Abstract

A conveyance device includes a base, several delivery rods, a delivery mechanism and at least one grid. The delivery rods are horizontally extended from the base. These delivery rods are parallel to each other and are positioned at the same elevation. The base is disposed on the delivery mechanism, which drives or guides the base to move on the vertical direction and a first horizontal direction. The grid has several parallel grid plates which are positioned at the same elevation. A gap is defined between every two adjacent grid plate for one of the delivery rods to pass therethrough. The delivery rods can initially rest in the gaps between the grid plates. When the base is driven upward by the delivery mechanism, object(s) placed on the grid can be lifted by the delivery rods and then moved to other positions.

Description

Object conveying equipment

This invention relates to a delivery device, and more particularly to an apparatus that can transport an item quickly between a plurality of locations.

In the past, in order to transport objects between different positions, it is common to use conveyor belts for transport. Although the conveyor belt has the advantages of being able to transport a large number of objects, the disadvantage is that it takes up a large space and is suitable for two-dimensional space transportation. It is not easy to realize the transportation of three-dimensional space.

In order to realize the freedom of transport in three-dimensional space, the robot arm is a common means of implementation, but the robot arm has the disadvantage of high cost and is not easy to be widely used.

In view of this, the main object of the present invention is to provide an article conveying apparatus which is low in cost and capable of realizing three-dimensional space transportation.

The base is arranged on the conveying mechanism, and the conveying mechanism is used to drive or guide the base to move in a vertical direction and a first horizontal direction. The grid has a plurality of grids arranged parallel to each other and on the same horizontal plane, and a gap between two adjacent grids for passing one of the conveying rods.

In order to achieve the above and other objects, the present invention also provides an object conveying apparatus including a base, a plurality of conveying rods, a conveying mechanism and a sliding seat, the conveying rods extending horizontally from the base, and the The conveying rods are arranged parallel to each other and on the same horizontal plane. The base is arranged on the conveying mechanism, and the conveying mechanism is used to drive or guide the base to move in a vertical direction and a first horizontal direction. The sliding seat is movable in a second horizontal direction, the second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction, and the sliding seat has a plurality of receiving plates arranged parallel to each other and on the same horizontal surface, and between the two adjacent receiving plates A passage through which one of the delivery rods passes.

Thereby, when the conveying rods are located in the gap between the grid plates, and the conveying mechanism drives the base platform to move from bottom to top, the objects placed on the grid can be lifted by the conveying rod and moved to other positions. . Based on the same principle, objects placed on the carriage can also be moved to other locations. Therefore, the beneficial effects that can be achieved by the present invention are that the utility model has the advantages of low cost and convenient and rapid transportation, and thus is easy to popularize and use.
