[0022] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a delivery device, including a conveying mechanism 10, a first driving member 21 and a universal connection assembly. The conveying mechanism 10 is used to convey a material box 30, and the first driving member 21 is installed on the conveying mechanism 10.

[0024] The output end of the first drive unit 21 is omnidirectionally connected to the universal joint component, and the universal joint component can deflect relative to the first drive unit 21.

[0025] The universal joint assembly is used for transmission connection with the conveying mechanism 33 of the material box 30. The first driving member 21 can drive the universal joint assembly to rotate, so that the conveying mechanism 33 can feed the material plate into or out of the material box 30. When the universal joint assembly is transmission connected with the conveying mechanism 33 of the material box 30, the universal joint assembly can transmit rotational power to the conveying mechanism 33 of the material box 30. After receiving the power, the conveying mechanism 33 converts the rotational motion into linear motion through its own mechanical structure (such as chain, belt, gear and rack transmission), thereby realizing the operation of feeding the material plate into or out of the material box 30.

[0026] In this process, the output end of the first drive component 21 is connected to the universal joint component through a universal connection. That is, the universal joint component can deflect at a certain angle relative to the output end of the first drive component 21, and within this deflection angle range, torque can still be effectively transmitted.

[0027] When there is a slight coaxiality deviation (or positional offset) between the universal joint assembly and the conveying mechanism 33 of the hopper 30, this universal joint method allows the universal joint assembly to deflect at a certain angle relative to the output end of the first drive component 21, compensating for errors generated during assembly or movement. This enables the universal joint assembly to accurately dock with the conveying mechanism 33 of the hopper 30, thereby transmitting power to the conveying mechanism 33, improving the stability of conveying, and effectively reducing the rigid collision caused by errors between the universal joint assembly and the conveying mechanism 33.

[0028] In one embodiment, the transport mechanism 10 may be an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle), which is an existing structure and will not be described in detail here.

[0029] In one embodiment, the universal connection assembly includes a universal connector 23 and a first connector 22. The output end of the first drive member 21 is universally connected to the first connector 22 through the universal connector 23, so that the first connector 22 can deflect relative to the first drive member 21.

[0030] Universal connector 23 connects the output end of the first drive member 21 and the first connector 22. The first connector 22 can be drivenly connected to the conveying mechanism 33 of the material box 30, and can transmit rotational power to the conveying mechanism 33 of the material box 30 through the first connector 22. By setting the universal connector 23, the output end of the first drive member 21 is universally connected to the first connector 22. When there is a slight coaxiality deviation (or positional offset) between the first connector 22 and the conveying mechanism 33 of the material box 30, the universal connector 23 allows the first connector 22 to deflect at a certain angle relative to the output end of the first drive member 21, which compensates for the errors generated during assembly or movement, so that the first connector 22 can accurately dock with the conveying mechanism 33 of the material box 30, thereby transmitting power to the conveying mechanism 33 and improving the stability of conveying.

[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the universal connector 23 includes a first connector 231, a second connector 232 and a connecting body 233. The first connector 231 is installed at the output end of the first drive member 21 and is rotatably connected to the connecting body 233. The second connector 232 is installed at the first connector 22 and is rotatably connected to the connecting body 233.

[0032] A connecting body 233 is disposed between the first connector 231 and the second connector 232. One end of the connecting body 233 is connected to the first connector 231 via a rotating structure, forming a first set of rotating pairs, allowing the connecting body 233 to deflect relative to the first connector 231. The other end of the connecting body 233 is connected to the second connector 232 via a rotating structure, allowing the second connector 232 to deflect relative to the connecting body 233. When there is a coaxiality deviation between the first connecting member 22 and the output end of the first driving member 21, the two sets of rotating structures combine to enable the first connecting member 22 to achieve small-angle deflection in multiple directions relative to the output end of the first driving member 21 in space. During the deflection process, the connecting body 233 always maintains power transmission, avoiding jamming or breakage of the rigid connection.

[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the universal connector 23 also includes a first cross shaft 234 and a second cross shaft. The first cross shaft 234 includes an intersecting first rotating shaft 234a and a second rotating shaft 234b. The first rotating shaft 234a is hinged to the first connector 231, and the second rotating shaft 234b is hinged to the connecting body 233. The second cross shaft includes an intersecting third rotating shaft 235a and a fourth rotating shaft 235b. The third rotating shaft 235a is hinged to the second connector 232, and the fourth rotating shaft 235b is hinged to the connecting body 233.

