Conveying equipment

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202322334069.5, filed on August 29, 2023, entitled “Conveying Equipment,” which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

Technical field

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of material transportation, and in particular to a conveying device. [Background Technology]

[0003] Some existing conveying equipment must pass through fire doors. When the fire doors are lowered in an emergency, materials and other materials must be cleared from under the doors to isolate the fire zone. Existing methods disconnect conveying equipment by flipping them over, but this creates a risk of materials falling onto the work surface during transport, especially for high-risk material transport.

[0004] [Summary of the invention]

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a conveying device that can solve the problem that battery cells are easily damaged.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, a technical solution adopted in this application is: to provide a conveying equipment, including: a first conveying mechanism, at least partially located below the fire-fighting component, and the first conveying mechanism can move along the first direction; a second conveying mechanism, located on one side of the first conveying mechanism; a moving mechanism, forming a accommodating space and an avoidance space arranged along the second direction, the second conveying mechanism is arranged in the accommodating space, and the second direction is arranged perpendicular to the first direction; when the fire-fighting component is triggered, the second conveying mechanism moves along the second direction from the accommodating space to the avoidance space, and the first conveying mechanism moves along the first direction to the accommodating space. In this application, when the fire-fighting component is triggered and fire-fighting zone isolation is required, the second conveying mechanism can be moved from the accommodation space of the mobile mechanism to the avoidance space along the second direction, and the first conveying mechanism can be moved from the bottom of the fire-fighting component to the vacated accommodation space along the first direction, so that there are no objects in the space below the fire-fighting component, thereby effectively achieving fire-fighting zone isolation and improving the safety of material transportation; and because this application is to translate the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism as a whole, it can reduce the risk of material falling, thereby further improving the safety of material transportation; and moving the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism in two vertical directions can reduce the impact on the transportation line, making it more convenient to resume material transportation. Therefore, this application can improve the safety of material transportation and improve the reliability and work efficiency of transportation equipment.

[0007] In some embodiments, the first direction includes the transport direction of the conveying device, the second direction includes the vertical direction, and the avoidance space is located above the accommodation space. Through the above-mentioned method, the conveying device realizes the movement of the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism respectively by translation and lifting. This not only removes the first conveying mechanism from under the firefighting component, reducing the risk of material falling on the conveying device, but also reduces interference between the movement of the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism, and reduces the occupied area.

[0008] In some embodiments, the moving mechanism includes a housing and a first drive assembly. The housing forms an escape space and a receiving space. The first drive assembly is disposed within the housing and connected to the second conveying mechanism, and is configured to drive the second conveying mechanism to move in a second direction. By utilizing the housing and the first drive assembly as described above, the moving mechanism not only enables automated movement of the second conveying mechanism but also improves movement efficiency.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first drive assembly includes a first drive motor and a first belt. The first belt is mounted on and rotatably connected to the drive shaft of the first drive motor, and the other end is mounted on and rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft of the housing. The first belt is connected to the first connecting plate of the second conveying mechanism. In this manner, the first drive motor and the first belt realize the first drive assembly, which can achieve the lifting or translation of the second conveying mechanism. Not only is the structure simple and easy to implement, but it can also improve the cleanliness of the working environment of the conveying equipment, reduce dust generation, and facilitate cleaning.

[0010] In some embodiments, one of the first connecting plate and the housing is provided with a first slider, and the other of the first connecting plate and the housing is provided with a first slide rail, and the first slider and the first slide rail are slidably connected. In this manner, the first connecting plate and the housing are slidably connected via the first slider and the first slide rail, which not only provides a guide function, reduces deviation in the movement of the second conveying mechanism, thereby ensuring smoother operation of the second conveying mechanism, but also increases the movement speed of the second conveying mechanism.

[0011] In some embodiments, the conveying device further includes a second drive assembly, which is disposed on the moving mechanism and connected to the first conveying mechanism, and is configured to drive the first conveying mechanism to reciprocate in the first direction. In this manner, the second drive assembly provides a driving force for the reciprocating motion of the first conveying mechanism in the first direction, and enables automated movement of the first conveying mechanism.

[0012] In some embodiments, the second drive assembly includes a second drive motor and a second belt. The second belt is mounted on and rotatably connected to the drive shaft of the second drive motor, and its other end is mounted on and rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft of the moving mechanism. The second belt is connected to the first conveying mechanism via a second connecting plate. In this manner, the second drive motor and the second belt realize the second drive assembly, which can achieve translational movement of the first conveying mechanism. This not only has a simple structure and is easy to implement, but also improves the cleanliness of the working environment of the conveying equipment, reduces dust generation, and is also easier to clean.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first conveying mechanism includes two oppositely disposed extension plates, and the conveying device includes two oppositely disposed third connecting plates, both of which extend in a first direction, one of which is provided with a second slider, and the other of which is provided with a second slide rail, wherein the second slider is slidably connected to the second slide rail. In this manner, the extension plate and the third connecting plate are slidably connected to each other via the second slider and the second slide rail, which not only serves as a guide, reduces the movement deviation of the first conveying mechanism, and makes the first conveying mechanism operate more smoothly, but also increases the movement speed of the first conveying mechanism.

