Patent ID: 7921985

Claim:
A conveying method for an artificial stone process comprising: (a) charging step: placing stone on a trolley provided with a catch basin; (b) transporting step: the trolley traveling along a track set to carry the stone to a processing region; (c) discharging step: the processing region having a top bracing unit, the top bracing unit being equipped with a plurality of backup posts, when the trolley carrying the stone to the processing region, the catch basin being braced upwardly by the backup posts of the top bracing unit and separated from the trolley; (d) engaging step: after the catch basin being top braced by the backup posts of the top bracing unit and separated from the trolley, utilizing an engaging mechanism to receive the catch basin, wherein the engaging mechanism is comprised of two junction rails opposite and parallel to each other, and at least one pushing assembly is disposed between the two junction rails such that the two junction rails can expand and draw closer to each other, and when the two junction rails expand, the catch basin can pass between the two junction rails, and after the catch basin braced upwardly by the backup posts passes between the two junction rails, the two junction rails can be acted by the pushing assembly and start to draw closer to each other, and at this time, the backup posts start to descend such that the catch basin is received by the two junction rails which have drawn closer to each other; and (e) processing step: delivering the catch basin, which is located on the junction rails of the engaging mechanism, to a processing station for processing.
