Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to conveying devices, and more particularly to a hybrid conveyor line and conveying system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, one type of conveyor line is the magnetically driven conveyor line. A magnetically driven conveyor line includes a stator and a mover. The mover moves along a predetermined conveying direction under the magnetic force between the stator and the mover.

[0003] Because magnetic drive conveyor lines are expensive, using them for the entire conveyor line (or production line) would put significant cost pressure on the industry. For example, some scenarios with low precision requirements, low conveying speed requirements, and no special conveying requirements do not require magnetic drive conveyor lines, but using them in such scenarios would still put significant cost pressure on the industry. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to disclose a hybrid conveyor line and conveyor system that can meet production needs and reduce costs.

[0005] This application provides a hybrid conveyor line, the hybrid conveyor line comprising:

[0006] Movers;

[0007] The first conveyor line is a magnetically driven conveyor line.

[0008] The second conveyor line and the first conveyor line are both used to convey the moving part. The second conveyor line is located on at least one side of the first conveyor line along the conveying direction of the moving part, including the front side, the rear side, the left side, and the right side. The second conveyor line is at least one of the following: a plate chain line, a conveyor belt line, and a roller line.

[0009] One or more sets of support modules, the support modules being located on at least one side of the first conveyor line and / or the second conveyor line along the conveying direction of the mover, the support modules including support members arranged along the conveying direction of the mover;

[0010] The moving part is located on the support member and supported by the support member. During the conveying of the moving part, the friction between the moving part and the support member is rolling friction, and the coefficient of friction of the rolling friction is μ, 0.05≤μ≤0.12; or, the friction between the moving part and the support member is static friction.

[0011] In some embodiments, the support module is located between the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line; or,

[0012] The support module is located between multiple first conveyor lines or between multiple second conveyor lines.

[0013] In some embodiments, there are multiple first conveyor lines, and the support module is located between two adjacent first conveyor lines; or...

[0014] There are multiple second conveyor lines, and the support module is located between two adjacent second conveyor lines.

[0015] In some embodiments, when there are multiple sets of support modules, the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line are arranged along the conveying direction of the mover, and the multiple sets of support modules are located on the left and right sides of the first conveyor line and / or the second conveyor line along the conveying direction of the mover.

[0016] In some embodiments, when multiple sets of the support modules are located on the left and right sides of the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line along the conveying direction of the mover, the support modules located on both sides of the first conveyor line and the support modules located on both sides of the second conveyor line are misaligned in a first direction, the first direction being perpendicular to the conveying direction of the mover.

[0017] In some embodiments, when multiple sets of the support modules are located on the left and right sides of the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line along the conveying direction of the mover, the support modules on both sides of the first conveyor line are aligned with the support modules on both sides of the second conveyor line, or, and / or, the support modules located on the same side of the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line are connected.

[0018] In some embodiments, the support module includes a drive member that drives at least a portion of the support member such that at least a portion of the support module forms the second conveyor line.

[0019] In some embodiments, when multiple sets of the support modules are located on the left and right sides of the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line along the conveying direction of the mover, at least one support module located at the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line forms the second conveyor line.

[0020] In some embodiments, the support is one of a roller and a slat, and the mover includes the other of the roller and the slat. 。

[0021] This application also provides a conveying system, which includes a first conveying module, a second conveying module, and a connecting module;

[0022] The first conveying module and the second conveying module are arranged adjacent to each other, and there is a non-zero included angle between the conveying direction of the mover of the first conveying module and the conveying direction of the mover of the second conveying module, and at least one of the first conveying module and the second conveying module is a hybrid conveying line as described above;

[0023] The connecting module includes a connecting motor and a connecting stator. The connecting motor drives the connecting stator to rotate, conveying the moving part from the first conveying module to the second conveying module.

[0024] As described above, the first conveyor line is a magnetically driven conveyor line, and the second conveyor line is at least one of a plate chain line, a conveyor belt line, and a roller conveyor line. The first conveyor line is more expensive than the second conveyor line. Therefore, a high-cost first conveyor line is used in scenarios with high process requirements, high conveying accuracy, and high flexibility requirements; while a low-cost second conveyor line is used in scenarios with low process requirements, low conveying accuracy, and no flexibility requirements. Thus, the hybrid conveyor line, consisting of a high-cost first conveyor line and a low-cost second conveyor line, is less expensive than a conveyor line that only uses a high-cost magnetically driven conveyor line. Furthermore, since the support module is arranged along the conveying direction of the mover, and during the conveying process, the mover and the support undergo rolling or static friction, on the one hand, the mover can be placed directly on the support. For example, no fixed structure is needed between the mover and the support, and the mover can be picked up and put down without unlocking or locking, making it convenient. On the other hand, the support ensures stable conveying of the mover, preventing it from tipping over. Moreover, during the rolling friction between the mover and the support, since 0.05≤μ≤0.12, energy loss in the mixed conveying line can be reduced, and the mover is less prone to slippage during movement, further facilitating the picking up and putting down of the mover.

[0042] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this application will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0043] If the embodiments of this application contain terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figures); if the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" used in the embodiments of this application are only for descriptive convenience and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0044] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 17 The following describes some embodiments of this application in detail. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described below can be combined with each other.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 and combine when necessary Figures 2 to 17 As shown, the conveying system 1000 includes a first conveying module 100, a second conveying module 200, and a connecting module 300.

[0046] The first conveying module 100 and the second conveying module 200 are arranged adjacent to each other, and there is a non-zero angle, such as a right angle or other non-zero angle, between the conveying direction F of the mover of the first conveying module 100 and the conveying direction F1 of the mover of the second conveying module 200. The connecting module 300 can be rotated to dock with the first conveying module 100 and the second conveying module 200. The first conveying module 100 can be a hybrid conveying line.

