Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of material transfer, and in particular to a material transfer device and the insert plate material transfer system formed therefrom. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, pallet trucks are the core method for material handling in factories. In practice, factories use manual forklifts or automated forklifts with laser navigation for material transfer. In actual operation, pallets are placed on the forklift, and stacked or single materials are placed on the pallets. The forklift then transfers the pallets and materials together to the conveyor line for further processing.

[0003] For continuous production, the plates and materials need to be buffered and run on the conveyor line at a certain height to provide sufficient space for the conveyor line to be installed and to achieve continuous buffering and transfer. In practice, the height of the conveyor line needs to be at least 200mm above the ground; if the height of the conveyor line is too low, the structure of the conveyor line will be compressed, and it will not be able to perform a complete conveying and transfer function.

[0004] Existing manual forklifts and some automated forklifts have a lifting height of only 100mm, which is insufficient for loading materials onto the conveyor line. To address this issue, in practice, the conveyor line area is lowered below the ground level, ensuring that the surface of the conveyor line does not exceed 100mm of the ground surface. This preserves the volume of the conveyor line and allows forklifts to directly load materials onto it. However, this sunken conveyor line design places higher demands on the installation site and complicates the installation process, increasing costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the problems existing in related technologies, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide a material conveying device that can achieve low-level feeding and high-level transition. While ensuring that the first conveyor line is at a relatively high position, it can still feed materials at a low level, reduce feeding energy consumption, and improve the level of automated feeding of the first conveyor line. This avoids the defect in the prior art where the first conveyor line needs to be lowered due to the limited lifting capacity of the forklift.

[0006] A material transfer device includes a transfer component and a first transfer line, wherein the transfer component is located outside the starting end of the first transfer line;

[0007] The transmission component includes:

[0008] A second transmission line, wherein the transmission direction of the second transmission line is the same as that of the first transmission line;

[0009] A lifting assembly connecting a second transmission line, the lifting assembly being able to drive the second transmission line to move up and down between a first height and a second height; the second height being higher than the first height.

[0010] A blocking section located between the first transmission line and the second transmission line, the blocking section being used to intercept material at a first height.

[0011] The structural design of this application is intended to achieve low-level feeding and high-level transition. While ensuring that the first transmission line is at a relatively high position, it can still feed materials at a low level, reduce feeding energy consumption, and improve the level of automated feeding of the first transmission line. This avoids the defect in the prior art where the first transmission line needs to be lowered due to the limited lifting capacity of the forklift.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the transmission component further includes a transmission frame, the second transmission line and the lifting component are located inside the transmission frame, and the blocking portion is located on the side of the transmission frame near the first transmission line.

[0013] Using a transmission frame as the carrier for the transmission components ensures the uniformity and integrity of the components, as well as ease of installation and relocation. In practice, the transmission components can be assembled at a location away from the first transmission line and then moved to the starting point of the first transmission line. When transferring materials to different first transmission lines, the transmission components can be docked to different locations by moving the transmission frame, thus improving the applicability and ease of operation of the transmission components.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the second transmission line includes a transmission plate, which is inclined downwards in the direction from the transmission plate to the first transmission line.

[0015] The downward-sloping conveyor plate allows materials to move along it, with the plate tilted downwards towards the first conveyor line. This means the height of the end of the conveyor plate furthest from the first conveyor line is greater than the height of the end closest to it. Consequently, the material placed on the conveyor plate moves towards the first conveyor line under gravity, and simultaneously descends during this movement. The lifting component in this application elevates the descended material, bringing it flush with the conveying surface of the first conveyor line. This inclined conveyor plate design enables automatic material transfer using gravity, eliminating the need for additional drive components, avoiding extra power consumption, and improving the automation level of material transfer.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a flow strip is provided in the transmission plate, and the flow strip is inclined downward in the direction from the transmission plate to the first transmission line.

