[0043] In order to make the technical problem solved by the present invention, the technical solution adopted and the technical effect achieved more clearly, the technical solution of the present invention is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0044] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0045] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0046] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "right", "left" and other directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operate in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0047] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 8 The specific structure of the material correcting mechanism 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0048] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the material correction mechanism of the embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 1, a storage part 2, a first alignment component 3 and a second alignment component 4. The storage part 2 can be raised and lowered on the frame 1, and the storage part 2 is configured to place materials. The first alignment component 3 can be movably arranged on the frame 1, and the first alignment component 3 can cooperate with the storage part 2 to fix the position of the material in the first direction. The second alignment component 4 can be movably arranged on the frame 1, and the second alignment component 4 can cooperate with the storage part 2 to fix the position of the material in the second direction; wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0049] For the convenience of description, the first direction hereinafter refers to the front-rear direction of the rack 1 , and the second direction refers to the left-right direction of the rack 2 .

[0050] It can be understood that, since the storage member 2 is arranged on the frame 1 in a liftable manner, the materials placed on the storage member 2 can have different heights to meet different requirements of loading and unloading processes. The first alignment component 3 can cooperate with the storage member 2 and make the material have a fixed position in the first direction of the storage member 2, and the second alignment component 4 can cooperate with the storage member 2 and make the material have a fixed position in the second direction of the storage member 2; when the material is placed on the storage member 2, the position of the material in the first direction can be corrected by the first alignment component 3, and the position of the material in the second direction can be corrected by the second alignment component 4, so that the material correction mechanism 100 can quickly complete the correction of the material, and the correction speed is fast and the correction position is accurate, meeting the requirements of the production line. In addition, since the first alignment component 3 and the second alignment component 4 can both be movably arranged on the frame 1, the first alignment component 3 and the second alignment component 4 can both complete the correction operation on materials with different first direction dimensions and second direction dimensions, so that the material correction mechanism 100 can meet the correction of materials with different sizes on different production lines, and improve the adaptability of the material correction mechanism 100.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 2As shown, the first alignment component 3 includes a first alignment member 31, a second alignment member 32 and a first driving component 33. The first alignment member 31 and the second alignment member 32 are arranged opposite to each other in a first direction. The first driving component 33 is connected to the frame 1 and can drive the first alignment member 31 and the second alignment member 32 to move toward or away from each other along the first direction.

[0052] It can be understood that the first alignment member 31 provided at the front side of the storage member 2 can correct the front position of the material, and the second alignment member 32 provided at the rear side of the storage member 2 can correct the rear position of the material, and the combination of the two can make the material complete the correction in the first direction. The first driving component 33 can drive the first alignment member 31 and the second alignment member 32 to move in the direction of approaching or moving away from each other along the first direction of the storage member 2, so that the alignment size between the first alignment member 31 and the second alignment member 32 can be arbitrarily changed and is not limited to a few fixed values, and materials with different sizes in the first direction can be corrected under the action of the first alignment component 3, thereby improving the adaptability of the material alignment mechanism.

[0053] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the first driving assembly 33 includes two first transmission wheels 331, a first transmission belt 332 and a first driving member 333. The first driving member 333 is drivingly connected to one of the two first transmission wheels 331, and the first transmission belt 332 is wound around the two first transmission wheels 331. The first alignment member 31 and the second alignment member 32 are fixedly connected to the first transmission belt 332 on both sides of the first transmission wheel 331 respectively.