[0047] It should be noted that, Figure 2 The diagram illustrates that the conveying direction F of the moving part in the first conveying module 100 is a straight line. Of course, the conveying direction of the moving part is not limited to a straight line, such as an arc, an S-shape, or other non-linear directions. Figure 2 The diagram illustrates that the transmission direction F1 of the mover in the second conveying module 200 is a straight line. Of course, the transmission direction of the mover is not limited to a straight line, such as an arc, S-shape, or other non-linear directions.

[0048] Please see Figure 2 and combine when necessary Figures 3 to 16 As shown, the hybrid conveyor line may include a first conveyor line 1, a second conveyor line 2, a support module 3, and a mover 4.

[0049] The first conveyor line 1 is used to convey the mover 4. The first conveyor line 1 is a magnetic drive conveyor line. The first conveyor line 1 includes one or more linear stators 11. The linear stator 11 mainly refers to the part that conveys the mover 4. The linear stator 11 is equipped with coils.

[0050] The mover 4 may be equipped with a permanent magnet array. The coils in the linear stator 11 are used to couple with the permanent magnet array in the mover 4 to drive the mover 4 to move. Specifically, the coils in the linear stator 11 can be periodically energized to generate a magnetic field. The magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet array in the mover 4 interacts with the coils to generate a driving force that enables the mover 4 to move.

[0051] The second conveyor line 2 is used to convey the moving part 4. The second conveyor line 2 mainly refers to the part that conveys the moving part 4. The second conveyor line 2 is at least one of a plate chain line, a conveyor belt line, and a roller line.

[0052] The accompanying drawings of this application exemplify the use of a roller conveyor as an example for describing the second conveyor line 2. Accordingly, the second conveyor line 2 may include a plurality of rollers 21 arranged along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. When the second conveyor line 2 is used to convey the mover 4, the mover 4 is located on the rollers 21, and the mover 4 is driven to move along the conveying direction F by the rotation of the rollers 21.

[0053] It is understood that when the second conveyor line 2 is a plate chain line, the second conveyor line 2 may include a plate chain that can move along the conveying direction of the mover. When the second conveyor line 2 is used to transport the mover, the mover is located on the plate chain and is driven to move along the conveying direction F by the movement of the plate chain.

[0054] When the second conveyor line 2 is a conveyor belt line, it may include a conveyor belt capable of driving along the conveying direction of the moving part. When the second conveyor line 2 is used to transport the moving part, the moving part is located on the conveyor belt and is driven to move along the conveying direction F by the transmission of the conveyor belt.

[0055] With the positive direction of the conveying direction F of the mover 4 as the front and the negative direction of the conveying direction F of the mover 4 as the rear, the two opposite sides of the conveying direction F of the mover 4 are the left and right sides, one side being the left and the other side being the right. The second conveyor line 2 is located on at least one of the front, rear, left and right sides of the first conveyor line 1 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4.

[0056] In some embodiments, the second conveyor line 2 is located in front of or behind the first conveyor line 1, or both in front of and behind the first conveyor line 1. That is, the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are arranged along the conveying direction of the mover 4. With this arrangement, when conveying the mover 4, the second conveyor line 2 and the first conveyor line 1 can cooperate to transport the mover 4, which is beneficial for reducing transmission costs compared to using only the first conveyor line 1. For example... Figure 2 , Figures 9 to 16 As shown, Figure 2 , Figures 9 to 16An example is shown where the second conveyor line 2 is located behind the first conveyor line 1.

[0057] In other embodiments, the second conveyor line 2 is located to the left, right, or both sides of the first conveyor line 1 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. That is, the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are arranged along a first direction ff, which is perpendicular to the conveying direction F of the mover 4. This arrangement allows the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 to operate selectively when conveying the mover 4, thus selectively reducing transmission costs. Furthermore, repairing one of the conveyor lines does not affect the use of the other, i.e., it does not affect normal conveying efficiency. For example... Figures 6 to 7 As shown, Figure 6 and Figure 7 An example is shown where the second conveyor line 2 is located on the left and right sides of the first conveyor line 1 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4.

[0058] In some other embodiments, the second conveyor 2 is simultaneously located on the front and rear sides, and the left and right sides, of the first conveyor 1 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. For example, the second conveyor 2 may be located on the front or rear side of the first conveyor 1 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, and also on the left or right side of the first conveyor 1 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. Alternatively, the second conveyor 2 may be located on the front or rear side of the first conveyor 1, and also on the left and right sides of the first conveyor 1. Alternatively, the second conveyor 2 may be located on both the front and rear sides of the first conveyor 1, and also on the left or right side of the first conveyor 1. Alternatively, the second conveyor 2 may be located on both the front and rear sides of the first conveyor 1, and also on the left and right sides of the first conveyor 1.

[0059] This configuration, when conveying the mover 4 in the conveying direction, is more cost-effective than using only the first conveyor line. When the mover 4 is conveyed by the second conveyor line 2 located to the left or right of the first conveyor line 1, the first and second conveyor lines 1 and 2 can operate selectively, thus selectively reducing transmission costs. Furthermore, when one of the first or second conveyor lines 1 or 2 is being repaired in this conveying section, the use of the other conveyor line is not affected, meaning that normal conveying efficiency is not compromised.

[0060] The support module 3 can be one or more sets. The support module 3 can be located on at least one side of the front, rear, left and right sides of the first conveyor line 1 and / or the second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4.

[0061] The first conveyor line 1 may be one or more.