[0017] To ensure smooth material movement along the downward-sloping conveyor plate, this application incorporates flow bars within the conveyor plate, and may also include similar conveyor rollers, which are unpowered yet rotatable. The flow bars or conveyor rollers are sequentially arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor plate, from the second conveyor line to the first conveyor line. Under gravity, the material slides along the flow bars or conveyor rollers to the blocking section, near the first conveyor line. To prevent material from sliding off the second conveyor line, the blocking section prevents material from sliding to the end of the second conveyor line. The lifting assembly simultaneously lifts the conveyor plate and the material above it to a position slightly above the conveying surface of the first conveyor line. At this point, the blocking section is below the conveyor plate and no longer obstructs the material. Under gravity, the material continues to be conveyed downwards along the inclined conveyor plate until it falls at the beginning of the first conveyor line. Incorporating flow bars or conveyor rollers reduces friction between the material and the conveyor plate, ensuring smooth material movement without requiring additional conveyor drive force, and improving the automation level of material handling.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the transmission plate is fixed within the transmission frame via a connecting plate, and a slide rail is provided within the transmission frame, with the transmission plate slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0019] To ensure the stable lifting and lowering of the transmission plate along the transmission frame, this application can install a vertical slide rail within the transmission frame. The transmission plate is slidably connected to the slide rail, and the lifting component drives the transmission plate to rise and fall within the slide rail. Installing the slide rail reduces the friction during the lifting and lowering of the transmission plate, thus reducing the energy consumption of the lifting component.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the transmission plate is fixed within the transmission frame via a connecting plate, and a guide shaft is provided within the transmission frame, with the transmission plate slidably connected to the guide shaft.

[0021] The guide shaft can be set to two or more, with multiple guide shafts arranged vertically in parallel. The transmission plate is slidably connected to the guide shaft. When the lifting component drives the transmission plate to rise and fall, since the transmission plate passes through the guide shaft, the guide shaft can provide guidance for the rising and falling movement of the transmission plate, avoiding tilting of the transmission plate during the rising and falling process, which would affect the tilt of the transmission plate and the transmission effect.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the lifting assembly includes a lifting drive and a floating joint, wherein the lifting drive is connected to the transmission plate via the floating joint.

[0023] The lifting drive can be a motor or a cylinder, etc. The output end of the lifting drive is connected to the transmission plate through a floating joint. When the lifting drive drives the transmission plate to rise and fall, the floating joint can reduce the positional deviation of the transmission plate and buffer the rise and fall of the transmission plate to avoid large shaking of the transmission plate, which could cause materials to fall or become disordered.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a detection sensor is provided on the side of the second transmission line near the blocking part.

[0025] The detection sensor serves two purposes. First, it detects whether material on the conveyor plate has fallen into the first conveyor line. When the sensor detects material falling onto the first conveyor line, the lifting drive lowers the conveyor plate to its initial position. Second, it detects whether material has reached the blocking position. When the sensor detects material contacting the blocking part, the lifting assembly raises both the material and the conveyor plate. By using the detection sensor, the timing of the lifting and lowering of the lifting assembly can be precisely monitored, improving material transfer efficiency.

[0026] The second objective of this application is to provide a plate material conveying system, including a material conveying device and a lifting and feeding device as described above, wherein the lifting and feeding device is located on the side of the conveying assembly away from the first conveying line.