[0054] It can be understood that the conveyor belt system has the characteristics of low cost, easy installation and high efficiency. The first driving component 33 includes two first conveyor wheels 331, a first conveyor belt 332 and a first driving member 333. The first driving member 333 can drive one first conveyor wheel 331 to rotate, and the driven first conveyor wheel 331 can drive the other first conveyor wheel 331 to rotate through the first conveyor belt 332 and drive the first conveyor belt 332 to move at the same time; the first alignment member 31 and the second alignment member 32 respectively cooperate with the two parts of the first conveyor belt 332 that are arranged opposite to each other, so that the first alignment member 31 and the second alignment member 32 can move with the movement of the first conveyor belt 332; since the movement directions of the two parts of the first conveyor belt 332 are opposite, when the parts are located on the first conveyor belt When the first alignment member 31 of a part of 332 moves toward the direction close to the second alignment member 32 driven by the first conveyor belt 332, the second alignment member 32 of another part of the first conveyor belt 332 moves toward the direction close to the first alignment member 31 driven by the first conveyor belt 332; on the contrary, when the first alignment member 31 of a part of the first conveyor belt 332 moves toward the direction away from the second alignment member 32 driven by the first conveyor belt 332, the second alignment member 32 of another part of the first conveyor belt 332 moves toward the direction away from the first alignment member 31 driven by the first conveyor belt 332, thereby realizing the first alignment member 31 and the second alignment member 32 moving toward or away from each other along the first direction of the placement member 2. The first driving member 333 is a stepping motor. The above structure can not only ensure the correction efficiency and correction accuracy of the material correction mechanism 100, but also reduce the production cost of the material correction mechanism. Preferably, the first conveyor wheel 331 is a synchronous wheel, and the first conveyor belt 332 is a synchronous belt, and the synchronous wheel and the synchronous belt can make the movement of the first alignment member 31 and the second alignment member 32 more stable and reliable. Of course, in the material correction mechanism 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, a cylinder or a sliding module can also be selected to drive the first alignment member 31 and the second alignment member 32, and a synchronous wheel mechanism or a servo motor can be selected as the first driving member 333.

[0055] In some embodiments, Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the first alignment member 31 includes two first alignment plates 311 and a first connecting assembly 312. One end of the first connecting assembly 312 is fixedly connected to the two first alignment plates 311, and the other end of the first connecting assembly 312 is fixedly connected to the first conveyor belt 332. The second alignment member 32 includes two second alignment plates 321 and a second connecting assembly 322, one end of the second connecting assembly 322 is fixedly connected to the two second alignment plates 321, and the other end of the second connecting assembly 322 is fixedly connected to the first conveyor belt 332.

[0056] Specifically, the first connecting assembly 312 is provided with a first clamping member 3121 fixedly connected to the first conveyor belt 332, and the second connecting assembly 322 is provided with a second clamping member 3221 fixedly connected to the first conveyor belt 332. The first connecting assembly 312 also includes two first connecting plates 3122, the two first connecting plates 3122 respectively connect the two ends of the two first alignment plates 311, and one end of the first clamping member 3121 is connected to the first connecting plate 3122, and the other end of the first clamping member 3121 cooperates with and is fixedly connected to the first conveyor belt 332; the second connecting assembly 322 also includes two second connecting plates 3222, the two second connecting plates 3222 respectively connect the two ends of the two second alignment plates 321, and one end of the second clamping member 3221 is connected to the second connecting plate 3222, and the other end of the second clamping member 3221 cooperates with and is fixedly connected to the first conveyor belt 332. The above structure can improve the stability of the connection between the first alignment plate 311, the second alignment plate 321 and the first conveyor belt 332. Of course, in the material correction mechanism 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, other structures can also be used to connect the first alignment plate 311, the second alignment plate 321 and the first conveyor belt 332.

[0057] In some embodiments, Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the first alignment member 31 also includes a first slider 313, which is fixedly connected to the first connecting component 312; the second alignment member 32 also includes a second slider 323, which is fixedly connected to the second connecting component 322; the frame 1 is provided with a first guide rail 334 that slidably cooperates with the first slider 313 and the second slider 323.

[0058] It can be understood that the cooperation between the first slider 313 and the second slider 323 and the first guide rail 334 can enable the first alignment member 31 and the second alignment member 32 to move stably on the frame 1 and complete the alignment of the material in the first direction. Of course, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first alignment member 31 and the second alignment member 32 can also complete the alignment of the material in the first direction on the frame 1 through other movement methods.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the second alignment component 4 includes a third alignment member 41, a fourth alignment member 42 and a second drive component 43. The third alignment member 41 and the fourth alignment member 42 are arranged opposite to each other in the second direction, and the fourth alignment member 42 can move along the second direction of the storage member 2 and approach or move away from the third alignment member 41 under the action of the second drive component 43. The second drive component 43 is connected to the frame 1 and can drive the fourth alignment member 42 and the third alignment member 41 to move toward or away from each other along the second direction.