[0062] When there is only one first conveyor line body 1, the support module 3 can be located on the front side of the first conveyor line body 1 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, or on the rear side of the first conveyor line body 1 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, or simultaneously on the front and rear sides of the first conveyor line body 1 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. Figure 13 As shown, Figure 13 An example is shown where the support module 3 is located on the front side of the first conveyor line 1. For example... Figure 14 As shown, Figure 14 An example is shown where the support module 3 is located on the rear side of the first conveyor line 1.

[0063] When there is only one first conveyor line 1, the support module 3 can be located on the left side of the first conveyor line 1 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, or on the right side of the first conveyor line 1 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. Alternatively, the support module 3 can be located on both the left and right sides of the first conveyor line 1 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. This arrangement makes the first conveyor line 1 convey the mover 4 more stably.

[0064] When there are multiple first conveyor lines 1, taking two as an example, both first conveyor lines 1 can be located on the left or right side of the support module 3. This arrangement can increase the load on the first conveyor line 1 and improve the conveying speed. Alternatively, the two first conveyor lines 1 can be located on the left and right sides of the support module 3, that is, the support module 3 is located between the two first conveyor lines 1. This arrangement can increase the load on the first conveyor line 1, improve the conveying speed, and make the conveyor mover 4 of the first conveyor line 1 more stable.

[0065] The second conveyor line 2 can be one or more.

[0066] When there is one first conveyor line 1 and one second conveyor line 2, the support module 3 can be located on the front, rear, left, or right side of both the first and second conveyor lines 1 and 2. Alternatively, the support module 3 can be located in a combination of the front and rear sides and the left and right sides of both the first and second conveyor lines 1 and 2, such as on the front and rear sides, the left and right sides, the front or rear sides, or the left or right sides. Figure 12 An illustrative example shows the support module 3 located behind both the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2. Figure 13 An example is shown where the support module 3 is located in front of both the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2.

[0067] The support module 3 can also be located between the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2. A first conveyor line 1 and a second conveyor line 2 are arranged along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, and the support module 3 can be located between the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. For example... Figure 14 The example shows the support module 3 located between the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. Of course, if the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are arranged along a first direction ff, the support module 3 can be located between the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 along the first direction ff. This arrangement allows for more stable conveying when transporting the mover 4.

[0068] When there is one first conveyor line 1 and multiple second conveyor lines 2, taking two second conveyor lines as an example, the support module 3 can be located between the two second conveyor lines 2. The first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are arranged as a whole along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, and the support module 3 is located between the two second conveyor lines 2.

[0069] It is understandable that when the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are arranged along the first direction ff, the two second conveyor lines 2 can be located on the left and right sides of the first conveyor line 1 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. The support module 3 can be located on the left and right sides of the first conveyor line 1 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. For example, Figure 7 As shown, the support module 3 can be located between the two second conveyor lines 2 and the first conveyor line 1, respectively. For example... Figure 8 As shown, the support module 3 can be located on the side of the two second conveyor lines 2 away from the first conveyor line 1.

[0070] When there are multiple first conveyor lines 1 and one second conveyor line 2 (taking two first conveyor lines 1 as an example), the support module 3 can be located between the two first conveyor lines 1. Figure 16 As shown, the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are arranged along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, and the support module 3 is located between the two first conveyor lines 1.

[0071] It is understandable that when the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are arranged along the first direction ff, the two first conveyor line lines 1 can be located on the left and right sides of the second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. The support module 3 can be located on the left and right sides of the second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. For example, the support module 3 can be located between the two first conveyor line lines 1 and the second conveyor line 2 respectively. Similarly... Figure 8 The arrangement shown is the same as Figure 8The difference is that two first conveyor lines 1 and one second conveyor line 2 are arranged along the first direction ff, and the two first conveyor lines 1 are located on the left and right sides of the second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, respectively, and the support module 3 is located on the side of the two first conveyor lines 1 away from the second conveyor line 2.

[0072] When there are multiple first conveyor lines 1 and multiple second conveyor lines 2, taking an example where there are two first conveyor lines 1 and two second conveyor lines 2, such as... Figure 15 As shown, the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are arranged along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, and the support module 3 can be located between the two first conveyor lines 1 and between the two second conveyor lines 2. This arrangement makes the conveying of the mover 4 more stable.

[0073] It is understandable that when the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are arranged along the first direction ff, the support module 3 can be located between two adjacent conveyor lines. For example, the support module 3 is located between two first conveyor lines 1, and the two second conveyor lines 2 are located on the side of the two first conveyor lines 1 away from the support module 3. Alternatively, the support module 3 is located between second conveyor lines 2, and the two first conveyor lines 1 are located on the side of the two second conveyor lines 2 away from the support module 3. With this arrangement, the first conveyor lines 1 and the second conveyor lines 2 can operate selectively, that is, the transmission cost can be selectively reduced, and when one of the first conveyor lines 1 and the second conveyor line 2 is repaired in the conveying section, the use of the other conveyor line is not affected, that is, the normal conveying efficiency is not affected. Furthermore, it makes the conveying of the mover 4 more stable.

[0074] It is understandable that the support module 3 can also be located only on the left, right, or both sides of the second conveyor line 2. For example, when there is only one second conveyor line 2, the support module 3 can be located only on the left, right, or both sides of that second conveyor line 2. When there are multiple second conveyor lines 2, taking two second conveyor lines 2 as an example, the two second conveyor lines 2 can be arranged along the first direction ff, and the support module 3 can be located between the two second conveyor lines 2. This arrangement can make the conveying of the mover 4 more stable and increase the load.

