[0059] Please refer to the following at the same time Figure 1 , 2 , Figure 1 This is a perspective view of a block shaping and pushing device 100 and a block conveying device 200 according to some embodiments of the present invention. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A side view of the block shaping and pushing device 100. The block conveying device 200 is used to transport blocks 150 to the block shaping and pushing device 100 via its rising pipe 210. The block shaping and pushing device 100 includes an auxiliary circuit board 110 and includes a block tower shaping module 120, a block pushing module 140, and a block pusher module 130 disposed on the auxiliary circuit board 110. The block pushing module 140 is used to push blocks 150 or a tower of stacked blocks 150 along direction D1. The block pusher module 130 is used to push the block tower located at the center of the auxiliary circuit board 110 along direction D2. The block pusher module 130 includes a pushing motor 132 and a pushing arm 134 to perform the above functions.

[0060] The auxiliary circuit board 110 has a discharge port 110a, which is located next to the shaping linkage push plate assembly 124 of the block tower shaping module 120. The top end of the riser pipe 210 of the block conveying device 200 is connected to the discharge port 110a to convey the block 150 onto the auxiliary circuit board 110.

[0061] In some embodiments of this utility model, the block tower shaping module 120 includes a shaping motor 122 and a shaping linkage push plate assembly 124. The shaping motor 122 is used to drive the shaping linkage push plate assembly 124 to switch between two different states.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 2 , 3 , Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A perspective view of the block pushing module 140. In some embodiments of this utility model, the block pushing module 140 includes a pushing motor 144, a drive belt 145, and a block pusher plate 141. The rotating shaft 144a of the pushing motor 144 is connected to the drive belt 145 to drive the drive belt 145. The block pusher plate 141 is fixed on the drive belt 145. Therefore, the pushing motor 144 controls the position of the block pusher plate 141 by driving the drive belt 145.

[0063] In some embodiments of this utility model, the block pushing module 140 further includes a first position sensor 142a, a second position sensor 142b, and a third position sensor 142c. The second position sensor 142b is farther away from the push motor 144 than the first position sensor 142a. The third position sensor 142c is farther away from the push motor 144 than both the second position sensor 142b and the first position sensor 142a. The first position sensor 142a, the second position sensor 142b, and the third position sensor 142c are used to detect the position of the block pusher plate 141. Specifically, the block pusher plate 141 has a top plate 141b and a bottom corner 141a. The first position sensor 142a, the second position sensor 142b, and the third position sensor 142c are used to detect the bottom corner 141a of the block pusher plate 141, thereby controlling the position of the block pusher plate 141. The top plate 141b of the block pusher plate 141 is used to abut against the block 150. In some embodiments of this invention, the distance W between the first position sensor 142a and the second position sensor 142b is equal to the width of the block 150, such that when the block pusher plate 141 moves a distance W along direction D1 from the first position sensor 142a to the second position sensor 142b, the next block output from the discharge port 110a is exactly adjacent to the pushed block. In some embodiments of this invention, the top plate 141b of the block pusher plate 141 has an L-shaped profile, which facilitates contact with the two side walls of the block. In some embodiments of this invention, the first position sensor 142a is the origin position. After the discharge port 110a outputs a specified number of blocks, the block pusher plate 141 moves to the second position sensor 142b. After completing the specified block tower shape, the block pusher plate 141 moves to the third position sensor 142c to complete the tower exit.

[0064] Please refer to the following at the same time Figures 1-3The position of the third position sensor 142c is aligned with the block pusher module 130. In other words, when the block pusher 141 slides to the position of the third position sensor 142c, the block pusher 141 pushes the block tower next to the block pusher module 130. The block pusher module 130 can also push the block tower along direction D2 to make room for the next block tower. The auxiliary circuit board 110 has a groove 110b, through which the block pusher 141 is connected to the drive belt 145. The groove 110b extends along direction D2, and the pusher motor 144 controls the block pusher 141 to move along the groove 110b via the drive belt 145.

[0065] Please refer to the following at the same time Figure 4A , 4B , it is Figure 2 The images show two different perspective views of the block tower shaping module 120. The block tower shaping module 120 includes a shaping motor 122, a gear set 123, a shaping linkage push plate assembly 124, a drive disk 126, a drive arm 127, and a sensor 128. The shaping motor 122 transmits rotational power to the drive disk 126 via the gear set 123. The sensor 128 detects the protrusion 126a of the drive disk 126. The first end 127b of the drive arm 127 is connected to the shaping linkage push plate assembly 124, and the second end 127a of the drive arm 127 is connected to the drive disk 126. Therefore, the shaping action is completed when the drive disk 126 rotates one revolution. When the protrusion 126a of the drive disk 126 returns to the position of the sensor 128, the shaping motor 122 stops operating.
