[0032] The detection line 4 is arranged higher than the feeding line 3 and the sorting line 7, and the top of the rack 2 is arranged below the bottom of the detection line 4, so that the distance between the detection line 4 and the feeding line 3 is shortened, and the racks 2 on the transfer platform 82 will not touch the detection line 4.

[0033] The lower feeding gantry mechanism 6 is arranged above the outfeed end of the detection line 4 and the infeed end of the sorting line 7, and comprises an X-axis servo module B61 arranged transversely, the X-axis servo module B61 is arranged in the same direction as the transverse servo track 81, a Y-axis servo module B62 is arranged to move left and right on the X-axis servo module B61, the Y-axis servo module B62 is arranged at 90 degrees with the X-axis servo module B61, a Z-axis servo module B63 arranged vertically is arranged to move forward and backward on the Y-axis servo module B62, one end of the Y-axis servo module B62 away from the X-axis servo module B61 is provided with an X-axis track B65 parallel to the X-axis servo module B61, so as to improve the lifting stability and bearing effect, and a suction cup module B64 is arranged to rise and fall on the Z-axis servo module B63, the suction cup module B64 is moved on the X, Y and Z axes through the above servo modules, the suction cup module B64 transfers the racks 2 on the line A 71, the line B 72 and the line C 73 from the detection line 4, and at the same time, the lifting device 9 lifts the lifting plate 21 to facilitate the loading of the racks 2, and sensors are arranged above the infeed ends of the line A 71, the line B 72 and the line C 73 to detect whether the racks 2 are full, and when the racks 2 are full, the terminal will remind the staff to take the racks 2.

[0034] The specific working principle of the application will be described in detail below: when the equipment is started, two full racks 2 need to be transferred to the infeed section 31 and the middle section 32 of the feeding line, and one empty rack 2 is arranged at the infeed end of each of the line A 71, the line B 72 and the line C 73.

[0035] Terminal setting: the number of trays greater than N and less than M is responsible for carrying by empty racks 2 of the assembly line B72, the number of trays less than N and greater than L is responsible for carrying by empty racks 2 of the assembly line C73, and the number of trays less than L or greater than M is unqualified, which is responsible for carrying by empty racks 2 of the assembly line A71.

[0036] The staff transports two groups of full racks 2 from the feeding section 31 of the feeding line in turn through the feeding cart 1, and there is one group of full racks 2 on the feeding section 31 of the feeding line and the middle section 32 of the feeding line in the initial state. When there is no rack 2 on the feeding section 31 of the feeding line, feeding is performed again through the feeding cart 1.

[0037] The racks 2 on the middle section 32 of the feeding line are fed, the servo motor drives the Y-axis servo module A52 on the X-axis servo module A51 to move laterally, the Z-axis servo module A54 on the Y-axis servo module A52 moves forward and backward, and the suction cup module A53 on the Z-axis servo module A54 moves up and down. The tray on the middle section 32 of the feeding line is transferred and adsorbed to the feeding end of the detection assembly line 4. When the height of the stacked trays on the rack 2 decreases, the lifting device 9 lifts the lifting plate 21 through the servo motor to drive the lifting rod, compensates the height of the stacked trays, saves the travel distance of the suction cup module A53, and improves the feeding speed.

[0038] The tray entering the feeding end of the detection assembly line 4 is photographed into the warehouse by the code scanning camera, and then counted by the X-ray detection camera below. After completion, it is blocked by the baffle at the discharge end of the detection assembly line 4 and waits for transfer.

[0039] According to the number of points, the X-axis servo module B61 drives the Y-axis servo module B62 to move laterally, the Y-axis servo module B62 drives the Z-axis servo module B63 to move forward and backward, and the Z-axis servo module B63 drives the suction cup module B64 to lift. The suction cup module B64 adsorbs and transfers the tray at the discharge end of the detection assembly line 4 to the designated assembly line of the sorting assembly line 7 for sorting and classification. When placing the rack 2, the lifting device 9 will lower the lifting plate 21 to make the top of the stacked trays at the same height, which is convenient for feeding. When the lifting plate 21 is at the bottom of the rack 2, the sensor will sense fullness, and the staff will take away the full rack 2 through the cart. The empty rack 2 at the feeding line discharge section 33 is moved to the empty rack of each assembly line of the sorting assembly line 7 for compensation, without the need for manual placement of the empty rack 2.
