  • Patent number: 10138072
    Abstract: A conveyor includes a conveyor belt, a sensor and a controller, wherein the sensor includes a light ray generator, a light ray receiver and at least one baffle. The controller is connected with the light ray receiver for controlling the conveyor belt to stop moving in response to a signal fed back by the light ray receiver that the conveyed product has been conveyed to the end of the conveyor belt. The baffle has a light transmission hole to let the light ray emitted from the light ray generator pass through. The gap between a lower edge of the baffle and the conveyor belt is smaller than the thickness of the conveyed product. When the baffle is impinged by the conveyed product, the baffle will move along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt so as to block the light ray emitted from the light ray generator.