[0027] The second transmission line is fed at a low position by a lifting and feeding device, and then the second transmission line is fed to the first transmission line at a high position by a lifting component. This avoids the defect of the first transmission line sinking design caused by the lifting height limitation of the forklift in the existing technology, and reduces the installation cost of the first transmission line.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0029] In this application, the transmission component is located outside the starting end of the first transmission line and is used to transmit materials to the starting end of the first transmission line to achieve automatic feeding of the first transmission line. The transmission component includes a second transmission line, a lifting component, and a blocking part. The direction of the second transmission line is the same as the transmission direction of the first transmission line to ensure that the materials on the second transmission line can be transmitted into the first transmission line. The lifting component can drive the second transmission line to move up and down between a first height and a second height. The second height is higher than the first height. The blocking part is used to intercept materials at the first height. In this way, the materials can be placed on the second transmission line at a lower height for transmission, saving energy consumption when placing materials. When the materials move with the second transmission line to the blocking part, the blocking part intercepts the materials at a low position. Then, the lifting component lifts the second transmission line and the materials to the same height as the first transmission line, so that the materials on the second transmission line automatically enter the first transmission line. The structural design of this application is intended to achieve low-level feeding and high-level transition. While ensuring that the first transmission line is at a relatively high position, it can still feed materials at a low level, reduce feeding energy consumption, and improve the level of automated feeding of the first transmission line. This avoids the defect in the prior art where the first transmission line needs to be lowered due to the limited lifting capacity of the forklift.

[0030] The material conveying system disclosed in this application realizes low-level material feeding of the second conveyor line through a lifting and feeding device, and then realizes automatic material feeding of the first conveyor line from the second conveyor line at a high level through a lifting component. This avoids the defect of the first conveyor line sinking design caused by the lifting height limitation of the forklift in the prior art, and reduces the installation cost of the first conveyor line.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the material transfer device provided in this application includes a transfer component and a first transfer line 11. The transfer component is located outside the starting end of the first transfer line 11 and is used to receive forklift loading at a low position and transfer the material to the first transfer line 11 at a high position.

[0044] The transmission component includes:

[0045] The second transmission line has the same transmission direction as the first transmission line 11.

[0046] A lifting assembly connecting a second transmission line, the lifting assembly being able to drive the second transmission line to move up and down between a first height and a second height; the second height being higher than the first height.

[0047] The blocking part 13, located between the first transmission line 11 and the second transmission line, is used to intercept materials at a first height.

[0048] The purpose of this application in setting up the transmission component is to achieve low-level loading and high-level transmission by means of a lifting component that can be raised and lowered; specifically, low-level loading refers to loading within the height range that the forklift can lift; high-level transmission refers to lifting the material in the second transmission line to the same height as the first transmission line 11 for transitional transmission.

[0049] The first transmission line 11 of this application has a certain height. In order to avoid the high lifting energy consumption required when directly feeding the first transmission line 11, this application sets up a transmission component to perform low-level feeding and high-level transition transmission, which can reduce the lifting energy consumption of feeding and also realize the automatic transmission of the first transmission line 11.

[0050] In actual operation, the height of the first transmission line 11 needs to be at least 200mm above the ground; if the height of the first transmission line 11 is too low, its structure will be compressed, and it will not be able to perform a complete conveying and transfer function. The lifting mechanism used for loading is a forklift, and the lifting height of manual forklifts and some automatic forklifts is about 100mm. Therefore, a transmission component is needed to achieve low-level loading and high-level feeding of the first transmission line 11.

[0051] In this application, the blocking part 13 serves to limit the material on the second transmission line before it is lifted. Before the lifting assembly lifts the second transmission line, the height of the second transmission line is less than the height of the first transmission line 11. Therefore, the blocking part 13 is needed to limit and block the material in the second transmission line. When the material in the second transmission line comes into contact with the blocking part 13, it indicates that the material has been properly conveyed. At this time, the lifting assembly raises the material to a height that can cross the blocking part 13 and is the same as the conveying height of the first transmission line 11, so that the material in the second transmission line is conveyed to the starting end of the first transmission line 11.

[0052] In this application, the second transmission line can be any transmission device that enables materials to move toward the first transmission line 11. For example, the second transmission line can be a transmission belt, a transmission roller connected to a transmission drive, or a transmission device that uses the weight of the material to slide, etc., as long as it ensures that the material on the second transmission line can move toward the first transmission line 11.

[0053] In this application, the material can be a single material, a stacked material 24, or it can simultaneously include a slide plate 23 and the material supported on the slide plate 23. When a forklift transfers the material, the slide plate 23 and the material can be transferred as a whole, thus ensuring the integrity of multiple materials.

