[0026] In order to explain the technical content, purpose and effect of the present invention in detail, the following is a description of the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the words "upper" and "lower" used in the following description refer to the attached Figure 2 and 6 In the directions, the words "bottom" and "top" refer to the Figure 1 The direction towards the geometric center of a specific component.

[0027] The most critical concept of the present invention is that: the conveying device 1, the fixing seat 2 and the clamping assembly 3 play the role of fixing, clamping and conveying the chicken breast cap to be separated; the side pressure mechanism is used to side-press the unfolded chicken breast c to prevent the chicken breast c from being folded and affecting the subsequent tearing and separation effect, thereby limiting the chicken breast c; when the chicken breast cap to be separated is conveyed to the rear yielding channel 5, the clamping claws and the driving mechanism are used to clamp the top of the chicken breast c on both sides of the chicken breast cap, and tear off the two chicken breast c from top to bottom, thereby automatically tearing off and separating the chicken breast c from both sides of the chicken breast cap; the limiting rod 4 plays the role of limiting the middle two sides of the chicken breast cap; the material-digging mechanism is used to push the chicken breast c moved to the top of the collection box from the clamping claws into the collection box, thereby automatically collecting the separated chicken breast c;

[0028] The overall automation degree is high, and it has the advantages of high chicken breast meat separation efficiency, low labor intensity and good separation effect.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a chicken breast c separation device comprises a conveying device 1, which is connected to a plurality of fixing seats 2 for vertically placing chicken breast caps, and the fixing seats 2 are equipped with a clamping assembly 3 for fixing and clamping the middle of the chicken breast cap. A side pressing mechanism for side pressing and unfolding the chicken breast c is arranged along the conveying direction on one side of the conveying device 1, and a group of clamping claws for clamping the connection between the two sides of the chicken breast cap and the upper end of the chicken breast c and a driving mechanism for driving the clamping claws to tear off the chicken breast c from top to bottom are arranged on one side of the conveying device 1. A limiting rod 4 is connected to the driving end of the driving mechanism to prevent the two sides of the middle of the chicken breast cap from shaking. The clamping claws and the limiting rod 4 are both arranged in a V shape, and the closed ends of a group of clamping claws are respectively fixedly connected to the two open ends of the limiting rod 4, and the side pressing mechanism is provided with a rear giving way channel 5 for the clamping claws to pass through, and a collecting box for collecting chicken breast c and a material-pickup mechanism for picking up the chicken breast c from the clamping claws into the collecting box are arranged below the rear giving way channel 5.

[0030] From the above description, it can be known that when it is necessary to tear off the chicken breast c from the two sides of the chicken breast cap, first, the chicken breast cap material to be separated is placed vertically on the fixed seat 2 through the fixed seat 2 and the clamping assembly 3, so that the wide end a of the chicken breast cap material is located at the fixed upper end, and the narrow end b of the chicken breast cap material is located at the lower end of the fixed seat, and the clamping assembly 3 is used to clamp the middle of the chicken breast cap to be separated on the fixed seat 2, which plays a role in fixing and clamping the chicken breast cap; then, the chicken breast c on both sides of the chicken breast cap are unfolded, and the fixed seat 2 is driven to move in the direction of the clamping claw through the conveying device 1, which plays a role in automatically conveying the chicken breast cap to be separated; then, the side pressure mechanism is used to side-press the unfolded chicken breast c to prevent the chicken breast c from re-folding, which plays a role in limiting the chicken breast c; when the chicken breast cap to be separated is conveyed to the rear give way channel 5, the external controller controls the conveying device to pause, and starts the driving machine through the clamping claw and the driving mechanism. The driving mechanism drives a group of clamps to move to the top of the chicken breast c on both sides of the chicken breast cover to clamp and tear off the two chicken breast c from top to bottom, thereby automatically tearing off and separating the chicken breast c from both sides of the chicken breast cover; while the clamps tear off the chicken breast c, the limit rods 4 arranged in a V shape are limited along the middle two sides of the chicken breast c to avoid the middle two sides of the chicken breast c shaking and affecting the tearing speed and tearing quality of the chicken breast c, thereby further improving the separation efficiency and separation effect of the chicken breast c; when the driving mechanism drives the clamps to tear the chicken breast c from the chicken breast cover from top to bottom, the clamps and the chicken breast c will continue to be driven downward by the driving mechanism to the top of the collection box, and the chicken breast c moved to the top of the collection box will be pushed off the clamps into the collection box by the material-diverting mechanism, thereby automatically collecting the separated chicken breast c; after the chicken breast c is separated, the conveying device is restarted to continue conveying.