[0060] It can be understood that when the fourth alignment member 42 moves along the second direction of the storage member 2 and approaches or moves away from the third alignment member 41 under the action of the second driving component 43, the distance between the fourth alignment member 42 and the third alignment member 41 decreases or increases. One side of the material stops against the third alignment member 41, and when the fourth alignment member 42 moves to stop against the material under the action of the second driving member 433, the material can be corrected in the second direction of the storage member 2. Since the distance between the fourth alignment member 42 and the third alignment member 41 can be adjusted, the correction size of the material in the second direction of the storage member 2 can also be adjusted accordingly, so that the material correction mechanism 100 can correct materials with different sizes in the second direction of the storage member 2, thereby improving the application range of the material correction mechanism 100.

[0061] In some embodiments, Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the second driving component 43 includes two second conveying wheels 431, a second conveying belt 432 and a second driving member 433. The second driving member 433 drives and connects one of the two second conveying wheels 431, and the second conveying belt 432 is wound around the two second conveying wheels 431; the fourth positioning member 42 is fixedly connected to the second conveying belt 432 on one side of the second conveying belt 432.

[0062] It can be understood that when the second driving member 433 drives a second transmission wheel 431 to move, the second transmission wheel 431 will drive the second conveyor belt 432 to move and further drive another second transmission wheel 431 to move. When the second conveyor belt 432 moves, the fourth alignment member 42 connected to the second conveyor belt 432 will also move accordingly, and the movement direction of the fourth moving member can be adjusted by adjusting the movement direction of the second transmission wheel 431 connected to the second driving member 433. The above structure can not only ensure the alignment efficiency and alignment accuracy of the material alignment mechanism 100, but also reduce the production cost of the material alignment mechanism. Preferably, the second transmission wheel 431 is a synchronous wheel, and the second conveyor belt 432 is a synchronous belt. The synchronous wheel and the synchronous belt can make the movement of the fourth alignment member 42 more stable and reliable. Of course, in the material alignment mechanism 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, a cylinder or a sliding module can also be selected to drive the fourth alignment member 42 to achieve the purpose of material alignment.

[0063] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, Figure 5 As shown, the second driving member 433 includes a driving wheel 4331, a driven wheel 4332 and a transmission belt 4333. The driven wheel 4332 is coaxially arranged with a second transmission wheel 431. The driving wheel 4331 and the driven wheel 4332 are spaced apart. The transmission belt 4333 is wound around the driven wheel 4332 and the driving wheel 4331.

[0064] It is understandable that, since the two second transmission wheels 431 are both arranged in the middle of the frame 1, it is inconvenient to drive the second transmission wheels 431 in some cases. In order to facilitate the operator to drive the movement of the second transmission wheels 431 and further drive the fourth alignment member 42 to move, the second driving member 433 is arranged as a transmission wheel mechanism to drive the second transmission wheels 431 to rotate. Specifically, the second driving member 433 includes a driven wheel 4332, a driving wheel 4331 and a transmission belt 4333. The driven wheel 4332 is coaxially arranged with one of the second transmission wheels 431. The driving wheel 4331 is spaced apart from the driven wheel 4332 and arranged on the periphery of the frame 1. The driving wheel 4331 is coaxially arranged with the driving handle 4334. The driven wheel 4332 and the driving wheel 4331 are connected by a transmission belt 4333. When the operator rotates the driving handle 4334, the driving handle 4334 drives the driving wheel 4331 to rotate, the driving wheel 4331 drives the driven wheel 4332 to rotate through the transmission belt 4333, the driven wheel 4332 drives the second transmission wheel 431 to rotate, the second transmission wheel 431 drives the second transmission belt 432 to move and the fourth alignment member 42 to move. Since the movement direction of the second transmission belt 432 will also change when the rotation direction of the driving handle 4334 is changed, the fourth alignment member 42 can be driven away from or close to the third alignment member 41 by changing the rotation direction of the driving handle 4334. Using the transmission wheel mechanism as the second driving member 433 can not only reduce the cost of the material correction mechanism 100, but also provide stable and reliable control of the movement of the fourth alignment member 42. In addition, the second driving member 433 also includes a locking block 4335 and a locking member 4336, the locking block 4335 is connected to the frame 1, the driving handle 4334 and the rotating shaft of the driving wheel 4331 are inserted into the locking block 4335, the locking member 4336 and the locking block 4335 are threadedly matched, and the locking member 4336 can lock the rotating shaft inserted into the locking block 4335 and prevent it from rotating, so as to achieve the purpose of fixing the position of the fourth alignment member 42. Preferably, the driving wheel 4331 and the driven wheel 4332 are synchronous wheels, and the transmission belt 4333 is a synchronous belt. Of course, in this embodiment, a motor or the like can be selected as the second driving member 433.

