[0002] In the field of sheet metal processing, when loading materials onto a processing platform, AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) are typically used to transport the material bins to the processing platform. The drive components on the AGV then work in conjunction with the transmission mechanism inside the material bins to transport the sheet metal stored in the bins to the processing platform, or to transport the processed sheet metal from the processing platform to the material bins.

[0062] To make the technical problems solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0063] like Figures 1 to 11As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a delivery device, including a conveying mechanism 1, a material box 2, a receiving mechanism 3, and a pushing mechanism 4. The conveying mechanism 1 includes a movable base 11 and a main body 12. The main body 12 is mounted on the movable base 11. The material box 2 is detachably mounted on the movable base 11. The material box 2 is used to hold material plates. The movable base 11 moves, which can drive the material box 2 to move, so that the material box 2 can be moved to different processing stations, warehouses, or storage areas to realize flexible delivery of material plates.

[0064] One end of the receiving mechanism 3 is mounted on the main body 12, and one end of the pushing mechanism 4 is mounted on the main body 12. The other ends of the receiving mechanism 3 and the pushing mechanism 4 are arranged on opposite sides of the material box 2 along the first direction a. The side of the material box 2 closest to the receiving mechanism 3 has an opening. The pushing mechanism 4 is used to drive the material plate to move along the first direction a toward the opening to send the material plate out of the material box 2. The receiving mechanism 3 is used to drive the material plate through the opening into the material box 2 or to cooperate with the pushing mechanism 4 to push the material plate away from the opening.

[0065] When it is necessary to store the material plate in the material box 2, the material plate is sent from the previous process to the opening of the material box 2. The receiving mechanism 3 drives the material plate to move along the first direction a towards the pushing mechanism 4, so that the material plate gradually enters the material box 2. The pushing mechanism 4 is located on the side of the material box 2 away from the opening. When discharging, the pushing mechanism 4 pushes the material plate along the first direction a towards the opening, pushing the material plate out of the material box 2.

[0066] In this embodiment, the receiving mechanism 3 and the pushing mechanism 4 are located on opposite sides of the material box 2 and cooperate with the opening. The receiving mechanism 3 can continuously transport the material plate from the outside into the material box 2 through the opening, and the pushing mechanism 4 can output the material plate in the material box 2 through the opening, realizing orderly receiving and feeding. The receiving mechanism 3 and the pushing mechanism 4 replace the synchronous belt or belt and other components in the existing material box 2, avoiding the problem of multiple synchronous belts being out of sync and affecting the material plate conveying, thereby improving the stability of the material plate delivery process.

[0067] Furthermore, the receiving mechanism 3 can drive the material plate to move back and forth in the first direction a. When storing material, the receiving mechanism 3 drives the material plate to move in the direction of the pushing mechanism 4 along the first direction a. When feeding material, the pushing mechanism 4 pushes the material plate to move in the direction of the opening along the first direction a. After the material plate reaches the receiving mechanism 3, the receiving mechanism 3 drives the material plate to move in the direction of the opening along the first direction a. The pushing mechanism 4 and the receiving mechanism 3 jointly push the material plate to send the material plate out of the material box 2.

[0068] In one embodiment, the transport mechanism 1 is an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle).

[0069] In one embodiment, the conveying mechanism 1 further includes a material box bracket 13 and a first lifting mechanism 14. The first lifting mechanism 14 is installed on the main body 12, the material box bracket 13 is disposed above the movable base 11 and connected to the output end of the first lifting mechanism 14, and the first lifting mechanism 14 can drive the material box bracket 13 to move up and down. The material box 2 is disposed on the material box bracket 13.

[0070] The material bin 2 has multiple storage layers along its height direction, and each storage layer has a material plate. The first lifting mechanism 14 can drive the material bin 2 to move up and down through the material bin bracket 13 so that the material plate in each storage layer can enter or leave the material bin 2.