[0031] Furthermore, the clamping claw includes a front clamping rod 6 and a rear clamping rod 7. The top end of the front clamping rod 6 is provided with a front arc-shaped portion 8 convex toward the fixed seat 2, and the top end of the rear clamping rod 7 is provided with a rear arc-shaped portion 9 convex toward the fixed seat 2. The top end of the front arc-shaped portion 8 is connected to one side of the top end of the rear arc-shaped portion 9. A clamping channel 10 for clamping the connection between the two sides of the chicken breast cover and the upper end of the chicken breast c is formed between the front arc-shaped portion 8 and the rear arc-shaped portion 9. The clamping channel 10 is gradually narrowed from top to bottom.

[0032] From the above description, it can be known that the front arc-shaped portion 8 and the rear arc-shaped portion 9 protruding toward the fixed seat 2 are used to simulate artificial fingers, and the top of the connection between the chicken breast c and the chicken breast cover is clamped in the clamping channel 10. Then, under the blocking effect of the connection between the top end of the front arc-shaped portion 8 and the top end of the rear arc-shaped portion 9, it is convenient for the front clamping rod 6 and the rear clamping rod 7 to tear the chicken breast c from both sides of the chicken breast cover from top to bottom, thereby further ensuring the separation efficiency and separation effect of the chicken breast c.

[0033] Furthermore, a number of anti-slip teeth 40 are provided on the inner sides of the upper segments of the front arc portion 8 and the rear arc portion 9 adjacent to each other. A blade 11 is connected to the side of the front arc portion 8 close to the rear arc portion 9, and the blade 11 is located on the two side surfaces adjacent to the two front arc portions 8.

[0034] As can be seen from the above description, during the process of tearing the large chicken breast c from both sides of the chicken breast cover from top to bottom, through the anti-slip teeth 40, the friction between the front arc portion 8, the rear arc portion 9 and the chicken breast meat is increased, and the clamping force of the upper segments of the front arc portion 8 and the rear arc portion 9 on the large chicken breast c is improved, so as to further improve the clamping effect of the clamping jaw on the large chicken breast c; through the blade 11, while accelerating the separation efficiency of the large chicken breast c, the tear opening of the separated large chicken breast c is relatively flat, ensuring the quality of the separated large chicken breast c, and playing a role in further ensuring the separation efficiency and separation effect of the large chicken breast c.

[0035] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a box body 12, a long connecting rod 13, an upper short connecting rod 14 and a lower short connecting rod 15 arranged in a U shape. The two ends of the upper short connecting rod 14 are respectively rotatably connected to the top end inside the box body 12 and the middle of the long connecting rod 13. The closed end of the lower short connecting rod 15 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the long connecting rod 13. The two vertical ends of the lower short connecting rod 15 are respectively rotatably connected to both sides of the upper end inside the box body 12. A side opening 16 for the long connecting rod 13 to move is provided on one side of the box body 12 close to the fixed seat 2; the front section of the long connecting rod 13 is located outside the side opening 16 and is an inclined rod portion 17 inclined upward in the direction close to the fixed seat 2. The inclined rod portion 17 is fixedly connected to the closed end of the limiting rod 4. A first motor 18 for driving one open end of the lower short connecting rod 15 to rotate is installed on one side of the box body 12, and a first photoelectric switch 19 for detecting whether there is a chicken breast cover raw material is installed on one side of the box body 12. The first photoelectric switch 19 is electrically connected to an external controller.

[0036] As can be seen from the above description, when the raw material of the chicken breast cover to be separated is conveyed to the rear让位通道5 (it should be noted that "让位通道" may need to be accurately translated according to the specific context, here it is tentatively translated as "让位通道"), the first photoelectric switch 19 sends a signal detecting the chicken breast cover raw material to the external controller. The external controller controls the first motor 18 to start. The driving end of the first motor 18 rotates, driving the lower short connecting rod 15 to rotate, driving the long connecting rod 13 and the upper short connecting rod 14 to rotate, thereby driving the limiting rod 4 and the clamping jaw connected to the inclined rod portion 17 to move downward in a curved line in the direction close to the rear让位通道5, and further realizing the function of driving the clamping jaw to move towards the chicken breast cover to be separated and separating the large chicken breast c from top to bottom; the side opening 16 is provided to facilitate the reciprocating curved driving of the long connecting rod 13.

