Abstract
This application relates to a conveyor and a baking device. A traction rope may bring an electrode plate to move in a transport space. The traction rope may be of high flexibility and can more smoothly bring the electrode plate to move in various complex environments such as an arcuate oven, thereby effectively avoiding derailment or jamming of the conveyor in the oven and conveying the electrode plate more smoothly in the oven.
Claims16
A conveyor for conveying an electrode plate, comprising:
- a main body, wherein the main body comprises a transport space for accommodating the electrode plate;
- a guide structure, wherein the guide structure is disposed in the transport space and comprises a traction rope, and the traction rope extends along a conveyance direction of the electrode plate and is connected to the electrode plate to bring the electrode plate to move;
- a driving structure, wherein the driving structure is drivingly connected to the traction rope, so as to drive the traction rope to bring the electrode plate to move along the conveyance direction;
- a supporting roller disposed under the traction rope along a gravity direction, wherein a guide slot that extends along the conveyance direction is made on the supporting roller, and the traction rope is disposed in the guide slot;
- a pressure roller, wherein the pressure roller is disposed corresponding to the supporting roller, a limiting space is defined between the pressure roller and the supporting roller, and the traction rope is disposed in the limiting space;
- and
- a floating structure, the floating structure comprising:
- a fastener, fixedly connected to the main body;
- and
- an elastomer, wherein one end of the elastomer is connected to the fastener, and another end of the elastomer is connected to the pressure roller, so as to change a distance between the pressure roller and the supporting roller.
