It is understood that in other embodiments, the incoming material conveying mechanism 15 may include only the first conveying member 151.

[0098] An inbound waiting conveyor 153 is provided between the second conveyor 152 and the inbound lifting mechanism 20. There may be one or more inbound waiting conveyor 153. In this embodiment, there are two inbound waiting conveyor 153; the inbound waiting conveyor 153 extends perpendicularly to the second conveyor 152. The inbound waiting conveyor 153 can carry the first material frame 300 containing the material 200 conveyed by the second conveyor 152 and transport the received first material frame 300 containing the material 200. The feed end of the inbound lifting mechanism 20 can move in a first direction and pass through the two inbound waiting conveyor 153 to remove the first material frame 300 containing the material 200 from one of the inbound waiting conveyor 153. In this embodiment, the inbound waiting conveyor 153 is a conveying structure consisting of a conveyor frame, a conveyor belt, and a motor, but is not limited thereto.

[0099] The storage lifting mechanism 20 is provided between the incoming material conveying mechanism 15 and the material storage 25 to transport the first material frame 300 containing the material 200 delivered from the incoming material conveying mechanism 15 to the material storage 25 .

[0100] The storage lifting mechanism 20 includes a storage lifting frame 201, a lifting member 202, and a lifting drive member 203. The lifting member 202 can carry a first material frame 300 containing material 200 and drive the first material frame 300 to move toward the material storage warehouse. The lifting drive member 203 is located on the storage lifting frame 201 and is connected to the lifting member 202, so that the lifting member 202 carries the first material frame 300 containing material 200 on the storage waiting conveyor member 153 on the side of the second conveyor member 152, and drives the first material frame 300 carrying the material 200 to move up and down and / or translate on one side of the material storage warehouse 25, thereby transporting the first material frame 300 containing material 200 to the material storage warehouse 25. In this embodiment, the lifting member 202 is a two transmission shaft and a conveyor belt structure arranged on the two transmission shafts. The lifting driving member 203 is a structure connected to the transmission belt to drive the first material frame 300 on the conveyor belt to translate, and a chain lifting structure to drive the lifting translation member to move up and down.

[0101] The material storage bin 25 is used to store the first material frame 300 containing the material 200 and to convey the first material frame 300 containing the material 200 to the outbound lifting mechanism 30. The material storage bin 25 is a frame structure 251 formed by a plurality of connectors extending along a first direction, a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions. In this embodiment, the second direction is the Y-axis direction, the third direction is the Z-axis direction, and the connector is rod-shaped, but not limited thereto. A plurality of storage positions 252 of different grades are formed on the frame structure 251, such as Class I material 200 and Class II material. A storage and conveying structure 253 for conveying the first material frame 300 is provided on the frame structure 251. The plurality of storage and conveying structures 253 are used to move the first material frame containing the material along the X-direction and / or the Y-direction and convey the first material frame 300 containing the material 200 to the outbound lifting mechanism 20. The storage and conveying structure 253 includes an X-direction conveying structure and a Y-direction conveying mechanism. Each layer of the frame structure 251 is provided with at least one X-direction conveying structure and multiple Y-direction conveying structures. The X-direction conveying structure is located at one end of the frame structure 251 near the storage lifting mechanism 20, and each Y-direction conveying structure is correspondingly arranged on a storage position 252. After the first material frame 300 containing the material 200 is transported from the storage lifting mechanism 20 to the X-direction conveying structure of the storage warehouse 25, the X-direction conveying structure can transport the first material frame 300 containing the material 200 to the Y-direction conveying structure of the storage position 252 of the corresponding grade. The Y-direction conveying structure of the storage position 252 then transports the first material frame 300 containing the material 200 along the Y direction to the outbound lifting mechanism 30. In this embodiment, the storage and conveying structure 253 is a drive structure composed of a motor and a conveyor belt, but is not limited to this.

