[0020] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrates this application. Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0023] Currently, the production of handicrafts (such as hot-beaded puzzles) requires the use of tools to transport materials. However, most existing conveyor systems are multifunctional but have complex internal structures, resulting in poor stability and reliability. Other conveyor systems have simple structures and require additional tools to complete material transport, leading to complex operation and high costs.

[0024] Therefore, to solve the aforementioned technical problems, embodiments of this application provide a conveying device. By setting a storage component in the conveying device to store materials, the user is spared from frequently grabbing materials during the handicraft process, thus improving the output efficiency of the conveying device. Furthermore, the conveying device also includes a rocker arm assembly. By applying external force to the rocker arm of the rocker arm assembly, the upper and lower ejector pins of the rocker arm move relative to each other. When the upper ejector pin extends into the first region to press the material in the first region, the lower ejector pin moves away from the second region to release the material in the second region. Alternatively, when the upper ejector pin moves away from the first region to release the material in the first region and moves it to the second region, the lower ejector pin extends into the second region to block the material. This allows materials to be output one by one from the conveying pipe. The entire conveying process is simple to operate and improves the material conveying efficiency. In addition, the overall structure of the conveying device is simple, ensuring operational reliability and stability.

[0025] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0026] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 4 One embodiment of this application provides a conveying device 100. The conveying device 100 includes a storage component 10, a conveying pipe 20, and a rocker arm assembly 30. The conveying pipe 20 is connected to the storage component 10. A first moving groove 21 and a second moving groove 22 are provided at intervals on the side wall of the conveying pipe 20. The conveying pipe 20 has a first region and a second region. The region directly opposite the first moving groove 21 is defined as the first region. The region directly opposite the second moving groove 22 is defined as the second region. The rocker arm assembly 30 includes a rocker arm 31. The rocker arm 31 is provided with an upper ejector pin 310 corresponding to the first moving groove 21 and a lower ejector pin 311 corresponding to the second moving groove 22. At least a portion of the upper ejector pin 310 extends into the first moving groove 21. At least a portion of the lower ejector pin 311 extends into the second moving groove 22. When the rocker arm 31 is subjected to an external force, the upper ejector pin 310 and the lower ejector pin 311 move relative to each other. The upper ejector pin 310 extends into the first region to press the material or the upper ejector pin 310 moves away from the first region to release the material, and the lower ejector pin 311 extends into the second region to block the material or the lower ejector pin 311 moves away from the second region to release the material.

[0027] In some embodiments of this application, the conveying device 100 is provided with a storage component 10. By storing materials in the storage component 10, users are prevented from frequently grabbing materials during the handicraft process, thus improving the output efficiency of the conveying device 100. Furthermore, the conveying device 100 is also provided with a rocker arm assembly 30. By applying an external force to the rocker arm 31 of the rocker arm assembly 30, the upper ejector pin 310 and the lower ejector pin 311 of the rocker arm 31 move relative to each other. When the upper ejector pin 310 extends into the first region to press the material in the first region, the lower ejector pin 311 moves away from the second region to release the material in the second region. Alternatively, when the upper ejector pin 310 moves away from the first region to release the material in the first region and moves it to the second region, the lower ejector pin 311 extends into the second region to block the material. This allows materials to be output one by one from the conveying pipe 20. The entire conveying process is simple to operate and improves the material conveying efficiency. In addition, the overall structure of the conveying device 100 is simple, ensuring the reliability and stability of operation.

[0028] Understandably, the area directly opposite the first moving groove 21 is the projected area of ​​the first moving groove 21 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the conveying pipe 20. The area directly opposite the second moving groove 22 is defined as the projected area of ​​the second moving groove 22 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the conveying pipe 20.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, in practical applications, such as Figure 3 As shown in Figure (a), in the initial state, the lower ejector pin 311 of the rocker arm 31 extends into the second region to prevent the first material located between the upper ejector pin 310 and the lower ejector pin 311 from falling from the conveying pipe 20. At this time, an external force is applied to the rocker arm 31, and the lower ejector pin 311 moves away from the second region, as shown in Figure (a). Figure 3 As shown in Figure (b), the upper ejector pin 310 presses down on the second material located in front of the upper ejector pin 310 (the material in front of the first material), and the pressed second material is fixed in the first area of ​​the conveying pipe 20, as shown in Figure (b). Figure 3 As shown in Figure (c), an external force continues to be applied to the rocker arm 31, and the lower ejector pin 311 moves further away from the second region. The first material falls from the conveying pipe 20, and the second material continues to be pressed down by the upper ejector pin 310 until one material conveying cycle is completed.

