[0026] In this embodiment, a support block 10 is fixedly connected to the front edge of the upper end surface of the bottom plate 1, a driving motor 11 is installed in the inner part of the support block 10, a second pulley 29 is fixedly connected to the driving motor 11 through an output shaft, a first pulley 17 is drivingly connected to the second pulley 29 through a belt 30, and the rear end surface of the first pulley 17 is fixedly connected with a cylinder 16.

[0028] In this embodiment, the alignment cylinder 19 is fixedly connected with an alignment fixed plate 20 through an output end, the material collecting frame 36 right end surface is fixedly connected with a limiting plate 22, the limiting plate 22 upper end surface is provided with a through slot 28, the limiting plate 22 lower end surface front and back edges are symmetrically fixedly connected with a limiting block 23, the limiting block 23 inside is rotatably connected with a lead screw 24 through a bearing. After the product is cut into corresponding specifications by an external micro-channel cutting machine, it is transferred by a high-speed material receiving table, and a high-speed camera is used to take pictures on the high-speed material receiving table for visual inspection. Defective materials are quickly removed, qualified products are conveyed to the feeding roller of an intelligent packing machine, and inductive switches are installed on the conveyor and the feeding roller. After the incoming materials are sensed, signals are transmitted to the driving motor 11. The output shaft of the driving motor 11 rotates the second belt pulley 29 to drive the first belt pulley 17 to rotate the cylinder 16 to drive the material receiving roller 15, so that the material receiving roller 15 sends the materials to the material pushing position. The material pushing motor 6 rotates the material pushing servo cam 5 through the output shaft to drive the support frame 4 to drive the fixed plate 7 and the material pushing plate 8, so that the material pushing plate 8 quickly sends the workpiece to the material collecting groove. The material receiving plate 34 and the material pushing plate 8 cooperate with each other. The material receiving plate 34 moves a distance backward for every material. Until a certain number of materials are accumulated, the material receiving plate 34 quickly descends through the output end of the material receiving plate lifting cylinder 32 and returns to the initial position. At the same time, the front material clamping plate 21 advances to the material position to block the material and replace the material receiving plate 34 to continue to accumulate a certain amount of material. The front material clamping plate is raised through the output end of the front material clamping plate lifting cylinder 31 to cooperate with the rear material clamping plate 21 to clamp the material. The front material clamping plate and the rear material clamping plate 21 send the material to the material arranging position through the output ends of the front material clamping plate lifting cylinder 31 and the rear material clamping plate lifting cylinder 33. Then, when the front material clamping plate and the rear material clamping plate 21 are raised, the material receiving plate 34 is also raised to enter the next cycle of operation. After the material is sent to the material arranging position, the front material clamping plate and the rear material clamping plate 21 can descend to return to the starting point and wait for the next cycle. After entering the material arranging area, the threaded transmission T-shaped sliding plate 25 is driven by rotating the lead screw 24 to drive the mounting block 26, so that the mounting block 26 drives the alignment movable plate 27 to move forward to push the material to the alignment fixed plate 20 to align the two ends of the material. Then, the alignment cylinder 19 is raised to lift the material collecting fixed plate 37, and the alignment movable plate 27 continues to push the arranged material into the packing machine. According to the designed program, the number of packing circles is different for materials of different lengths. After packing, the material is sent to the designated position by the conveyor. The whole process is repeated by the servo action to complete the whole process continuously, efficiently, quickly and safely.

[0029] In this embodiment, the screw rod 24 is externally threaded connected with a T-shaped sliding plate 25, the rear end surface of the T-shaped sliding plate 25 is fixedly connected with a mounting block 26, and the upper end surface of the mounting block 26 is mounted with an alignment movable plate 27.

[0030] In this embodiment, the lower end surface of the bottom plate 1 is fixedly connected with a front material clamping plate lifting cylinder 31, a material receiving plate lifting cylinder 32, a rear material clamping plate lifting cylinder 33 and the material pushing motor 6 respectively, the rear material clamping plate lifting cylinder 33 is fixedly connected with the rear material clamping plate 21 through an output end, the front material clamping plate lifting cylinder 31 is fixedly connected with a front material clamping plate through an output end, and the material receiving plate lifting cylinder 32 is fixedly connected with a material receiving plate 34 through an output end.

[0031] In this embodiment, the inner cavity of the material receiving groove 35 is slidably connected with the rear material clamping plate 21 and the material receiving plate 34 respectively.

[0032] When using: the product is cut into corresponding specifications by the external micro-channel cutting machine, and is transferred by the high-speed receiving table. We use a high-speed camera to take pictures and visually detect on the high-speed receiving table. The defective waste is quickly removed, and the qualified products are conveyed to the feeding roller of the intelligent packing machine. The inductance switch is installed on the conveying machine and the feeding roller. When the incoming material is sensed, the signal is transmitted to the driving motor 11. The output shaft of the driving motor 11 rotates the second belt pulley 29 to drive the first belt pulley 17 to rotate the cylinder 16 to drive the receiving roller 15 to send the material to the pushing position. The pushing motor 6 drives the pushing servo cam 5 through the output shaft to drive the support frame 4 to drive the fixed plate 7 and the pushing plate 8, so that the pushing plate 8 quickly sends the workpiece to the receiving groove. The receiving plate 34 moves a distance backward for each incoming material, and returns to the initial position after a certain number of materials. At the same time, the rear clamping plate 21 advances to the material position to block the material and replace the receiving plate 34 to continue to accumulate a certain amount of material. The front clamping plate is lifted by the output end of the front clamping plate lifting cylinder 31 to cooperate with the rear clamping plate 21 to clamp the material. The output ends of the front clamping plate lifting cylinder 31 and the rear clamping plate lifting cylinder 33 drive the front clamping plate and the rear clamping plate 21 to send the material to the material arranging position. Then, when the front clamping plate and the rear clamping plate 21 are lifted by the output ends of the front clamping plate lifting cylinder 31 and the rear clamping plate lifting cylinder 33, the receiving plate 34 is lifted at the same time, and enters the next cycle. After the material is sent to the material arranging position by the front clamping plate and the rear clamping plate 21, the front clamping plate and the rear clamping plate 21 can be lowered to return to the starting point, waiting for the next cycle. After entering the material arranging area, the threaded rod 24 drives the T-shaped slide plate 25 to drive the mounting block 26, so that the mounting block 26 drives the alignment movable plate 27 to move forward, and pushes the material to the alignment fixed plate 20. The material is aligned at both ends. Then, the receiving fixed plate 37 is lifted by the alignment cylinder 19, and the alignment movable plate 27 continues to push the arranged material into the packing machine. According to the designed program, the number of packing rings is different for materials of different lengths. After packing, the material is sent to the specified position by the conveying machine. The above-mentioned process is repeated to complete the whole process, which is uninterrupted, efficient, fast and safe.

[0033] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any skilled person in the art can make equivalent replacement or change within the technical range disclosed by the present application according to the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
