Among them, corner conveyors are widely used to connect production lines in different directions, realizing the turning and transition of materials, and playing an important role in maintaining the continuity of the production line.
[0003] However, existing corner conveyor devices typically have limited functionality, mostly only fulfilling the basic requirement of material turning and conveying. In actual production processes, especially when upstream materials are messy and disordered, these devices cannot effectively organize and sort multiple materials that are piled up or facing different directions. Materials entering subsequent processes in a disorderly state directly hinders the automatic and accurate execution of subsequent steps such as automatic packaging, quality inspection, and material code scanning. This often requires additional manual intervention, increasing labor costs and severely restricting the automation level and efficiency of the entire production line, thus impacting production capacity.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper" and "lower" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship when the product is in normal use.
[0023] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.
[0024] See Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a corner conveying device, including a frame 1, on which a first conveyor belt 2 and a second conveyor belt 3 are mounted. The conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 2 and the conveying direction of the second conveyor belt 3 are perpendicular to each other. The first conveyor belt 2 is provided with a delivery end 201, which is located on one side of the second conveyor belt 3. The frame 1 is provided with a guiding mechanism for guiding external materials 7. The guiding mechanism includes a first guide plate 4 and a second guide plate 5. The first guide plate 4 includes a first straight plate 41 and a first arc plate 42 connected together. The second guide plate 5 includes a first straight plate 41 and a first arc plate 42 connected together. Two straight plates 41 and two curved plates 52 extend along the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 2, and a material-collecting area 6 is formed between the first curved plate 42 and the second curved plate 52. When the material 7 is conveyed into the material-collecting area 6, the first curved plate 42 and the second curved plate 52 organize the multiple materials 7 into a single row conveyed along the conveying direction of the second conveyor belt 3. By setting a material-collecting area at the conveying corner, this utility model can gather the messy incoming materials into a single row, realize the automatic sorting of materials, provide orderly incoming materials for subsequent processes, and improve the working efficiency of the production line.
[0025] Specifically, the upper surface of the first conveyor belt 2 is slightly higher than the upper surface of the second conveyor belt 3, so that the material on the first conveyor belt 2 can be smoothly transferred to the second conveyor belt 3; see reference Figure 3 The second conveyor belt 3 moves from left to right.
[0026] See Figure 1 and Figure 2A first connecting plate 101 is connected between the frame 1 and the first guide plate 4. The first connecting plate 101 can be fixedly connected to the frame 1 and the first connecting plate 101 by means of bolts, welding, etc. A second connecting plate 102 is provided on the frame 1. A connecting rod 103 is connected between the second connecting plate 102 and the second guide plate 5. One end of the connecting rod 103 is integrally connected to the second connecting plate 102, and the other end of the connecting rod 103 is integrally connected to the second guide plate 5. The bottoms of the first guide plate 4 and the second guide plate 5 do not contact the first conveyor belt 2 and the second conveyor belt 3 to avoid interference during conveying. The material 7 is cylindrical and forms a material-collecting area, i.e., a material-collecting channel, between the first arc plate 42 and the second arc plate 52. When multiple cylindrical materials enter randomly, the material-collecting channel can use the inner walls of the two arc plates to apply lateral guiding force to the materials, causing the materials to slide and thus complete the single-row arrangement action, achieving smooth turning and single-row arrangement.
[0027] See Figures 1-3 The frame 1 is equipped with a first baffle plate 104 and a second baffle plate 105, which are respectively positioned on both sides of the second conveyor belt 3. A feeding area 106 is formed between the first baffle plate 104 and the second baffle plate 105, and the feeding area 106 is connected to the material preparation area 6. The feeding area 106 between the first baffle plate 104 and the second baffle plate 105 receives and constrains the prepared materials coming out of the material preparation area, ensuring the continuity of the preparation effect. Specifically, the feeding area formed by the first baffle plate 104 and the second baffle plate 105 on both sides of the second conveyor belt 3 serves as a preparation channel directly connected to the material preparation area. It receives cylindrical materials that have been arranged into a single row in the material preparation area and prevents them from rolling or shifting laterally when entering the second conveyor belt in parallel, thus avoiding the materials becoming disordered again during acceleration, deceleration, or vibration. The first baffle plate 104 is tangent or nearly tangent to one end of the first arc plate 42, and the second baffle plate 105 is tangent or nearly tangent to one end of the second arc plate 52. This tangent design achieves a seamless connection from material preparation to conveying, providing a continuous and smooth guide wall for cylindrical materials, reducing the risk of jamming and collision at turning points, ensuring that the materials can smoothly enter the feeding area after being sorted, and maintaining the smoothness of the conveying.
