accurate overall movement direction of at least one of the first conveying section 210 and the second conveying section 220, and avoids deviation of the movement direction.

[0052] In the scheme of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 As shown, the conveying and lifting device also includes a positioning mechanism 600. When the first conveying part 210 and the second conveying part 220 convey the object to be conveyed to the lifting position, the positioning mechanism 600 is engaged with the object to be conveyed for limiting.

[0053] Optionally, the positioning mechanism 600 can be configured to limit the movement of the object to be conveyed along the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism 200, or it can be configured to limit the movement of the object to be conveyed in the opposite direction of the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism 200, or it can be configured to limit the movement of the object to be conveyed along the lifting direction of the lifting mechanism 300. This application embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the positioning mechanism 600, as long as it can position the object to be conveyed after it has been conveyed to the designated position.

[0054] In this embodiment, a positioning mechanism 600 is added to position the object to be transported, which is more conducive to the accurate placement of the object on the lifting mechanism 300, prevents the object from continuing to move after it has been transported to the correct position, and avoids the object's position from shifting.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the positioning mechanism 600 includes a blocking member 610. When the first conveying part 210 and the second conveying part 220 convey the object to be conveyed to the lifting position, the blocking member 610 is engaged with the object to be conveyed along a first direction A. The first direction A can be the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism 200.

[0056] In another embodiment, the positioning mechanism 600 further includes a check component 620. In the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism 200, the blocking member 610 and the check component 620 are spaced apart. The check component 620 includes a mounting member 621 and a check member 622. The mounting member 621 is used to mount the check member 622. Optionally, the mounting member 621 is disposed on the first support plate 110, and the mounting member 621 and the first support plate 110 can be connected by welding, bonding, or other methods. The check member 622 is movably disposed. Regarding the mounting member 621, the movable positions of the check member 622 include a first position and a second position. Optionally, the check member 622 can be slidably connected to the mounting member 621, or the check member 622 can be rotatably connected to the mounting member 621. Further optionally, the mounting member 621 is provided with a groove, and the check member 622 is movably disposed in the groove. When the check member 622 is in the first position, the check member 622 is located in the groove; when the check member 622 is in the second position, the check member 622 extends out of the groove.

[0057] When the first conveying section 210 and the second conveying section 220 are conveying the object to be conveyed, the check member 622 moves to the first position to avoid the object to be conveyed. Optionally, during the process of the first conveying mechanism 200 conveying the object to be conveyed, the object to be conveyed is in direct contact with the check member 622, and the weight of the object to be conveyed acts on the check member 622, causing the check member 622 to extend into the groove and remain in the first position. When the first conveying section 210 and the second conveying section 220 convey the object to be conveyed to the lifting position, the blocking member 610 is in a limiting engagement with the object to be conveyed along the first direction A. At this time, the object to be conveyed and the check member 622 no longer continue to be in contact, the weight of the object to be conveyed no longer acts on the check member 622, and the check member 622 moves to the second position, where the check member 622 and the object to be conveyed are in a limiting engagement in the opposite direction of the first direction A.

[0058] Optionally, the blocking member 610 makes limiting contact with the object to be conveyed along the first direction A, and the check member 622 makes limiting contact with the object to be conveyed along the opposite direction A.

[0059] In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 600 is equipped with both a blocking component 610 and a check component 620. The blocking component 610 and the check component 620 limit the object to be conveyed from opposite directions, which is more conducive to positioning the object to be conveyed in place, ensuring that the object to be conveyed falls accurately into the lifting mechanism 300, and preventing the position of the object to be conveyed from shifting.

[0060] Optionally, the check valve assembly 620 may further include an elastic element, which may be, but is not limited to, a spring. A first end of the elastic element is connected to the mounting member 621, and a second end of the elastic element is connected to the check valve 622. When the check valve 622 is located within the groove, the elastic element undergoes elastic deformation; when the check valve 622 extends beyond the groove, the elastic element returns to its elastic deformation. Further optionally, the first end of the elastic element may be in direct contact with the mounting member 621 or connected by welding, bonding, or other methods, and the second end of the elastic element may be in direct contact with the check valve 622 or connected by welding, bonding, or other methods.

[0061] In a further embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 4 As shown, the positioning mechanism 600 also includes a positioning element 630, which is disposed on the frame 100. The positioning element 630 can be a positioning post, positioning block, etc. The specific structure of the positioning element 630 is not limited in this embodiment. Optionally, the positioning element 630 can be disposed on the first mounting plate 403, and the positioning element 630 can be connected to the first mounting plate 403 by welding, bonding, or other means.