[0065] In addition, if Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the second driving component 43 also includes a support member 434, which is located above the second driving member 433 and connected to the frame 1, and a second guide rail 435 is provided on the support member 434; one end of the third alignment member 41 is provided with a third slider 411 that cooperates with the second guide rail 435, and one end of the fourth alignment member 42 is provided with a fourth slider 421 that cooperates with the second guide rail 435, the third slider 411 is connected to the frame 1 through the first connecting member 412, and the fourth slider 421 is connected to the second conveyor belt 432 through the second connecting member 422. When the first driving assembly 33 and the second driving assembly 43 use a transmission wheel mechanism, the transmission wheel mechanisms of the two will cross and have different horizontal plane heights. If the first guide rail 334 and the second guide rail 435 used to support the movement of the first alignment assembly 3 and the second alignment assembly 4 are set on the same horizontal plane, the alignment member of one of the first alignment assembly 3 and the second alignment assembly 4 will be blocked by the running track of the other alignment member during movement, and the material cannot be smoothly corrected in the first direction or the second direction of the storage member 2. In order to avoid the above phenomenon, the second driving assembly 43 also includes a support member 434, which is connected to the frame 1 and is located above the second driving assembly 433, and the second guide rail 435 used to support the movement of the fourth alignment member 42 is set on the support member 434. Specifically, a third slider 411 is provided at one end of the third alignment member 41 to cooperate with the second guide rail 435, a fourth slider 421 is provided at one end of the fourth alignment member 42 to cooperate with the second guide rail 435, the third slider 411 is connected to the frame 1 through the first connection 412 to fix the third alignment member 41, the fourth slider 421 is connected to the second conveyor belt 432 through the second connection member 422, and a clamping portion is provided at one end of the second connection member 422 to enable the second connection member 422 to be firmly connected to the second conveyor belt 432. Through the above-mentioned structural setting, the movement of the fourth alignment member 42 will no longer be affected by the first drive assembly 33 below it. Of course, in this embodiment, if the first drive assembly 33 and the second drive assembly 43 use other types of components, other structural settings can also be used to enable the fourth alignment member 42 to stably complete the correction function of the material in the second direction.

[0066] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the material alignment mechanism also includes an auxiliary alignment component 5, there are two auxiliary alignment components 5, and both auxiliary alignment components 5 can be rotatably arranged on the first alignment component 3; the two auxiliary alignment components 5 can cooperate and fix the position of the material in the first direction of the storage part 2.

[0067] It can be understood that since the minimum correction size of the first alignment component 3 is limited by the matching relationship between the first alignment component 3 and the storage component 2 and has a minimum value, when the size of the material in the first direction of the storage component 2 is smaller than the minimum value, the first alignment component 3 will not be able to correct the material in the first direction of the storage component 2. In order to enable the material correction mechanism 100 to continue to complete the correction of the storage component 2 in the first direction under the above circumstances, two auxiliary alignment components 5 are further provided in the material correction mechanism 100, and the two auxiliary alignment components 5 are respectively rotatably provided on the first alignment component 3. When the material size is within the range that the first alignment component 3 can handle, the two auxiliary alignment components 5 are both rotated to the second direction of the placement piece 2. At this time, the two auxiliary alignment components 5 will not affect the correction of the first alignment component 3 in the first direction of the placement piece 2; when the material size is smaller than the range that the first alignment component 3 can handle, the two auxiliary alignment components 5 are both rotated to the first direction of the placement piece 2. Since the distance between the two auxiliary alignment components 5 is smaller than the distance of the material in the first direction of the placement piece 2 limited by the first alignment component 3, the material can complete its correction in the first direction of the placement piece 2 through the two auxiliary alignment components 5.