[0034] The first rotating shaft 234a and the second rotating shaft 234b intersect perpendicularly, and the plane defined by the first rotating shaft 234a and the second rotating shaft 234b is perpendicular to the output shaft of the first driving member 21. Using the output shaft of the first driving member 21 as a deflection reference, the connecting body 233 can be deflected vertically relative to the first connector 231 via the first rotating shaft 234a. The connecting body 233 can be deflected horizontally relative to the first connector 231 via the second rotating shaft 234b.

[0035] The third rotating shaft 235a and the fourth rotating shaft 235b intersect perpendicularly. Taking the connecting body 233 as the deflection reference, the second connector 232 can be deflected vertically relative to the connecting body 233 via the third rotating shaft 235a. The second connector 232 can be deflected horizontally relative to the connecting body 233 via the fourth rotating shaft 235b.

[0036] In this embodiment, by using two cross shafts superimposed, the deflection angle can be increased, which can accommodate greater installation errors and operating condition fluctuations.

[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first connector 231 is provided with a first fork-shaped structure 2311, and one end of the connecting body 233 is provided with a second fork-shaped structure 2331. The first fork-shaped structure 2311 and the second fork-shaped structure 2331 are perpendicularly interlocked to form a space for placing the first cross shaft 234. The two ends of the first rotating shaft 234a are respectively hinged to the two side walls of the first fork-shaped structure 2311, and the two ends of the second rotating shaft 234b are respectively hinged to the two side walls of the second fork-shaped structure 2331, so that the first cross shaft 234 can rotate stably in the cavity.

[0038] The second connector 232 is provided with a third fork-shaped structure 2321, and the other end of the connecting body 233 is provided with a fourth fork-shaped structure 2332. The third fork-shaped structure 2321 and the fourth fork-shaped structure 2332 are perpendicularly interlocked to form a space for placing the second cross shaft. The two ends of the third rotating shaft 235a are respectively hinged to the two side walls of the third fork-shaped structure 2321, and the two ends of the fourth rotating shaft 235b are respectively hinged to the two side walls of the fourth fork-shaped structure 2332, so that the second cross shaft can rotate stably in the cavity.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the delivery device also includes a limiting sleeve 29, which is fixed relative to the first driving member 21. A universal connector 23 is disposed in the limiting sleeve 29, and the limiting sleeve 29 is used to limit the position of the universal connector 23.

[0040] Because the connecting body 233 and the second connector 232 of the universal connector 23 have their own weight, they will sag due to gravity under the cross shaft connection structure. The first connector 22 connected to the second connector 232 will also sag accordingly, which will cause a serious misalignment between the first connector 22 and the power receiving component of the conveying mechanism 33 of the material box 30, affecting the docking.

[0041] In this embodiment, the limiting sleeve 29 has a cylindrical structure with a hollow cavity inside. The universal connector 23 is inserted entirely into the cavity, and a small gap is maintained between the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 29 and the universal connector 23. This not only does not hinder the normal deflection of the universal connector 23, but also forms a physical constraint to improve the misalignment caused by the drooping of the first connector 22.

[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first connector 22 is provided with a limited rotation groove 221, and the conveying mechanism 33 includes a second connector 331. The second connector 331 can be inserted into the limited rotation groove 221 along the first direction a. The limited rotation groove 221 is used to limit the relative rotation between the second connector 331 and the first connector 22.

[0043] The rotation limiting groove 221 has a specific shape, and the shape of the second connecting member 331 matches the rotation limiting groove 221. When the second connecting member 331 is inserted into the rotation limiting groove 221 along the first direction a, the rotation limiting groove 221 effectively restricts the relative rotation between the second connecting member 331 and the first connecting member 22 due to the fit between their shapes. The second connecting member 331 is a power receiving member, and the rotational motion of the first connecting member 22 can be accurately transmitted to the second connecting member 331 to ensure the realization of the function of the conveying mechanism 33.

[0044] In one embodiment, the rotation limiting groove 221 extends along the first direction a, and the central axis of the rotation limiting groove 221 coincides with the central axis of the first connector 22. The rotation limiting groove 221 is a non-circular shape, such as square, triangular, polygonal, etc.

[0045] It should be noted that, because the first connector 22 can deflect, the second connector 331 can enter the rotation-limiting groove 221 of the first connector 22. The second connector 331 is a rigid component extending along the first direction a. During the insertion process, under the action of the second connector 331, the first connector 22 can also be forced to deflect, allowing the second connector 331 to smoothly enter the rotation-limiting groove 221.