[0062] When the first conveying unit 210 and the second conveying unit 220 convey the object to be conveyed to the lifting position, the positioning member 630 can be positioned and engaged with the object to be conveyed. Optionally, the object to be conveyed includes a tray S, which has a positioning hole S1. When the first conveying unit 210 and the second conveying unit 220 convey the object to be conveyed to the lifting position, the positioning member 630 extends into the positioning hole S1, and the positioning member 630 is positioned and engaged with the positioning hole S1. Further optionally, the positioning member 630 is a positioning post, and the positioning post has the same shape and size as the positioning hole S1.

[0063] In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 600 is further equipped with a positioning component 630 to further position the object to be transported after the blocking component 610 and the check component 620 limit it. In addition to the direction in which the blocking component 610 and the check component 620 limit the object to be transported, the position of the object to be transported is prevented from shifting in other directions, which is more conducive to the accurate positioning of the object to be transported.

[0064] In an optional embodiment, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the conveying and lifting device also includes a lifting mechanism 700, which is connected to a positioning member 630. Optionally, the positioning member 630 is mounted on the second support plate 120 via the lifting mechanism 700. The housing of the lifting mechanism 700 is connected to the second support plate 120 by welding, bonding, or other methods. The drive end of the lifting mechanism 700 is connected to the positioning member 630. When the positioning member 630 is positioned and engaged with the object to be conveyed, the lifting mechanism 700 can drive the object to be conveyed to rise or fall. Specifically, the lifting mechanism 700 drives the object to be conveyed to rise or fall via the positioning member 630.

[0065] Optionally, the lifting mechanism 700 can be a linear module, telescopic cylinder, or other driving component capable of generating linear displacement; the direction of motion of the object to be conveyed driven by the lifting mechanism 700 is parallel to the lifting direction of the lifting mechanism 300.

[0066] In this embodiment, the conveying lifting device is equipped with a lifting mechanism 700, which facilitates the lifting of the conveyed object to be transported, so that the object to be transported is removed from the first conveying mechanism 200 and placed in a higher position, thereby facilitating the external transmission device such as a robot to pick up a part of the object to be transported (i.e., the product). The lifting mechanism 700 continues to drive the remaining part of the object to be transported (i.e., the pallet S) to descend to the bearing position of the lifting mechanism 300.

[0067] Of course, in other embodiments, the conveying lifting device may not have a lifting mechanism 700, that is, the positioning member 630 may be directly connected to the second mounting plate 403.

[0068] In an optional embodiment, there are multiple positioning mechanisms 600 and lifting mechanisms 700. The first conveying section 210 has one positioning mechanism 600 and one lifting mechanism 700 on the side near the second conveying section 220, and the second conveying section 220 also has one positioning mechanism 600 and one lifting mechanism 700 on the side near the first conveying section 210. This arrangement increases the number of positioning mechanisms 600, which is beneficial for positioning the conveyed object at different locations and improves the accuracy of the positioning.

[0069] In the scheme of this application, reference is made to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the conveying and lifting device also includes a support member 400 for supporting the object to be conveyed. The support member 400 extends along the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism 200, that is, the support member 400 has a strip-shaped structure. The support member 400 is connected to the lifting mechanism 300, and the lifting mechanism 300 drives the object to be conveyed to rise and fall through the support member 400. Optionally, the lifting mechanism 300 can be a linear module, telescopic cylinder, or other component capable of linear displacement. The support member 400 is connected to the movable end of the lifting mechanism 300 by welding, bonding, or other methods.

[0070] In this embodiment, the addition of a support member 400 to support the object to be transported makes it easier for the lifting mechanism 300 to lift the object to be transported through the support member 400. Moreover, in the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism 200, the contact area between the support member 400 and the object to be transported is increased, and the bearing area of ​​the object to be transported is increased, which is more conducive to improving the lifting stability of the object to be transported.

[0071] In a further embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 7 As shown, the support component 400 includes a support plate 401, a reinforcing plate 402, and a mounting plate 403. The support plate 401 supports the object to be conveyed. The reinforcing plate 402 is connected to the support plate 401, and the plane of the reinforcing plate 402 is perpendicular to the plane of the support plate 401. The mounting plate 403 is connected to both the support plate 401 and the reinforcing plate 402, and the plane of the mounting plate 403 is perpendicular to both the plane of the reinforcing plate 402 and the plane of the support plate 401. Optionally, the support plate 401, the reinforcing plate 402, and the mounting plate 403 can be an integral structure, or they can be separate structures, specifically connected by methods such as bonding or welding.

[0072] Of course, in other embodiments, the support member 400 may not extend along the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism 200. The support member 400 can improve lifting stability by means other than increasing the bearing area. Optionally, the support member 400 can drive the object to be conveyed by adsorption.