[0054] In this application, the transmission component is located outside the starting end of the first transmission line 11 and is used to transmit materials to the starting end of the first transmission line 11 to realize automatic feeding of the first transmission line 11. The transmission component includes a second transmission line, a lifting component, and a blocking part 13. The direction of the second transmission line is the same as the transmission direction of the first transmission line 11 to ensure that the materials on the second transmission line can be transmitted into the first transmission line 11. The lifting component can drive the second transmission line to move up and down between a first height and a second height. The second height is higher than the first height. The blocking part 13 is used to intercept materials at the first height. In this way, the materials can be placed on the second transmission line at a lower height for transmission, saving energy consumption when placing materials. When the materials move with the second transmission line to the position of the blocking part 13, the lifting component lifts the second transmission line and the materials to the same height as the first transmission line 11, so that the materials on the second transmission line automatically enter the first transmission line 11. The structure of this application is designed to achieve low-level feeding and high-level transition. While ensuring that the first transmission line 11 is at a relatively high position, it can still feed materials at a low level, reduce feeding energy consumption, and improve the level of automated feeding of the first transmission line 11. This avoids the defect in the prior art where the first transmission line 11 needs to be lowered due to the limited lifting capacity of the forklift.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the material transfer device provided in this application includes a transfer component and a first transfer line 11. The transfer component is located outside the starting end of the first transfer line 11 and is used to receive forklift loading at a low position and transfer the material to the first transfer line 11 at a high position.

[0057] The transmission component includes:

[0058] The second transmission line has the same transmission direction as the first transmission line 11; in this embodiment, the second transmission line utilizes the gravity of the material to achieve automatic transmission.

[0059] A lifting assembly connecting a second transmission line, the lifting assembly being able to drive the second transmission line to move up and down between a first height and a second height; the second height being higher than the first height.

[0060] The blocking part 13 is located between the first transmission line 11 and the second transmission line. The blocking part (13) is used to intercept the material at the first height.

[0061] Furthermore, the transmission component also includes a transmission frame 12, the second transmission line and the lifting component are located inside the transmission frame 12, and the blocking part 13 is located on the side of the transmission frame 12 near the first transmission line 11.

[0062] Using the transmission frame 12 as the carrier of the transmission components ensures the uniformity and integrity of the components, as well as ease of installation and relocation. In practice, the transmission components can be assembled at a location away from the first transmission line 11 and then moved to the starting point of the first transmission line 11. When transferring materials to different first transmission lines 11, the transmission components can be connected to different locations on the first transmission line 11 by moving the transmission frame 12, thus improving the applicability and ease of operation of the transmission components.

[0063] Furthermore, the second transmission line includes a transmission plate 17, which is inclined downward in the direction from the transmission plate 17 to the first transmission line 11.

[0064] The downward-sloping conveyor plate 17 allows materials to move along it. The conveyor plate 17 is tilted downwards towards the first conveyor line 11, meaning the height of the end of the conveyor plate 17 furthest from the first conveyor line 11 is greater than the height of the end closest to the first conveyor line 11. As a result, the material placed on the conveyor plate 17 moves towards the first conveyor line 11 under gravity, and simultaneously descends during this movement. The lifting component provided in this application can lift the descended material, making it flush with the conveying surface of the first conveyor line 11. This application's inclined conveyor plate 17 enables automatic material transfer using gravity, eliminating the need for additional drive components, avoiding extra power consumption in material transfer, and improving the automation level of material transfer.

[0065] It should be noted that in the prior art, in order to automatically transfer materials from the lower second conveyor line to the higher first conveyor line 11, the common practice is to set the second conveyor line as an upward conveyor line. However, setting up an upward conveying drive requires a large amount of energy, resulting in a huge waste of conveying energy. In this application, the material's height gradually decreases as it moves towards the first conveyor line 11 due to gravity. Then, a lifting assembly synchronously lifts the material and the conveyor plate 17 that have moved to the blocking part 13. After being lifted, the conveyor plate 17 and the material cross the blocking part 13, and the material continues to slide down the conveyor plate 17 to the starting end of the first conveyor line 11 under the influence of gravity.

