Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of conveying devices, and specifically relates to a conveying device for cast aluminum rotors. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of cast aluminum rotors, manual or conveying equipment is usually required. Traditional cast aluminum rotor conveying devices only undertake the task of transporting cast aluminum rotors from one station to another, and their function is relatively simple.

[0003] In the production process, after the cast aluminum rotor is cast, it needs to undergo visual defect inspection to ensure product quality. However, since traditional conveying devices lack inspection capabilities, the cast aluminum rotor often needs to be transferred to specialized inspection equipment after conveying. This not only adds a step to the production process, making it cumbersome, but also results in low production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to design a conveying device for cast aluminum rotors. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model. Example 1