[0071] The first lifting mechanism 14 can lift the material box 2 through the material box bracket 13, so that the material box 2 can move up and down, thereby accurately positioning each storage layer to the appropriate height, and docking with the pushing mechanism 4 and the receiving mechanism 3 to realize the entry and exit of the material board. It provides great flexibility in the delivery process. Whether receiving new material boards or conveying material boards to PCB processing equipment, it can operate on specific storage layers.

[0072] In one embodiment, the delivery device further includes a second lifting mechanism 5, which is installed on the main body 12. One end of the receiving mechanism 3 and one end of the pushing mechanism 4 are both connected to the second lifting mechanism 5. The second lifting mechanism 5 is used to drive the receiving mechanism 3 and the pushing mechanism 4 to move vertically to the docking height of the material box 2, thereby enhancing the adaptability of the delivery device to different material box 2 specifications.

[0073] Since different material bins 2 have different numbers of storage layers and different height dimensions in the vertical direction, the second lifting mechanism 5 can drive the receiving mechanism 3 and the pushing mechanism 4 to move vertically, allowing the receiving mechanism 3 and the pushing mechanism 4 to flexibly adapt to changes in the height of the material bins 2. After the second lifting mechanism 5 adjusts the receiving mechanism 3 and the pushing mechanism 4 to the docking height of the material bins 2, the first lifting mechanism 14 drives the material bins 2 to move up and down, so that the docking height of each storage layer, the pushing mechanism 4, and the receiving mechanism 3 is consistent, thereby realizing the entry or exit of the material plate in each storage layer.

[0074] It should be noted that the docking height of the material box 2 is located at the highest storage layer of the material box 2. After the material receiving mechanism 3 and the material pushing mechanism 4 are moved to the highest storage layer by the second lifting mechanism 5, the first lifting mechanism 14 drives the material box 2 to move upward layer by layer, so that the material plate is sent out or sent into the material box 2 layer by layer from high to low.

[0075] In one embodiment, the second lifting mechanism 5 includes a lifting motor 51, a first lead screw 52, ​​a second lead screw 53, and a synchronous belt assembly 54. The lifting motor 51 is mounted on the main body 12. The first lead screw 52 is connected to the receiving mechanism 3, and the second lead screw 53 is connected to the pushing mechanism 4. The synchronous belt assembly 54 connects the first lead screw 52 and the second lead screw 53. The output end of the lifting motor 51 is connected to the first lead screw 52. The lifting motor 51 can drive the first lead screw 52 to rotate and drive the second lead screw 53 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt assembly 54, thereby realizing the synchronous up and down movement of the pushing mechanism 4 and the receiving mechanism 3.

[0076] In one embodiment, the second lifting mechanism 5 includes a first lifting component and a second lifting component. The output end of the first lifting component is connected to one end of the pushing mechanism 4, enabling the pushing mechanism 4 to move up and down. The output end of the second lifting component is connected to one end of the receiving mechanism 3, enabling the receiving mechanism 3 to move up and down. The first lifting component and the second lifting component are synchronously linked, so that the pushing mechanism 4 and the receiving mechanism 3 move up and down synchronously.

[0077] Both the first and second lifting components are common lifting structures consisting of a motor and a lead screw, which will not be described in detail here.

[0078] The first lifting assembly and the second lifting group are kept synchronized by the synchronous belt assembly 54.

[0079] In one embodiment, the receiving mechanism 3 includes a first support base 31, a conveying component 32, and a feeding component 33. The first support base 31 is connected to the main body 12, and the conveying component 32 and the feeding component 33 are mounted on the first support base 31. One end of the first support base 31 is connected to the output end of the second lifting mechanism 5, and the other end of the first support base 31 is equipped with the conveying component 32 and the feeding component 33. The vertical movement of the receiving mechanism 3 is achieved through the connection between the second lifting mechanism 5 and the first support base 31.

