[0078] The products to be loaded are stored in the cache component; in the present embodiment, the products to be loaded are the partitions 16 placed on both sides of the milk 614; partitions need to be placed on both sides of the milk 614 during packaging, so in the present invention, each component has two sets, which are used to place the left partition and the right partition respectively; considering the conveying direction of the milk 614, some components need to avoid interference or damage with the milk 614, while some components do not need to consider this issue, so in the present invention, the left and right sets of some components are exactly the same, while the left and right sets of some components have different structures.

[0079] The material taking component 2 is arranged beside the buffer component, and can take out and shape the products stored in the buffer component and then put them into the flow channel structure;

[0080] The flow channel structure is arranged beside the material taking component 2 to allow the product to move along the flow channel;

[0081] The pushing component 3 is arranged at one end of the flow channel structure, and can push the taken product from one end of the flow channel structure to the other end;

[0082] The feeding assembly is arranged at the other end of the flow channel structure, and can deliver the pushed product to the next station. The next station here refers to the conveying line 6 for conveying milk 614.

[0083] The feeding mechanism provided by the present invention combines the partition installation station and the milk installation station. The specially designed feeding mechanism for the milk partition can place the two products, milk and the partition, together and wait to be loaded into the milk box. By adopting the feeding mechanism for the milk partition, the upper line of the partition is combined with the milk packing station and packed together with the milk, which can effectively solve the problem of the partition tipping over and rebounding in the milk box, thereby affecting the milk packing.

[0084] like Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the buffer assembly includes a left buffer assembly 1 and a right buffer assembly 9 with completely identical structures; the material taking assembly 2 includes a left material taking assembly and a right material taking assembly with completely identical structures, and the left material taking assembly is correspondingly arranged with the left buffer assembly 1 to take materials for the left product; the right material taking assembly is correspondingly arranged with the right buffer assembly 9 to take materials for the right product; the pushing assembly 3 includes a left pushing assembly and a right pushing assembly with completely identical structures, and the left pushing assembly is correspondingly arranged with the left material taking assembly, and the right pushing assembly is correspondingly arranged with the right material taking assembly; the flow channel structure includes a left flow channel structure 4 and a right flow channel structure 8; the left flow channel structure 4 is correspondingly arranged with the left pushing assembly, and the right flow channel structure 8 is correspondingly arranged with the right pushing assembly; the feeding assembly includes a left feeding assembly 5 and a right feeding assembly 7; the left feeding assembly 5 is correspondingly arranged with the left flow channel structure 4, and the right feeding assembly 7 is correspondingly arranged with the right flow channel structure 8.

[0130] Working principle: first, manually fill the right buffer component 9 with the partition 16, and fix it on the vertical mounting plate 21 through the main rotating shaft 24 in the material taking component 2 and make it rotatable, the swing arm 25 is locked with the main rotating shaft 24, and the connecting shaft 27 passes through the swing arm 25 to connect the guide shaft 22 and the suction cup mounting plate 26, and the suction cup mounting plate 26 is equipped with a suction cup 28. Further, the guide shaft 22 rotates through the rotating shaft seat 23, and the rotating shaft seat 23 is assembled on the vertical mounting plate 21 and can rotate, and further, the driving motor 210 is driven to rotate forward and reverse to drive the main rotating shaft 24 and the suction cup 28 to reach the position where the partition 16 needs to be taken and placed (as shown in Figure 17); that is, the right buffer is filled with the material taking component 2 The partition 16 in the component 9 is removed from the bottom and placed at the feed port of the right flow channel structure 8. The partition 16 is then pushed into the right flow channel structure by the push component 3, and the partition 16 is continuously pushed in. The previous partition 16 is pushed forward by the next partition 16, so that the partition 16 is pushed into the right cavity 711 in the right feeding component 7. Then the right cavity 711 moves downward, and the milk on the further conveyor line 6 is conveyed over, and the milk 614 is blocked by the right cavity 711. When all the milk is in place, the conveyor line 6 stops conveying. Similarly, the left side adopts the same method. Finally, the left cavity 59 moves to the other side of the milk 614 at an angle of 45 degrees, and close to the milk to position the milk. In this way, the milk 614 and the partition 16 are arranged at the same time, which is convenient for the next step of packing.

[0131] Because the left loading rack 51 is inclined at 45 degrees, the cylinder A53 can achieve a side-pushing effect on the milk when it is extended, so that the milk can be positioned and clamped. At the same time, the partition remains in the molded state in the left cavity 59 and the right cavity 711, waiting to be pushed into the milk box together with the milk.

[0132] The production line of the present invention adopts a feeding mechanism of the milk separator to place two separators on both sides of the milk at the same time, so that the two separators can be loaded into the milk box together with the milk.