[0014] In some embodiments, a guide block is disposed in the middle of the bottom of the housing of the moving mechanism, and a guide rod extending in a first direction is disposed on the working surface, with the guide block passing through the guide rod. In this manner, the guide block and guide rod can serve as guides, reducing the risk of deviation in the movement of the first conveying mechanism, ensuring smoother operation of the first conveying mechanism, and also increasing the speed of the first conveying mechanism.

[0015] In some embodiments, the first conveying mechanism further includes two sets of sensors: one set of sensors is disposed on either side of an end of the first conveying mechanism remote from the second conveying mechanism, and the other set of sensors is disposed on either side of an end of the first conveying mechanism closer to the second conveying mechanism. In this manner, the two sets of sensors are used to determine whether the material is in a safe state, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the conveying equipment.

[0016] In some embodiments, the conveying equipment further includes a control component, which is signal-connected to the sensing component, the fire-fighting component, the first drive component in the mobile mechanism, and the second drive component; and / or, the conveying equipment further includes an energy supply component, which is electrically connected to the fire-fighting component, the first drive component in the mobile mechanism, and the second drive component. In the above manner, the control component can transport the material to a safe workstation, and then disconnect the horizontal movement to achieve automated control, and further reduce the risk of material falling during transportation. The energy supply component can reduce the risk of false fire-fighting disconnection due to power outages, reduce the problem of no power supply during firefighting, and drive the conveying equipment through the energy supply component.

[0017] In some embodiments, the first conveying mechanism includes a first conveying housing and at least one layer of first conveying components disposed on the first conveying housing, and the second conveying mechanism includes a first connecting plate and at least one layer of second conveying components disposed on the first connecting plate. In this manner, the first conveying housing serves as the framework for the at least one layer of first conveying components, thereby improving their stability and simplifying their structure; the first connecting plate serves as the framework for the at least one layer of second conveying components, thereby improving their stability and simplifying their structure.

[0018] In some embodiments, the first conveying housing rolls on the working surface. In this way, the first conveying housing rolls on the working surface, which not only makes the movement of the first conveying mechanism more labor-saving, but also improves the efficiency of the first conveying mechanism moving quickly into the lifting space.

[0019] In some embodiments, the first conveyor assembly includes a conveyor bracket, a third drive motor, and two third belts. The two third belts are connected to the ends of the conveyor bracket and rotate in a first direction. The drive shaft of the third drive motor drives the third belts. In this manner, the conveyor bracket, the third drive motor, and the two third belts interact to achieve material conveyance. This not only has a simple structure and is easy to implement, but also improves the cleanliness of the conveyor equipment's working environment, reduces dust generation, and is also easier to clean.

[0020] In some embodiments, the conveying equipment further includes a fire protection assembly. When the fire protection assembly is not activated, the first conveying mechanism is at least partially located below the fire protection assembly. In this manner, the conveying equipment, by providing the fire protection assembly, can achieve fire isolation in the event of an emergency, thereby reducing the extent of damage to materials, plant, equipment, personnel, etc., and improving the safety of materials, etc.

[0041] Firefighting systems are typically installed between adjacent warehouses. Conveyor equipment often runs beneath fire doors. When a fire breaks out in one warehouse, the fire doors in the firefighting system close to prevent the fire from spreading to the next warehouse and minimize damage. However, due to obstruction by conveyor equipment, the fire doors cannot be closed when a warehouse fire occurs.

[0042] In the prior art, the conveying equipment below the fire door is flipped over to prevent the conveying equipment from blocking the fire door from closing. However, there is a risk that materials will fall onto the working surface at the transport position on the conveying equipment, especially for high-risk material transportation.

[0043] Based on the above considerations, and in order to solve the technical problems existing in conveying equipment in the prior art, this application proposes a conveying device that translates the first and second conveying mechanisms as a whole, thereby reducing the risk of material dropping and further improving the safety of material conveying. Furthermore, moving the first and second conveying mechanisms in two perpendicular directions can reduce the impact on the conveying line, making it easier to resume material conveying. Therefore, this application can improve the safety of material conveying and enhance the reliability and efficiency of conveying equipment.

