[0025] The pushing mechanism 3 includes a pushing cylinder 31 and a pushing plate 32 . The pushing plate 32 is disposed at the telescopic end of the pushing cylinder 31 and can penetrate the unloading channel 211 when driven by the pushing cylinder 31 .

[0026] The material blocking mechanism 4 includes a lifting cylinder 41 and a block 42 . The block 42 is arranged at the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 41 . The block 42 is driven by the lifting cylinder 41 to block the side of the material discharge channel 211 close to the material storage pipe 72 .

[0027] The product falls into the storage pipe through the feed pipe, and is sensed by the over-feed sensor 81 on one side of the feed pipe. The push cylinder drives the push plate to withdraw from the discharge channel, and the product can fall into the discharge channel. It is sensed by the material sensor 82, and the lifting cylinder drives the block to move down to block one side of the discharge channel. At the same time, the vacuum adsorption mechanism generates negative pressure adsorption in the discharge channel through the air nozzle, and suction cleans the product in the discharge channel to ensure the cleanliness of the product; when the adsorption and cleaning is completed, the blocking mechanism is reset, and the push cylinder drives the push plate to push the product through the discharge channel to the feeding mechanism to complete the discharge action.

[0028] The vacuum suction mechanism includes a vacuum generator 51 and a vacuum filter 52. The vacuum filter 52 is arranged between the vacuum generator 51 and the suction nozzle 53. The vacuum filter can collect tiny dust.

[0029] The feeding mechanism 6 includes a feeding seat 61, a feeding pipe 63, a blowing nozzle 62 and a mounting seat 64.

A blowing nozzle 62 is provided on the upper part of the feeding seat, and the lower end of the feeding seat is fixedly connected to the feeding pipe 63. The blowing nozzle 62 is connected to the air source.

[0030] The product is pushed into the feeding seat from the unloading channel through the push plate, and the product can be fed into the feeding pipe at an accelerated speed through the provided blowing nozzle, thereby improving the conveying efficiency.

[0031] A translation cylinder 65 is provided on the frame, and a mounting seat 64 is fixed on the translation cylinder 65. The number of feed pipes 63 is greater than the number of discharge channels 211. The multiple feed pipes 63 can be selectively aligned with the discharge channels 211 by being driven by the translation cylinder 65.

The number of unloading outlets connecting the unloading port and the feeding pipe on the feeding seat corresponds to the number of feeding pipes. The product can enter the unloading port through the unloading channel, and then enter the feeding pipe through the unloading port. The feeding pipe is connected to the external equipment. By setting a translation cylinder, the unloading port can be aligned with different unloading outlets on the feeding seat, so that the product can enter different processing equipment through different feeding pipes. In case of failure of external equipment, the product can be transported to another processing equipment by switching the unloading pipe through which the product passes, without affecting the processing efficiency.

[0033] The drop sensor 83 can provide feedback so that the push cylinder can push the next product into the feeding seat; at the same time, based on the feedback from the drop sensor, the external device into which the product enters through the feeding tube can be clearly identified.

[0034] A baffle plate 23 is provided on one side of the material discharge channel 211 close to the material discharge port 212 to assist the push plate in pushing the product into the feeding seat.
