Further, a second main conveyor belt 4 connected with the reflow oven 1 and a second auxiliary conveyor belt 5 connected with the second main conveyor belt 4 are sequentially started at the same time, and then the rest second auxiliary conveyor belts 5 are sequentially started according to a preset time interval; the second main conveyor belt 4 is distributed in parallel with the first main conveyor belt 2, and the second auxiliary conveyor belt 5 and the first auxiliary conveyor belt 3 are respectively distributed on the non-adjacent sides of the second main conveyor belt 4 and the first main conveyor belt 2; wherein the predetermined time interval is a time period such that products transferred onto the second main conveyor belt 4 on the second sub-conveyor belt 5 activated later do not collide with products transferred onto the second main conveyor belt 4 on the second sub-conveyor belt 5 activated earlier; and only one product is always being transported on said second secondary conveyor 5. The design is that two conveyor belts can be arranged in the reflow oven 1, in order to fully utilize the operation space at the side of the reflow oven 1 and improve the production efficiency, the second main conveyor belt 4 connected with the first main conveyor belt 2 in parallel is arranged on the production line, and of course, when only one production line is needed, the second main conveyor belt 4 is closed.
Further, the conveying speed of the second main conveyor belt 4 and the second auxiliary conveyor belt 5 are the same, the ratio of the distance between the joints of the two adjacent second auxiliary conveyor belts 5 and the second main conveyor belt 4 to the length of the second auxiliary conveyor belt 5 is a non-integer ratio, and the predetermined time interval is smaller than the conveying time of the product on the second auxiliary conveyor belt 5.