[0044] For the convenience of description, the following embodiments are described by taking a conveying device according to an embodiment of the present application as an example.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 1, 2, and 3. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a first embodiment of a conveying device in a first state according to one or more embodiments; Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first embodiment of the conveying device in a second state according to one or more embodiments; and Figure 3 is a perspective schematic diagram of an embodiment of a conveying device according to one or more embodiments. According to some embodiments of the present application, the conveying device 10 includes a first conveying mechanism 1, a second conveying mechanism 2, and a moving mechanism 3. The first conveying mechanism 1 is at least partially located below the firefighting assembly 20. The first conveying mechanism 1 is movable along a first direction X. The second conveying mechanism 2 is located to one side of the first conveying mechanism 1. The moving mechanism 3 forms a storage space 311 and an escape space 312 arranged along a second direction Y. The second conveying mechanism 2 is disposed in the storage space 311. The second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X. When the firefighting assembly 20 is triggered, the second conveying mechanism 2 moves along the second direction Y from the storage space 311 to the escape space 312. The first conveying mechanism 1 moves along the first direction X into the storage space 311.

[0046] Specifically, part or all of the first conveying mechanism 1 is located below the fire-fighting assembly 20. The first conveying mechanism 1 can move along the first direction X, that is, the position of the first conveying mechanism 1 can be changed according to actual needs. The first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 are both used to transport materials. That is, the material is transported from one end of the first conveying mechanism 1 to the second conveying mechanism 2, or the material is transported from one end of the second conveying mechanism 2 to the second conveying mechanism 2. The moving mechanism 3 is formed with a accommodating space 311 and an avoidance space 312. The accommodating space 311 and the avoidance space 312 are arranged along the second direction Y. The avoidance space 312 provides an avoidance position for the second conveying mechanism 2. The accommodating space 311 provides an accommodating position for the second conveying mechanism 2 and the first conveying mechanism 1.

[0047] When the fire-fighting component 20 is in the normally open state, the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 normally transport materials on the same horizontal plane. When the fire-fighting component 20 is triggered, the second conveying mechanism 2 moves along the second direction Y from the accommodating space 311 to the avoidance space 312 to make way for the first conveying mechanism 1. The first conveying mechanism 1 moves along the first direction X to the avoidance space 312, at which time the first conveying mechanism 1 is located at the initial position of the second conveying mechanism 2. There is no interference between the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2. When the fire-fighting component 20 changes from the triggered state to the normally open state, the first conveying mechanism 1 moves along the first direction X to the initial position of the first conveying mechanism 1. The second conveying mechanism 2 moves along the second direction Y to the initial position of the second conveying mechanism 2.

[0048] The second conveying mechanism 2 moves within the avoidance space 312 along the second direction Y. The second direction Y can be vertical, forward, or backward, so long as the first conveying mechanism 1 moves to the initial position of the second conveying mechanism 2, and the first and second conveying mechanisms 1 and 2 do not interfere with each other. In Figure 1 , the moving mechanism 3 and the second conveying mechanism 2 are located to the right of the firefighting assembly 20. In practice, the moving mechanism 3 and the second conveying mechanism 2 can also be located to the left of the firefighting assembly 20, without limitation.

[0049] When the firefighting assembly 20 is triggered and firefighting zone isolation is required, the second conveying mechanism 2 can be moved from the accommodation space 311 of the moving mechanism 3 to the avoidance space 312 along the second direction Y, and the first conveying mechanism 1 can be moved from below the firefighting assembly 20 to the already vacated accommodation space 311 along the first direction X, so that there are no items in the space below the firefighting assembly 20, thereby effectively achieving firefighting zone isolation and improving the safety of material transportation. Furthermore, the overall translation of the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 can reduce the risk of material falling, thereby further improving the safety of material transportation; and moving the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 in two perpendicular directions can reduce the impact on the conveying line, making it easier to resume material transportation. Therefore, the above method can improve the safety of material transportation and improve the reliability and work efficiency of the conveying equipment 10.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first direction X includes a transport direction of the conveying device 10 . The second direction Y includes a vertical direction. The avoidance space 312 is located above the accommodating space 311 .

[0051] Specifically, the second conveying mechanism 2 moves from the accommodating space 311 to the avoidance space 312, or from the avoidance space 312 to the accommodating space 311, thereby realizing vertical movement of the second conveying mechanism 2. The accommodating space 311 and the avoidance space 312 are arranged vertically. When the fire-fighting component 20 is triggered, the second conveying mechanism 2 moves from the accommodating space 311 to the avoidance space 312. The first conveying mechanism 1 moves to the accommodating space 311 along the first direction X. At this time, the second conveying mechanism 2 is located above the first conveying mechanism 1. The first conveying mechanism 1 moves by translation, and the second conveying mechanism 2 moves by lifting. That is, the conveying equipment 10 realizes the movement of the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 by translation and lifting respectively, which can not only remove the first conveying mechanism 1 under the fire-fighting component 20, reduce the risk of materials on the conveying equipment 10 falling, but also reduce the interference between the movements of the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2, and reduce the occupied area.