[0030] Understandably, in order to improve conveying efficiency and accuracy, it is necessary to set the distance of the upper ejector pin 310 extending into the first moving groove 21 and the distance of the lower ejector pin 311 extending into the second moving groove 22 to be compatible with the size of the conveyed material. For example, it is necessary to set the lower ejector pin 311 to move a target distance after the upper ejector pin 310 presses down on the second material before the first material is released, and the target distance meets the conveying requirements.

[0031] In some embodiments of this application, the conveying device 100 further includes a housing 40. The housing 40 has a first port 41 and a second port 42. The storage member 10 has a connecting portion 11. The connecting portion 11 is inserted into the first port 41 and connected to the housing 40. A first end of the conveying pipe 20 is inserted into the connecting portion 11. A second end of the conveying pipe 20 extends out of the second port 42.

[0032] In some embodiments of this application, by inserting the first end of the conveying pipe 20 into the connecting part 11, the conveying pipe 20 can move within the storage component 10. At the same time, by inserting the connecting part 11 into the first port 41 and connecting it to the housing 40, it is beneficial to control the relative movement distance between the connecting part 11 and the conveying pipe 20, thus ensuring the stability of the conveying device 100 in conveying materials.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, the housing 40 may have an upper housing 40a and a lower housing 40b. The upper housing 40a and the lower housing 40b are interlocked to form a cavity, and the delivery pipe 20 is installed in the cavity. On the one hand, this helps to protect the delivery pipe 20 from damage; on the other hand, the upper housing 40a and the lower housing 40b are detachably connected, which improves the convenience of installing the delivery pipe 20.

[0034] In some embodiments of this application, the upper housing 40a is provided with a mounting portion 401. The mounting portion 401 is provided with a groove 4010. The rocker arm 31 is provided with a fixing shaft 312. The fixing shaft 312 is inserted into the groove 4010 and connected to the housing 40. The rocker arm 31 is fixed by the cooperation between the fixing shaft 312 and the groove 4010, ensuring the stability of the position of the rocker arm 31 during use.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the second end of the conveying pipe 20 is provided with a discharge port 23. The normal direction of the discharge port 23 is set at a preset angle relative to the axial direction of the conveying pipe 20.

[0036] In some embodiments of this application, by setting the normal direction of the discharge port 23 to be inclined relative to the axial direction of the conveying pipe 20, it is beneficial to observe the landing point of the material, avoid the problem that the material is not easy to observe, and the material moves too fast, resulting in the inability to accurately locate the landing point of the material, thereby improving the stability and reliability of material conveying.

[0037] Understandably, the angle between the normal direction of the discharge port 23 and the axis of the conveying pipe 20 can be set in advance according to the size or shape of the material. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this. For example, the preset angle can be less than 45 degrees.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, the second end of the conveying pipe 20 has an inclined surface 201. The inclined surface 201 is used to guide the movement of the conveying pipe 20, which is beneficial for better conveying.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, the conveying device 100 further includes a reset member 50. The connecting portion 11 has an abutment portion 110. The conveying pipe 20 has a stop portion 24. The reset member 50 is sleeved on the conveying pipe 20 and located between the abutment portion 110 and the stop portion 24. The reset member 50 is used to provide an elastic force that moves the connecting portion 11 away from the stop portion 24. The reset member 50 can be a spring, an elastic structure, etc., and this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, by placing the reset member 50 between the abutment portion 110 and the stop portion 24, it is beneficial to control the relative movement speed between the connecting portion 11 and the conveying pipe 20, thereby ensuring the stability of the conveying device 100.

