Please refer to FIG1 . The embodiment of the present application provides a circulation device 10 which includes a bearing mechanism 13, a limiting mechanism 14, a lifting mechanism 11, and a translation mechanism 12. The limiting mechanism 14 and the lifting mechanism 11 are respectively connected to the bearing mechanism 13, and the translation mechanism 12 is connected to the lifting mechanism 11. The bearing mechanism 13 carries the material 101, the limiting mechanism 14 limits the material 101 on the bearing mechanism 13, and then the lifting mechanism 11 drives the bearing mechanism 13 to move in the vertical direction, and the translation mechanism 12 drives the bearing mechanism 13 to move in the horizontal direction through the lifting mechanism 11, so as to realize the circulation device 10. Under the limiting action of the limiting mechanism 14, the material 101 can be stably raised and lowered and moved in different directions for circulation.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 2 , the carrying mechanism 13 includes a carrying box 131 and a conveying assembly 132, wherein the conveying assembly 132 is disposed in the carrying box 131 and is located at the bottom of the carrying box 131. Exemplarily, the conveying assembly 132 is two conveyor belts 1321 disposed at opposite sides of the bottom of the carrying box 131, and the top surface of the conveyor belt 1321 is a carrying surface (not marked) for carrying the material 101. When the material 101 needs to be placed in the carrier box 131, the conveyor belt 1321 contacts the material 101 and conveys the material 101 along the first direction X through the conveyor belt 1321, so as to convey the material 101 on the side of the carrier box 131 in the opposite direction of the first direction X from outside the carrier box 131 to the carrier box 131 for storage, or convey the material 101 on the side of the carrier box 131 in the opposite direction of the first direction X through the conveyor belt 1321, so as to convey the material 101 on the side of the carrier box 131 in the first direction X to the carrier box 131 for storage, so as to facilitate the lifting mechanism 11 and/or the translation mechanism 12 to lift and/or horizontally move the material 101 through the carrier box 131. When the material 101 is moved to the designated position, the material 101 is conveyed from the inside of the carrier box 131 to the outside through the conveyor belt 1321 along the first direction X or the opposite direction of the first direction X, so as to achieve the purpose of the circulation device 10 to circulate the material 101 in multiple directions. Furthermore, by simultaneously arranging the bearing mechanism 13, the lifting mechanism 11 and the translation mechanism 12 on the circulation device 10, the volume of the circulation device 10 is reduced compared with the cooperation of a single translation device and a single lifting device, thereby reducing the occupied space of the circulation device 10.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 2 , the carrying box 131 is provided with two opposite openings 1311 along the first direction X and the direction opposite to the first direction X. The openings 1311 are provided to facilitate the material 101 to enter and exit the carrying box 131 .

In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 2 , the limiting mechanism 14 includes two limiting components 141 respectively connected to the carrier box 131, and the two limiting components 141 are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the bottom of the carrier box 131. After the conveyor belt 1321 conveys the material 101 into the carrier box 131, the two limiting components 141 are respectively used to limit the material 101 in the carrier box 131 along the first direction X or the opposite direction of the first direction X, so as to ensure that the material 101 can be accurately placed in the carrier box 131, so as to reduce the risk of the material 101 easily falling out of the carrier box 131, and help to improve the stability of the carrier box 131 driving the material 101 to move. At the same time, after the material 101 enters the carrying box 131, the limiting component 141 can prevent other materials 101 from continuing to enter the carrying box 131, so that the carrying box 131 only carries one material 101 at a time, thereby reducing the risk of multiple materials 101 entering the carrying box 131 at the same time, causing the carrying box 131 to be unable to carry multiple materials at the same time, thereby reducing the risk of the material 101 falling from the carrying box 131.

In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2, each limit assembly 141 includes a limit driver 1411 and a limit member 1412, the limit driver 1411 is arranged at the bottom of the supporting box 131, the limit driver 1411 is connected to the limit member 1412, and the limit driver 1411 is used to drive the limit member 1412 to move along the second direction Y or the opposite direction of the second direction Y.

