[0032] The transverse driving mechanism 1 is disposed on one side of the fixed component 2 and connected to the sliding component 3 for driving the sliding component 3 to reciprocate along a first direction.

[0033] The present invention realizes the lateral movement of the silo 4 by coordinating the lateral drive mechanism 1 with the sliding component 3 and the fixed component 2, so that the position of the silo 4 can be flexibly adjusted, meeting the different requirements of different production lines or process steps for the material position, and improving the flexibility and adaptability of the production line.

[0034] It should be noted that the first direction may be a horizontal direction, and the second direction may be a vertical direction. It can also be said that the first direction is a length direction, and the second direction is a width direction.

[0035] Furthermore, the fixing assembly 2 is composed of at least two fixing frames 21 respectively matched with the silo 4 .

[0036] Specifically, since the silo 4 can be of different sizes, each silo 4 is matched with a corresponding fixing frame 21 , so that the material in the silo 4 can be discharged by natural falling due to gravity and directly discharged from the gap of the fixing frame 21 .

[0037] The length of each fixing frame 21 along the second direction matches the corresponding silo 4, so as to cooperate with the corresponding silo 4 to discharge materials by natural gravity.

[0038] That is, the width or longitudinal length of each fixing frame 21 matches the silo 4 , so that when the material in the silo 4 is discharged by natural gravity, it can be directly discharged from the gap in the width or longitudinal length of the fixing frame 21 .

[0039] Furthermore, at least two of the fixing frames 21 are connected in sequence along the second direction, and the edges of the fixing frames 21 on both sides are provided with slide rails 211 ; the slide rails 211 are provided in cooperation with the sliding assembly 3 .

[0040] Specifically, at least two fixing frames 21 are sequentially connected along the second direction to form an integral fixing structure. Slide rails 211 are arranged at the edges of the fixing frames 21 on both sides, and these slide rails 211 are arranged in cooperation with the sliding assembly 3 so that the sliding assembly 3 can slide smoothly on the fixing assembly 2.

[0041] Of course, a plurality of slide rails 211 may be evenly arranged according to the sizes of the fixing frame 21 and the sliding assembly 3 , so that the sliding assembly 3 can slide smoothly on the fixing frame 21 .

[0042] Furthermore, the silo 4 includes a first silo 41 and a second silo 42 , and the size of the first silo 41 is larger than the size of the second silo 42 .

[0043] The first silo 41 and the second silo 42 are of different sizes to meet the requirements of carrying different materials.

[0044] For example, the first silo 41 can carry 13-inch trays, and the second silo 42 can carry 7-inch trays.

[0045] Furthermore, the sliding assembly 3 includes a sliding frame 31 , the sliding frame 31 matches the size of all the fixing frames 21 , and a matching opening is provided at a position corresponding to each fixing frame 21 .

[0046] Slide blocks 311 cooperating with the slide rails 211 are disposed on both sides of the slide frame 31 , so that the slide blocks 311 ensure that the slide frame 31 can slide smoothly and accurately on the slide rails 211 .

[0047] The sliding block 311 is fixed to the sliding frame 31 via a fixing assembly to enhance the structural stability of the entire sliding assembly 3 .

[0048] In some embodiments, the transverse drive mechanism 1 includes a drive motor 11 and a synchronous belt 12. The drive motor 11 is arranged on one side of the fixed component 2, and the two sides of the synchronous belt 12 are sleeved on the synchronous wheels 13. The drive motor 11 is connected to one of the synchronous wheels 13, and the sliding component 3 is connected to the synchronous belt 12 for reciprocating motion with the movement of the synchronous belt 12.

[0049] Of course, the transverse driving mechanism 1 can also be driven by a screw module or a gear rack to realize the linear motion of the present invention.

[0056] The transverse driving mechanism 1 is disposed on one side of the fixed component 2 and connected to the sliding component 3 for driving the sliding component 3 to reciprocate along a first direction.