[0041] For example, such as Figure 4 In practical applications, if the material is beads, the beads are stored in the storage container 10. Generally, only a portion of the beads fall directly into the conveying pipe 20, while the remaining beads block the opening of the conveying pipe 20. In this case, if... Figure 4 Figure (a) and Figure 4 As shown in Figure (b), when pressure is applied to the storage unit 10, the connecting part 11 of the storage unit 10 moves relative to the conveying pipe 20, the reset member 50 is compressed, and the inlet of the conveying pipe 20 moves upward relative to the storage unit 10. Then, the beads blocked in the inlet will fall into the conveying pipe 20 to varying degrees. Even if the beads are blocked relatively tightly in the inlet, they will fall off due to vibration and impact, thus avoiding the problem of material conveying being unable to proceed due to blockage of the inlet and improving the stability of material conveying.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the rocker arm assembly 30 further includes a pressing member 32. A mounting hole 43 is provided on the housing 40. The pressing member 32 is inserted into the mounting hole 43 and connected to the rocker arm assembly 31. The pressing member 32 is used to drive the rocker arm assembly 31 to swing.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, the use of a pressing element 32 improves the ease of user operation.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, the rocker arm assembly 30 further includes an elastic member 33. The two ends of the elastic member 33 are respectively disposed on the housing 40 and the rocker arm assembly 31. The elastic member 33 is used to reset the rocker arm assembly 31.

[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the elastic element 33 is a torsion spring, which includes a first arm and a second arm. The first arm is connected to the housing 40, and the second arm is connected to the rocker arm 31, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown in Figure (b), when an external force F is applied to the rocker arm 31, the rocker arm 31 swings relative to the housing 40, and the torsion spring undergoes torsional deformation under the external force, as shown in Figure (b). Figure 3As shown in Figure (a), when the external force applied by the rocker arm 31 is released, the torsion spring generates a restoring force opposite to the external force, which is beneficial to realize the automatic reset of the rocker arm 31 by utilizing the restoring force of the torsion spring.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, the lower ejector pin 311 has a guide surface 3110 on the side near the upper ejector pin 310. The guide surface 3110 is used to guide the movement of materials, which facilitates the removal of materials from the conveying pipe 20 and ensures the smoothness of material movement.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, the lower ejector pin 311 is further provided with a blocking surface 3111 on the side near the upper ejector pin 310. The connection between the blocking surface 3111 and the guide surface 3110 is an arc transition. The blocking surface 3111 is used to block the movement of materials.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, by setting the connection between the blocking surface 3111 and the guide surface 3110 to be an arc transition, the problem of material damage when the blocking surface 3111 blocks the material movement is avoided, thus ensuring the yield of the material.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, the housing 40 has a snap-fit ​​portion 44 inside. The outer wall of the delivery pipe 20 has a positioning portion 25 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​portion 44. The snap-fit ​​portion 44 and the positioning portion 25 snap together.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, the conveying pipe 20 is positioned by the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​part 44 and the positioning part 25, so as to avoid the problem of inaccurate conveying position caused by the movement of the conveying pipe 20 during the conveying process of the conveying device 100, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the conveying device 100.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, the delivery tube 20 and / or the housing 40 are made of a light-transmitting material.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, the conveying pipe 20 and / or the housing 40 are made of light-transmitting material, allowing real-time observation of the material conveying process, which facilitates user operation and positioning of the material's landing point.

[0053] The conveying device 100 also includes a cover 60. The storage unit 10 is provided with a receiving cavity 12. The cover 60 is used to seal the receiving cavity 12. By providing a cover 60 to the storage unit 10, it is convenient to replenish and replace materials.

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, the storage unit 10 is provided with multiple compartments (not shown in the figure). Different compartments are used to store different materials, which is beneficial for adapting to various scenarios and improves the flexibility of the conveying device 100.

[0055] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this application without departing from the spirit and substance of the technical solutions of this application.
