Referring to fig. 1, a conveying apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is used for conveying materials to corresponding stations, and includes a conveying line and a driving assembly.

The conveying line comprises a conveying section 10 passing through a station, wherein the conveying section 10 comprises a material section 101 to be fed, a material feeding section 102 and a first material discharging section 103 which are sequentially arranged from upstream to downstream. The station is located between the feeding subsection 102 and the first discharging subsection 103, so that materials can be buffered on the section 101 to be fed, the section 101 to be fed can convey the materials on the section to be fed to the feeding subsection 102, and the section 102 to be fed can convey the materials on the section to the station, so that the materials can be cleaned or dried at the station. When the material is processed at the workstation, the first discharge subsection 103 may transport the material downstream for further processing downstream.

The driving assembly includes a first driving unit 20, and the first driving unit 20 includes a to-be-fed driving mechanism 201, a fed driving mechanism 202, and a first discharged driving mechanism 203. The material to be fed driving mechanism 201 is in transmission connection with the material to be fed subsection 101 to provide power for the material to be fed subsection 101 to be fed to the material feeding subsection 102, that is, the material to be fed driving mechanism 201 is used for driving the material to be fed subsection 101 to feed the material thereon to the material feeding subsection 102. The feeding driving mechanism 202 is in transmission connection with the feeding subsection 102 to provide power for the feeding subsection 102 to convey the material thereon to the stations, that is, the feeding driving mechanism 202 is used for driving the feeding subsection 102 to convey the material thereon to the stations downstream thereof.

In the conveying device, the material to be fed section 101, the material feeding section 102 and the first material discharging section 103 of the conveying section 10 are respectively and independently controlled by the material to be fed driving mechanism 201, the material feeding driving mechanism 202 and the first material discharging driving mechanism 203, and the material to be fed section 101, the material feeding section 102 and the first material discharging section 103 are not affected in conveying materials respectively. That is to say, the material to be fed section 101 can buffer the material, only after the material is conveyed to the station by the material feeding section 102, the material to be fed section 101 is controlled to convey another material to the material feeding section 102, and only after the material on the station is conveyed by the first material discharging section 103, the material feeding section 102 is controlled to convey another material to the station again. Therefore, the process of inputting and outputting the materials to and from the station of the path of the conveying section 10 does not affect the conveying action of other sections of the conveying line, so that the input and output of the materials to and from the station and the input and output of the materials to and from other stations do not affect each other, and the production efficiency is improved.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the conveying device includes at least two stations, the conveying line includes at least two sections of the conveying sections 10 sequentially arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying line, the at least two sections of the conveying sections 10 correspond to the at least two stations one by one, and each station is located between the feeding section 102 and the first discharging section 103 of the corresponding conveying section 10. The driving assembly comprises at least two first driving units 20, the at least two first driving units 20 correspond to the at least two sections of conveying sections 10 one by one, and therefore the material to be fed driving mechanism 201, the material feeding driving mechanism 202 and the first material discharging driving mechanism 203 of each first driving unit 20 respectively and independently drive the material to be fed section 101, the material feeding section 102 and the first material discharging section 103 of the corresponding conveying section 10. Therefore, each station utilizes the corresponding conveying section 10 to independently input and output materials without mutual influence, and the production efficiency is further ensured.

In a specific embodiment, the conveying line further includes a transition section 11 arranged between two adjacent conveying sections 10, and the transition section 11 includes a first buffer subsection 111 and a second discharge subsection 112 arranged sequentially from upstream to downstream. The drive assembly further comprises a second drive unit 21, the second drive unit 21 comprising a first buffer drive 211 and a second outfeed drive 212. The first buffer driving mechanism 211 is in transmission connection with the first buffer subsection 111 to provide power for the first buffer subsection 111 to convey materials thereon to the second discharge subsection 112, that is, the first buffer driving mechanism 211 drives the first buffer subsection 111 to convey materials to the second discharge subsection 112. The second discharge driving mechanism 212 is in transmission connection with the second discharge sub-section 112 to provide power for the second discharge sub-section 112 to convey the material thereon downstream, that is, the second discharge driving mechanism 212 is used for driving the second discharge sub-section 112 to convey the material downstream. Therefore, the transition section 11 can be used as a preset redundant section, so that a user can conveniently increase stations according to process requirements, and the compatibility of the conveying device is improved. It is understood that the transition section 11 is not essential and can be designed according to specific situations, and is not limited herein.