[0037] Furthermore, the side pressure mechanism includes a bracket 20, a limit plate 21, an upper pressure rod 22 and a lower pressure rod 23 all installed on the bracket 20, an upper limit passage 24 for the upper end of the chicken breast c to pass through is formed between the limit plate 21 and the upper pressure rod 22, a lower limit passage 25 for the lower end of the chicken breast c to pass through is formed between the lower pressure rod 23 and the limit plate 21, the limit plate 21, the upper pressure rod 22 and the lower pressure rod 23 are all provided with a break 26, and a rear yielding channel 5 for the clamping claws to pass through is formed between the break 26.

[0038] From the above description, it can be known that when the chicken breast c is unfolded, the upper and lower ends of the chicken breast c respectively enter the upper limit channel 24, and the upper pressure rod 22 and the limiting plate 21 are used to limit the upper and lower ends of the chicken breast c, and the lower pressure rod 23 and the limiting plate 21 are used to limit the lower ends of the chicken breast c to avoid shaking of the upper and lower ends of the chicken breast c, thereby playing the role of limiting the chicken breast c.

[0039] Furthermore, a group of spreading rods 31 for spreading the breast of the chicken, a third photoelectric switch 43 for detecting the existence of the breast of the chicken, and an electric push rod 32 for driving the spreading rod 31 to rise and fall are also arranged between the input end of the conveying device 1 and the side pressure mechanism. The group of spreading rods 31 are arranged in an inverted eight-shaped arrangement, and the electric push rod 32 is connected to a linear guide rail 33 for driving it to translate along the conveying direction. The front ends of the upper pressure rod 22 and the lower pressure rod 23 are provided with an arc-shaped guide portion 41, and a front make way channel 42 is formed between the arc-shaped guide portion 41 and the front end of the limit plate 21, which gradually expands toward the direction of the linear guide rail 33 and is for the spreading rod 31 to pass through.

[0040] From the above description, it can be seen that after the chicken breast caps to be separated are fixed on the fixed seat 2, the conveying device 1 first conveys the chicken breast caps to be separated to the bottom near the stretching rod 31, and the third photoelectric switch 43 detects the presence of a chicken breast cap signal to the external controller, and the external controller controls the conveying device 1 to pause, and then starts the electric push rod 32, driving a group of stretching rods 31 to descend toward the middle of the chicken breast cap raw material. Since the stretching rods 31 are arranged in an inverted eight-shaped arrangement, the stretching rods 31 gradually unfold the gathered chicken breast c to both sides while descending. When the stretching rods 31 descend to a preset height, the external controller controls the conveying device 1 and the linear guide 33 to move synchronously, and the linear guide 33 drives the stretching rod 31 to move together with the chicken breast c to the narrow end of the front make way channel 42, and the external controller then controls the linear guide 33 and the electric push rod 32 to reset, thereby driving the stretching rod 31 to reset, and at the same time, the chicken breast c continues to be conveyed into the upper limit channel 24 and the lower limit channel 25 along with the conveying device 1, to ensure that the chicken breast c on both sides are in an expanded state.

[0041] Furthermore, the material shifting mechanism includes a set of material shifting baffle rods 28 and a second motor 29 for driving the material shifting baffle rods 28 to rotate. The second motor 29 is installed on one side of the top of the collection box. The driving end of the second motor 29 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the material shifting baffle rod 28. The material shifting baffle rod is located below the middle of the open end of the clamp. A second photoelectric switch for detecting whether there is a clamp is also set on one side of the top of the collection box.

[0042] From the above description, it can be seen that when the clamping claws and the separated chicken breast c will be driven by the driving mechanism to move down to the top of the collection box, the second photoelectric switch detects the clamping claw signal to the external controller, and the external controller controls the driving end of the second motor 29 to rotate, driving the material blocking rod 28 to rotate, and the chicken breast c on the clamping claw is blocked and pushed into the collection box, thereby automatically collecting the separated chicken breast c.

