[0110] Optionally, the mechanism in the material taking member 43 for taking the material 10 may also be an adsorption member for adsorbing the surface of the material 10 .

[0111] Please also read Figure 1 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the storage device 100 further includes a second scanning component 60, which is connected to one side of the rotating portion 423 and is used to scan the information of the material 10 clamped by the clamping portion 433. The second scanning component 60 is arranged near the clamping portion 433 to scan and record the information of the taken material 10, so as to prompt that the material 10 stored in the storage rack 21 has been taken. Optionally, the second scanning component 60 is a barcode scanner.

[0112] Please also read Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The present application also provides a storage method, including the above storage device 100, and the storage method includes the following steps:

[0113] S1. Place the material 10 to be stored in the loading member 33. The first transfer member 32 drives the loading member 33 to move to the feed port 211 of the storage rack 21 and extends into the feed end 221 of the supporting member 22 to transfer the material 10 to the supporting member 22.

[0114] S2, the supporting member 22 transfers the material 10 to the discharge end 222 in sequence, and the second transfer member 42 drives the material taking member 43 to move to the discharge port 212 of the material storage rack 21 and extends into the discharge end 222 of the supporting member 22 to take the material 10 on the supporting member 22.

[0115] In some embodiments, the storage device 100 also includes a control system (not shown in the figure). During the loading and unloading process, the control system controls the opening and closing of the first protective door 23 and the second protective door 24, and receives the information scanned by the first scanned film 50 and the second scanned film 60, and promptly feedbacks warning information to report errors when the scanning information is erroneous.

[0116] The control system includes a loading control mechanism and a picking control mechanism. The loading control mechanism is used to control the first transfer member 32 and the loading member 33 , and the picking control mechanism is used to control the second transfer member 42 and the picking member 43 .

[0117] Specifically, when it is necessary to load the supporting member 22 in the material storage rack 21, the following steps are included:

[0118] A plurality of materials 10 to be stored are placed on the loading chute 333. After the first scanning piece 50 scans the information of the materials 10 to be stored, the first protective door 23 is opened to expose the feed port 211. The loading control mechanism controls the first transfer piece 32 to drive the loading piece 33 to move to the position of the supporting piece 22 corresponding to the material 10 to be stored. The lifting drive part 332 lifts the loading chute 333 so that the loading chute 333 is tilted to dock with the feed end 221. The material 10 on the loading chute 333 slides into the inclined section 2231 to realize loading.

[0119] Accordingly, when it is necessary to take the material 10 on the pushing piece, the following steps are included:

[0120] The material picking control mechanism controls the second transfer member 42 to drive the material picking member 43 to move to the position corresponding to the material 10 to be picked up, the second protective door 24 opens to expose the discharge port 212, and the material picking member 43 extends into the discharge end 222. After the clamping drive part 432 drives the clamping part 433 to clamp the material 10, the second scanning part 60 scans the information of the grabbed material 10, and the rotating part 423 drives the clamping part 433 to rotate 180° and then places the material 10 at the position of the material 10 to be picked up, thereby realizing material picking.

[0121] By arranging the supporting member 22 for storing materials on the material storage rack 21, when the material storage rack 21 needs to be loaded, the loading member 33 is driven by the first transfer member 32 to extend into the feed port 211, and docks with the feed end 221 to transfer the material 10 to be stored into the supporting member 22. When the material 10 needs to be taken from the material storage rack 21, the picking member 43 is driven by the second transfer member 42 to extend into the discharge port 212, and pick up the material 10 at the discharge end 222 of the supporting member 22, so that the loading and picking process is automated, thereby improving the efficiency of loading and picking.

[0122] It can be understood that the storage device 100 can replace the structures of the material supporting parts 22, the material loading parts 33 and the material picking parts 43 according to the shapes of other materials 10 to adapt to the materials 10, so that the storage device 100 can also be widely used for other materials 10, thereby improving the versatility of the storage device 100, and having high reproducibility and strong promotion.

[0123] Optionally, the storage device 100 is not limited to storing materials 10 at room temperature. A cooling mechanism may also be provided in the storage device 100 for storing materials 10 that require low-temperature storage, such as solder paste, glue, and other materials 10 that require low-temperature storage conditions, thereby improving the versatility of the storage device 100.

[0124] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present application, and are not used as limitations on the present application. As long as they are within the spirit of the present application, appropriate changes and modifications to the above embodiments are within the scope of the present application.