In the embodiment, the conveying line further comprises an input section 12 at the upstream end, the input section 12 is used for receiving upstream incoming materials, and the received materials are conveyed to a material-to-be-fed subsection 101 of the conveying section 10 adjacent to the input section 12. Further, the input section 12 is provided with a material detector for detecting whether material passes through. Alternatively, the detector may be a photosensor or a proximity sensor.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the conveying device has two stations, namely a cleaning station a for disposing the cleaning device 30 and a drying station b located downstream of the cleaning station a for disposing the drying device 40. Therefore, the material to be fed in the material feeding section 101 of the conveying section 10 of the cleaning station a is input into the cleaning station a, and after the material is cleaned by the cleaning device 30, the material in the cleaning station a is conveyed downstream by the first material discharging section 103 of the conveying section 10. The material to be fed section 101 of the conveying section 10 corresponding to the drying station b buffers the cleaned material, and conveys the buffered material to the material feeding section 102 when needed, the material feeding section 102 conveys the material to the drying station b, and after the drying device 40 dries the material, the first material discharging section 103 of the conveying section 10 conveys the material of the drying station b downstream.

Specifically, in the embodiment, the conveying line further includes a cold air drying output section 23 located at the downstream end of the conveying line, and the cold air drying output section 23 includes a second buffer sub-section 131, a cold air drying sub-section 132, and an output sub-section 133, which are sequentially arranged from upstream to downstream.

The driving assembly further includes a third driving unit 23, and the third driving unit 23 includes a second buffer driving mechanism 231, a cold air drying driving mechanism 232, and an output driving mechanism 233. The second buffer driving mechanism 231 is in transmission connection with the second buffer subsection 131 to provide power for the second buffer subsection 131 to convey the material to the cold air drying subsection 132, so that the material is dried on the cold air drying subsection 132 by cold air, and the drying effect is further improved. The cold air drying driving mechanism 232 is in transmission connection with the cold air drying subsection 132 to provide power for conveying the materials to the output subsection 133 by the cold air drying subsection 132. The output driving mechanism 233 is in transmission connection with the output subsegment 133 to provide power for the output subsegment 133 to convey materials downstream.

In the embodiment, the conveying apparatus further includes a stopping mechanism 70 disposed at the downstream end of the output subsection 133, and the stopping mechanism 70 is used for stopping the material at the downstream end of the output subsection 133 to prevent the material from falling from the downstream end of the output subsection 133.

Referring to fig. 1 and 3 together, in some embodiments, the conveying device further includes a blocking mechanism 60 disposed corresponding to the drying station b, and the blocking mechanism 60 is configured to controllably block downstream movement of at least a portion of the material at the drying station b. So, when the head of material leaves drying station b, and the afterbody of material still is located drying station b, steerable fender stop gear 60 keeps out this material for this material pause is carried downstream, is convenient for carry out abundant drying to the tail end of material. After the tail end of the material is sufficiently dried, the blocking mechanism 60 can be controlled to release the blocking of the material, so that the material can smoothly move downstream.

In one embodiment, the blocking mechanism 60 includes a bracket 61, a blocking member 62, and a blocking actuator 63. The stopping member 62 is movably connected to the bracket 61, and the stopping driving member 63 is disposed on the bracket 61 and is in transmission connection with the stopping member 62 to drive the stopping member 62 to move relative to the bracket 61. The stopping piece 62 comprises a stopping position and an avoiding position in the process of moving relative to the bracket 61, and when the stopping piece 62 is located at the stopping position, the stopping piece 62 is abutted against at least part of the material located at the drying station b, so that the material is prevented from moving further downstream. When the stop piece 62 is located at the avoiding position, the stop piece 62 is separated from the material at least partially located at the drying station b, and the material is prevented from being obstructed in moving. Alternatively, the gear stop driver 63 may be a cylinder.