[0043] Furthermore, a group of spreading rods 31 for spreading the breast of the chicken, a third photoelectric switch 43 for detecting the existence of the breast of the chicken, and an electric push rod 32 for driving the spreading rod 31 to rise and fall are also arranged between the input end of the conveying device 1 and the side pressure mechanism. The group of spreading rods 31 are arranged in an inverted eight-shaped arrangement, and the electric push rod 32 is connected to a linear guide rail 33 for driving it to translate along the conveying direction. The front ends of the upper pressure rod 22 and the lower pressure rod 23 are provided with an arc-shaped guide portion 41, and a front make way channel 42 is formed between the arc-shaped guide portion 41 and the front end of the limit plate 21, which gradually expands toward the direction of the linear guide rail 33 and is for the spreading rod 31 to pass through.

[0044] From the above description, it can be seen that after the chicken breast caps to be separated are fixed on the fixed seat 2, the conveying device 1 first conveys the chicken breast caps to be separated to the bottom near the stretching rod 31, and the third photoelectric switch 43 detects the presence of a chicken breast cap signal to the external controller, and the external controller controls the conveying device 1 to pause, and then starts the electric push rod 32, driving a group of stretching rods 31 to descend toward the middle of the chicken breast cap raw material. Since the stretching rods 31 are arranged in an inverted eight-shaped arrangement, the stretching rods 31 gradually unfold the gathered chicken breast c to both sides while descending. When the stretching rods 31 descend to a preset height, the external controller controls the conveying device 1 and the linear guide 33 to move synchronously, and the linear guide 33 drives the stretching rod 31 to move together with the chicken breast c to the narrow end of the front make way channel 42, and the external controller then controls the linear guide 33 and the electric push rod 32 to reset, thereby driving the stretching rod 31 to reset, and at the same time, the chicken breast c continues to be conveyed into the upper limit channel 24 and the lower limit channel 25 along with the conveying device 1, to ensure that the chicken breast c on both sides are in an expanded state.

[0045] Furthermore, the clamping assembly 3 includes a support 34, a tension spring 36, a guide rod 37, a hook 35 inserted into the middle meat of the wide end of the chicken breast cap raw material, and a splint 38 for pressing the middle of the wide end of the chicken breast cap raw material onto the fixed seat 2. The conveying end face of the conveying device 1 and one end of the fixed seat 2 are detachably connected through the support 34, and the other end of the fixed seat 2 is provided with a limiting groove 39 for the guide rod 37 to slide away from the support 34. One end of the guide rod 37 is connected to the groove wall of the limiting groove 39 through the tension spring 36. The groove wall of the limiting groove 39 is installed with an electromagnet 43 sleeved in the tension spring 36, and one end of the guide rod is installed with an iron block 44 magnetically connected to the electromagnet 43. The other end of the guide rod 37 is connected to the closed end of the splint 38; the hook 35 is fixedly connected to the other end of the fixed seat 2 and is located between the splint 38 and the fixed seat 2.

[0046] From the above description, it can be known that when it is necessary to fix the chicken breast cover on the fixing seat 2, first, the meat in the middle of the wide end a of the chicken breast cover material is inserted into the hook 35, and then, the electromagnet 43 is energized by the external controller, and the electromagnet 43 and the iron block 44 are magnetically attracted to each other, thereby driving the guide rod 37 to move in the direction close to the support 34, and then driving the clamping plate 38 to fit tightly to the outer surface in the middle of the wide end a of the chicken breast cover material, and pressing the chicken breast fixing material to the other end face of the fixing seat 2, so as to achieve the effect of the clamping assembly clamping and fixing the chicken breast cover on the fixing seat 2; when it is necessary to remove the remaining chicken breast cover after the chicken breast c meat has been torn off, it is only necessary to control the electromagnet 43 to be powered off by the external controller, and the electromagnet 43 is separated from the iron block 44, and under the elastic force of the tension spring 36, the guide rod 37 is driven to move in the direction away from the support 34, thereby driving the clamping plate 38 to move in the direction away from the other end face of the fixing seat, and the clamping effect of the clamping plate 38 on the remaining chicken breast cover can be released.

