The speed at which the positioning conveyor 203 conveys the box body is greater than the speed at which the incoming material conveyor 201 conveys the box body.

[0037] Furthermore, the differential conveyor 02 also includes a blocking mechanism 202 for blocking the box, and the blocking mechanism 202 includes a blocking plate 202.1, a linear guide rail 202.2 and a blocking cylinder 202.3.

[0041] The specification recognition mechanism 03 is connected to the control system. The specification recognition mechanism 03 identifies each material entering the differential conveyor 02 and sends the identification information to the control system. After the first box is released, it leaves the identification range of the specification recognition. The second box is blocked by the blocking mechanism and the specification recognition mechanism identifies the second box.

[0042] Furthermore, a specification recognition mechanism 03 is installed on the frame at the material entrance of the differential conveyor 02. The specification recognition mechanism 03 is connected to the control system. The specification recognition mechanism 03 identifies each box entering the differential conveyor 02 and sends the identification information to the control system. The box is affixed with a QR code. The specification recognition mechanism 03 is equipped with a barcode scanner for identifying the QR code. The control system reads the character string scanned by the barcode scanner and distinguishes the specifications of the box through the character string. The stacking method of boxes of each specification is the same (for example, the 1st to 5th boxes are placed upright, the 6th to 10th boxes are placed sideways, and the 11th to 20th boxes are placed upright). The control system first determines the specification of the box by scanning the code, and then determines the posture of the box by counting the boxes and combining the number of robot stacking.

[0043] Working principle:

[0044] The head end of the differential conveyor 02 is the feed end, which is connected to the upstream material conveying line. The differential mechanism 204 connects the incoming conveyor 201 and the positioning conveyor 203 to provide different speeds of power for the incoming conveyor 201 and the positioning conveyor 203. The speed of the positioning conveyor 203 is higher than that of the incoming conveyor 201. The box is blocked on the incoming conveyor 201 by the blocking mechanism 202 on the differential conveyor 02. The specification recognition mechanism 03 identifies each material entering the differential conveyor 02 and sends the identification information to the control system. When the blocking mechanism 202 receives the release command from the control system, it opens the blocking plate 202.1. After the first box is released, it leaves the recognition range of the specification recognition 03.

[0045] The first box is transported away from the incoming material conveyor 201 and into the positioning conveyor 203. Since the speed of the positioning conveyor 203 is higher than that of the incoming material conveyor 201, the distance between the first box and the second box connected thereto is enlarged. When the first box completely leaves the blocking mechanism 202, the installation position of the through-beam photoelectric sensor 206 is in front of the blocking plate 202.1, so that the first box-type material is detected as soon as it leaves the blocking plate 202.1 and the feedback is given to the control system, thereby controlling the blocking plate 202.1 to rise and block the next box. At the same time, the specification recognition mechanism 03 recognizes the second box.

[0046] The specifications of the box materials are identified one by one by the specification recognition mechanism 03 on the differential conveyor 02. The specification recognition mechanism sends the specification information to the control system. The control system sends a command to the differential conveyor 02 to release the boxes with identified specifications one by one and convey them to the end of the differential conveyor 02. At the same time, the information of the stacking robot is combined to comprehensively judge the box posture required by the stacking robot and send a command to the corresponding actuator: when the box needs to be placed upright, the box is directly conveyed to the end of the differential conveyor 02, and the positive posture positioning mechanism 04 positions the box at the positive posture material picking position waiting for the stacking robot to grab it; when the box needs to be placed upright, the upright posture flipping mechanism 05 executes an action to flip the box to the upright posture material picking position waiting for the stacking robot to grab it; when the box needs to be placed sideways, the side posture flipping mechanism 07 executes an action to flip the box to the side posture material picking position waiting for the stacking robot to grab it.