[0052] In other embodiments, the avoidance space 312 is located at the front or rear end of the accommodating space 311. That is, the avoidance space 312 and the accommodating space 311 are arranged front to back. When the fire-fighting component 20 is triggered, the second conveying mechanism 2 moves forward to the avoidance space 312, or the second conveying mechanism 2 moves backward to the avoidance space 312. The first conveying mechanism 1 moves along the first direction X to the accommodating space 311. At this time, the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 are arranged front to back. The first conveying mechanism 1 is connected by translation. The second conveying mechanism 2 is connected by translation. That is, the conveying equipment 10 realizes the movement of the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 respectively by two translation methods, which can not only remove the first conveying mechanism 1 under the fire-fighting component 20, but also reduce the risk of materials falling on the conveying equipment 10.

[0053] No matter the conveying device 10 is operated in a combination of translation and lifting, or a combination of both translation modes, there is no interference between the first conveying mechanism 1 in the accommodating space 311 and the second conveying mechanism 2 in the avoidance space 312 .

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present application, the moving mechanism 3 includes a housing 31 and a first drive assembly 32. The housing 31 defines an escape space 312 and a receiving space 311. The first drive assembly 32 is disposed within the housing 31 and connected to the second conveying mechanism 2, and is configured to drive the second conveying mechanism 2 to reciprocate along the second direction Y.

[0055] Specifically, the shell 31 is used to form the above-mentioned avoidance space 312. The shell 31 not only provides an installation position for the first drive assembly 32, but also provides certain support for the second conveying mechanism 2. The first drive assembly 32 provides driving force for the movement of the second conveying mechanism 2. The first drive assembly 32 can move the second conveying mechanism 2 along the second direction Y by means of a belt, a threaded screw, etc. Of course, the first drive assembly 32 can also be other structures, which are not limited here. By realizing the moving mechanism 3 through the above-mentioned shell 31 and the first drive assembly 32, not only can the automated movement of the second conveying mechanism 2 be realized, but also the movement efficiency can be improved.

[0056] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first drive assembly 32 includes a first drive motor (not shown) and a first belt 321. The first belt 321 is sleeved on and rotatably connected to the drive shaft of the first drive motor, and the other end of the first belt 321 is sleeved on and rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 33 of the housing 31. The first belt 321 is connected to the second conveying mechanism 2 via the first connecting plate 21.

[0057] Specifically, the first drive motor provides driving force for the first belt 321. The first drive motor can be installed on a work surface or at the bottom of the housing 31, etc., without limitation. The first rotating shaft 33 is rotatably connected to the housing 31. The first belt 321 is mounted on the drive shaft of the first drive motor and the first rotating shaft 33. The second conveying mechanism 2 includes a first connecting plate 21. The first belt 321 is connected to the first connecting plate 21 in the second conveying mechanism 2. The first connecting plate 21 is detachably connected to the first belt 321.

[0058] As the drive shaft of the first drive motor drives the first belt 321 to rotate, the first rotating shaft 33 also rotates, i.e., the first belt 321 drives the second conveying mechanism 2 to move in the second direction Y. The first drive motor and the first belt 321 implement the first drive assembly 32, which enables the second conveying mechanism 2 to be raised or lowered or translated. This not only simplifies the structure and is easy to implement, but also improves the cleanliness of the working environment of the conveying device 10, reduces dust generation, and facilitates cleaning.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 4, which is an enlarged schematic diagram of A in Figure 3. In conjunction with Figures 1 to 3, according to some embodiments of the present application, one of the first connecting plate 21 and the housing 31 is provided with a first slider 211. The other of the first connecting plate 21 and the housing 31 is provided with a first slide rail 313. The first slider 211 and the first slide rail 313 are slidably connected.

[0060] Specifically, the first connecting plate 21 and the shell 31 are slidably connected to each other through the first slider 211 and the first slide rail 313, which not only plays a guiding role, reduces the movement deviation of the second conveying mechanism 2, and makes the second conveying mechanism 2 run more smoothly, but also can speed up the movement speed of the second conveying mechanism 2.

[0061] In one embodiment, a first slider 211 is provided on a side of the first connecting plate 21 facing the housing 31. The first slider 211 is fixedly or detachably connected to the first connecting plate 21. A first slide rail 313 is provided on a side of the housing 31 facing the first connecting plate 21. The first slide rail 313 is fixedly or detachably connected to the first connecting plate 21. The first slider 211 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 313.