[0057] The present invention realizes the lateral movement of the silo 4 by coordinating the lateral drive mechanism 1 with the sliding component 3 and the fixed component 2, so that the position of the silo 4 can be flexibly adjusted, meeting the different requirements of different production lines or process steps for the material position, and improving the flexibility and adaptability of the production line.

[0058] It should be noted that the first direction may be a horizontal direction, and the second direction may be a vertical direction. It can also be said that the first direction is a length direction, and the second direction is a width direction.

[0059] Furthermore, the fixing assembly 2 is composed of at least two fixing frames 21 respectively matched with the silo 4 .

[0060] Specifically, since the silo 4 can be of different sizes, each silo 4 is matched with a corresponding fixing frame 21 , so that the material in the silo 4 can be discharged by natural falling due to gravity and directly discharged from the gap of the fixing frame 21 .

[0061] The length of each fixing frame 21 along the second direction matches the corresponding silo 4, so as to cooperate with the corresponding silo 4 to discharge materials by natural gravity.

[0062] That is, the width or longitudinal length of each fixing frame 21 matches the silo 4 , so that when the material in the silo 4 is discharged by natural gravity, it can be directly discharged from the gap in the width or longitudinal length of the fixing frame 21 .

[0063] Furthermore, at least two of the fixing frames 21 are connected in sequence along the second direction, and the edges of the fixing frames 21 on both sides are provided with slide rails 211 ; the slide rails 211 are provided in cooperation with the sliding assembly 3 .

[0064] Specifically, at least two fixing frames 21 are sequentially connected along the second direction to form an integral fixing structure. Slide rails 211 are arranged at the edges of the fixing frames 21 on both sides, and these slide rails 211 are arranged in cooperation with the sliding assembly 3 so that the sliding assembly 3 can slide smoothly on the fixing assembly 2.

[0065] Of course, a plurality of slide rails 211 may be evenly arranged according to the sizes of the fixing frame 21 and the sliding assembly 3 , so that the sliding assembly 3 can slide smoothly on the fixing frame 21 .

[0066] Furthermore, the silo 4 includes a first silo 41 and a second silo 42 , and the size of the first silo 41 is larger than the size of the second silo 42 .

[0067] The first silo 41 and the second silo 42 are of different sizes to meet the requirements of carrying different materials.

[0069] Furthermore, the sliding assembly 3 includes a sliding frame 31 , the sliding frame 31 matches the size of all the fixing frames 21 , and a matching opening is provided at a position corresponding to each fixing frame 21 .

[0070] Slide blocks 311 cooperating with the slide rails 211 are disposed on both sides of the slide frame 31 , so that the slide blocks 311 ensure that the slide frame 31 can slide smoothly and accurately on the slide rails 211 .

[0071] The sliding block 311 is fixed to the sliding frame 31 via a fixing assembly to enhance the structural stability of the entire sliding assembly 3 .

[0072] In some embodiments, the transverse drive mechanism 1 includes a drive motor 11 and a synchronous belt 12. The drive motor 11 is arranged on one side of the fixed component 2, and the two sides of the synchronous belt 12 are sleeved on the synchronous wheels 13. The drive motor 11 is connected to one of the synchronous wheels 13, and the sliding component 3 is connected to the synchronous belt 12 for reciprocating motion with the movement of the synchronous belt 12.

[0073] Of course, the transverse driving mechanism 1 can also be driven by a screw module or a gear rack to realize the linear motion of the present invention.

[0074] Working process of the present invention:

[0075] After the transverse driving mechanism 1 is started, it drives the sliding component 3 to move along the fixed component 2. Since a silo 4 is placed on the sliding component 3, the silo 4 is moved horizontally to the corresponding position, and then the corresponding silo 4 is opened by the manipulator 5. When the material in the silo 4 is discharged by natural falling due to gravity, it can be directly discharged from the gap in the width or longitudinal length of the fixed frame 21, thereby completing the discharge.

[0076] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
