It should be noted that the third direction is a plane perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction, that is, the third direction is a vertical direction,

in this embodiment, the power source module 4 is disposed on the fixing plate 1 and connected to the stroke block 32, so that the power source module 4 drives the stroke block 32 to move along the second direction, and then the stroke block 32 triggers the baffle 311 and the cam roller 312 of the roller guide assembly 31 to move along the third direction, so as to release the rotation limitation on the conveying module 2, thereby switching the material conveying state from the first direction to the second direction.

Compare in the traditional track steering mechanism that needs a plurality of power supplies, the track steering mechanism that this application embodiment provided only needs a power supply module 4, can save space, reduction in production cost greatly. Meanwhile, on one hand, the power source module 4 can push the material to switch the material from the state of being conveyed along the first direction to be conveyed along the second direction, on the other hand, the power source module 4 drives the stroke block 32 to move along the second direction to trigger the baffle 311 and the cam roller 312 of the roller guide assembly 31 to move along the third direction, so that the steering limit on the conveying module 2 is relieved, the two actions of pushing the material and avoiding the material are synchronously and smoothly carried out, and the working efficiency can be greatly improved.

In some embodiments, the cam roller 312 includes two rollers disposed opposite to each other, the baffle 311 is provided with a mounting plate, the two rollers are mounted on the mounting plate through a rotating shaft, and the two rollers are respectively disposed on two sides of the mounting plate, so that the two rollers can move along the stroke slot 321 on the stroke block 32, thereby adjusting the position of the baffle 311 in the third direction.

It should be noted that the height of the top surfaces of the two rollers should not be lower than the height of the top surface of the baffle 311. Wherein, baffle 311 is L type baffle 311, and baffle 311 includes horizontal panel and vertical panel, and wherein, the horizontal panel is used for installing cam roller 312, and cam roller 312 installs in the inboard of baffle 311, stretches into the dodging groove 23 of conveying module 2 through vertical panel to it is spacing to form to turn to the material. That is, the height of the top surfaces of the two rollers should be greater than or equal to the height of the top surface of the vertical panel.

In some embodiments, the stroke groove 321 is provided at the bottom of the stroke block 32, the stroke groove 321 includes at least two planes with different heights, and the heights of the at least two planes are tapered in a direction approaching the fixing plate.

Specifically, the stroke groove 321 includes a first plane 3211, a second plane 3212, and a transition plane 3213, the first plane 3211 and the second plane 3212 are transitionally connected by the transition plane 3213, both the first plane 3211 and the second plane 3212 are horizontal planes, and a height of the first plane 3211 is greater than a height of the second plane 3212. The transition surface 3213 includes, but is not limited to, a slope, a curved surface, and any other structure that facilitates movement of the cam roller 312 from the first plane 3211 to the second plane 3212.

It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the blocking plate 311 exits the escape groove 23 of the conveying module 2, the height difference between the first plane 3211 and the second plane 3212 is greater than or equal to the size of the portion of the blocking plate 311 exposed from the conveying module 2.

In other words, when the cam roller 312 moves from the first plane 3211 to the second plane 3212, the cam roller 312 and the stopper 311 are lowered in the third direction by a size sufficient to allow the stopper 311 to be exposed from the transport module 2 to retreat into the escape groove 23, thereby releasing the rotation restriction of the transport module 2.

Of course, a slope may be provided at the bottom of the stroke block 32 according to actual needs. The height of the inclined surface is tapered in a direction close to the fixing plate 1. Then, the cam roller 312 and the shutter 311 are lowered in the third direction by the slope with the movement of the stroke block 32, so that the shutter 311 exits the transfer module 2.

In some embodiments, the conveying module 2 includes a first rail 21 and a second rail 22, the first rail 21 and the second rail 22 convey the material in a first direction and a second direction, respectively, the first rail 21 is perpendicular to the second rail 22, the first rail 21 and the second rail 22 are located in a horizontal plane, and the first rail 21 and/or the second rail 22 are provided with an avoiding groove 23, the avoiding groove 23 cooperates with the baffle 311 to block the material from entering the second rail 22 after the baffle 311 extends out of the avoiding groove 23, and the turning limit between the first rail 21 and the second rail 22 is released after the baffle 311 retracts out of the avoiding groove 23.

Of course, the avoiding groove 23 may be disposed at the intersection of the first rail 21 and the second rail 22 or directly disposed on the second rail 22 according to actual needs.

In this embodiment, the avoiding groove 23 is disposed on the second rail 22, and a dimension of the avoiding groove 23 along the first direction is smaller than a dimension of the second rail 22 along the first direction.

Meanwhile, the avoiding groove 23 is matched with the vertical panel of the baffle 311 in shape and size, preferably, the avoiding groove 23 and the vertical panel are both in a rectangular structure, and the size of the avoiding groove 23 is slightly larger than that of the vertical panel, so that the vertical panel can be guaranteed to move smoothly in the avoiding groove 23.

It can be understood that the cam roller 312 is abutted with the stroke groove 321 of the stroke block 32, so that in the process of back and forth movement of the stroke block 32, the cam roller 312 moves up and down along the stroke groove 321 of the stroke block 32, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the position of the baffle 311 in the third direction, blocking the material from entering the second track 22 after the baffle 311 extends out of the avoiding groove 23, and releasing the steering limit between the first track 21 and the second track 22 after the baffle 311 retracts back to the avoiding groove 23, so as to facilitate the material to enter the second track 22 from the first track 21.

It should be noted that the conveying module 2 is a belt conveying module, and specifically, the first rail 21 is used for conveying the material in the first direction by a belt, and the second rail 22 is used for conveying the material in the second direction by a belt.