[0062] In another specific embodiment, a first slide rail 313 is provided on a side of the first connecting plate 21 facing the housing 31. The first slide rail 313 is fixedly or detachably connected to the first connecting plate 21. A first slider 211 is provided on a side of the housing 31 facing the first connecting plate 21. The first slider 211 is fixedly or detachably connected to the first connecting plate 21. The first slider 211 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 313.

[0063] According to some embodiments of the present application, the conveying device 10 further includes a second driving assembly 4. The second driving assembly 4 is disposed on the moving mechanism 3 and connected to the first conveying mechanism 1, and is used to drive the first conveying mechanism 1 to reciprocate along the first direction X.

[0064] Specifically, the second drive assembly 4 is disposed on the moving mechanism 3 or the working surface. The second drive assembly 4 provides driving force for the reciprocating motion of the first conveying mechanism 1 in the first direction X, and enables automated movement of the first conveying mechanism 1. The second drive assembly 4 can reciprocate the first conveying mechanism 1 in the first direction X using a belt, a threaded screw, or the like. Of course, the second drive assembly 4 can also have other structures, which are not limited here.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 5, which is an enlarged schematic diagram of B in Figure 3. In conjunction with Figures 1 to 3, according to some embodiments of the present application, the second drive assembly 4 includes a second drive motor 41 and a second belt 42. The second belt 42 is sleeved and rotatably connected to the drive shaft of the second drive motor 41, and the other end is sleeved and rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 34 of the moving mechanism 3. The second belt 42 is connected to the first conveying mechanism 1 via a second connecting plate 43.

[0066] Specifically, the second drive motor 41 provides driving force for the rotation of the second belt 42. The second drive motor 41 can be disposed on a work surface or at the bottom of the housing 31. The second rotating shaft 34 is rotatably connected to the housing 31. The second belt 42 is sleeved on the drive shaft of the second drive motor 41 and the second rotating shaft 34. The second connecting plate 43 serves as a connection. The second connecting plate 43 can connect the second belt 42 to the first conveying mechanism 1. One end of the second connecting plate 43 is detachably connected to the second belt 42. The other end of the second connecting plate 43 is detachably connected to the first conveying mechanism 1.

[0067] As the drive shaft of the second drive motor 41 drives the second belt 42 to rotate, the second rotating shaft 34 also rotates, i.e., the second belt 42 drives the second connecting plate 43 to cause the first conveying mechanism 1 to reciprocate along the first direction X. The second drive motor 41 and the second belt 42 are combined to form the second drive assembly 4, which enables translation of the first conveying mechanism 1. This not only simplifies the structure and is easy to implement, but also improves the cleanliness of the working environment of the conveying device 10, reduces dust generation, and facilitates cleaning.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 6, which is an enlarged schematic diagram of C in Figure 3. In combination with Figures 1 to 3, according to some embodiments of the present application, the first conveying mechanism 1 includes two oppositely arranged extension plates 124. The conveying device 10 includes two oppositely arranged third connecting plates 71. The extension plate 124 and the third connecting plate 71 are both extended along the first direction X. One of the extension plate 124 and the third connecting plate 71 is provided with a second slider (not shown in the figure). The other of the extension plate 124 and the third connecting plate 71 is provided with a second slide rail 711, and the second slider and the second slide rail 711 are slidably connected.

[0069] Specifically, the two extension plates 124 are disposed opposite each other. The two third connecting plates 71 are also disposed opposite each other. Both the two extension plates 124 and the two third connecting plates 71 extend along the first direction X. The extension plates 124 and the third connecting plates 71 are slidably connected via the second slider and the second slide rail 711. This not only provides guidance, reduces deviation in the movement of the first conveying mechanism 1, and ensures smoother operation of the first conveying mechanism 1, but also increases the speed of the first conveying mechanism 1.

[0070] In one embodiment, a second slider is provided on the side of the extension plate 124 facing the third connecting plate 71. The second slider is fixedly or detachably connected to the third connecting plate 71. A second slide rail 711 is provided on the side of the third connecting plate 71 facing the extension plate 124. The second slide rail 711 is fixedly or detachably connected to the third connecting plate 71. The second slider and the second slide rail 711 are in sliding connection.

[0071] In another specific embodiment, a second slide rail 711 is provided on the side of the extension plate 124 facing the third connecting plate 71. The second slide rail 711 is fixedly or detachably connected to the third connecting plate 71. A second slider is provided on the side of the third connecting plate 71 facing the extension plate 124. The second slider is fixedly or detachably connected to the third connecting plate 71. The second slider and the second slide rail 711 are slidably connected.