When the material 101 needs to be placed in the carrying box 131 along the first direction X, the conveyor belt 1321 conveys in the first direction X, and the limit driver 1411 located in the opposite direction of the carrying box 131 along the first direction X drives the corresponding limit member 1412 to move in the opposite direction of the second direction Y, so that the limit member 1412 descends to below the carrying surface along the second direction, so that the conveyor belt 1321 conveys the material 101 from the outside of the carrying box 131 to the inside of the carrying box 131 along the first direction X.

The conveyor belt 1321 continues to convey the material 101 along the first direction X. The limit driver 1411 located along the first direction X of the carrier box 131 drives the corresponding limit member 1412 to move along the second direction Y, so that a part of the limit member 1412 rises from the bottom of the carrying surface to the top of the carrying surface, until the material 101 is conveyed to the edge of the carrier box 131 along the first direction X, the limit member 1412 contacts the material 101 in the carrier box 131 along the horizontal direction, so that the limit member 1412 has a limiting effect on the material 101 moving along the first direction X, thereby reducing the risk of the conveyor belt 1321 over-conveying the material 101, causing the material 101 to be conveyed outside the carrier box 131 and falling. At the same time, the two limit members 1412 respectively block the material 101 outside the carrier box 131 to prevent other materials 101 from continuing to enter the carrier box 131, thereby improving the accuracy of the carrier box 131 carrying only one material 101 at a time.

When the material 101 is limited by the limiting member 1412 located on the carrying box 131 along the first direction X, the limiting driver 1411 located on the carrying box 131 along the first direction X drives the corresponding limiting member 1412 to move toward the second direction Y, so that the two limiting members 1412 respectively limit the two sides of the material 101, thereby improving the stability of the material 101 stored on the carrying box 131. In this way, the carrying box 131 can drive the material 101 to rise, fall and translate.

When it is necessary to place the material 101 into the carrying box 131 along the opposite direction of the first direction X, the conveyor belt 1321 conveys in the opposite direction of the first direction X, and the limit driver 1411 located on the carrying box 131 along the first direction X drives the corresponding limit member 1412 to move in the opposite direction of the second direction Y, so that the limit member 1412 descends along the second direction to below the carrying surface, so that the conveyor belt 1321 conveys the material 101 from the outside of the carrying box 131 to the inside of the carrying box 131 along the opposite direction of the first direction X.

The conveyor belt 1321 continues to convey the material 101 in the opposite direction of the first direction X. The limit driver 1411 located in the opposite direction of the carrying box 131 in the first direction X drives the corresponding limit member 1412 to move in the second direction Y and rise to the top of the carrying surface until the material 101 is conveyed to the edge of the carrying box 131 in the opposite direction of the first direction X. The limit member 1412 contacts the material 101 in the carrying box 131 in the horizontal direction, so that the limit member 1412 has a limiting effect on the material 101 moving in the opposite direction of the first direction X, thereby reducing the risk of the conveyor belt 1321 over-conveying the material 101, causing the material 101 to be conveyed outside the carrying box 131 and falling.

When the material 101 in the carrying box 131 needs to be conveyed outward, one of the limit drivers 1411 drives the corresponding limit member 1412 to move in the opposite direction of the second direction Y to cancel the limiting effect of the limit member 1412 on the material 101, so as to facilitate the conveyance of the material 101 in the carrying box 131 to be conveyed along the first direction X or in the opposite direction of the first direction X to the outside of the carrying box 131.

In other embodiments, when the material 101 moves from outside the carrier box 131 to inside the carrier box 131, the two limit drivers 1411 respectively drive the two limit members 1412 to descend below the carrying surface, so that the material 101 enters the carrier box 131. When the material 101 completely enters the carrier box, the two limit drivers 1411 respectively drive the two limit members 1412 to rise above the carrying surface, so as to limit the two sides of the material 101 in the carrier box 131, and at the same time block the two sides of the carrier box 131 to prevent other materials 101 from continuing to enter the carrier box 131. When the material 101 needs to move from inside the carrier box 131 to outside the carrier box 131, the two limit drivers 1411 respectively drive the two limit members 1412 to descend below the carrying surface, so that the material 101 can pass through.