[0075] It should be noted that when there are multiple first conveyor lines 1, and the support module 3 is located on at least one of the front, rear, left, and right sides of the first conveyor line 1 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, it can be understood that the support module 3 is located on at least one of the front, rear, left, and right sides of at least one first conveyor line 1 (e.g., one of them) along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. Similarly, when there are multiple second conveyor lines 2, and the support module 3 is located on at least one of the front, rear, left, and right sides of the second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, it can be understood that the support module 3 is located on at least one of the front, rear, left, and right sides of at least one (e.g., one of them) second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4.

[0076] The support module 3 includes a support member 31 disposed along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. The mover 4 is located on and supported by the support member 31. During the conveying of the mover 4, the friction between the mover 4 and the support member 31 is rolling friction, and the coefficient of friction of the rolling friction is μ, 0.05≤μ≤0.12. For example, the support member 31 can be a roller or a drum, and correspondingly, the friction between the support member 31 and the mover 4 is rolling friction. Alternatively, the friction between the mover and the support member is static friction. For example, the support member 31 can be a conveyor belt, and correspondingly, the friction between the support member 31 and the mover 4 is static friction. It is understood that the structure for achieving rolling friction or static friction is not limited, as long as the rolling friction or static friction during the conveying of the mover 4 by the linear stator 11 or the second conveyor line 2 allows the support module 3 to support the mover 4 without affecting the movement of the mover 4 along the conveying direction.

[0077] Based on the above description, in the hybrid conveyor line, the first conveyor line 1 is a high-cost magnetic drive conveyor line, while the second conveyor line 2 is at least one of a relatively low-cost plate chain line, conveyor belt line, or roller line. Therefore, the hybrid conveyor line has a low cost. Thus, in scenarios with high process requirements, high conveying accuracy, and high flexibility requirements, the high-cost first conveyor line 1 is used, while in scenarios with low process requirements, low conveying accuracy, and no flexibility requirements, the low-cost second conveyor line 2 is used. Furthermore, by combining high-cost and low-cost conveyor lines, the hybrid conveyor line achieves a lower cost compared to a conveyor line that only uses high-cost conveyor lines (such as magnetic drive conveyor lines). Furthermore, since the support module 3 is arranged along the conveying direction of the mover 4, and during the conveying process of the mover 4, the mover 4 and the support member 31 experience rolling friction or static friction, on the one hand, the mover 4 can be placed directly on the support member 31. For example, no fixed structure is needed between the mover 4 and the support member 31, and the mover 4 can be picked up and put down without unlocking or locking, which is convenient. On the other hand, through the supporting effect of the support member 31, the mover 4 can be conveyed stably, for example, it is not easy to tip over. Moreover, during the rolling friction between the mover 4 and the support member 31, since 0.05≤μ≤0.12, the energy loss of the mixed conveying line can be reduced, and the mover 4 is not easy to slip during the movement, which also makes it convenient to pick up and put down the mover 4.

[0078] When the first conveyor line 1 is a single linear stator 11, meaning it comprises only one linear stator 11, the first conveyor line 1 includes a linear stator 11 that is continuous in the first direction ff and extends along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. For example... Figures 1 to 4 ,as well as Figures 6 to 14 As shown.

[0079] When there are multiple first conveyor lines 1, that is, when the first conveyor line 1 includes multiple linear stators 11, the first conveyor line 1 may include multiple linear stators 11 spaced apart in the first direction ff. The multiple linear stators 11 can be arranged in parallel at intervals. For example... Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the first conveyor line 1 includes two linear stators 11. These two linear stators 11 can be arranged in parallel and spaced apart. Each linear stator 11 is provided with a coil. The coils in the spaced-apart linear stators 11 are coupled to the permanent magnet array in the mover 4 to drive the mover 4 to move.

[0080] When there are multiple second conveyor lines 2, the second conveyor lines 2 may include multiple second conveyor lines 2 spaced apart in the first direction ff. The multiple second conveyor lines 2 can be arranged in parallel at intervals. For example... Figure 2 , Figures 6 to 8 as well as Figure 15The example shown is two second conveyor lines 2 spaced apart in the first direction ff. These two second conveyor lines 2 can be arranged in parallel at intervals. Figure 2 Taking a roller conveyor line 2 as an example, a support plate 20 can be provided between two spaced-apart second conveyor lines 2, with the two second conveyor lines 2 mounted on both sides of the support plate 20. Correspondingly, the second conveyor line 2 also includes mounting brackets 22 located on opposite sides in the first direction ff, and the rollers included in each second conveyor line 2 are mounted via the mounting brackets 22 and the support plate 20. A similar arrangement can be used when the second conveyor line is a plate chain line or a conveyor belt line, which will not be elaborated here.

[0081] When there is only one second conveyor line 2, the second conveyor line 2 may consist of only one continuous and uninterrupted conveyor line in the first direction ff, for example, in Figure 2 The second conveyor line 2 shown does not have a support plate 20 in the middle, and the rollers 21 included in the second conveyor line 2 are continuous in the first direction ff. Taking the second conveyor line 2 as an example, the second conveyor line 2 is filled with rollers in the conveying direction F of the mover 4.

[0082] It is understandable that the positional relationship between the linear stator 11 and the second conveyor line 2 is not limited to... Figure 2 , Figures 6 to 16 The positional relationship shown is sufficient to transport the moving part 4.

[0083] Of course, the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 also include power units, control systems, etc. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the second conveyor line 2 also includes a drive motor 23. The drive motor 23 can be used to drive the roller 21 to rotate, thereby driving the mover 4 located on the roller 21 to move along the conveying direction F.