[0072] The third connecting plate 71 can be arranged on a working surface or the bottom of the housing 31. The working surface can be the ground, a work surface, etc. In addition, the two third extension plates 124 are respectively located at both sides of the bottom of the housing 31, so that the first conveying mechanism 1 can run more smoothly.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 7, which is an enlarged schematic diagram of D in Figure 3. In conjunction with Figures 1 to 3, according to some embodiments of the present application, a guide block 72 is provided in the middle of the bottom of the housing 31 of the moving mechanism 3. A guide rod 73 extending along the first direction X is provided on the working surface. The guide rod 73 passes through the guide block 72.

[0074] Specifically, the guide block 72 is fixed or removably disposed in the middle of the bottom of the housing 31. The guide rod 73 extends along the first direction X. When the first conveying mechanism 1 reciprocates along the first direction X, the guide block 72 and the guide rod 73 can serve as guides, reduce deviations in the movement of the first conveying mechanism 1, improve the operating stability of the first conveying mechanism 1, and also increase the movement speed of the first conveying mechanism 1.

[0075] In practice, to allow the guide rod 73 to extend along the first direction X, a fixing base 74 is provided on the working surface. One end of the guide rod 73 is fixed to the fixing base 74. The number of guide rods 73 can be one, two, three, or more, and is not limited thereto. Of course, in other embodiments, the guide block 72 can be provided on the working surface. The guide rod 73 is provided at the center of the bottom of the housing 31. The extension length of the guide rod 73 is not limited and can be determined based on actual conditions.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 8, which is an enlarged schematic diagram of E in Figure 3. In conjunction with Figures 1 to 3, according to some embodiments of the present application, the first conveying mechanism 1 further comprises two sets of sensors 125. One set of sensors 125 is disposed on both sides of an end of the first conveying mechanism 1 away from the second conveying mechanism 2. The other set of sensors 125 is disposed on both sides of an end of the first conveying mechanism 1 closer to the second conveying mechanism 2.

[0077] Specifically, the two groups of sensors 125 include four sensors 125. The sensors 125 have a sensing function. By respectively arranging the two groups of sensors 125 on both sides of the end of the first conveying mechanism 1 away from the second conveying mechanism 2 and on both sides of the end of the first conveying mechanism 1 close to the second conveying mechanism 2, that is, the two groups of sensors 125 are arranged at the front and rear ends of the first conveying mechanism 1 along the first direction X, to judge whether the material is in a safe state, the safety and reliability of the conveying equipment 10 can be improved. After the material is transported to the safe workstation, the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 are subjected to related movements to realize the disconnection of the translational movement, thereby reducing the risk of material falling during transportation. The above-mentioned sensor 125 can be a photoelectric sensor. Of course, it can also be other sensors, which are not limited here.

[0078] According to some embodiments of the present application, the conveying device 10 further includes a control component (not shown in the figure), which is signal-connected to the sensing component 125, the fire-fighting component 20, the first drive component 32 in the mobile mechanism 3, and the second drive component 4. And / or, the conveying device 10 further includes an energy supply component (not shown in the figure), which is electrically connected to the fire-fighting component 20, the first drive component 32 in the mobile mechanism 3, and the second drive component 4.

[0079] Specifically, when a fire occurs, the sensor 125 senses that the material is not in the safe position. The first conveying mechanism 1 initially positions the material in the safe position. The control component then controls the first drive assembly 32 to move the second conveying mechanism 2, while also controlling the second drive assembly 4 to move the first conveying mechanism 1. When the fire is over, the control component controls the first drive assembly 32 and the second drive assembly 4 to move, thereby reversing the first and second conveying mechanisms 1 and 2. This method allows the material to be transported to a safe position before being disconnected and moved horizontally, achieving automated control and further reducing the risk of material falling during transportation.

[0080] The energy supply component provides a certain amount of electrical energy. It acts on the conveying device 10, transporting materials to a safe workstation. It then activates the first and second conveying mechanisms 1 and 2, thereby disconnecting the conveying device 10. This approach reduces the risk of false firefighting disconnections due to power outages and mitigates the issue of power outages during firefighting operations. The energy supply component drives the conveying device 10. The energy supply component can be, for example, an uninterruptible power supply.

[0081] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first conveying mechanism 1 includes a first conveying housing 11 and at least one first conveying assembly 12 disposed on the first conveying housing 11 . The second conveying mechanism 2 includes a first connecting plate 21 and at least one second conveying assembly 22 disposed on the first connecting plate 21 .

[0082] Specifically, the first conveying shell 11 provides an installation position for at least one layer of the first conveying assembly 12. By using the first conveying shell 11 as the skeleton of at least one layer of the first conveying assembly 12, its stability can be improved, and the structure is simple. The number of first conveying assemblies 12 can be one layer, two layers, three layers, or more than three layers. As in the present embodiment, the number of first conveying assemblies 12 is two layers. The first connecting plate 21 provides an installation position for at least one layer of the second conveying assembly 22. By using the first connecting plate 21 as the skeleton of at least one layer of the second conveying assembly 22, its stability can be improved, and the structure is simple. The number of second conveying assemblies 22 can be one layer, two layers, three layers, or more than three layers. As in the present embodiment, the number of second conveying assemblies 22 is two layers.

