Abstract
A conveyor device includes two arms rotatably pivoted to each other and rollers disposed at each end and a pivot of the two arms, and a conveyor belt is wrapped around the rollers. As the two arms are rotated by a certain angle with each other, a surface of the conveyor belt is made bendable with variable angle. A returning section of the conveyor belt is further restrained by a slideway at the bottom of the arms and guided to follow a specific path, while a detection device may further be disposed at a side of a conveying section of the conveyor belt for providing a variety of implementations.
Claims14
A conveyor device with variable angle comprising:
- a motor;
- a first roller, the motor driving the first roller to rotate;
- a second roller;
- a first arm with a first end and a second end opposite to each other, the first roller disposed at the first end;
- a second arm with a third end and a fourth end opposite to each other, the third end pivoted to the second end of the first arm, such that the second arm is rotatable relative to the first arm, and the second roller disposed at the fourth end;
- a third roller disposed at a location where the first arm is pivoted to the second arm;
- and
- a conveyor belt wrapped around the first roller, the third roller, and the second roller, a conveying section formed on a side of the conveyor belt between the first roller and the second roller and a returning section formed on another side opposite to the conveying section, the first roller adapted to be driven by the motor to drive the conveyor belt to rotate around the first roller, the third roller, and the second roller.