[0068] More specifically, each auxiliary alignment component 5 includes an auxiliary alignment member 51, an elastic member 52 and a limiting portion 53. One auxiliary alignment member 51 is rotatably connected to the side of the first alignment member 31 close to the third alignment member 41 through the elastic member 53, and the other auxiliary alignment member 51 is rotatably connected to the side of the second alignment member 32 close to the third alignment member 41 through the elastic member 52. The elastic member 52 can ensure that the two auxiliary alignment members 51 still have a stable position when the first alignment member 31 and the second alignment member 32 move. In addition, the limiting portion 53 is set at the connection between the two auxiliary alignment members 51 and the first alignment member 31 or the second alignment member 32 so that they can only rotate at a position close to the third alignment member 41 or a position close to the second alignment member 32. When one auxiliary alignment component 5 is located near the second alignment member 32 and the other is located near the first alignment member 31, the two auxiliary alignment components 5 can limit the smaller size of the material in the first direction, thereby completing the correction of the small-sized material in the first direction of the storage member 2. Preferably, the elastic member 52 is a tension spring.

[0069] In some specific embodiments, Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the material straightening mechanism 100 further includes a driving mechanism 6, which is located below the frame 1. The driving mechanism 6 is connected to the storage member 2 and can drive the storage member 2 to move in the up and down directions.

[0070] It is understandable that, in actual use, the material alignment mechanism 100 generally stacks multiple materials on the storage part 2, and when an external device takes the materials in the material alignment mechanism 100, it takes the materials from a specified height position. In order to realize that the material alignment mechanism can stably provide the materials at the specified height position to the external device, a driving mechanism 6 is set below the frame 1 to drive the storage part 2 to move in the up and down direction. Specifically, the driving screw 61 of the driving mechanism 6 passes through the frame 1 and is connected to the storage part 2. The driving mechanism 6 can drive the driving screw 61 to move up and down and drive the storage part 2 to move up and down; the material alignment mechanism 100 is also provided with a first support shaft 62 and a second support shaft 63 that are inserted in the frame 1 and connected to the storage part 2. The first support shaft 62 cooperates with a linear bearing 64 inserted in the frame 1 and is connected to the storage part 2. The first support shaft 62 can support and balance the storage part 2; the second support shaft 63 is hollow, and the hollow part can provide a routing channel for the material alignment mechanism 100.

[0071] In some specific embodiments, the second alignment component 4 includes a detection device 413, which is communicated with the driving mechanism 6. The driving mechanism 6 is configured to drive the placement member 2 to move when the detection device 413 detects that the height of the material is not at the specified position, so that the height of the material reaches the specified position.

[0072] It can be understood that a detection device 413 is provided on the second alignment component 4. Specifically, the detection device 413 is arranged on the third alignment member 41 fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the position of the detection device 413 on the third alignment member 41 is the same as the specified height position. When the material at the specified height position is taken away, the detection device 413 cannot sense the material and drive the driving mechanism 6 to drive the storage member 2 to move upward, so that the height of the material not taken away is at the specified height position, thereby achieving that the top material of the stacked material is always at the specified height position until all the stacked materials are taken away. The above structure enables the material correction mechanism 100 to provide materials to the external device without manual operation, thereby improving the working efficiency of the production line where the material correction mechanism 100 is located. More specifically, in this embodiment, the detection device 413 is a FU-35TZ type optical fiber device. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, other detection devices 413 can also be selected, and the specific model of the detection device 413 is not limited here. In addition, the storage member 2 includes a storage plate 21, and the storage plate 21 is also provided with a sensing hole 22 at a position close to the third alignment member 41, and a sensing member 23 is provided below the sensing hole 22, and the sensing member 23 can detect whether there is material on the support member 434. In some cases, the stacked materials are prone to sticking to each other, and the external device takes away multiple pieces of material when taking away the material, which has a negative impact on the subsequent production process. In order to separate the materials that are stuck together, an airflow generating member 414 is also provided on the third alignment member 41, and the airflow generating member 414 can emit airflow and separate the stacked and stuck materials from each other, thereby improving the working efficiency of the production line where the material straightening mechanism 100 is located.