[0083] Furthermore, by virtue of the aforementioned at least one layer of first conveying assembly 12 and at least one layer of second conveying assembly 22, the conveying apparatus 10 is adaptable to single-layer, double-layer, triple-layer, or more-layer logistics lines, satisfying various transportation modes and embracing a wide range of applications. When the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 are disconnected, the plurality of first conveying assemblies 12 and the plurality of second conveying assemblies 22 are all disconnected.

[0084] Furthermore, the structure of the first conveying assembly 12 and the structure of the second conveying assembly 22 can be the same, that is, the first conveying assembly 12 and the second conveying assembly 22 are independent and do not affect each other. By setting the structure of the first conveying assembly 12 and the structure of the second conveying assembly 22 to be consistent, consistency in material transportation is facilitated.

[0085] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first conveying housing 11 rolls on the working surface.

[0086] Specifically, the first conveying housing 11 rolls on the working surface, which not only makes the movement of the first conveying mechanism 1 more labor-saving, but also improves the efficiency of the first conveying mechanism 1 moving quickly into the avoidance space 312 .

[0087] Furthermore, a rolling element (not shown) is provided at the bottom of the first conveying housing 11. The first conveying housing 11 rolls on the working surface via the rolling element, facilitating rapid translation of the first conveying mechanism 1 as a whole. The specific structure and number of the rolling elements are not limited and can be determined based on actual needs.

[0088] In actual practice, when the second conveying mechanism 2 moves back and forth in the avoidance space 312 , it may also be considered to provide a rolling element on the second conveying mechanism 2 to facilitate rapid overall translation of the second conveying mechanism 2 .

[0089] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first conveying assembly 12 includes a conveying bracket 121, a third drive motor 122, and two third belts 123. The two third belts 123 are connected to both ends of the conveying bracket 121 and rotate along the first direction X. The drive shaft of the third drive motor 122 drives the third belts 123 respectively.

[0090] Specifically, the conveyor bracket 121 provides a mounting location for a third drive motor 122 and two third belts 123. The first conveyor assembly 12 is mounted on the first conveyor housing 11 via the conveyor bracket 121. One third belt 123 rotates along the first direction X at one end of the conveyor bracket 121. Another third belt 123 rotates along the first direction X at the other end of the conveyor bracket 121. The third drive motor 122 provides driving force for the rotation of the two third belts 123. The third drive motor 122, via its drive shaft, drives the two third belts 123 to rotate simultaneously along the first direction X at the conveyor bracket 121, thereby ensuring that the two third belts 123 rotate at the same speed.

[0091] Through the interaction of the above-mentioned conveying bracket 121, the third drive motor 122, and the two third belts 123, the material can be transported. Not only is the structure simple and easy to implement, but it can also improve the cleanliness of the working environment of the conveying equipment 10, reduce dust generation, and is also easy to clean. Among them, the second conveying assembly 22 also includes the above-mentioned conveying bracket 121, the third drive motor 122, and the two third belts 123, etc., and the specific details are not repeated here. When the sensor 125 senses that the material is in an unsafe state, the third drive motor 122 and the two third belts 123 work together to drive the material to the installation station.

[0092] In some embodiments, one set of sensors 125 is disposed on both sides of the end of the conveying bracket 121 away from the second conveying mechanism 2. Another set of sensors 125 is disposed on both sides of the end of the conveying bracket 121 near the second conveying mechanism 2. By disposing the two sets of sensors 125 on both sides of the end of the conveying bracket 121 away from the second conveying mechanism 2 and on both sides of the end of the conveying bracket 121 near the second conveying mechanism 2, respectively, that is, the two sets of sensors 125 are disposed at the front and rear ends of the conveying bracket 121 along the first direction X, it is possible to determine whether the material is in a safe state.

[0093] Furthermore, both sides of the conveying bracket 121 away from the second conveying mechanism 2 and the sides of the conveying bracket 121 close to the second conveying mechanism 2 are provided with sensing mounting members 75. The sensing mounting member 75 is recessed into a sensing recessed groove 751 on one side facing the conveying bracket 121. The sensing member 125 is disposed in the recessed groove.

[0094] According to some embodiments of the present application, the conveying device 10 further includes a fire-fighting component 20. When the fire-fighting component 20 is not triggered, the first conveying mechanism 1 is at least partially located below the fire-fighting component 20.