[0046] In one embodiment, the conveying mechanism 33 further includes a conveying assembly, which can employ a chain, belt, synchronous belt 334, rack and pinion, or other transmission methods. The first connecting member 22 serves as an intermediate transmission component between the first driving member 21 and the second connecting member 331. The power output from the first driving member 21 is transmitted to the second connecting member 331 through the first connecting member 22, causing the second connecting member 331 to rotate. The rotation of the second connecting member 331 further drives the conveying assembly, which, according to its structural form, applies a corresponding force to the material plate, thereby moving the material plate within the material box 30.

[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second connector 331 includes a connecting part 3311 and a plug-in part 3312. The connecting part 3311 is connected to the material box 30, and the plug-in part 3312 is connected to the connecting part 3311. The plug-in part 3312 is located in the rotation limiting groove 221.

[0048] When the insertion part 3312 is inserted into the rotation limiting groove 221, the rotation limiting groove 221 can restrict the relative rotation between the insertion part 3312 and the first connecting member 22, ensuring that the rotational motion transmitted by the first connecting member 22 can be completely converted into the conveying motion of the conveying assembly. At the same time, the connecting part 3311 is installed on the material box 30 and connected to the conveying assembly, which enables the installation of the second connecting member 331 on the material box 30.

[0049] Specifically, at the junction of the connecting portion 3311 and the insertion portion 3312, the cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting portion 3311 perpendicular to the first direction a is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the insertion portion 3312 perpendicular to the first direction a. This allows a stepped structure to be formed at the junction of the connecting portion 3311 and the insertion portion 3312. When the insertion portion 3312 is inserted into the rotation limiting groove 221, this stepped structure can limit the insertion position of the insertion portion 3312 in the rotation limiting groove 221.

[0050] In one embodiment, the connecting portion 3311 is cylindrical.

[0051] In one embodiment, the insertion part 3312 has a columnar structure, and the cross-sectional shape of the insertion part 3312 perpendicular to the first direction a is square, triangular or polygonal. The cross-sectional shape of the rotation limiting groove 221 perpendicular to the first direction a is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the insertion part 3312, thereby restricting the relative rotation of the insertion part 3312 and the rotation limiting groove 221.

[0052] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the second connector 331 also includes a guide portion 3313, which is connected to the end of the insertion portion 3312 away from the connecting portion 3311. The cross-sectional area of ​​the guide portion 3313 perpendicular to the first direction a gradually decreases in the direction away from the connecting portion 3311, making the guide portion 3313 conical or flared. When the insertion portion 3312 of the second connector 331 mates with the rotation limiting groove 221, the guide portion 3313 can guide the insertion portion 3312 into the rotation limiting groove 221. Even if there is a slight deviation in the initial alignment, the guide portion 3313 can guide the insertion portion 3312 into the rotation limiting groove 221 by virtue of its gradually changing cross-section, without the need for precise manual alignment. During the aforementioned guiding process, the force generated by the contact between the guide part 3313 and the second connector 331 forces the deformable component to deform. Through adaptive compensation of the docking deviation by deformation, it further ensures that the plug part 3312 can smoothly complete the engagement with the limit groove 221, avoids docking jamming, and reduces hard friction and impact between components.

[0053] In one embodiment, the first connector 22 is further provided with a guide groove 222, which communicates with the rotation limiting groove 221. The guide groove 222 is located at the end of the first connector 22 away from the first driving member 21. The cross-sectional area of ​​the guide groove 222 perpendicular to the first direction a gradually increases in the direction away from the rotation limiting groove 221. The guide groove 222 is used to guide the insertion part 3312 into the rotation limiting groove 221.

[0054] The guide groove 222 is conical or flared, making it easier for the insertion part 3312 to be inserted into the guide groove 222. When the insertion part 3312 of the second connector 331 mates with the rotation limiting groove 221, the guide groove 222 guides the movement of the insertion part 3312, guiding it into the rotation limiting groove 221 without the need for precise manual alignment. During the guiding process, the force generated by the contact between the guide groove 222 and the insertion part 3312 forces the deformable component to deform. Through adaptive compensation of the mating deviation, the insertion part 3312 can smoothly complete the mating with the rotation limiting groove 221, avoiding mating jamming and reducing hard friction and impact between components.

[0055] Furthermore, as an example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second connector 331 includes a guide portion 3313, and the first connector 22 is provided with a guide groove 222. When the insertion portion 3312 of the second connector 331 mates with the rotation limiting groove 221, the guide portion 3313 and the guide groove 222 interact to guide the insertion portion 3312 to smoothly embed into the rotation limiting groove 221, ensuring smooth and efficient docking.

