  • Patent number: 10773905
    Abstract: A magnetic rack, conveying truck and corresponding conveyor. The magnetic rack includes: a body on which a groove is disposed; at least one magnetic brick on which a first contact part is disposed, the magnetic brick being located in the groove; and a cover which is placed over the groove so as to partially cover the groove, a second contact part and at least one hole being disposed on the cover, the first contact part being contact with the second contact part to fix the magnetic brick in the groove, the at least one hole being used for exposing the at least one magnetic brick.

  • Patent number: 10723563
    Abstract: A magnetic conveying system for moving object between a first transfer system and a second transfer system transversely arranged, includes: a first carrier for transferring the object, having a first magnetic engaging part; and a first drive member, having a second magnetic engaging part interacting with the first magnetic engaging part to move the first carrier in a first transfer direction of the first transfer system to a transverse section of the first transfer system and the second transfer system; at least a portion of the second magnetic engaging part is arranged in a space between the transverse section and the first magnetic engaging part crossing an edge of the transverse section. This is helpful for keeping the magnetic coupling above a predetermined level when the first carrier enters into the transverse section from the first transfer system or moves away from the transverse section towards the first transfer system.