[0073] It should be noted here that the detection device 413 is communicatively connected with the driving mechanism 6. The communication connection here can be through a cable or a wifi signal. The connection method between the detection device 413 and the driving mechanism 6 is a conventional connection method in the control field and no further explanation is needed.

[0074] In some specific embodiments, Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the material correction mechanism 100 also includes a first limiter 11, a second limiter 12 and a third limiter 13. There are two first limiters 11, and the two first limiters 11 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the vertical stroke of the object placement member 2. There are multiple second limiters 12, and the multiple second limiters 12 are all arranged on the frame 1 to prevent the object placement member 2 from colliding. There are multiple third limiters 13, and the multiple third limiters 13 are all arranged on the frame 1 to limit the stroke of the first alignment member 31 and the second alignment member 32.

[0075] It can be understood that the first limiter 11 can limit the placement member 2 from exceeding the stroke when moving in the up and down directions. When the first limiter 11 fails, the second limiter 12 can prevent the placement member 2 from continuing to move downward and causing a collision. Since the first alignment component 3 is driven by the first drive member 333, in order to prevent the first alignment component 3 from moving beyond the limited stroke due to misoperation by personnel, multiple third limiters 13 are provided to limit the stroke of the first alignment component 31 and the second alignment component 32. When the first alignment component 31 and the second alignment component 32 move beyond the stroke, multiple third limiters 13 stop the first drive component 33 from driving the movement of the first alignment component 31 and the second alignment component 32. The provision of the first limiter 11, the second limiter 12 and the third limiter 13 can improve the safety of the material correction mechanism 100 during operation and avoid production line operation losses caused by unexpected situations.

[0076] like Figure 8 As shown, the double material box device of the embodiment of the present invention includes a sliding track 101 and the aforementioned material correction mechanism 100. The sliding track 101 is provided with a loading position 1011, a working position 1012 and a loading position 1011 in sequence. There are two material correction mechanisms 100, and the frames 1 of the two material correction mechanisms 100 are both slidably connected to the sliding track 101. Among them, the two material correction mechanisms 100 slide and switch between the loading position 1011 and the working position 1012 respectively.

[0077] Specifically, the double material box device further includes a third connecting assembly 102 and a cylinder slide 103. The cylinder slide 103 is provided with a sliding member 1031, which can move under the drive of the cylinder of the cylinder slide 103, and the sliding member 1031 is fixedly connected to the third connecting assembly 102. It can be understood that in the existing production line, after the material in the material box is taken by the external device, it is necessary to stop the machine and reload the material, which will reduce the production efficiency of the production line and increase the time cost of the production line. During the operation of the double material box device provided in this embodiment, there is always a material correction mechanism 100 located at the working position 1012 to cooperate with the external device, and the other material correction mechanism 100 is located at the loading position 1011 and can be loaded manually or by machine, so that when the material of the material correction mechanism 100 located at the working position 1012 is used up, the two material correction mechanisms 100 move on the sliding track 101 so that the material correction mechanism 100 that has completed loading enters the working position 1012, and the empty material correction mechanism 100 enters the loading position 1011 to load. Through the above arrangement, it can be ensured that during the operation of the production line, there is always a material correction mechanism 100 that can provide materials for the external device, thereby improving the work efficiency of the production line, and the double material box device can be loaded without stopping, further saving the time of the entire production line, improving the work efficiency of the production line, and reducing the time cost of the production line. In addition, in order to improve the stability of the operation of the entire double material box device, one end of the sliding member 1031 is connected to the drag chain 105 through the sheet metal member 104.