In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 2 , the circulation device 10 further includes a pressurizing mechanism 15 disposed on the carrier box 131 , and the pressurizing mechanism 15 is used to apply force to the material 101 on the carrier box 131 to fix the material 101 in the carrier box 131 .

In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 2 , the pressurizing mechanism 15 includes a pressurizing driver 151 and a pressurizing member 152. The pressurizing driver 151 is disposed on the top of the carrier box 131. The pressurizing driver 151 is connected to the pressurizing member 152. The pressurizing driver 151 is used to drive the pressurizing member 152 to move along the second direction Y or in the opposite direction of the second direction Y. After the material 101 is transferred to the carrier box 131, the pressurizing driver 151 drives the pressurizing member 152 to move in the opposite direction of the first direction X, so that a part of the pressurizing member 152 is placed in the carrier box 131 and clamped on the top of the material 101, so that the material 101 is clamped by the pressurizing member 152 and the conveyor belt 1321, thereby improving the stability of the material 101 in the carrier box 131. When the material 101 in the carrier box 131 needs to be conveyed outward, the pressure driver 151 drives the pressure member 152 to move along the first direction X, so that the pressure member 152 passes through a portion of the carrier box 131 away from the material 101, so that the conveyor belt 1321 can convey the material 101 from the carrier box 131 to the outside of the carrier box 131.

In some embodiments, there are two pressure members 152. Along the second direction Y, one pressure member 152 is located above one of the conveyor belts 1321, and the other pressure member 152 is located above the other conveyor belt 1321. The material 101 is arranged relatively along the second direction Y by one pressure member 152 and one conveyor belt 1321. When the pressure driver 151 simultaneously drives the two pressure members 152 to respectively press the material 101, the corresponding conveyor belts 1321 can respectively support the material 101, so that the two pressure members 152 and the two conveyor belts 1321 can clamp the two sides of the material 101 together, so as to reduce the risk of the material 101 easily tipping over due to uneven force, which helps to improve the stability of the material 101 placed in the carrier box 131.

When the carrier box 131 is required to drive the material 101 to move up and down along the second direction Y, the first slider 112 drives the carrier box 131 to move along the second direction Y or in the opposite direction of the second direction Y on the first guide member 111 , thereby achieving the purpose of the carrier box 131 driving the material 101 to move along the second direction Y or in the opposite direction of the second direction Y.

In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 1 , the translation mechanism 12 includes a second guide 121 and a second slider 122, the second slider 122 is fixedly connected to the first guide 111, the second slider 122 is slidably connected to the second guide 121, and the second guide 121 extends along the third direction Z. When the carrying box 131 is required to drive the material 101 to reciprocate along the third direction Z, the second slider 122 drives the first guide 111 to move along the third direction Z or in the opposite direction of the third direction Z on the second guide 121, so that the first guide 111 drives the first slider 112 and the carrying box 131 on the first slider 112 to move along the third direction Z or in the opposite direction of the third direction Z, thereby achieving the purpose of the carrying box 131 driving the material 101 to move along the third direction Z or in the opposite direction of the third direction Z.

In some embodiments, the circulation device 10 further includes a lifting drive (not shown) disposed on the first guide member 111 and/or a translation drive (not shown) disposed on the second guide member 121, the lifting drive is connected to the first slider 112, and the translation drive is connected to the second slider 122. The lifting drive and the translation drive are used to drive the first slider 112 and the second slider 122 to move respectively, thereby finally achieving the purpose of reciprocating the carrying box 131 along the second direction Y or the third direction Z.

