Abstract
A circulating conveyor may comprise: a first conveying line and a second conveying line, wherein both the first conveying line and the second conveying line have a loading position and an unloading position at the two ends and clamps may be circularly conveyed between the first conveying line and the second conveying line in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction; and a circulating adapter. The circulating adapter may comprise a first circulating adapter and a second circulating adapter arranged in pairs at both the loading position and the unloading position, wherein the first circulating adapter and the second circulating adapter may be used for conveying the clamps between the first conveying line and the second conveying line.

A circulating conveyor, comprising:
- a first conveying line and a second conveying line, wherein the first conveying line has a loading position at one end and an unloading position at the other end;
- and the second conveying line has a loading position at one end and an unloading position at the other end, and clamps are circularly conveyed between the first conveying line and the second conveying line in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction;
- and
- a circulating adapter comprising a first circulating adapter and a second circulating adapter arranged in pairs at both the loading position and the unloading position, wherein the first circulating adapter and the second circulating adapter are used to convey the clamps between the first conveying line and the second conveying line,
- wherein the first circulating adapter comprises a first connecting structure and a first driving assembly for driving the first connecting structure to move up and down circularly in the vertical direction;
- the second circulating adapter comprises a second connecting structure and a second driving assembly for driving the second connecting structure to move up and down circularly in the vertical direction;
- the first conveying line comprises a first edge position, and the first connecting structure is horizontally aligned with the first conveying line at the first edge position, so that the clamp on the first conveying line is driven by power to move to the first connecting structure;
- the second conveying line comprises a second edge position, and the second connecting structure is horizontally aligned with the second conveying line at the second edge position, so that the clamp on the second conveying line is driven by power to move to the second connecting structure;
- the first driving assembly comprises a first horizontal driver, the first horizontal driver comprises a first servo motor and a third movable block sliding on a guide rail of the first servo motor along a second direction, and the first cylinder is relatively fixedly connected to the third movable block;
