Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of conveying devices, and in particular relates to a lifting and rotating conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] In modern manufacturing and logistics systems, multi-production line collaborative operation has become a core model for improving production efficiency. However, with the growth of personalized production demands, traditional conveying equipment faces multiple technical bottlenecks in cross-production line material flow. Currently, most conveying systems are limited by fixed tracks, single direction of movement, or poor height adaptability, making it difficult to dynamically adapt to layout adjustments, height differences, and changes in cargo types across different production lines. When production lines need rapid reorganization or the addition of new processes, existing conveying equipment often requires the reinstallation of fixed supports and replacement of transmission components, resulting in long downtime and high modification costs. Furthermore, traditional equipment has limited vertical lifting capabilities, making it difficult to achieve cargo transfer in automated warehouses; while the limitation of a single conveying direction necessitates the stacking of multiple levels of equipment at transfer nodes, occupying space and incurring high costs.