In some embodiments, the roller guide assembly 31 further includes a first guide assembly 313, the first guide assembly 313 is disposed on the fixing plate 1 and connected to the blocking plate 311, and the first guide assembly 313 is used for ensuring the blocking plate 311 moves in the third direction. That is, the first guide member 313 serves to guide the flapper 311 during movement in the third direction, thereby preventing the flapper 311 from shifting during movement in the third direction.

Specifically, the first guiding assembly 313 includes two first optical axes 3131 and two first linear bearings 3132, the two first optical axes 3131 are both disposed along the third direction and spaced apart from each other, the two first optical axes 3131 are respectively matched with the two first linear bearings 3132, and the two first linear bearings 3132 are disposed on the fixing plate 1.

It should be noted that the linear bearing is a linear motion system, and is used for matching a linear stroke with an optical axis. Because the bearing ball is in point contact with the bearing outer sleeve, the steel ball rolls with the minimum friction resistance, so that the linear bearing has small friction and is relatively stable, does not change along with the speed of the bearing, and can obtain stable linear motion with high sensitivity and high precision.

Of course, the first guiding assembly 313 may be implemented by using a guide cylinder and a guide rod, and preferably using an optical shaft and a linear bearing.

In this way, the moving direction of the blocking plate 311 is controlled and protected by the linear bearing, the first optical axis 3131 is matched with the corresponding first linear bearing 3132, that is, the first optical axis 3131 can move along the axial direction of the corresponding first linear bearing 3132, and the horizontal panel of the blocking plate 311 is fixed to the top ends of the two first optical axes 3131, so that the blocking plate 311 and the cam roller 312 thereon can move along the third direction under the guiding action of the two first optical axes 3131.

In addition, the fixed plate 1 further includes a bottom plate at the bottom, and the bottom plate is fixedly mounted on other mechanisms of the material conveying device through a detachable connecting piece (such as a screw or a bolt).

In some embodiments, the elastic elements 314 are disposed on both the first optical axes 3131, the elastic elements 314 are abutted between the first linear bearings 3132 and the blocking plate 311, and the elastic elements 314 can provide an elastic force to the blocking plate 311, so that the blocking plate 311 has a tendency to move away from the first linear bearings 3132.

Of course, the elastic member 314 is embodied as a compression spring, and the spring provides a resilient force to cooperate with the up-and-down reset movement of the baffle 311. When the baffle 311 descends, the elastic member 314 is in a compressed state, and thus, the elastic member 314 in the compressed state can provide an elastic force to the baffle 311, so that the baffle 311 has a tendency to move upwards to realize resetting.

It can be understood that, in the process of moving the cam roller 312 from the second plane 3212 to the first plane 3211, under the action of the elastic member 314, the cam roller 312 always abuts against the bottom surface of the stroke block 32, and when the cam roller 312 moves to the first plane 3211, under the action of the elastic member 314, the blocking plate 311 can be reset and extend out of the avoiding groove 23 again, so as to form a turning limit on the transmission module 2.

It should be noted that the spring is selected to have a weight greater than the upper assembly. And the spring should satisfy: the load of the spring is less than or equal to the spring constant multiplied by the spring displacement multiplied by the number of the springs used.

In some embodiments, the first stoppers 315 are disposed on both of the first optical axes 3131, and when the elastic member 314 provides an elastic force to the baffle 311, the first stoppers 315 are used to limit the upward displacement of the first optical axis 3131.

The first stopper 315 is fixedly connected to the first optical axis 3131, and an outer diameter of the first stopper 315 is greater than an outer diameter of the first optical axis 3131, when the elastic member 314 provides an elastic force to the blocking plate 311, the first stopper 315 moves upward along with the first optical axis 3131 until the first stopper 315 contacts the transverse plate 12 or the first linear bearing 3132 of the fixing plate 1, and then the blocking plate 311 stops moving upward.

Preferably, the first stopper 315 is a stopper having a circular ring structure, and the first stopper 315 is fixedly connected to the first optical axis 3131 along a radial direction by a detachable connecting member (a screw or a bolt).

Of course, the stroke block 32 is of an L-shaped structure, one side of the stroke block 32 is fixed on the power source module 4, and the other side of the stroke block passes through the through hole 111 of the vertical plate 11, and the through hole 111 can also play a guiding role when the stroke block 32 moves along the second direction.

Preferably, the through hole 111 includes, but is not limited to, a round hole, a square hole, and any other shape that can guide the stroke block 32 when moving in the second direction.

In some embodiments, the power source module 4 may be a pneumatic, electric or hydraulic module. Preferably, the power module 4 is a pneumatic push rod module, such as a cylinder with a thrust capable of horizontally moving the workpiece or other power sources capable of directly/indirectly generating the thrust, such as a motor, an electric motor or a human hand. The present embodiment preferably employs a pneumatic ram.

Specifically, the push rod module comprises a cylinder barrel and a push rod, the cylinder barrel is arranged on the fixing plate 1, and the push rod moves relative to the cylinder barrel along the second direction. Under the power action of a pneumatic, electric or hydraulic mode, the push rod can move in a telescopic mode along the axis direction of the cylinder barrel so as to achieve the purpose of pushing materials along the horizontal direction.

It should be noted that the cylinder should be selected to generate the pressing force required for pressing the spring. The type of the cylinder barrel can be selected according to the required thrust, and specifically, a cylinder capable of generating twice the safety factor load in the vertical direction is selected. The bore diameter d (mm) of the cylinder is related to the thrust to be generated by the cylinder, the load factor and the working pressure.