[0056] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6As shown, the delivery device also includes a lifting mechanism 40, which is installed on the conveying mechanism 10. The material bin 30 is provided with multiple temporary storage compartments, which are spaced apart vertically, and each temporary storage compartment can store a material plate. Multiple conveying mechanisms 33 are provided and spaced apart vertically, and each temporary storage compartment is provided with a conveying mechanism 33. This one-to-one correspondence ensures that each temporary storage compartment can store and retrieve material plates through the corresponding conveying mechanism 33.

[0057] The lifting mechanism 40 can drive the material box 30 to rise and fall, so that the second connecting member 331 of each conveying mechanism 33 can be connected to the first connecting member 22. When the lifting mechanism 40 is started, it can drive the material box 30 to make a vertical linear movement, so that the first connecting member 22 can dock with the second connecting member 331 of the conveying mechanism 33 at different heights, thereby realizing independent operation of the material plates in each layer of the temporary storage bin.

[0058] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 40 typically includes a driving component and a transmission component. The driving component can be a motor, a hydraulic cylinder, etc., and the transmission component can be a screw and nut pair, a gear and rack pair, etc. The structure of the lifting mechanism 40 is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0059] In one embodiment, the output end of the lifting mechanism 40 is connected to a bracket 41, the material box 30 is placed on the bracket 41, the bracket 41 is slidably connected to the conveying mechanism 10, and the lifting mechanism 40 can drive the bracket 41 to move in the vertical direction, thereby driving the material box 30 to move in the vertical direction.

[0060] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the delivery device also includes a mounting base 24, a connecting plate 25, and a second driving member 26. The mounting base 24 is connected to the conveying mechanism 10, the connecting plate 25 is slidably connected to the mounting base 24 along the first direction a, the first driving member 21 is mounted on the connecting plate 25, and the limiting sleeve 29 is connected to the connecting plate 25.

[0061] The output end of the second driving member 26 is connected to the connecting plate 25. The second driving member 26 can drive the first driving member 21 to move between the first position and the second position along the first direction a, and drive the first driving member 21 to move synchronously with the connecting plate 25. When the first driving member 21 is in the first position, the universal joint assembly is connected to the conveying mechanism 33; when the first driving member 21 is in the second position, the universal joint assembly is separated from the conveying mechanism 33.

[0062] When the material plate needs to be moved, the second driving component 26 drives the connecting plate 25 to the first position, bringing the first driving component 21 and the first connecting component 22 closer to the second connecting component 331. The first connecting component 22 and the second connecting component 331 can then dock and establish a reliable transmission connection, ensuring that the power output by the first driving component 21 can be smoothly transmitted to the second connecting component 331 through the first connecting component 22, thereby driving the material plate to move through the conveying assembly within the material box 30. When the material plate does not need to be moved, the second driving component 26 drives it to the second position, moving the first connecting component 22 away from the second connecting component 331, avoiding unnecessary contact and friction between them, preventing component wear, and preventing possible mis-transmission. Simultaneously, it also prevents the first connecting component 22 from interfering with the material box 30 when the material box 30 is raised or lowered.

[0063] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the output end of the second driving component 26 is connected to an adapter 27, which is connected to the connecting plate 25. Thus, under the drive of the second driving component 26, the connecting plate 25 can be moved through the connection of the adapter 27.

[0064] In one embodiment, the mounting base 24 includes a mounting frame 241 and a fixing plate 242. The mounting frame 241 is mounted on the transport mechanism 10, the fixing plate 242 is mounted on the mounting frame 241, the second driving member 26 is mounted on the mounting frame 241, and the connecting plate 25 is slidably connected to the fixing plate 242 along the first direction a.

[0065] The fixed plate 242 is provided with a linear guide rail 28, and the connecting plate 25 is connected to the linear guide rail 28. The linear guide rail 28 enables the connecting plate 25 to slide relative to the fixed plate 242.

[0066] On the other hand, such as Figure 6 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a material distribution device 100, including a material bin 30 and a distribution device according to any of the above embodiments. The material bin 30 is placed on a conveying mechanism 10 and is used to store material plates. The material bin 30 is provided with a conveying mechanism 33, which can be connected to a first connecting member 22 for transmission. A driving member can drive the first connecting member 22 to rotate, thereby driving the conveying mechanism 33 to convey material plates.
