It is also equipped with sensors and a control system to monitor the material transport in real time, ensuring smooth operation of the production line. Specifically, the dual-station gripper conveyor mainly consists of a frame, conveyor belt, drive unit, and control system. During operation, the drive unit rotates the conveyor belt, and the material is placed on the conveyor belt and moves along with it. By adjusting the speed and direction of the conveyor belt, it can flexibly adapt to different conveying needs, achieving continuous and stable material transport.

[0004] Although it enables two production lines of different specifications to share a single set of unpacking, packing, and sealing equipment, it overcomes the shortcomings of existing multiple independent packaging production lines, such as high equipment cost, large investment, increased maintenance workload, and large occupation of workshop space resources. It is widely used in workshops with multiple independent packaging production lines for equipment transformation and technology upgrade.
[0005] However, this does not solve the problem that existing gripping conveyors of this type are generally not conducive to switching between single and dual stations, affecting the disassembly of baffles to control the switching of the feeding direction, hindering bidirectional material input, making it difficult to coat the roller surface with rubber, affecting the roller's wear resistance, and increasing friction between the material and the roller, thus affecting the gripping convenience of dual-station gripping conveyors. This seriously affects the ease of use of gripping conveyors and greatly impacts their safety, causing significant inconvenience to users. Utility Model Content

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a dual-station gripping conveyor, comprising a frame and a support frame. The support frame is installed at the center of the bottom end of the frame. Manual baffles are symmetrically and movably installed on the side wall of the frame. A control panel is installed on the side of the frame away from the set of manual baffles. An automatic baffle is provided at the center of the inside of the frame.

[0009] Preferably, a stepper motor is installed on the side of the bottom of the frame away from the support frame, and a servo motor is installed on the other side of the bottom of the frame away from the support frame.
[0010] Preferably, a first conveyor belt is provided on the surface of the inner roller body of the first workstation, and the output end of the stepper motor is connected to the first conveyor belt.
[0011] Preferably, the surface of the inner roller body of the second workstation is provided with a second conveyor belt, and the output end of the servo motor is connected to the second conveyor belt.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the gripping conveyor can not only realize the single-station mode when the two systems work synchronously, but also realize the dual-station mode when the two systems work in opposite directions, which facilitates the switching between single-station and dual-station modes. It is also convenient to control the switching of the feeding direction by disassembling the control baffle, so as to realize the bidirectional input of materials. Moreover, the rubber coating on the surface of the roller can improve the wear resistance of the roller and increase the friction between the material and the roller, thus improving the gripping convenience of the dual-station gripping conveyor.
[0016] (1) When using the gripping conveyor, the manual baffles on both sides of the frame are removed, and the material is placed on the surface of the roller body inside station 1 and station 2 for synchronous conveying.

The support frame 2 is installed at the center of the bottom end of the frame 1. Manual baffles 3 are symmetrically and movably installed on the side wall of the frame 1. A control panel 18 is installed on the side of the frame 1 away from a set of manual baffles 3. An automatic baffle 4 is set at the center of the inside of the frame 1. Roller frames 14 are symmetrically installed at the top of the frame 1. Multiple sets of roller bodies 15 with equal spacing are movably installed at the top of each roller frame 14. The roller bodies 15 are all slidably connected to the roller frame 14. The left side of the automatic baffle 4 at the top of the frame 1 is the first station 7, and the right side of the automatic baffle 4 at the top of the frame 1 is the second station 8. A first photoelectric sensor 9 is symmetrically installed on the side wall of the roller frame 14 on one side of the automatic baffle 4.
[0025] On the side wall of the roller frame 14 on the other side of the automatic baffle 4, a second photoelectric sensor 10 is symmetrically installed, and a set of first photoelectric sensors 9 and second photoelectric sensors 10 are connected to the first station 7, and another set of first photoelectric sensors 9 and second photoelectric sensors 10 are connected to the second station 8.
[0026] A stepper motor 5 is installed on the bottom side of the frame 1 away from the support frame 2, and a servo motor 6 is installed on the other side of the bottom of the frame 1 away from the support frame 2.
[0027] The surface of the inner roller body 15 of station 1 is provided with a first conveyor belt 12, and the output end of the stepper motor 5 is connected to the first conveyor belt 12. The surface of the inner roller body 15 of station 2 is provided with a second conveyor belt 13, and the output end of the servo motor 6 is connected to the second conveyor belt 13.
[0028] A cylinder 11 is installed at the bottom of the support frame 2. The output end of the cylinder 11 passes through the support frame 2 and is connected to the automatic baffle 4. A support seat 17 is movably installed at the center of the automatic baffle 4. Two sets of guide columns 16 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the support seat 17.
[0029] The automatic baffle 4 is slidably connected to the guide column 16, and the output end of the control panel 18 is electrically connected to the input end of the stepper motor 5, the servo motor 6, the first photoelectric sensor 9, the second photoelectric sensor 10, and the cylinder 11.
[0030] When using the gripping conveyor, remove the manual baffles 3 on both sides of the frame 1. Place the material on the surface of the roller body 15 inside station 1 (station 7) and station 2 (station 8) for synchronous conveying. Simultaneously, turn on the stepper motor 5 and servo motor 6 from the control panel 18. Supported by the frame 1, the stepper motor 5 drives the first conveyor belt 12 to rotate the roller body 15 inside station 1 (station 7) at the top of the automatic baffle 4. The servo motor 6 drives the second conveyor belt 13 to rotate the roller body 15 inside station 2 (station 8) at the top of the automatic baffle 4, causing the material on the surfaces of station 1 (station 7) and station 2 (station 8) to move in opposite directions for conveying.

This facilitates the switching between single-station and dual-station modes and makes it easy to control the switching of the feeding direction by disassembling the control baffle, so as to realize the bidirectional input of material. The rubber coating on the surface of the roller can improve the wear resistance of the roller and increase the friction between the material and the roller, thereby improving the convenience of the dual-station gripping conveyor.
[0031] Working Principle: When using the gripping conveyor, the manual baffles 3 on both sides of the frame 1 are removed, and the material is placed on the surface of the roller body 15 inside station 1 (station 7) and station 2 (station 8) for synchronous conveying. Stepper motor 5 drives conveyor belt 12 to rotate the roller body 15 inside station 1 (station 7) at the top of the automatic baffle 4. Servo motor 6 drives conveyor belt 13 to rotate the roller body 15 inside station 2 (station 8) at the top of the automatic baffle 4, causing the material on the surfaces of station 1 (station 7) and station 2 (station 8) to move in opposite directions for conveying. When the first photoelectric sensor 9 and the second photoelectric sensor 10 detect the material passing by, cylinder 11 drives the automatic baffle 4 to move upward. Under the limiting position of guide column 16 and support seat 17, roller frame 14 moves upward to a certain position to separate the material, so that the material on both sides comes into contact with automatic baffle 4 and the robot arm is operated to grab it. When the two systems work synchronously, a single-station mode is realized. When the two systems work in turn, a dual-station mode is realized. It is convenient to switch between single-station and dual-station modes. It is convenient to control the switching of feeding direction by disassembling the control baffle, so as to realize bidirectional input of material in front and back. The rubber coating on the surface of the roller can improve the wear resistance of the roller and increase the friction between the material and the roller, thereby improving the convenience of grabbing the dual-station grabbing conveyor and completing the use of the grabbing conveyor.