[0084] In some embodiments, the support module 3 includes a plurality of support members 31 arranged along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, such as... Figure 2 , Figures 6 to 16 The roller is shown. Depending on the structure of the support module 3, in some embodiments, there may be only one support member 31, such as a conveyor belt. Distribution along the conveying direction of the mover refers to its placement at locations where support for the mover 4 is needed, and is not limited to... Figure 2 , Figures 6 to 16 Support modules 3 are provided on opposite sides of the intermediate linear stator 11 and the second conveyor line 2.

[0085] When there is only one set of support modules 3, the set of support modules 3 can be located in front of or behind at least one of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. When both the second conveyor line 2 and the first conveyor line 1 are arranged along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, the set of support modules 3 can be located between the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2, or in front of or behind both. Here, we will take the example of the second conveyor line 2 being located behind the first conveyor line 1 along the conveying direction F of the mover for illustration. Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, a set of support modules 3 are located behind both the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction of the mover 4. Figure 13 As shown, in some other embodiments, a set of support modules 3 are located in front of both the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2. Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, a set of support modules 3 is located in front of the second conveyor line 2 and behind the first conveyor line 1. This arrangement adds a support section in the transmission direction F of the mover 4, increasing the length of the conveyor line for conveying materials.

[0086] Combination Figures 12 to 14 As shown, the width d3 of the support member 31 can be approximately equal to the width d1 of the first conveyor line 1 and the width d2 of the second conveyor line 2, and the support module 3, the first conveyor line 1, and the second conveyor line 2 can be arranged on the same straight line along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. This arrangement allows the mover 4 to be conveyed smoothly in the conveying direction F.

[0087] When the second conveyor line 2 is located on at least one side of the left and right sides of the first conveyor line 1 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, a set of support modules 3 can be located on the front or rear side of the first conveyor line 1 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, or on the front or rear side of the second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4.

[0088] Furthermore, when there is only one set of support modules, the set of support modules 3 can be located on the left or right side of the first conveyor line 1 and / or the second conveyor line 2.

[0089] In some embodiments, a set of support modules 3 may be located between the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2. This arrangement allows for increased support for the mover 4 during the conveying process in the corresponding conveying sections of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2, thereby increasing the load capacity.

[0090] like Figure 15As shown, when the first conveyor line 1 includes two sets of linear stators 11 and there are two second conveyor lines 2, the support module 3 is located between the two sets of linear stators 11 and between the two sets of second conveyor lines 2. In this embodiment, the length of the portion of the support module 3 located between the two sets of second conveyor lines 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4 can be equal to or approximately equal to the length of the second conveyor line 2. The length of the portion of the support module 3 located between the two sets of linear stators 11 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4 can be equal to or approximately equal to the length of the linear stators 11. This arrangement allows the mover 4 to receive increased support and improve load capacity during the conveying process in the corresponding conveying sections of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2. Figure 15 In the embodiment shown, the two sets of linear stators 11 and the two second conveyor lines 2 are located on both sides of the support module 3 corresponding to their respective conveying sections, which can also improve the stability of the mover 4 drive.

[0091] When the first conveyor line 1 includes multiple sets of linear stators 11, a set of support modules 3 can be located between two adjacent linear stators 11. This arrangement allows the mover 4 to receive increased support in each conveying section of the first conveyor line 1, thereby increasing the load capacity.

[0092] like Figure 16 As shown, Figure 16 An exemplary embodiment shows that when the first conveyor line 1 includes two sets of linear stators 11, the support module 3 is located only between the two sets of linear stators 11. This arrangement allows the mover 4 to receive increased support in the corresponding conveying section of the first conveyor line 1, thereby increasing the load. Furthermore, the fact that the two sets of linear stators 11 are located on both sides of the support module 3 also enhances the stability of the mover 4 drive.

[0093] Understandably, when there are multiple second conveyor lines 2, a set of support modules 3 can be located between two adjacent second conveyor lines 2. This arrangement allows the mover 4 to receive increased support in each conveying section corresponding to the second conveyor line 2, thus increasing the load capacity. For example, when there are two second conveyor lines 2, a set of support modules 3 is located only between the two second conveyor lines 2. This arrangement also allows the mover 4 to receive increased support in each conveying section corresponding to the second conveyor line 2, increasing the load capacity, and since the second conveyor lines 2 are located on both sides of the support modules 3, the stability of the mover 4 drive is also improved.

[0094] It should be noted that, Figure 15 and Figure 16The first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 shown are arranged along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. It is understood that when the second conveyor line 2 is located on at least one side of the first conveyor line 1, a set of support modules can be located between the second conveyor line 2 and the first conveyor line 1, or at other desired locations. For example, if the second conveyor line 2 is located to the left or right of the first conveyor line 1, a set of support modules can be located between the second conveyor line 2 and the first conveyor line 1, or on the side of the first conveyor line 1 away from the second conveyor line 2, or on the side of the second conveyor line 2 away from the first conveyor line 1. Furthermore, if the second conveyor line 2 is located on both sides of the first conveyor line 1, a set of support modules can be located between one of the second conveyor line 2 and the first conveyor line 1; this application does not limit this arrangement.

[0095] When there are multiple sets of support modules 3, each support module 3 is located on at least one side of the first conveyor line 1 and / or the second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, including the front, rear, left, and right sides. It is understood that when there are multiple sets of support modules 3, these multiple sets of support modules 3 can be arranged at intervals along the first direction ff. Of course, multiple sets of support modules can also be arranged along the conveying direction F of the mover 4; the specific arrangement position of the support modules is not limited and can be set as needed.

[0096] The multiple support modules 3 can be located on the left and right sides of the first conveyor line 1 and / or the second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, providing a more balanced support force for the mover 4, enabling the mover 4 to move more stably. It is understood that when the multiple support modules 3 are arranged in different directions on the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2, the multiple support modules 3 can be set on the left and right sides of the corresponding first conveyor line 1 and second conveyor line 2 as needed, or only on the left and right sides of one of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2.