[0066] Furthermore, the transmission plate 17 is provided with a flow strip 18, which is inclined downward in the direction from the transmission plate 17 to the first transmission line 11.

[0067] To ensure the smooth movement of materials along the downward-sloping conveyor plate 17, this application provides a flow bar 18 in the conveyor plate 17, and may also provide similar conveyor rollers, which are unpowered and rotatable. The flow bar 18 or conveyor rollers are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveyor plate 17, which refers to the direction from the second conveyor line to the first conveyor line 11. In this way, under the action of gravity, the material in the conveyor plate 17 slides down along the flow bar 18 or conveyor rollers on the conveyor plate 17 to the position of the blocking part 13, that is, near the first conveyor line 11. To prevent the material from sliding out of the second conveyor line, the blocking part 13 blocks the material sliding to the end of the second conveyor line. The lifting assembly simultaneously lifts the conveyor plate 17 and the material above it to a position slightly higher than the conveying surface of the first conveyor line 11. At this time, the blocking part 13 is located below the conveyor plate 17 and no longer obstructs the material. Under the action of gravity, the material continues to be conveyed downwards along the conveyor plate 17 until it falls to the beginning of the first conveyor line 11. Setting up flow bars 18 or conveyor rollers can reduce the friction between the material and the conveyor plate 17, ensuring smooth material movement without the need for additional conveyor drive force, and improving the level of automation in material conveying.

[0068] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the driving force for the second transmission line to move the material towards the first transmission line 11 is the gravity of the material. Therefore, when the lifting component lifts the material, it needs to lift the transmission plate 17 synchronously. This is because the lifted material still needs to move on the transmission plate 17 with the help of gravity until it falls into the first transmission line 11. If only the material is lifted, it cannot continue to move towards the first transmission line 11.

[0069] In one specific embodiment, the transmission plate 17 is fixed inside the transmission frame 12 by the connecting plate 21, and the transmission frame 12 is provided with a slide rail, and the transmission plate 17 is slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0070] To ensure that the transmission plate 17 can move stably up and down along the transmission frame 12, this application can provide a vertical slide rail in the transmission frame 12. The transmission plate 17 is slidably connected to the slide rail, and the lifting component drives the transmission plate 17 to move up and down within the slide rail. Providing a slide rail can reduce the friction of the transmission plate 17 during lifting and lowering, thus reducing the energy consumption of the lifting component.

[0071] In another embodiment, the transmission plate 17 is fixed inside the transmission frame 12 by a connecting plate 21, and a guide shaft 16 is provided in the transmission frame 12, with the transmission plate 17 slidably connected to the guide shaft 16.

[0072] The guide shaft 16 can be set to two or more, with multiple guide shafts 16 arranged vertically in parallel. The transmission plate 17 is slidably connected to the guide shaft 16. When the lifting component drives the transmission plate 17 to rise or fall, since the transmission plate 17 passes through the guide shaft 16, the guide shaft 16 can provide guidance for the rising and falling movement of the transmission plate 17, avoiding tilting of the transmission plate 17 during the rising and falling process, which would affect the tilt of the transmission plate 17 and the transmission effect.

[0073] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a lifting drive 14 and a floating connector 15, wherein the lifting drive 14 is connected to the transmission plate 17 via the floating connector 15.

[0074] The lifting drive component 14 can be a motor or a cylinder, etc. The output end of the lifting drive component 14 is connected to the transmission plate 17 through a floating joint 15. When the lifting drive component 14 drives the transmission plate 17 to rise and fall, the floating joint 15 can reduce the positional deviation of the transmission plate 17 and buffer the rise and fall of the transmission plate 17 to avoid the transmission plate 17 shaking too much, causing materials to fall or become disordered.