[0073] In one alternative embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 7As shown, the support component 400 is equipped with a detection module 410, which is used to detect the status of the object to be conveyed. The detection module 410 is communicatively connected to the first conveying mechanism 200 and the lifting mechanism 300, respectively, and controls the first conveying mechanism 200 and the lifting mechanism 300 according to the detection information of the detection module 410. Optionally, the object to be conveyed includes a product and a pallet S, which is used to carry the product. The detection module 410 includes a product detection component 411 and a pallet detection component 412. The product detection component 411 is used to detect whether the product is in position relative to the support component 400, and the pallet detection component 412 is used to detect whether the pallet S is in position relative to the support component 400.

[0074] Optionally, the detection module 410 can be communicatively connected to the first conveying mechanism 200, the second conveying mechanism 500, the lifting mechanism 300, and the jacking mechanism 700, and control the first conveying mechanism 200, the second conveying mechanism 500, the lifting mechanism 300, and the jacking mechanism 700 according to the detection information of the detection module 410. Further optionally, the conveying and lifting device may also include a controller, which may be a programmable controller, a microcontroller, or other control device, and the controller is communicatively connected to the detection module 410, the first conveying mechanism 200, the second conveying mechanism 500, the lifting mechanism 300, and the jacking mechanism 700 respectively.

[0075] Specifically, when the detection module 410 detects that both the product and the pallet S are in place, the first conveying mechanism 200 starts working and conveys the item to be conveyed; when the detection module 410 detects that both the product and the pallet S are in place and the item to be conveyed is in the lifting position, the lifting mechanism 700 starts to operate, lifting the item to be conveyed so that the external conveying device can take the product; when the detection module 410 detects that there is no product and the pallet S is in place, the lifting mechanism 700 reverses its operation, lowering the pallet S to the lifting position, and further the first conveying part 210 and the second conveying part 220 move away from each other while the lifting mechanism 300 continues to operate.

[0076] Alternatively, both product detection element 411 and pallet detection element 412 can be infrared sensors, using infrared light to detect target objects and utilizing the physical properties of infrared light to detect the sensing intensity, thereby providing feedback on whether the target object is in position. Alternatively, product detection element 411 and pallet detection element 412 can also be photoelectric sensors, specifically including a transmitter and a receiver. The light signal emitted by the transmitter can be received by the receiver. When the product or pallet S is in position relative to the support element 400, the product or pallet S blocks the light signal, preventing the receiver from receiving it. Thus, whether the product or pallet S is in position is determined by whether the receiver can receive the light signal. Of course, product detection element 411 and pallet detection element 412 can also detect whether the product and pallet S are in position using other detection principles.

[0077] In this embodiment, the support component 400 is equipped with a detection module 410. The detection module 410 identifies the state of the object to be transported, and then accurately controls the lifting mechanism 300 and the first conveying mechanism 200 according to the state of the object to be transported. This is conducive to achieving automation and improving the working efficiency of the lifting and conveying device.

[0078] In a further embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 8 As shown, the product detection component 411 includes a probe holder 411a, a probe 411b, and a proximity sensor 411c. The probe holder 411a is disposed on the support plate 401 and can be connected to the support plate 401 by welding, bonding, or other methods. The probe 411b is movably disposed on the probe holder 411a, and the proximity sensor 411c is located below the probe 411b, opposite to it. When the support plate 401 supports the tray S and the product is in position relative to the support plate 401, the product acts on the probe 411b, causing the probe 411b to move relative to the probe holder 411a. The lower part of the probe 411b contacts the proximity sensor 411c, causing the proximity sensor 411c to sense a signal. Thus, the sensing information from the proximity sensor 411c is used to determine whether the product is in position.

[0079] In an optional embodiment, the number of product detection components 411 and pallet detection components 412 is at least two, with at least two product detection components 411 spaced apart and at least two pallet detection components 412 also spaced apart. Thus, the combination of at least two product detection components 411 facilitates accurate detection of whether a product is in place; the combination of at least two pallet detection components 412 facilitates accurate detection of whether the pallet S is in place.

[0080] Of course, in other embodiments, the conveying and lifting device may not be equipped with the detection module 410, and the user can control the first conveying mechanism 200 and the lifting mechanism 300 by observing the state of the object to be conveyed.

[0081] In an optional embodiment, refer to Figure 7 As shown, the support member 400 is provided with a limiting structure 420. When the support member 400 supports the object to be conveyed, the limiting structure 420 engages with the object to be conveyed in a limiting manner. The limiting structure 420 can be a stop or other structures; the specific structure of the limiting structure 420 is not limited in this embodiment. Optionally, the limiting structure 420 and the support plate 401 can be connected by welding, bonding, or other methods.

[0082] In this embodiment, the support member 400 is equipped with a limiting structure member 420. The limiting structure member 420 restricts the relative position of the object to be transported with respect to the support member 400, preventing the object to be transported from shifting relative to the support plate 401 during the lifting process, which helps to improve the stability of the object to be transported during the lifting process.

