Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of a transmission mechanism 200 having a bearing support 230 in some embodiments. In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism 200 further includes a bearing support 230 and a bearing seat 231 slidably connected to the bearing support 230, and the driven wheel 212 is disposed on the bearing seat 231 through a bearing.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating an offset of the transmission mechanism 200 relative to the guide 100 according to an embodiment, and fig. 6 is a partially enlarged view of a portion a in fig. 5. The guide 100 is an endless structure having an enclosed region in which at least a portion of the drive mechanism 200 is located, and may be partially or fully located within the enclosed region formed by the guide 100. Wherein the center of the driven member 220 is offset by a first length C in the second direction X and a second length E in the third direction-Y with respect to the center of the guide member 100, such that the first shaft 440 is offset by the first length C in the second direction X with respect to the guide member 100, wherein the center of the driven member 220 may be the center of gravity or the center of symmetry, the center of the guide member 100 may be the center of gravity or the center of symmetry, the second direction X may be perpendicular to the first direction Y, and the third direction-Y may be the opposite direction of the first direction Y, in practice, the third direction-Y may be the direction of gravity, the first direction Y may be the direction of antigravity, and the second direction X may be the horizontal direction. The first angle α between the first connecting member 410 and the carrier member 300, the first axis 440 after being offset by the first length C, allows the first connecting member 410 to have a second angle β offset with respect to the first direction Y, and by presetting the first angle α between the first connecting member 410 and the carrier member 300, allows the first connecting member 410 to direct the supporting surface S of the carrier member 300 toward the first direction Y just after being offset.

Referring to fig. 7, for example, a first angle α between the first connecting member 410 and the material loading member 300 is preset to be 60 °, and after the first shaft 440 is offset relative to the guide member 100 along the second direction X, the first connecting member 410 and the first direction Y form a second angle β, for example, 30 °, at this time, the first angle α and the second angle β are complementary to each other, so that the material loading member 300 is parallel to the second direction X, and the supporting surface S of the material loading member 300 faces the first direction Y.

With continued reference to fig. 5, in some embodiments, the driven member 220 and the guide member 100 each have a circular center, the driven member 220 and the guide member 100 may be axisymmetric, such as a horizontally symmetric pattern or a vertically symmetric pattern, or a circular structure having both a horizontal symmetric axis and a vertical symmetric axis, such as the guide member 100 is symmetric about both a first symmetric axis M and a second symmetric axis N, wherein the first symmetric axis M and the second symmetric axis N are perpendicular, and the driven member 220 is symmetric about both a third symmetric axis M 'and a fourth symmetric axis N', wherein the third symmetric axis M 'and the fourth symmetric axis N' are perpendicular. The guide 100 may be comprised of a series of first parallel segments 110 that are symmetrical about a first axis of symmetry M, joined by a series of first arcuate segments 120 that are symmetrical about a second axis of symmetry N. The driven member 220 may be formed by joining a set of second parallel segments 221 about a third axis of symmetry M 'and a set of second arc segments 222 symmetrical about a fourth axis of symmetry N'. It is understood that when the transmission mechanism 200 is not offset relative to the guide member 100, the third axis of symmetry M 'of the transmission mechanism 200 may coincide with the first axis of symmetry M of the guide member 100 and the fourth axis of symmetry N' of the transmission mechanism 200 may coincide with the second axis of symmetry N of the guide member 100. When the driven member 220 does not deviate relative to the guide member 100, the second angle β between the first connecting member 410 and the straight line of the first direction Y can still be ensured when the connecting mechanism 400 is located in the curved section, so that the first connecting member 410 always deviates to the second direction X in the complete operation process, and the supporting surface S of the material loading member 300 always faces to the first direction Y.

The center of the driven member 220 is offset in the second direction X by a first length C relative to the center of the guide member 100, and is offset in the third direction-Y by a second length E, which is equivalent to the third symmetry axis M 'being offset in the second direction X by the first length C relative to the fourth symmetry axis M, and the second symmetry axis N' being offset in the third direction-Y by the second length E relative to the first symmetry axis N, wherein twice the second length E is equal to the distance D from the highest point transmission mechanism 200 to the highest point guide member 100 minus the distance B from the lowest point transmission mechanism 200 to the lowest point guide member 100, that is, 2e = D-B, and meanwhile, the first shaft 440 is offset in the second direction X relative to the guide member 100 by the first length C, and the length of the first connection member 410 is L, and then the following relationships exist: c = L sin β,2e = d-B =2l cos β.

To reach this conclusion, when the driven member 220 is not offset relative to the guide member 100, the distance from the highest point of the highest-point driven member 200 to the highest point of the guide member 100 is D-E, the distance from the lowest point of the driven member 220 to the lowest point of the guide member 100 is B + E, and when no offset occurs, the first axis of symmetry N and the second axis of symmetry N' coincide and are both axisymmetric structures, and when D-E = B + E, that is, 2e = D-B.

In some feasible implementation manners, the lengths of the guide part 100 and the transmission mechanism 200 in the first direction Y are greater than the lengths in the second direction X, so that the height of the conveying mechanism 10 is greater than the width, the floor area can be greatly reduced, the space utilization efficiency is improved, and the cost can be reduced in actual production.

Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a flow chart showing a conveying method using the conveying mechanism in one embodiment, and the method includes the following steps.

S810, configuring materials on a supporting surface S of the material loading piece 300, wherein the supporting surface faces to a preset first direction Y.

The loading member 300 is used for loading materials, placing the materials on the supporting surface S, and moving the materials under the driving of the loading member 300.

S820, the material loading part 300 is driven to move through the transmission mechanism 200 and the connecting mechanism 400.

The transmission mechanism 200 moves, and may be circular motion, linear motion or curvilinear motion, for example, when the circular motion is performed, the second connecting member 420 and the third connecting member 430 are driven to move around the transmission mechanism 200, and then the first shaft 440 is driven to follow and perform circular motion, so that the material carrying member 300 follows the first shaft 440 and performs circular motion, and through the deviation of the transmission mechanism 200 relative to the guide member 100, the supporting surface S of the material carrying member 300 always faces the first direction Y in the moving process, and the material is ensured not to drop while the material transportation is realized.

S830. The first end of the first link 410 of the guide link 400 moves within the guide 100.

The first end of the first link 410 is movably connected to the guide member 100, for example, slidably connected or rollably connected, and when the first link 410 moves, the first end of the first link 410 is guided by the guide member 100.