[0047] Furthermore, a platform 44 and a feeding conveyor 45 located between the platform 44 and the feeding conveyor 1 are provided on one side of the input end of the conveying device 1, a rotating assembly for rotating the fixed seat 2 180° is provided between one end of the fixed seat 2 and the support 34, and a plurality of bases 47 that move synchronously with the fixed seat 2 are evenly and fixedly connected to the conveying end surface of the feeding conveyor 45; a feeding plate 48 is provided on one side of the base 47, and one end of the base 47 is rotatably connected to the feeding plate 48, and a groove is provided on the feeding plate 48 for laying the chicken breast cover raw material, and an arc-shaped plate is provided on the base 47 for placing the middle of the wide end of the chicken breast cover raw material, and one end of the feeding plate 48 is opened. A clearance groove is provided for the arc plate and the clamping plate 38 to pass through, and a front limit column 49 and a rear limit column 50 are mounted on the platform 44, both of which are used to press the other end of the loading plate 48 down on the platform 44. A torsion spring is connected between one end of the loading plate 48 and the base 47 for driving the loading plate 48 to flip upward 90° toward the other end face close to the fixed seat 2. A vertical baffle 51 is connected to the other side of the base 47 close to the fixed seat 2. A pressing mechanism is provided between the front limit column 49 and the rear limit column 50, which first presses the wide end of the chicken breast cover down to the hook 52 and then presses the loading plate 48 down again and flips it onto the platform 44.

[0048] From the above description, it can be known that when loading is required, the fixed seat 2 is first rotated 180° using the rotating assembly, so that the end of the fixed seat 2 with the hook 52 is rotated from the upper end of the support 34 to the lower end of the support 34. At this time, the tip of the hook 52 is facing upward, and then the chicken breast cap raw material is placed horizontally in the groove on the loading plate 48, with the wide end a of the chicken breast cap raw material in the groove facing the conveying device 1, the narrow end b of the chicken breast cap raw material facing the platform 44, and the inner surface of the chicken breast cap raw material facing upward, and then through the loading conveyor 45, the base 47 and the corresponding fixed seat 2 are driven to be transported synchronously in the direction of the downward pressing mechanism, and then the loading plate 48 containing the chicken breast cap raw material and the corresponding fixed seat 2 are driven to be transported synchronously in the direction of the downward pressing mechanism. In this process, the other end of the loading plate 48 is first limited to the position between the front limit column 49 and the upper end surface of the platform 44 through the front limit column 49. The feeding plate 48 is ensured to be in a horizontal position parallel to the upper conveying end surface of the feeding conveyor 45, which plays a role in preliminary limiting the feeding plate 48; at the same time, it is convenient to place the chicken breast cap raw material horizontally in the groove, thereby improving the feeding efficiency; when the feeding plate 48 loaded with the chicken breast cap raw material is conveyed between the front limit column 49 and the downward pressure mechanism together with the base 47, the other end of the feeding plate 48 loses the downward pressure resistance of the front limit column 49, and under the elastic force of the torsion spring, the feeding plate 48 and the chicken breast cap raw material are quickly turned upward around one side of the base 47 toward the corresponding fixed seat 2, until the feeding plate 48 is turned 90° and is in a vertical state, the chicken breast cap raw material is clamped between the feeding plate 48 and the fixed seat 2, and the inner surface of the chicken breast cap raw material is attached to the other end surface of the fixed seat 2, thereby achieving the effect of preliminary feeding of the chicken breast cap raw material;

[0049] Afterwards, the chicken breast cap raw material clamped between the loading plate 48 and the fixed seat 2 is first pressed down by the pressing mechanism until the hook 52 is inserted into the meat in the middle of the wide end a of the chicken breast cap raw material, and the electromagnet is energized by the external controller. The electromagnet and the iron block are magnetically attracted to each other, driving the clamping plate 38 to clamp the middle of the wide end a of the chicken breast cap raw material. Afterwards, the pressing mechanism flips the empty loading plate 48 downward in the direction away from the fixed seat 2 until it is flipped and reset to be horizontally placed, thereby performing secondary loading and fixing of the chicken breast cap raw material and automatically flipping and resetting the empty loading plate 48 from a vertical state to a horizontal state; finally, through the rear limiting column 50, the loading plate 48 that has been restored to a horizontal state is limited between the rear limiting column 50 and the platform 44, thereby limiting the horizontally placed loading plate 48 after the loading is completed.

