摘要

Disclosed is a conveying mechanism for transferring finished and unfinished rubber cots to and from storage magazine respectively in the rubber cot grinding and/or buffing machine. At each loading and unloading points of the rubber cot grinding and/or buffing machine such conveying mechanisms are provided. The conveying mechanism includes a linear arm assembly (40, 40™) and a guide arm assembly (50, 50™). The linear arm assembly (40, 40™) comprises a linear vertical arm (41, 41™) and a linear horizontal arm (42, 42™) having a guiding track (45, 45™). The linear vertical arm (41) moves horizontally over the linear horizontal arm (42, 42™). The guide arm assembly (50, 50™) is movable vertically on the linear rail (44, 44™) of linear vertical arm. The conveying mechanism also includes a control unit being operatively connected to the linear arm assembly (40, 40™) and the guide arm assembly (50, 50™) to control operations of the linear arm assembly (40, 40™) and the guide arm assembly (50, 50™).