In some embodiments, the conveying component 132 also includes a conveying driver (unlabeled), which is respectively connected to the two conveyor belts 1321, and the conveying driver is configured to drive the two conveyor belts 1321 to rotate at the same time to realize the function of the conveyor belt 1321 to convey the material 101 along the first direction X.

In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3, the circulation equipment 10 also includes a detection mechanism 16, the detection mechanism 16 includes a first detection component 161, the first detection component 161 is arranged along the carrier box 131, when there is material 101 in the carrier box 131, the first detection component 161 sends a feedback signal, by obtaining the feedback signal, it can be determined that the material 101 is placed in the storage space.

Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 4 , the first detection assembly 161 includes a mounting block 1611 and a first detector 1612. The mounting block 1611 is located on one side of the carrier box 131 along the third direction Z and/or the opposite direction of the third direction Z. The mounting block 1611 has a first end 16111 and a second end 16112 opposite to each other along the first direction X. The first end 16111 and the second end 16112 are respectively provided with first detectors 1612 movably. The first detectors 1612 are provided toward the carrier box 131 along a direction parallel to the third direction Z. According to the length of the material 101 along the first direction X, the spacing between the first end 16111 and the second end 16112 is adjusted. When the material 101 is transferred from the outside of the carrier box 131 to the inside of the carrier box 131, and the two first detectors 1612 both detect the material 101, the first detector 1612 sends a feedback signal. By obtaining the feedback signal, it can be determined that the material 101 is completely placed in the material storage space.

In some embodiments, the first detector 1612 is a laser emitter (not marked) that emits laser light toward the carrier box 131 . When the material 101 blocks the laser light in the carrier box 131 , the laser emitter sends a feedback signal.

In some embodiments, when the material 101 in the carrier box 131 continues to be transported toward the edge of the carrier box 131 along the first direction X or the opposite direction of the first direction X, and the material 101 blocks the laser, the laser emitter near the edge of the carrier box 131 in the first direction X or the opposite direction of the first direction X sends a feedback signal to the limit driver 1411 and the transmission driver located in the first direction X or the opposite direction of the first direction X of the carrier box 131, so that the transmission driver stops driving the conveyor belt 1321 to move, so that the conveyor belt 1321 can accurately transport the material 101 into the carrier box 131. At the same time, the limit driver 1411 drives the limit member 1412 to move along the second direction Y, so that the limit member 1412 can limit the material 101 inside and/or outside the carrier box 131 in time, so as to reduce the risk of the material 101 falling out of the carrier box 131, and prevent other materials 101 outside the carrier box 131 from entering the carrier box 131, which helps to improve the real-time and accuracy of the limit member 1412 in limiting the material 101.

When the first baffle 1621 moves with the first slider 112 to the sensing area of the first photoelectric sensor 1622, the first photoelectric sensor 1622 sends a feedback signal to the driving mechanism, and the driving mechanism stops driving the first slider 112 to move, so that the carrier box 131 stops moving, thereby reducing the risk of excessive movement of the carrier box 131 along the second direction Y and easy collision with the outside world.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 , in some embodiments, the detection mechanism 16 includes a third detection component 163, which is disposed on the translation mechanism 12 and is used to limit the movement of the first guide member 111, the first slider 112 on the first guide member 111, and the carrier box 131 that reciprocate along the third direction Z. Exemplarily, the third detection component 163 includes a second baffle 1631 disposed on the second slider 122, and a second photoelectric sensor 1632 disposed on the second guide member 121. The driving mechanism drives the second slider 122 to drive the second baffle 1631 and the first guide member 111 to move on the second guide member 121. When the second baffle 1631 moves with the second slider 122 to the sensing area of the second photoelectric sensor 1632, the second photoelectric sensor 1632 sends a feedback signal to the driving mechanism, and the driving mechanism stops driving the second slider 122 to move, so that the first guide member 111 stops moving, and the first slider 112 and the carrier box 131 stop moving, thereby reducing the risk of excessive movement of the carrier box 131 along the third direction Z and easy collision with the outside world.