Further, the blocking mechanism 60 further comprises a blocking roller 64 rotatably mounted to the blocking member 62, the blocking roller 64 being adapted to contact the material when the blocking member 62 is in the blocking position. When the blocking member 62 is located at the avoiding position, the blocking roller 64 moves to a position separated from the material along with the blocking member 62, thereby avoiding blocking the movement of the material. Therefore, the stop roller 64 is in contact with the material to be stopped, so that rolling friction is generated between the stop roller 64 and the material in the process that the stop member 62 moves from the stop position to the avoidance position, and the risk of scratching the material is reduced. Alternatively, the stopper 62 may be a sliding shaft, and may be mounted to the bracket 61 by a linear bearing such that the stopper 62 is movable relative to the bracket 61.

Referring to fig. 1 and 4 together, in an embodiment of the present invention, the conveying device further includes a toggle mechanism 50, where the toggle mechanism 50 is disposed corresponding to a station (i.e., a cleaning station or a drying station) and is configured to push the material on the feeding section 102 of the corresponding conveying section 10 to the corresponding station, so as to avoid a situation that the material cannot move downstream due to an external force applied to the material during the process of entering the station (e.g., the material at the cleaning station a and the drying station b is subjected to a strong wind for cleaning and drying), and improve the operation stability and compatibility of the conveying device. It should be noted that the toggle mechanism 50 may include a plurality of toggle mechanisms, and each toggle mechanism 50 is disposed in one-to-one correspondence with each station, so as to ensure that the material can smoothly enter each station. Of course, the toggle mechanism 50 may be disposed only at a part of the stations according to practical situations, and is not limited herein.

Specifically, in the embodiment, the toggle mechanism 50 includes a driving structure 51 and a toggle member 52 connected to the driving structure 51, and the driving structure 51 is configured to drive the toggle member 52 to move, so that the toggle member 52 pushes the material located on the corresponding station to move downstream. More specifically, the driving structure 51 is configured to drive the toggle piece 52 to move along a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the first direction is parallel to the conveying direction of the material, and the second direction is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the material. It should be noted that the conveying direction of the material here refers to the direction in which the conveying section 10 corresponding to the station conveys the material. Thus, when the material needs to be stirred to enter the corresponding station, the driving structure 51 drives the stirring piece 52 to move along the second direction, so that the stirring piece 52 is located on the conveying path of the material and located on the upstream side of the material, and then the driving structure 51 drives the stirring piece 52 to move along the conveying direction of the material, so that the material enters the station under the pushing of the stirring piece 52. Specifically, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the first direction is a left-right direction, and the second direction is an up-down direction.

Further, the driving structure 51 includes a first driving member 511, a mounting bracket 512, a connecting member 514, and a second driving member 513, wherein the mounting bracket 512 is mounted on the first driving member 511, the first driving member 511 is used for driving the mounting bracket 512 to move along a first direction, the connecting member 514 is movably connected to the mounting bracket 512 along a second direction, and the toggle member 52 is mounted on the connecting member 514, so that the toggle member 52 moves along the second direction with the connecting member 514. The second driving member 513 is disposed on the mounting bracket 512 and is in transmission connection with the connecting member 514 to drive the connecting member 514 to move along the second direction relative to the mounting bracket 512. Thus, when the toggle member 52 needs to move along the first direction, the first driving member 511 drives the mounting frame 512 to move along the first direction, so as to drive the toggle member 52 to move along the first direction. When the toggle member 52 needs to move in the second direction, the second driving member 513 drives the connecting member 514 to move in the second direction, so as to drive the toggle member 52 to move in the second direction. Alternatively, the first driving member 511 may be a pneumatic cylinder, a linear module, an electric cylinder, etc., as long as the driving of the mounting frame 512 in the first direction can be achieved, and is not limited herein. The second driving member 513 may be a pneumatic cylinder, a linear module, an electric cylinder, etc., as long as the driving member 514 can be driven to move along the second direction, and is not limited herein.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2 together, in the embodiment of the present invention, the conveyor line further includes a frame, and each conveyor segment 10 is mounted on the frame. The material section 101 to be fed of each conveying section 10 comprises a plurality of driving rollers 1011, the driving rollers 1011 are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction, so that the materials are supported and driven to move along the conveying direction under the rolling action of the driving rollers 1011, and the materials are conveyed. Every two adjacent driving rollers 1011 of the material segment 101 to be fed are in driving connection so as to enable the two driving rollers to rotate synchronously. Any driving roller 1011 of the material section 101 to be fed is in transmission connection with the material driving mechanism 201 to be fed, so that the driving roller 1011 is driven to rotate by the power provided by the material driving mechanism 201 to be fed, and each driving roller 1011 of the material section 101 to be fed is driven to rotate synchronously. Alternatively, every two adjacent driving rollers 1011 of the material segment 101 to be fed can be in driving connection through a belt or a gear set. The to-be-fed driving mechanism 201 may be a motor.

