[0023] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the flexible conveyor line 2 of the present utility model comprises: at least two carrier modules 1, each carrier module 1 is provided with a cross-shaped conveyor line 2; two adjacent carrier modules 1 are connected through a detachable fastening structure 3, so that the cross-shaped conveyor lines 2 on the adjacent carrier modules 1 are butted to form a continuous conveying chain.

[0024] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the cross-shaped conveyor line 2 is arranged on the carrier module 1, the carrier module 1 presents a frame-shaped structure, the cross-shaped conveyor line 2 can extend to four sides of the carrier module 1, and the conveyor line 2 can be a magnetic levitation transmission system; each carrier module 1 and the cross-shaped conveyor line 2 arranged on the carrier module 1 have the same structure. Through this arrangement, four sides of each carrier module 1 can be respectively butted with other carrier modules 1, and two adjacent carrier modules 1 are rigidly connected through the fastening structure 3, so that after the cross-shaped conveyor lines 2 on each carrier module 1 are butted, a conveying chain with a required conveying direction can be formed. Users can assemble a plurality of carriers as needed to change the direction of the conveyor line 2, which improves the flexibility of the present application for conveying objects. Meanwhile, the adoption of a magnetic levitation transmission line can improve the conveying accuracy of objects and reduce jamming during object conveying.

[0025] See Figure 1 , the figure shows a schematic diagram of three carrier modules 1 after being butted. The three carrier modules 1 can be butted in an L shape or in a straight shape. It can be understood that when the number of carrier modules 1 is four, the four carrier modules 1 can be butted in a "grid" shape or in a straight shape; there is no specific limitation on the butting mode of a plurality of carrier modules 1, and it can be selected according to actual production requirements.

[0026] In one or more embodiments, the fastening structure 3 includes at least a fastener, which includes a pin plate 31 that overlaps on an adjacent platform module 1 and a first pin 32 and a second pin 33 that pass through the pin plate 31 and are respectively inserted into two adjacent platform modules 1.

[0027] See Figures 1 to 3 Each of the four sides of the platform module 1 has two mounting stations 11, located on either side of the cross-shaped conveyor line 2. Each mounting station 11 has a pin hole for mounting a first pin 32 or a second pin 33. It is understood that at least one fastening structure 3 is installed on each of the two mounting stations 11 on the side of the platform module 1. In other embodiments, each mounting station 11 is provided with a fastening structure 3 to improve the connection strength between the various platform modules 1.

[0028] Specifically, when connecting several cross-shaped conveyor lines 2, firstly, the sides of two frame-shaped platform modules 1 are pressed tightly together. Then, the pin plate 31 is placed across the two platform modules 1 and placed on the installation station 11, so that the holes of the pin plate 31 are aligned with the pin holes on the two installation stations 11. Then, the first pin 32 is inserted through the pin plate 31 into the pin hole of the platform module 1, and the second pin 33 is inserted through the pin plate 31 into the pin hole of the other platform module 1. The two platform modules 1 can be fixed by the pin plate 31, the first pin 32 and the second pin 33, thereby realizing the connection of the cross-shaped conveyor lines 2 on the two platform modules 1. It has the characteristics of convenient connection and separation and is practical.

[0029] In one or more embodiments, the fastening structure 3 further includes a latch lock 34, which has a latch body 341 and a latch seat 342 that can be fastened or separated. The latch body 341 and the latch seat 342 are respectively disposed on adjacent platform modules 1. Each side of the platform module 1 is provided with a latch body 341 and a latch seat 342 of the latch lock 34. A limiting hole is provided on the platform module 1, and the bottom surface of the latch body 341 and the latch seat 342 of the latch lock 34 are provided with a plunger 343 adapted to the limiting hole.

[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4The latch lock 34 has a latch body 341 and a latch seat 342. The latch body 341 and the latch seat 342 need to be installed on the two platform modules 1 respectively to realize the connection between the two platform modules 1. Each side of the platform module 1 is provided with two installation stations 11. At the two installation stations 11, a latch body 341 and a latch seat 342 can be configured respectively to facilitate the docking of any two platform modules 1. It can be understood that two latch bodies 341 or two latch seats 342 can also be set at the two stations respectively, without any specific limitation.

[0031] See Figure 2 Limiting holes are provided on the installation station 11 of the platform module 1. The bottom surface of the latch body 341 and the locking seat 342 is provided with plungers 343. When installing the latch lock 34, the plungers 343 on the bottom surface of the latch body 341 and the locking seat 342 are inserted into the limiting holes of the platform module 1.

[0032] It should be noted that the latch lock 34 is used to pre-tighten and position the two platform modules 1 to facilitate the installation of the pin plate 31, the first pin 32, and the second pin 33. Specifically, when docking the two platform modules 1, the latch body 341 of one platform module 1 is fastened to the latch seat 342 of the other platform module 1, which can achieve pre-tightening and positioning of the two platform modules 1, avoid the problem of displacement of the two platform modules 1 when installing the pin plate 31, and improve the docking efficiency of the conveyor line 2.

[0033] In one or more embodiments, a first alignment member 4 and a second alignment member 5 are respectively disposed on adjacent platform modules 1. When two adjacent platform modules 1 are docked, the first alignment member 4 can extend into the second alignment member 5 so that the two platform modules 1 are initially aligned. The first alignment member 4 includes at least a cylindrical rod 41, and the second alignment member 5 is a limiting plate 51 with a recess.

[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 The first alignment member 4 and the second alignment member 5 installed on the two platform modules 1 respectively are used to pre-position the two platform modules 1, reducing the problem of excessive displacement of the two platform modules 1 before docking. Specifically, the cylindrical rod 41 of the first alignment member 4 of one platform module 1 is inserted into the recess of the limiting plate 51 of the second alignment member 5 of the other platform module 1. The recess of the limiting plate 51 forms a limit on the rod 41, thereby restricting the position between the two platform modules 1 and achieving the effect of limiting displacement.

[0035] In one or more embodiments, each stage module 1 has a buffer pad on its side. The buffer pad can mitigate the vibration generated when adjacent stage modules 1 come into contact during docking.

[0036] In one or more embodiments, each platform module 1 has a roller module 6 rotatably mounted on its bottom. See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 The roller module 6 makes it easy for staff to push the platform module 1, facilitating the movement and docking of each platform module 1.

Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it. They cannot be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