[0097] In this configuration, when the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are arranged along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, and multiple sets of support modules are located on the left and right sides of only one of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2, the conveying section corresponding to the support module 3 can provide a more balanced support force for the mover 4, enabling the mover 4 to move more stably. For example... Figure 11 As shown, for example, multiple sets of support modules 3 are divided into two groups, and these two sets of support modules 3 are only located on the left and right sides of the first conveyor line 1. This arrangement can make the movement of the mover 4 more stable.

[0098] In the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2, arranged along the first direction ff, multiple sets of support modules are located on the left and right sides of only one of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2. This arrangement can selectively reduce conveying costs and allow the mover 4 to move more stably. For example... Figure 7As shown, when multiple sets of support modules 3 are exemplarily divided into two groups, the two sets of support modules 3 can be located only on the left and right sides of the first conveyor line 1 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. With this configuration, the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 can be selected to convey the mover 4, making the conveying of the mover 4 more stable.

[0099] When the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are arranged along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, and the support module 3 is located on the left and right sides of both the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, the stability of the support can be increased.

[0100] for example Figure 1 and Figure 2 as well as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are arranged along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. The support module 3 is located on the left and right sides of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, so that the force on the mover 4 is even, it is not easy to tip over, and the conveying is more stable. Compared with Figure 9 When the corresponding parts of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 of the support module 3 located on the same side are spaced apart, Figure 10 The support modules 3 shown are connected on the same side, making the transport of the mover more stable.

[0101] When the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are arranged along the first direction ff, and the support module 3 is located on the left and right sides of both the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, cost can be reduced and the stability of the support can be increased. For example... Figure 8 As shown, the support module 3 is exemplarily represented as two sets, with the two sets of support modules located on both sides of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2.

[0102] When there are multiple sets of support modules 3, the support modules 3 can also be located in front of or behind the first conveyor line 1 and / or the second conveyor line 2. This arrangement helps to increase the length of the conveying section. For example, similar to... Figure 12 As shown in the arrangement, multiple sets of support modules 3 can all be located behind both the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2. Figure 12 The difference shown is that, Figure 12 The location of support module 3 shown includes multiple sets of support modules 3. For example, similar to... Figure 13 As shown in the arrangement, multiple sets of support modules 3 can all be located in front of both the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2. For example, similar to... Figure 14As shown, multiple sets of support modules 3 can all be located on the rear side of the first conveyor line 1 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, and on the front side of the second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. Of course, some sets of support modules can be located between the first and second conveyor lines, while others are located on the side of the first conveyor line away from the second conveyor line; or some sets of support modules can be located between the first and second conveyor lines, while others are located on the side of the second conveyor line away from the first conveyor line; or some sets of support modules can be located between the first and second conveyor lines, while others are located on the side of the first conveyor line away from the second conveyor line, and the remaining support modules are located on the side of the second conveyor line away from the first conveyor line.

[0103] It should be noted that the hybrid conveyor line includes mounting components for setting up support modules, such as mounting plates or mounting strips 32 extending along the conveying direction of the mover 4 as shown in the attached diagram. When the support modules 3 are located on at least one of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 on the left and right sides along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, the support members 31 of each set of support modules 3 can be mounted by two opposing mounting strips 321 and 322. The mounting strip 322 is located outside the mounting strip 321. The height of the mounting strip 322 can be higher than that of the mounting strip 321, so as to limit the mover 4 on both sides of the conveying direction F in the corresponding conveying sections of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2, thus guiding the mover 4.

[0104] It should be noted that the support module 3 of this application is not at the same height as the first conveyor line 1, and the support module 3 is not at the same height as the second conveyor line. When the mover 4 is running on the support module 3, the normal operation of other modules or lines will not be affected when one of them is disassembled or installed separately.

[0105] It should be noted that, as Figure 2 As shown, when the support module 3 is located on the left and right sides of at least one of the linear stator 11 and the second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, the support module 3 can be symmetrically arranged relative to the corresponding linear stator 11 or the second conveyor line 2. Figure 7 As shown, in the case where each second conveyor line 2 is located outside the support module 3, or, as... Figure 8 As shown, with each second conveyor line 2 located inside the support module 3, the support module 3 and the second conveyor line 2 are symmetrical with respect to the linear stator 11. Wherein, Figure 7 The diagram shows that the side where arrow M is located is the outer side of support module 3. Figure 8The side where the middle arrow N is located is the inner side of the support module 3. With this arrangement, by symmetrically setting the support modules 3, the support modules 3 can support the opposite sides of the mover 4, so that the mover 4 is subjected to uniform force, is not easy to tip over, and the conveying is more stable.

[0106] It should be noted that when a support module 3 is provided on at least one side of the first conveyor line 1, the mover 4 can be suspended relative to the linear stator 11, but the mover 4 is still supported by the support module 3.

[0107] As described above, the mover 4 is suspended relative to the linear stator 11 and supported by the support module 3. This makes it easier for the mover 4 to move along the transport direction of the mover and reduces energy loss.

[0108] In some implementations, the linear stator 11 has a uniform width along the first direction ff. For example, combined with... Figure 2 As shown, the width of the linear stator 11 remains unchanged along the transmission direction of the mover 4. This configuration, with the linear stator 11 having a uniform width, not only improves space utilization but also ensures that the mover 4 experiences uniform force during transmission, making it less prone to speed fluctuations and resulting in smoother transmission.