Further, both sides of the material section 101 to be fed and the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction are provided with a plurality of auxiliary wheels 1012, and the auxiliary wheels 1012 on both sides are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction, so that the material can move along the conveying direction on the plurality of driving rollers 1011 under the guiding action of the auxiliary wheels 1012, the material is prevented from deviating, and the material trend is ensured to be consistent. It is understood that the number of the driving rollers 1011 and the number of the auxiliary wheels 1012 of the material-to-be-fed sub-section 101 may be designed according to a specific conveying distance, and is not limited herein.

It should be noted that the material feeding section 102 and the first material discharging section 103 of each conveying section 10 are similar to the material to be fed section 101 in structure, and therefore are not described herein again. The first buffer subsection 111 and the second discharge subsection 112 of the transition section 11 are similar to the structure of the material to be fed subsection 101, and therefore are not described herein again. The input section 12 is similar to the structure of the material-to-be-fed section 101, and therefore, the detailed description thereof is omitted. The second buffer sub-section 131, the cold air drying sub-section 132 and the output sub-section 133 of the cold air drying output section 23 are similar to the structure of the material to be fed sub-section 101, and therefore, the detailed description thereof is omitted. It should be further noted that, when the high-temperature steam is used to clean the material on the cleaning station a, the driving rollers 1011 of the feeding section 102 and the first discharging section 103 of the conveying section 10 corresponding to the cleaning station a are in transmission connection by using a gear set, so that the damage of the high-temperature steam to the belt when the belt is in transmission connection is avoided.

It should be noted that, because a layout device (e.g., a cleaning device or a drying device) is required at the station, a distance between the feeding sub-section 102 and the first discharging sub-section 103 on two sides of the station is large, and a situation that the material cannot pass through smoothly may occur. In order to enable the materials to smoothly pass through the stations, in one embodiment, a transition wheel may be disposed at an end of each of the feeding section 102 and the first discharging section 103 of each of the conveying sections 10, which faces each other, to ensure that the materials can more smoothly move from the feeding section 102 to the first discharging section 103 through the corresponding station.

Further, the material detector can be disposed in the material-to-be-fed subsection 101, the material-to-be-fed subsection 102, and the first material-to-be-discharged subsection 103 of each conveying section 10, and is used for detecting whether a material passes through the material detector. The second buffer subsection 131, the cold air drying subsection 132 and the output subsection 133 of the cold air drying output section 23 may also be provided with a material detector for detecting whether a material passes through. It should be noted that, when the material on the cleaning station a is cleaned by using high-temperature steam, the material detectors mounted on the material inlet subsection 102 and the material outlet subsection 103 of the conveying section 10 corresponding to the cleaning station a preferably use proximity sensors to ensure that the high-temperature resistance and the corrosion resistance meet the requirements.

Based on the conveying device, the invention further provides a cleaning device, which comprises the conveying device in any one of the embodiments.

Specifically, the cleaning apparatus further includes a cleaning device 30 and a drying device 40. The conveying device comprises two stations, wherein the two stations are respectively a cleaning station a for arranging the cleaning device 30 and a drying station b located at the downstream of the cleaning station a, the drying station b is used for arranging the drying device 40, and the drying device 40 is used for drying materials on the drying station b. It can be understood that the conveying line comprises two conveying sections 10 arranged in sequence along the conveying direction, the two conveying sections 10 correspond to the cleaning station a and the drying station b one by one, and the cleaning station a and the drying station b are respectively located between the feeding section 102 and the first discharging section 103 of the corresponding conveying section 10. The driving assembly comprises two first driving units 20, and the two first driving units 20 are arranged corresponding to the two conveying sections 10 one by one.

It should also be noted that the above material may be a lithium battery after a liquid injection process, and certainly may also be other products that need to be circulated at different stations, which is not limited herein.