[0075] Furthermore, a detection sensor is provided on the side of the second transmission line near the blocking part 13.

[0076] The detection sensor serves two purposes. First, it detects whether material in the conveyor plate 17 has fallen into the first conveyor line 11. When the sensor detects material falling onto the first conveyor line 11, the lifting drive 14 lowers the conveyor plate 17 to its initial position. Second, it detects whether material has reached the blocking part 13. When the sensor detects material contacting the blocking part 13, the lifting assembly raises both the material and the conveyor plate 17. By using the detection sensor, the timing of the lifting and lowering of the lifting assembly can be precisely monitored, improving material transfer efficiency.

[0077] In actual operation, there can be two detection sensors. One is installed on the side of the blocking part 13 near the conveyor plate 17 to detect whether the material is in contact with the blocking part 13. The other is installed on the side of the conveyor plate 17 near the blocking part 13 to detect whether the material is falling from the conveyor plate 17.

[0078] In actual operation, there may be only one detection sensor, installed on the side of the conveyor plate 17 near the blocking part 13. When the material overlaps with the detection sensor, it indicates that the material is in contact with the blocking part 13. When the conveyor plate 17 is raised, if the detection sensor does not detect the material, it means that the material has slid down the conveyor plate 17 into the first conveyor line 11.

[0079] In this application, the blocking part 13 can specifically be a blocking part 13 installed on the side of the conveyor frame 12. The blocking part 13 needs to have a certain height to ensure that the material will not fall off the blocking part 13 during the inclined sliding down of the conveyor plate 17. In actual operation, the height of the blocking part 13 is set to be greater than the height of the stacked materials 24 or a single material.

[0080] The operating principle of the material transfer device in this application includes:

[0081] The booster component lowered the second transmission line to the first height;

[0082] Place the material on the side of the second conveyor line away from the first conveyor line 11;

[0083] The material moves along the second conveyor line toward the first conveyor line 11 until it is intercepted by the blocking part 13.

[0084] The lifting component drives the second transmission line to rise to a second height, so that the material passes over the blocking part 13 and is transmitted to the first transmission line 11; the second height is higher than the first height.

[0085] Example 3

[0086] This application provides a material transfer device, including a transfer component and a first transfer line 11. The transfer component is located outside the starting end of the first transfer line 11 and is used to receive forklift loading at a low position and transfer the material to the first transfer line 11 at a high position.

[0087] The transmission component includes:

[0088] The second transmission line has the same transmission direction as the first transmission line 11. In this embodiment, the second transmission line uses a transmission drive to drive the material to move horizontally on the second transmission line.

[0089] A lifting assembly connecting a second transmission line, the lifting assembly being able to drive the second transmission line to move up and down between a first height and a second height; the second height being higher than the first height.

[0090] A blocking part 13 is located between the first transmission line 11 and the second transmission line, and the blocking part 13 is used to intercept materials at a first height.

[0091] The transmission assembly also includes a transmission frame 12, inside which the second transmission line and the lifting assembly are located, and the blocking portion 13 is located on the side of the transmission frame 12 near the first transmission line 11. The second transmission line includes a horizontally arranged transmission belt, which is horizontally positioned from the second transmission line to the first transmission line 11. The transmission belt is connected to a transmission drive unit, which drives the transmission belt to move.

[0092] A first detection sensor is provided on the side of the blocking part 13 near the second transmission line to detect whether the material comes into contact with the blocking part 13. A second detection sensor is provided on the side of the second transmission line near the blocking part 13 to detect whether the material falls from the second transmission line to the first transmission line 11.

[0093] Example 4

[0094] like Figures 1-7 A pallet material handling system includes a material handling device and a lifting and loading device, wherein the lifting and loading device is located on the side of the handling assembly away from the first conveyor line 11. The lifting and loading device is a manual forklift or an automatic forklift. The lifting height of the manual or automatic forklift is approximately 100 mm. The conveying surface height of the first conveyor line 11 is approximately 200 mm.