[0028] See Figure 3 and Figure 4The distance between the first baffle plate 104 and the second baffle plate 105 is the first length L, and the diameter of the material 7 is the second length M. The ratio of the first length L to the second length M is 1.1-1.2. The width of the feeding area is only slightly larger than the diameter of the material. This gap can ensure that the cylindrical material is strictly confined within the channel to prevent it from rolling or deflecting laterally, thereby maintaining the stability of the single-line queue. It also provides the necessary operating tolerance space for the material, avoiding the risk of increased frictional resistance or jamming due to the gap being too small, and ensuring the continuous and smooth conveying.
[0029] See Figures 1-3 The second guide plate 5 also includes an inclined material gathering plate 53, which is connected to the end of the second straight plate 51 away from the second arc plate 52. The material gathering plate is inclined at the inlet end, which adds a pre-sorting area before the material sorting area. It can actively gather and concentrate the dispersed cylindrical materials from different positions of the first conveyor belt with a larger opening angle, and guide them smoothly into the narrow channel formed by the first straight plate and the second straight plate, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of the entire device in handling messy incoming materials.
[0030] See Figure 1 and Figure 5 The frame 1 is equipped with a first motor 81 for driving the first conveyor belt 2. The first conveyor belt 2 is equipped with a first drive shaft 202, and a drive belt 82 is connected between the motor shaft of the first motor 81 and the first drive shaft 202. The first motor 81 provides transmission power to the first conveyor belt 2. The structure is simple and the transmission is stable. In this embodiment, the first motor 81 is a first speed-regulating motor, which can adjust the transmission speed of the first conveyor belt 2 according to the requirements, and has a wide range of applications. It avoids jamming caused by excessive speed or affecting efficiency due to excessively slow speed. The frame 1 is equipped with a second motor 91 for driving the second conveyor belt 3. The second conveyor belt 3 is equipped with a second drive shaft 301, and the output end of the second motor 91 is connected to the second drive shaft 301. The second motor 91 provides transmission power to the second conveyor belt 3. The structure is simple and the transmission is stable. In this embodiment, the second motor 91 is a second speed-regulating motor, which can adjust the transmission speed of the second conveyor belt 3 according to the requirements, and has a wide range of applications.
[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 6The frame 1 is equipped with a tensioning device for tensioning the second conveyor belt 3. The tensioning device includes a tensioning wheel 92 and an adjusting bolt 93. The tensioning wheel 92 is connected to the second conveyor belt 3, and a mounting shaft 94 is provided on the tensioning wheel 92. The tensioning wheel 92 can rotate circumferentially relative to the mounting shaft 94. The frame 1 is provided with a slide groove 107 for mounting the mounting shaft 94. The adjusting bolt 93 includes a screw 931 and a screw head 932. The screw 931 is threadedly connected to the mounting shaft 94. The frame 1 is provided with a limiting block 108 for limiting the screw head 932. During adjustment, by rotating the adjusting bolt 93, the mounting shaft 94 can be driven to move precisely within the slide groove, thereby changing the position of the tensioning wheel and continuously applying appropriate tension to the second conveyor belt 3. This reduces slack, slippage, or deviation caused by belt elongation, ensures the power transmission efficiency between the second conveyor belt and the second drive shaft, and protects the second motor from overload. Its structure is simple and easy to adjust, and it can maintain the stable operation and accurate speed synchronization of the second conveyor belt 3 for a long time.