[0050] Furthermore, a limiting pressure cover 53 is slidably connected at the bottom of the groove along the direction of the line connecting the two ends of the feeding plate 48 for placing the narrow end of the chicken breast cap raw material, a push rod 54 is vertically connected to the bottom of the limiting pressure cover 53, a rotating rod 55 is vertically fixedly connected to the bottom of one end of the feeding plate 48, and a vertical through groove 56 is provided in the middle of the bottom of the groove for the push rod 54 to slide through along the direction of the line connecting the two ends of the feeding plate 48. The pressing mechanism includes a machine table 57, a fourth photoelectric switch 65, a lifting cylinder 58 installed on the machine table 57, a pressing plate 59 for pressing down and flipping the rotating rod 55 90°, and a third motor 61 for driving the pressing plate 59 to rotate, and the top rod of the lifting cylinder 58 is connected to two motors for pushing the push rod 55, respectively. 54, an upper push plate 62 and a lower push plate 63 that move downward and upward, and the upper push plate 62 and the lower push plate 63 are arranged alternately front and rear along the conveying direction of the loading plate 48; the fourth photoelectric switch 65 and the third motor 61 are located between the rear limit column 50 and the machine table 57, which are located below the rear end of the lower push plate 63, and the platform 44 is provided with a makeshift groove 64 for placing the third motor 61 and the pressure plate 59, and the shortest lateral distance between the pressure plate 59 and the rear limit column 50 is smaller than the lateral distance between the side of the rotating rod 55 close to the front limit column 49 and the side of the loading plate 48 close to the rear limit column 50, and a support portion for supporting the rotating rod 55 is provided on the side of the machine table 57 close to the loading plate 48.

[0051] From the above description, it can be known that in the process of the feeding plate 48 being turned upward, the narrow end b of the chicken breast cap raw material is limited by the limiting pressure cover 53 to prevent the chicken breast cap raw material from falling out of the groove, thereby playing a role in preliminarily limiting and fixing the chicken breast cap raw material in the groove; at the same time, when the chicken breast cap raw material needs to be pressed down to the meat in the middle of the wide end a of the chicken breast cap raw material when the hook 52 is inserted into the wide end a of the chicken breast cap raw material, through the lifting cylinder 58, the push rod 54, the upper push plate 62, the lower push plate 63 and the limiting pressure cover 53, the external controller first controls the lifting cylinder 58 to start, and the top rod of the lifting cylinder 58 extends downward, driving the upper push plate 62 to move the push rod 54 downward in the vertical through groove 56, thereby driving the limiting pressure cover 53 to push The narrow end b of the moving chicken breast cap raw material is pressed downward until the hook 52 is inserted into the meat in the middle of the wide end a of the chicken breast cap raw material, simulating manual grasping of the narrow end b of the chicken breast cap raw material to press the chicken breast cap raw material downward until the hook 52 is inserted into the meat in the middle of the wide end a of the chicken breast cap raw material, thereby realizing the function of automatically pressing the chicken breast cap raw material downward to be inserted and fixed on the hook 52 of the fixing seat 2, and then, the external controller controls the top rod of the lifting cylinder 58 to retract and reset upward, driving the push plate 63 to move the push rod 54 upward in the vertical through groove 56, thereby driving the limit pressing cover 53 to move upward, until the limit pressing cover 53 rises to leave the narrow end b of the chicken breast cap raw material, playing the role of automatically pushing the limit pressing cover 53 to rise and fall;

[0052] Afterwards, when the push rod 54 is about to leave the lower push plate 63, the fourth photoelectric switch 65 detects the signal of the loading plate 48 through the fourth photoelectric switch 65, the third motor 61 and the pressure plate 59. The fourth photoelectric switch 65 detects the signal of the loading plate 48 and transmits it to the external controller. The external controller controls the third motor 61 to start, and the driving end of the third motor 61 rotates, driving the pressure plate 59 to rotate downward in the direction close to the rotating rod 55. After the lower end of the pressure plate 59 contacts the upper end surface of the rotating rod 55, the pressure plate 59 rotates and presses the rotating rod 55, thereby driving the loading plate 48 to flip downward in the direction away from the fixing seat 2 until the other side of the loading plate 48 The end is flipped and reset to be placed horizontally again. Finally, since the shortest lateral distance between the pressure plate 59 and the rear limit column 50 is smaller than the lateral distance between the side of the rotating rod 55 close to the front limit column 49 and the side of the loading plate 48 close to the rear limit column 50, when the rotating rod 55 leaves the pressure plate 59, the other end of the loading plate 48 will enter between the rear limit column 50 and the platform 44; in addition, the support part is used to support and limit the rotating rod 55 in the vertical state, so as to prevent the loading plate 48 from flipping downward when the lifting cylinder 58 drives the upper and lower push plates 63 to lift the push rod 54, thereby limiting the loading plate 48 that has not been transported to the pressure plate 59.