[0109] In some embodiments, the second conveyor line 2 has the same width along the first direction ff. For example, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the width of the second conveyor line 2 remains constant along the transmission direction of the mover 4. This arrangement, with the second conveyor line 2 having a uniform width, not only improves space utilization but also ensures that the mover 4 experiences uniform force during transmission, making it less prone to speed fluctuations and resulting in smoother transmission.

[0110] Combination Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, when the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are arranged along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, and multiple sets of support modules 3 are located on the left and right sides of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, the support modules 3 located on both sides of the first conveyor line 1 and the support modules 3 located on both sides of the second conveyor line 2 are misaligned in the first direction ff, so that the mixed conveyor line can adapt to movers 4 of different widths (i.e., dimensions along the first direction ff during conveying).

[0111] In this embodiment, the mounting strip 32 located on the same side of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 is offset in the first direction ff.

[0112] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first conveyor line 1 has a set of support modules 3 on each of its left and right sides, and the second conveyor line 2 has a set of support modules 3 on each of its left and right sides. Figure 4As shown, for ease of distinction, the support modules 3 located on the left and right sides of the first conveyor line 1 are referred to as support modules 301, and the support modules 3 located on the left and right sides of the second conveyor line 2 are referred to as support modules 302. The support modules 301 and 302 located on the same side of the first and second conveyor lines 1 and 2 are staggered in the first direction ff, meaning their extension directions are not in a straight line. Correspondingly, the mounting strips 321 used to install the support modules 301 and 302 located on the same side of the first and second conveyor lines 1 and 2 are staggered in the first direction ff, and the mounting strips 322 used to install the support modules 301 and 302 located on the same side of the first and second conveyor lines 1 and 2 are also staggered in the first direction ff.

[0113] like Figure 2 As shown, the distance D1 between the support modules 3 located on both sides of the second conveyor line 2 is greater than the distance D between the support modules 3 located on both sides of the first conveyor line 1, so that the conveying section where the second conveyor line 2 is located can accommodate movers 4 of different widths.

[0114] Combination Figure 9 As shown, the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are arranged along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. Multiple sets of support modules 3 are located on the left and right sides of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. The support modules 3 on both sides of the first conveyor line 1 are aligned with the support modules 3 on both sides of the second conveyor line 2. This arrangement ensures that the mover 4 is subjected to uniform force during the conveying process, making it less prone to tipping over.

[0115] Figure 9 As shown, the first conveyor line 1 has a set of support modules 3 on each of its left and right sides, and the second conveyor line 2 has a set of support modules 3 on each of its left and right sides. Figure 9 As shown, for ease of distinction, the support modules 3 located on the left and right sides of the first conveyor line 1 are taken as support modules 301, and the support modules 3 located on the left and right sides of the second conveyor line 2 are taken as support modules 302. The support modules 301 and 302 located on the same side of the first and second conveyor lines 1 and 2 are aligned accordingly. That is, the extending directions of the support modules 301 and 302 located on the same side of the first and second conveyor lines 1 and 2 are in a straight line, or at least the opposing ends of the relatively aligned support modules 301 and 302 are in a straight line along the conveying direction of the mover 4. Accordingly, as... Figure 9In the illustrated embodiment, the mounting strips 32 located on the same side of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are aligned in the first direction ff. Specifically, the mounting strip 321 located on the first conveyor line 1 for mounting the support module 301 and the mounting strip 321 located on the same side of the second conveyor line 2 for mounting the support module 302 may be aligned in a straight line along the conveying direction of the mover 4. Alternatively, at least the opposing ends of two relatively aligned mounting strips 321 may be aligned in a straight line along the conveying direction of the mover 4. Similarly, the mounting strip 322 located on the first conveyor line 1 for mounting the support module 301 and the mounting strip 322 located on the same side of the second conveyor line 2 for mounting the support module 302 may be aligned in a straight line along the conveying direction of the mover 4. Alternatively, at least the opposing ends of two relatively aligned mounting strips 322 may be aligned in a straight line along the conveying direction of the mover 4.

[0116] In this embodiment, the distance D1 between the support modules 3 located on both sides of the second conveyor line 2 can be equal to the distance D between the support modules 3 located on both sides of the first conveyor line 1.

[0117] This configuration, on the one hand, limits the width of the linear stator 11 and the second conveyor line 2, which in turn limits the width of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2, thus improving space utilization; on the other hand, it ensures that the moving part 4 is subjected to uniform force during the conveying process, making it less prone to tipping over.

[0118] Combination Figure 10 As shown, the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are arranged along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. Multiple sets of support modules 3 are located on the left and right sides of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4. The support modules 3 located on the same side of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are connected. This arrangement ensures that during the movement of the mover 4, especially during the transition between the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2, the mover 4 experiences uniform force, its speed is less prone to fluctuation, it is less likely to tip over, and the conveying is more stable.

[0119] Figure 10 As shown, the first conveyor line 1 has a set of support modules 3 on its left and right sides, and the second conveyor line 2 has a set of support modules 3 on its left and right sides. The support modules 3 located on the same side of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are connected.

[0120] It is understood that in this embodiment, the mounting strips 32 located on the same side of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are connected in the first direction ff. Specifically, the mounting strip 321 located on one side of the first conveyor line 1 is connected to the mounting strip 321 located on the same side of the second conveyor line 2. The mounting strip 322 located on one side of the first conveyor line 1 is connected to the mounting strip 322 located on the same side of the second conveyor line 2.

[0121] In this embodiment, the width D of the first conveyor line 1 can be equal to the width D1 of the second conveyor line 2.

[0122] This configuration, on the one hand, limits the width of the linear stator 11 and the second conveyor line 2, which in turn limits the width of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2, thus improving space utilization; on the other hand, it ensures that the moving part 4 is subjected to uniform force during the process, especially during the transition between the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2, making it less prone to speed fluctuations and tipping over, resulting in smoother conveying.

