[0034] Figure 4 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram showing the combination of the four-way valve belt conveyor mechanism and the four-way valve. Please refer to the diagram. Figure 4 It should be noted that, in the use of the four-way valve belt conveyor mechanism of this utility model, the four-way valve 9 is placed on the synchronous belt conveyor 1. The workpiece support plates 6 on the left and right sides of the synchronous belt conveyor 1 further prevent the four-way valve 9 from falling off the synchronous belt conveyor 1. The through-beam sensor 8 identifies the position of the four-way valve 9 and transmits the position signal to the workpiece stopper 2, which blocks the transported four-way valve 9.
[0035] The four-way valve belt conveyor mechanism of this utility model has a simple structure and low cost. The workpiece support plate is made of sheet metal bending or plastic plate to support the workpiece, which is easy to process. The main body of the conveyor is made of aluminum profile. The positions of the conveyor fixing seat, sensor position and workpiece stop position used with it can be placed arbitrarily, and the number can be increased or decreased as needed.

The head roller fixing mechanism 17 is connected to both ends of the belt conveyor profile 16. The synchronous belt 14 is sleeved on the belt conveyor profile 16 and the head roller fixing mechanism 17. The motor fixing plate 15 is connected to the side of the belt conveyor profile 16, and the motor 11 is fixed on the motor fixing plate 15.

The drive synchronous pulley 12 is pressed against the inner surface of the synchronous belt 14, and the tension pulleys 13 are pressed against the outer surface of the synchronous belt 14.
[0037] It should be noted that, driven by the motor 11, the active synchronous pulley 12 rotates, which in turn drives the synchronous belt 14 to rotate around the head roller fixing mechanism 17, thereby transporting the four-way valve 9 above the synchronous belt 14.
[0038] Furthermore, the conveyor mounting base 3 of this utility model is composed of two L-shaped brackets, the upper ends of the two L-shaped brackets are respectively connected to both sides of the belt conveyor profile 16; the bottom support plate 4 is connected to the side of the belt conveyor profile 16.

[0040] It should be noted that when a stop is required, the stop cylinder 24 extends, thereby driving the stop plate 25 to rotate and press down around the end of the vertical plate 22, thus achieving the stop of the four-way valve 9.
[0041] Specifically, the present invention provides a groove 18 on the side of the belt conveyor profile 16 and a slider 26 at the end of the sliding fixed base plate 21, the slider 26 being slidably connected in the groove 18.