[0095] In this application, the material is a stacked material 24, and the lifting and feeding device simultaneously transports the insert plate 23 and the stacked material 24 above the insert plate 23 during the feeding process. The insert plate 23 serves as the carrier of the stacked material 24 and also as part of the transport object, ensuring the uniformity and integrity of the stacked material 24.

[0096] The transmission assembly includes a transmission frame 12, a transmission plate 17, a lifting assembly, and a blocking part 13. The transmission plate 17 and the lifting assembly are located inside the transmission frame 12, and the blocking part 13 is located on the side of the transmission frame 12 near the first transmission line 11. The transmission plate 17 is inclined downward in the direction from the transmission plate 17 to the first transmission line 11. A flow strip 18 is provided in the transmission plate 17, and the flow strip 18 is inclined downward in the direction from the transmission plate 17 to the first transmission line 11, that is, the flow strip 18 is completely attached to the transmission plate 17.

[0097] The lifting assembly includes a lifting drive 14 and a floating joint 15. The lifting drive 14 is connected to the transmission plate 17 through the floating joint 15. The lifting drive 14 is fixed in the first mounting plate 19. The transmission plate 17 is fixed in the second mounting plate 20 through the connecting plate 21. The first mounting plate 19 is located above the second mounting plate 20, and both are fixed on the same side of the transmission frame 12.

[0098] The transmission frame 12 is also provided with a guide shaft 16. The transmission plate 17 is slidably connected to the guide shaft 16. There are two guide shafts 16, and the two guide shafts 16 are fixed in the guide support 22. The guide support 22 is located below the second mounting plate 20.

[0099] The first detection sensor is installed on the side of the blocking part 13 near the conveyor plate 17, and is used to detect whether the insert plate 23 and the stacked material 24 are in contact with the blocking part 13. The second detection sensor is installed on the side of the conveyor plate 17 near the blocking part 13, and is used to detect whether the insert plate 23 and the stacked material 24 have fallen out of the conveyor plate 17.

[0100] This application provides an operating principle for a material conveying device, including:

[0101] The lifting drive component 14 drives the transmission plate 17 to descend to a first height; the first height is less than or equal to the height that the lifting and feeding device can lift.

[0102] The lifting and feeding device simultaneously places the insert plate 23 and the stacked material 24 on the insert plate 23 on the side of the transmission plate 17 away from the first transmission line 11;

[0103] The height of the end of the transfer plate 17 away from the first transfer line 11 is greater than the height of the end of the transfer plate 17 close to the first transfer line 11; the insert plate 23 and the stacked material 24 slide down along the flow strip 18 on the transfer plate 17 towards the first transfer line 11 under the action of gravity until they are intercepted by the blocking part 13.

[0104] When the first detection sensor detects that the insert plate 23 and the stacked material 24 are in contact with the blocking part 13, the lifting drive 14 drives the transmission plate 17 to rise to a second height through the floating joint 15. The second height allows the insert plate 23 and the stacked material 24 to pass over the blocking part 13, and the second height makes the height of the transmission plate 17 slightly higher than the height of the first transmission line 11. After leaving the blocking part 13, the insert plate 23 and the stacked material 24 continue to slide down the flow strip 18 into the first transmission line 11 under the action of gravity, so as to realize the transmission of the insert plate 23 and the stacked material 24.

[0105] The material conveying system disclosed in this application realizes low-level material feeding of the second conveyor line through a lifting and feeding device, and then realizes automatic material feeding of the first conveyor line 11 from the second conveyor line at a high level through a lifting component. This avoids the defect of the first conveyor line 11 sinking design due to the limitation of forklift lifting height in the prior art, and reduces the installation cost of the first conveyor line 11.

[0106] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this application. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings. In the description of this application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this application; the directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0107] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0108] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, these terms have no special meaning and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model. For those skilled in the art, this utility model can have various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