[0102] The outgoing lifting mechanism 30 is disposed between the material storage 25 and the first material feeding and conveying mechanism 35 behind the material storage 25 to transport the first material frame 300 containing the material 200 delivered from the material storage 25 to the first material feeding and conveying mechanism 35 behind the material storage 25. In this embodiment, the outgoing lifting mechanism 30 has the same structure as the incoming lifting mechanism 20 and will not be described in detail here.

[0103] Please also see Figure 3 The first feeding conveyor mechanism 35 and a section of the second feeding conveyor mechanism 45 are stacked, and a section of the second feeding conveyor mechanism 45 is located below the first feeding conveyor mechanism 35 to convey the second material frame 400 of the material 200 dropped from the first feeding conveyor mechanism 35. In this embodiment, the first feeding conveyor mechanism 35 is a conveying structure composed of a first feeding conveyor frame, a conveyor belt, and a motor, but is not limited thereto.

[0104] The second feeding and conveying mechanism 45 includes multiple conveying components 452 and multiple steering components 454. The multiple conveying components 452 form a closed structure for conveying the second material frame 400, such as a rectangle, wherein the first feeding and conveying mechanism 35 is arranged on a conveying component 452, and the packaging mechanism 50 and the blanking mechanism 40 are arranged on different conveying components 452. In this embodiment, the conveying component 452 is a conveying structure composed of a conveying frame, a conveyor belt and a motor; multiple steering components 454 are arranged at the corners of two adjacent conveying components 452 to turn the second material frame 400 on a conveying component 452 to another adjacent conveying component 452. In this embodiment, the steering component 454 includes an ordinary conveyor and a lifting conveyor arranged in the ordinary conveyor. Before turning, the steering component 454 is in a low position and receives the second material frame 400 from the first direction. The lifting conveyor raises the steering component 454 and conveys the second material frame 400 to the second direction to realize the steering function. The steering component 454 includes but is not limited to using a lifting steering method.

[0105] The blanking mechanism 40 is arranged on the first feeding conveying mechanism 35 and the second feeding conveying mechanism 45. A blanking port 352 is provided at the position of the first feeding conveying mechanism 35 corresponding to the blanking mechanism 40. The blanking mechanism 40 is used to move the first material frame 300 containing the material 200 conveyed by the first feeding conveying mechanism 35, and drop the material 200 from the blanking port 352 into the second material frame 400 on the second feeding conveying mechanism 45. Among them, the blanking mechanism 40 includes a blanking rack 401, a blanking part 402 and a blanking driving part 403. The blanking rack 401 is arranged on the first feeding and conveying mechanism 35 and the second feeding and conveying mechanism 45. The blanking part 402 is an arc-shaped structure and is arranged on the blanking rack 401. The blanking part 402 has a accommodating cavity 4021 to accommodate the first material frame 300 containing the material 200 moved from the first feeding and conveying mechanism 35. The blanking driving part 403 is arranged on the blanking rack 401 and is connected to the blanking part 402, and is used to drive the blanking part 402 to rotate, so that the blanking part 402 drives the first material frame 300 containing the material 200 in the accommodating cavity 4021 of the input blanking part 402 to move, thereby dropping the material 200 in the first material frame 300 from the blanking port 352 to the second material frame 400 on the second feeding and conveying mechanism 45. Exemplarily, the blanking driving member 403 is a motor, which can drive the blanking member 402 to rotate through a transmission chain.

[0106] It can be understood that the blanking mechanism 40 is not limited to the structure described above, but can also be other structures. As long as it can automatically drive the first material frame 300 containing the material 200 transported by the first feeding conveying mechanism 35 to move, and make the material 200 in the first material frame 300 fall from the blanking port 352 to the second material frame 400 on the second feeding conveying mechanism 45, it is within the protection scope of this case.

[0107] The packaging mechanism 50 is provided on the second feeding conveyor mechanism 45 and is located on one side of the blanking mechanism 40. The finished product conveying mechanism 55 is provided adjacent to the packaging mechanism 50. The packaging mechanism 50 is used to package the materials 200 in the second material frame 400 delivered by the second feeding conveyor mechanism 45 and then convey the packaged materials 200 to the finished product conveying mechanism 55. The finished product conveying mechanism 55 then conveys the packaged materials 200 to the first preset position. The first preset position can be set according to actual needs and is not described in detail here.