[0095] Specifically, a portion or all of the first conveying mechanism 1 is located below the fire protection assembly 20. By providing the fire protection assembly 20, the conveying equipment 10 can achieve fire protection isolation in the event of an emergency, thereby reducing the degree of damage to materials, plant, equipment, personnel, etc., and improving the safety of materials, etc.

[0096] Furthermore, the firefighting assembly 20 includes a firefighting motor (not shown) and a firefighting door 201. The firefighting motor drives the firefighting door 201. The firefighting door 201 can be a lifting roller shutter door or a sliding door. If the firefighting door 201 is a lifting roller shutter door, the firefighting motor drives the lifting roller shutter door to roll up or unfold.

[0097] Please refer to Figures 9 and 10. Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a second embodiment of a conveying device in a first state according to one or more embodiments; Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second embodiment of a conveying device in a second state according to one or more embodiments. In conjunction with Figures 1 to 3, in some embodiments, the conveying device 10 further includes a third conveying mechanism 5. The third conveying mechanism 5 is located at the end of the first conveying mechanism 1 facing away from the second conveying mechanism 2. And / or, the conveying device 10 further includes a fourth conveying mechanism 6. The fourth conveying mechanism 6 is located at the end of the second conveying mechanism 2 facing away from the first conveying mechanism 1.

[0098] In one specific embodiment, the third conveying mechanism 5 is located at the end of the first conveying mechanism 1 facing away from the second conveying mechanism 2. The first conveying mechanism 1 is located between the third conveying mechanism 5 and the second conveying mechanism 2. The third conveying mechanism 5, the first conveying mechanism 1, and the second conveying mechanism 2 are located in the same plane and can be used to transport materials. When the conveying equipment 10 includes the third conveying mechanism 5, the mobile mechanism 3 can be one. For example, the mobile mechanism 3 can be located at the position of the second conveying mechanism 2. Alternatively, the mobile mechanism 3 can also be located at the position of the third conveying mechanism 5. Alternatively, the mobile mechanism 3 includes two, one located at the second conveying mechanism 2 and the other located at the third conveying mechanism 5.

[0099] In another specific embodiment, the fourth conveying mechanism 6 is located at an end of the second conveying mechanism 2 away from the first conveying mechanism 1. The second conveying mechanism 2 is located between the first conveying mechanism 1 and the fourth conveying mechanism 6. The first conveying mechanism 1, the second conveying mechanism 2, and the fourth conveying mechanism 6 are located in the same plane and can be used to transport materials.

[0100] In other embodiments, the conveying apparatus 10 also includes a third conveying mechanism 5 and a fourth conveying mechanism 6. The third conveying mechanism 5, the first conveying mechanism 1, the second conveying mechanism 2, and the fourth conveying mechanism 6 are located on the same plane and can be used to transport materials. The structures of the third conveying mechanism 5 and the fourth conveying mechanism 6 are similar to those of the first conveying mechanism 1 and are not further described here.

[0101] Finally, in a specific application scenario, the conveying equipment 10 includes a first conveying mechanism 1, a second conveying mechanism 2, a third conveying mechanism 5, a fourth conveying mechanism 6, and a moving mechanism 3. The first conveying mechanism 1 is located between the second conveying mechanism 2 and the third conveying mechanism 5. The second conveying mechanism 2 is located between the first conveying mechanism 1 and the fourth conveying mechanism 6. The second conveying mechanism 2 is located below the avoidance space 312. The third conveying mechanism 5, the first conveying mechanism 1, the second conveying mechanism 2, and the fourth conveying mechanism 6 are located on the same plane and are used to transport materials. When the sensor 125 on the first conveying mechanism 1 senses that the material is in an unsafe state, the sensor 125 transmits a signal to the control component, which controls the first conveying assembly 12 to transport the material to a safe position. When the sensor 125 senses that the material has reached the safe position, the sensor 125 transmits the signal to the control component. The control component controls the first drive assembly 32 to lift the second conveying mechanism 2 above the avoidance space 312. Simultaneously, the control component controls the second drive assembly 4 to translate the first conveying mechanism 1 below the avoidance space 312. At this point, the second conveying mechanism 2 is located above the first conveying mechanism 1. Then, the control part triggers the firefighting assembly 20 to descend. The above-mentioned conveying device 10 adopts a translation mode rather than a flip mode, which can reduce the risk of materials falling during transportation.

[0102] The energy supply component is electrically connected to the firefighting assembly 20, the first drive assembly 32 of the moving mechanism 3, and the second drive assembly 4. In the event of a fire, the energy supply component provides power to the conveying device 10. Once the fire is extinguished, the control component controls the firefighting assembly 20 to ascend, the second drive assembly 4 to reverse the first conveying mechanism 1, and the first drive assembly 32 to reverse the second conveying mechanism 2.
