The conveyor mechanism 2 is used to transport the picks and comprises two transmission belts or transmission chains arranged in parallel on the support 1. In this embodiment, the transmission belts are preferably flat belt structures. From the beginning to the end of the conveyor mechanism 2, a loading station 21, a box opening station 22, and an operation station 23 are sequentially arranged. The loading station 21 is used for loading, that is, stacking multiple boxes 4 containing picks on the transmission belt. At this loading station, the bottom layer of boxes 4 is separated. The bottom box body 4 is moved to the box opening station 22 by a transmission belt, where the box body is opened. The box body tray 42 is transported to the operation station 23 by a transmission belt, where the plectrums contained therein are picked up for inspection or other processing. After the processing is completed, the plectrums are returned to the tray 42. The transmission belt carries the tray 42 back to the box opening station 22, where the box cover 41 is fastened to the tray 42. Finally, the plectrums are transported forward again by the transmission belt. In this way, the automatic loading operation of the plectrums is completed by the present loading device.

[0046] The details are as follows:

[0047] A supporting mechanism 5 and a lifting mechanism 7 are provided at the loading station 21. The lifting mechanism 7 includes a support plate 77 arranged at a position directly below the middle of the two transmission belts, and a pushing structure for driving the support plate 77 to move upward. The pushing structure includes a second pushing element 76, a support plate 75, a fixed plate 74 and a first pushing element 73 arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The push rods of the first pushing element 73 and the second pushing element 76 are respectively vertically upward. The fixed plate 74 is fixed on the bracket 1. The first pushing element 73 is installed on the fixed plate 74. The support plate 75 is installed on the pushing end of the first pushing element 73. The second pushing element 76 is installed on the support plate 75. The support plate 77 is installed on the pushing end of the second pushing element 76. To ensure linear vertical movement of support plate 77, guide mechanisms are provided between support plate 77 and support plate 75, and between support plate 75 and fixed plate 74. The principles of these two guide mechanisms are identical, and the guide mechanism between support plate 75 and fixed plate 74 is used here as an example. Fixed plate 74 is provided with a guide sleeve 72, which has a guide hole concentric with the guide sleeve 72. A guide post 71 corresponding to the guide sleeve is provided on the bottom surface of support plate 75 in the vertical direction, and the guide post 71 is mounted in the guide sleeve. This guide mechanism ensures linear upward movement of support plate 75. The support mechanism 5 includes a plug plate 52 horizontally arranged at the outer position above each transmission belt, and a fifth pushing element 51 that pushes the plug plate 52 to move toward the inner side of the transmission belt. In this embodiment, there are two plug plates 52 corresponding to each transmission belt, that is, there are four plug plates 52 in total. The four plug plates 52 are located in the same horizontal plane. Each plug plate 52 corresponds to a fifth pushing element 51, and the fifth pushing element 51 is installed on the bracket 1. The push rod of the fifth pushing element 51 is horizontal and perpendicular to the conveying direction of the transmission belt, and the push rod of the fifth pushing element 51 is arranged toward the center line of the transmission belt. The connection structure of the plug plate 52 and the fifth pushing element 51 is shown in FIG. Figure 3As shown. The box opening station 22 is equipped with an opening mechanism that separates the box lid from the tray. The box opening mechanism includes a lid suction mechanism 6 and a tray fixing mechanism 8 located directly below it. The lid suction mechanism 6 includes a third pushing element 61 fixed relative to the bracket 1, with its pushing end facing vertically downward, a first flat plate 62 located at the pushing end of the third pushing element 61, and a plurality of first suction cups 63 located on the bottom surface of the first flat plate 62. The tray fixing mechanism 8 includes a fourth pushing element 81 fixed relative to the bracket 1, with its pushing end facing vertically upward and a second flat plate 82 located at its pushing end. The top surface of the second flat plate 82 is provided with a plurality of second suction cups 83. The operation station 23 processes or inspects the paddles in the opened tray. After the box bodies 4 are stacked on the conveyor belt, when loading, the first pushing element 73 pushes the support plate 77 to rise, and the support plate 77 lifts the box bodies 4 stacked on the conveyor belt upward and away from the conveyor belt until the insert plate 51 is facing the gap between the second-to-last layer of box bodies 4 and the bottom layer of box bodies 4. The fifth pushing element 51 push rod extends, and the insert plate 52 is inserted into the gap to support the second-to-last layer and above box bodies, and the first pushing element 73 push rod retracts. During the retraction of the push rod, the bottom layer of box body 4 is placed back on the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt carries the box body 4 forward to the box opening station 22. At the box opening station, the push rod of the fourth pushing element 81 extends, and the second suction cup 83 on it absorbs and fixes the tray 42 of the box body. The push rod of the third pushing element 61 extends, and the first suction cup 63 moves down to absorb the box cover. The push rod of the third pushing element 61 retracts, driving the box cover 41 upward. At this time, the box cover 41 and tray 42 of the box body 4 separate, and the box body 4 is opened. The conveyor belt moves forward again, moving the opened tray 42 to the operation station 23, where the pick in the tray is manually picked up for operation. After the operation is completed, the pick is returned, and the conveyor belt moves back until the tray 42 moves to the box opening station 22. The push rod of the third pushing element moves down, re-fastening the box cover on the tray, and then the conveyor belt moves forward again to transport and unload the material. When the second pushing element 76 is pushed back, the box body 7 is lifted up and the box body 4 is supported by the support plate 77 and the second pushing element 76 is retracted. When the gap between the bottom box body 4 and the second to last box body adjacent to it is opposite to the insertion plate 52, the second pushing element 76 is retracted to the initial position, the fifth pushing element 51 is extended, and the new second to last box body and above are supported again. The push rod of the first pushing element 73 is returned to the initial state. At this time, the bottom box body supported on it is placed on the conveyor belt and transported to the box opening station 22 by the conveyor belt, and the box opening operation is continued at this box opening station. The box opening operation process is the same as the previous box opening process and will not be repeated here. This completes the automatic and continuous loading of materials.In this embodiment, the first, second, third, fourth and fifth pushing elements are preferably cylinder structures.

[0048] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the rapid insertion of the plug-in board 52 into the support, the bottom surface of the plug-in board 52 is an inclined surface structure with the plug-in front end tilted upward, and the bottom surface of the plug-in board 52 and its top surface form a conical plug-in structure.

[0049] In this embodiment, the loading station 21 is equipped with a limiting mechanism 3 for limiting the position of the stacked boxes. The limiting mechanism 3 includes two first limiting plates 31 positioned outside one conveyor belt and a second limiting plate 32 positioned outside the other conveyor belt. The first and second limiting plates are L-shaped plates arranged horizontally at right angles. The two first limiting plates 31 and the two second limiting plates 32 form a storage space for the stacked boxes. The top of the first limiting plate 31 is positioned lower than the second limiting plate 32. This structure ensures that the stacked boxes are neatly stacked and facilitates the operator's placement of the boxes.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