[0108] The packaging mechanism 50 includes an adjacent packaging component 52 and a packaging receiving component 54. A conveying component 452 of the second feeding conveying mechanism 45 passes through the packaging component 52, so that the packaging component 52 packs the material 200 in the second material frame 400 conveyed by the conveying component 452, and pushes the packaged material 200 from the second material frame 400 to the packaging receiving component 54. The packaging receiving component 54 transports the pushed packaged material 200 to the finished product conveying mechanism 55.

[0109] It can be understood that the packaging component 52 compacts the material 200 in the second material frame 400 and pushes it into the packaging component 54, then manually or mechanically flips the packaging component 54, puts the compacted material 200 into the packaging bag, sews it, and then flips the packaging component 54, so that the subsequent compacted material 200 pushes the material 200 in the packaging component 54 out of the packaging component 54 to the finished product conveying mechanism 55.

[0110] Please continue to see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the automatic packaging device 100 further includes a palletizing mechanism 60, which is disposed adjacent to the finished product conveying mechanism 55 and is configured to grasp the packaged material 200 conveyed by the finished product conveying mechanism 55 to the first preset position and place it at a second preset position. The second preset position can be set as needed and is not described in detail here. In this embodiment, the palletizing mechanism 60 is a robotic arm.

[0111] In some embodiments, the automatic packaging device 100 further includes an identification module 65 electrically connected to the control device 10. The identification module 65 is disposed in the incoming material conveying mechanism 15 to identify the grade of the material 200. In this embodiment, the identification module 65 includes, but is not limited to, an industrial camera. The identification module 65 can capture the material 200 within the first material frame 300 and transmit the captured image information of the material 200 within the first material frame 300 to the control device 10. The control device 10 can then determine the grade of the material 200 based on the image information and control the incoming lift mechanism 20 to transport the first material frame 300 containing the material 200 to the storage position 252 of the corresponding grade in the storage warehouse 25 according to the grade of the material 200.

[0112] In some embodiments, the automatic packaging device 100 further includes a first weighing mechanism 70 and a temporary storage conveying mechanism 75. The first weighing mechanism 70 is disposed on the incoming material conveying mechanism 15 to weigh the first material frame 300 containing the material 200. In this embodiment, the first weighing mechanism 70 is a lifting weighing platform disposed on the second conveying member 152. The temporary storage conveying mechanism 75 is disposed adjacent to the incoming material conveying mechanism 15 to temporarily store the first material frame 300 containing the material 200 that does not meet the weighing standard. Subsequently, material 200 needs to be added to the first material frame 300 to make the first material frame 300 containing the material 200 meet the weighing standard, and the first material frame 300 containing the material 200 that meets the weighing standard is then transported back to the incoming material conveying mechanism 15. In this embodiment, the temporary storage conveying mechanism 75 has the same structure as the first conveying member 151 and will not be described in detail here.

[0113] In some embodiments, the automatic packaging device 100 further includes a second weighing mechanism 80, which is arranged on the conveying component 452 between the packaging mechanism 50 and the blanking mechanism 40 to weigh the second material frame 400 containing the material 200, thereby determining whether the second material frame 400 containing the material 200 meets the weighing standard. In this embodiment, the second weighing mechanism 80 is a weighing platform arranged on the conveying component 452.

[0114] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the automatic packaging device 100 further includes an empty material frame grabbing mechanism 85, which includes a grabbing frame 851, a grabbing member 852 and a grabbing driving member 853. The grabbing frame 851 is arranged at one end of the first feeding and conveying mechanism 35 away from the outbound lifting mechanism 30. The grabbing driving member 853 is arranged on the grabbing frame 851 and is connected to the grabbing member 852 to drive the grabbing member 852 to grab and move the empty first material frame 300 to the end of the first feeding and conveying mechanism 35 away from the outbound lifting mechanism 30, and place the empty first material frame 300 at a third preset position.