[0123] In some embodiments, the support module 3 includes a drive member (not shown) capable of driving at least a portion of the support member 31, such that at least a portion of the support module 3 forms the second conveyor line 2.

[0124] It is understood that when the support module 3 is located on at least one side of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 in the conveying direction F of the mover 4, the drive member can drive part or all of the support member 31.

[0125] For example, when the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 are arranged along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, and multiple sets of support modules 3 are located on the left and right sides of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 along the conveying direction F of the mover 4, the support modules 3 located on at least one of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 along the left and right sides of the conveying direction F of the mover 4 form the second conveyor line.

[0126] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the drive unit can drive the support member 31 located on the side of the first conveyor line 1 in the transmission direction F of the mover 4. The method by which the drive unit drives the support member 31 is not limited. For example, although the support members 31 are spaced apart along the transmission direction of the mover in the figure, they can be connected by an accumulation chain, and a single drive unit can drive the connected support members 31. The drive module 3 includes the drive unit in two cases: a) the support members 31 on each side of the support module 3 are driven by separate drive units; b) the support members 31 on both sides of the support module 3 are driven by the same drive unit. The support module 3 serves as the second conveyor line.

[0127] As described above, the support module 3 serves as the second conveyor line 2. Besides supporting the mover 4, the second conveyor line 2 also drives and guides it. Because the first conveyor line 1 and the support module 3 have different driving methods, the conveying method of the mover 4 can be selectively changed, making it convenient to use.

[0128] In some embodiments, the drive member can also drive the support member 31 located on the side of the second conveyor line 2 in the transmission direction F of the mover 4. The method by which the drive member drives the support member 31 is not limited. With this configuration, the support module 3 is used as the second conveyor line. The second conveyor line 2, originally located in the middle of the support module 3, and the support module 3 can selectively drive one pair of movers 4, or drive the movers 4 simultaneously, thus diversifying the driving methods of the movers 4.

[0129] It is understandable that the drive unit may also drive only the support member 31 of the first conveyor line 1 on the side of the mover 4 in the transmission direction F. Alternatively, the drive unit may also drive only the support member 31 of the second conveyor line 2 on the side of the mover 4 in the transmission direction F.

[0130] In other embodiments, when the support module 3 serves as the second conveyor line 2, the hybrid conveyor line may further include other conveyor lines, which together form a third conveyor line, and utilize... Figure 2 Please provide an explanation. In this case, Figure 2 The second conveyor line 2 marked in the middle serves as the third conveyor line. In this case, the third conveyor line can be a magnetic drive conveyor line or a conventional conveyor line.

[0131] Of course, when the support module 3 is located in front of or behind the moving part 4 in the conveying direction F of at least one of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2, for example... Figures 12 to 14 As shown, in this case, the driving member can drive all the support members 31 of the support module 3 so that the mover 4 can move on the support module 3.

[0132] In some embodiments, the support 31 is one of a roller and a slat, and the mover 4 includes the other of a roller and a slat. This results in rolling friction between the mover 4 and the support 310 during transport. Rolling friction reduces energy loss in the mixing conveyor line and facilitates the handling of the mover 4. For example, because of rolling friction, the mover 4 is directly supported by the support 31 without any fixed structure between them, allowing the mover 4 to be removed without unlocking any fixing structure.

[0133] In some embodiments, the coefficient of friction for rolling friction is μ, where 0.05 ≤ μ ≤ 0.12. For example, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, 0.11, or 0.12, etc. The value of 0.05 ≤ μ ≤ 0.12 applies not only to the case where the support module only serves a supporting function, but also to the case where the support module 3 serves a supporting function and acts as a second conveyor line.

[0134] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 17The connecting module 300 includes a connecting motor 3001 and a connecting stator 3002. The connecting motor 3001 drives the connecting stator 3002 to rotate, conveying the mover 4 from the first conveying module 100 to the second conveying module 200.

[0135] Along the conveying direction of the mover, the support module 3 is also disposed on the side of the connecting module 300. For example, the support module 3 is disposed on opposite sides of the connecting module 300 along the conveying direction of the mover 4. Figure 2 and Figure 5 The diagram illustrates the support modules 3 on opposite sides of the connecting module 300 along the conveying direction of the mover. Figure 2 and Figure 5 The diagram shows that the connecting module 300 is in a straight line shape. In other embodiments, the connecting module 300 may also be in other shapes such as arc shape. However, the support module 3 may also be disposed on the side of the connecting module 300 in this shape.

[0136] As described above, since the support module 3 is also located on the side of the connecting module 300, the mover 4 is also supported during the connecting process, and can be smoothly transported from one conveyor line to another adjacent conveyor line, and then smoothly transported away by the other adjacent conveyor line.

[0137] It is understood that in some embodiments, the connection module 300 may also include a drive device, such as a drive motor, for driving the support member 31 of the support module 3 to drive the mover 4 to move on the connection module 300.

[0138] The connecting module 300 rotates to transport the moving part 4 from the first conveying module 100 to the second conveying module 200. Figure 2 and Figure 17 The diagram shows that the 300 connection module can automatically... Figure 2 Rotate along the direction of arrow R to the position shown. Figure 17 The position shown is for in Figure 2 The indicated position allows the mover to move onto the docking module 300, and... Figure 17 The moving part 4, located on the first conveying module 100 in the diagram, is conveyed to the second conveying module 200 at the indicated position. The connecting module 300 can rotate and reset in the direction of arrow r, i.e., from... Figure 17 Rotate along the direction of arrow r to the position shown. Figure 2 The position shown is used to continue rotating the 4th cell.