[0083] In one alternative embodiment, the number of limiting structure members 420 may be one.

[0084] In another embodiment, reference Figure 7 As shown, there are multiple limiting structures 420, which are spaced apart to limit the object to be conveyed from different directions. Optionally, along the direction of extension of the support member 400, both the first and second ends of the support plate 401 are provided with limiting structures 420. The limiting structure 420 at the first end limits the object to be conveyed along a first direction A, and the limiting structure 420 at the second end limits the object to be conveyed in the opposite direction of the first direction A. Further optionally, at least two limiting structures 420 are spaced apart at the first end of the support plate 401.

[0085] With this configuration, the number of limiting structural components 420 increases, allowing for the limiting of the object to be conveyed from different directions. This better prevents the object from shifting relative to the support plate 401, further improving the stability of the object during the lifting process.

[0086] In an optional embodiment, refer to Figure 9 As shown, the conveying and lifting device also includes multiple guide members 800, which are spaced apart and extend along the lifting direction of the lifting mechanism 300. The multiple guide members 800 cooperate to form a guiding space. During the process of the lifting mechanism 300 lifting the object to be conveyed, the guide members 800 guide and cooperate with the object to be conveyed, allowing the object to move within the guiding space. Optionally, there can be multiple guide members 800. The second conveying mechanism 500 includes a third conveying section 510 and a fourth conveying section 520. At least two guide members 800 are spaced apart along the conveying direction at the location of the third conveying section 510, and at least two guide members 800 are spaced apart along the conveying direction at the location of the fourth conveying section 520.

[0087] In this embodiment, a guide component 800 is added to guide the movement direction of the object to be transported during the lifting process, thereby preventing the position of the object from shifting and improving the stability of the object during the lifting process.

[0088] Of course, in other embodiments, the conveying and lifting device may not have a guide member 800, and the lifting direction of the lifting mechanism 300 may be accurately controlled to ensure that the lifting direction of the object to be conveyed is accurate.

[0089] In the scheme of this application, reference is made to Figure 1As shown, the rack 100 also includes a protective mechanism 130, a communication interface mounting plate 140, a touch screen 150, and supporting feet 160. The rack 100 can be a box-type structure. The rack 100 has a conveying inlet and a conveying outlet. The conveying inlet is opposite to the first conveying mechanism 200, and the conveying outlet is opposite to the second conveying mechanism 500. Both the conveying inlet and the conveying outlet are equipped with protective mechanisms 130. Optionally, the protective mechanism 130 can be a safety light curtain, forming a protective barrier at the conveying inlet and the conveying outlet to prevent personnel from entering the rack 100 through the conveying inlet and the conveying outlet; the touch screen 150... The 50 is located at the top of the frame 100. The touch screen 150 is communicatively connected to the first conveying mechanism 200, the second conveying mechanism 500, the lifting mechanism 300, and the jacking mechanism 700, so as to control each mechanism through the touch screen 150. The communication interface mounting plate 140 is located at the bottom of the frame 100. The communication interface mounting plate 140 is provided with a communication interface for connecting wires. Through the communication interface, the wires are connected to establish communication connections with the mechanisms within the frame 100 that require communication. The support foot 160 is located at the bottom of the frame 100 and is used to support the frame 100.

[0090] In an optional embodiment, refer to Figures 2-4 As shown, the first support plate 110 is equipped with an inlet detection mechanism 113, which is opposite to the conveying inlet to detect whether the object to be conveyed has successfully entered the conveying inlet; Reference Figure 9 As shown, the second support plate 120 is provided with an outlet detection mechanism 121, which is opposite to the conveying outlet to detect whether the material to be conveyed flows out of the conveying outlet.

[0091] In an optional embodiment, the conveying lifting device further includes a product position sensor 910 and a pallet position sensor 920. The product position sensor 910 is used to sense the position of the product, and the pallet position sensor 920 is used to sense the position of the pallet S. The product position sensor 910 and the pallet position sensor 920 are provided at the locations of the first conveying mechanism 200 and the second conveying mechanism 500.

[0092] Specifically, refer to Figures 2-4 As shown, a product position sensor 910 and a pallet position sensor 920 are provided on the side of the first conveying section 210 facing the second conveying section 220, and the same applies to the side of the second conveying section 220 facing the first conveying section 210. Thus, the product position sensor 910 and the pallet position sensor 920 are used to detect the positions of the product and the pallet S during the conveying process of the first conveying mechanism 200. (Reference) Figure 9As shown, a pallet position sensor 920 is provided on the side of the third conveying unit 510 facing the fourth conveying unit 520. Thus, the pallet position sensor 920 is used to detect the position of the pallet S during the conveying process of the second conveying mechanism 500.
