The opening direction of the blocking opening 82 faces upward, and the inner diameter of the blocking opening 82 is smaller than the outer diameter of the material tray 9, and the inner diameter of the blocking opening 82 is not less than the width of the clamping arm 724. Hand 7 takes out the material tray from the storage rack 5 and places it on the discharge conveyor belt 8. When the material tray is placed on the discharge conveyor belt 8, the clamp arm 724 holding the material tray extends from above the blocking port to the discharge conveyor belt 8 and moves downward into the blocking port. The first clamp arm 725 moves in a direction away from the second clamp arm 726. The clamp arm 724 releases the material tray and moves out of the blocking port. The material tray falls onto the discharge conveyor belt 8 under the stop of the blocking port, and the material tray is conveyed to the waiting table 6 along the discharge conveyor belt 8. In the example, the plurality of blocking ports can be set with different widths, and material trays of different sizes match blocking ports of different widths.

[0061] The material waiting table 6 is arranged at one end of the material discharging conveyor belt 8 along the conveying direction.

When a small-sized material tray is conveyed to the material waiting table, such as a 7-inch material tray, the second movable baffle 63 is moved toward the direction close to the material waiting table by a driving motor. When a large-sized material tray is conveyed to the material waiting table, such as a 14-inch material tray, the second movable baffle 63 is moved toward the direction away from the material waiting table by a driving motor to ensure that the center position of the material tray is at the same position of the material waiting table, so as to facilitate the robot arm to accurately take out the material tray. The second movable baffle 63 plays the role of positioning and stopping the material tray, which is convenient for the robot arm to accurately take out the material tray and prevent the material tray from falling from the waiting table. The second movable baffle 63 is provided with a gap, which is convenient for the robot arm to extend into the waiting table through the gap and then take out the material tray. Of course, the material tray is not limited to 7 inches and 14 inches, and there can be material trays of other sizes. In the example, the waiting table 6 is arranged on the outside of the discharge port 12 of the storage bin. When the material tray is transferred from the discharge conveyor belt 8 to the waiting table 6, the first movable baffle 62 shrinks, the material tray is transferred to the waiting table 6, and the second movable baffle 63 moves to a position suitable for the material tray. The waiting conveyor belt 61 transfers the material tray to the second movable baffle 63. The second movable baffle 63 provides a positioning position for the material tray to be taken and placed.

The power supply is arranged on the material rack body 31, and the indicator lights are electrically connected with the power supply.

[0065] The mobile material rack 3 also includes a charging pile, which is fixed on the ground. A charging slot is provided on the charging pile. A charging head matching the charging slot is provided on the material rack body 31. Preferably, the charging head is conical, and the charging slot is a conical slot. A charging shrapnel is provided at the bottom of the conical slot. The charging head extends into the charging slot and is electrically connected to the charging shrapnel. The charging pile charges the power supply 33, and the control system controls the AGV car to move to the charging pile to automatically charge the power supply of the mobile material rack 3.

[0066] Preferably, a display screen 314 is also provided on the material rack body 31, and the display screen 314 can display material tray information.

[0067] The control system includes an AGV trolley control module, and the AGV trolley control module can control the mobile material rack to move to a specified position.

[0068] When the mobile material rack 3 stores material trays, the control system allocates the information of the material tray to be stored in the material grid of the mobile material rack 3, and the indicator light corresponding to the material grid lights up. The storage and retrieval robot 7 takes out the corresponding material tray from the storage rack 5 and places it on the discharge conveyor 8 according to the command of the control system. The discharge conveyor 8 conveys the corresponding material tray to the waiting table 6. The robot arm 2 takes out the corresponding material tray from the waiting table 6 and stores it in the corresponding material grid. The indicator light corresponding to the material grid goes out after obtaining the storage in place sensing signal, and stores them one by one until all the material trays to be stored are stored in the mobile material rack 3; according to the command of the control system, the AGV car moves the mobile material rack 3 to the material retrieval point, and the indicator light of the material grid where the material tray to be taken out is located lights up. The robot or manual takes out the material tray from the mobile material rack. The indicator light here obtains the material retrieval sensing signal and goes out. In this way, the material trays to be taken out are taken out one by one.