[0080] After the material plate contacts the conveying assembly 32, the conveying assembly 32 is used to drive the material plate to move from the opening to the preset position along the first direction a. When the material plate moves to the preset position, the conveying assembly 32 stops rotating, and the material feeding assembly 33 is used to drive the material plate to continue moving from the preset position along the first direction a. The material feeding assembly 33 provides additional thrust to the material plate to store the material plate in the material box 2, so as to avoid the conveying assembly 32 having insufficient conveying force and affecting the storage of the material plate in the material box 2.

[0081] The preset position is the maximum distance that the conveying component 32 can move the material plate. For example, when storing the material plate in the material box 2, the material plate's movement is divided into a first segment and a second segment. After the conveying component 32 moves the material plate from the opening into the material box 2 and to the preset position, the material plate completes the first segment of the movement. At this point, most of the material plate has entered the material box 2, and a small portion remains outside the material box 2. The conveying component 32 then stops conveying. Next, the feeding component 33 applies a pushing force to the material plate, causing it to continue moving along the first direction a, completing the second segment of the movement, so that the material plate is completely inside the material box 2.

[0082] When the receiving mechanism 3 assists the pushing mechanism 4 in feeding materials, the movement of the material plate is divided into a first stroke and a second stroke. After the pushing mechanism 4 pushes the material plate to the conveying component 32, the conveying component 32 and the pushing mechanism 4 jointly push the material plate to move. When the material plate reaches the preset position, the material plate has completed the first stroke. At this time, most of the material plate has left the material box 2, and a small portion is still in the material box 2. The pushing mechanism 4 and the conveying component 32 stop moving. Then, the feeding component 33 applies a pushing force to the material plate, causing the material plate to continue moving along the first direction a, completing the second stroke and completely pushing the material plate out of the material box 2.

[0083] It should be noted that the preset position of the material plate during the receiving process is different from that during the feeding process.

[0084] In one embodiment, the feeding assembly 33 includes a mounting base 331, a first driving member 332, and a feeding member 333. The mounting base 331 is connected to a first support base 31, and the first driving member 332 is mounted on the mounting base 331. The output end of the first driving member 332 is connected to the feeding member 333. When the material plate reaches a preset position, the conveying assembly 32 stops, and the first driving member 332 drives the feeding member 333 to rotate, so that the feeding member 333 can push the material plate to continue moving along the first direction a. When the material plate reaches the preset position, the material plate disengages from the conveying assembly 32. If the conveying assembly 32 cannot continue to convey the material plate or the conveying force of the conveying assembly 32 is insufficient, the first driving member 332 drives the feeding member 333 to rotate. During the rotation, the feeding member 333 can abut against the material plate and apply a pushing force to the material plate, providing additional pushing force to the material plate, thereby enabling the material plate to continue moving along the first direction a, ensuring that the material plate is conveyed to the correct position, and avoiding the impact on the movement of the material plate when the conveying assembly 32 cannot convey or the conveying force is insufficient.

[0085] In one embodiment, the first driving element 332 is a motor.

[0086] In one embodiment, the feeding member 333 includes a connecting rod 3331 and a first feeding portion 3332. The first feeding portion 3332 extends along a second direction. One end of the connecting rod 3331 is connected to the output end of the first driving member 332, and the other end of the connecting rod 3331 is connected to one end of the first feeding portion 3332. The other end of the first feeding portion 3332 is connected to the second feeding portion 3333. The first direction a and the second direction b are not parallel and do not coincide.

[0087] When the first driving member 332 drives the connecting rod 3331 to rotate, the other end of the first feeding part 3332 can rotate around the central axis of the connecting rod 3331 to move the material plate. When the connecting rod 3331 rotates, the first feeding part 3332 oscillates within a range centered on the central axis of the connecting rod 3331. As the first feeding part 3332 oscillates, it can contact the material plate and apply a pushing force, thereby pushing the material plate to move along the first direction a. This provides additional pushing force to the material plate when the conveying assembly 32 cannot convey the material plate or the material plate is not running smoothly, ensuring the movement of the material plate.

[0088] In one embodiment, the feeding member 333 further includes a second feeding part 3333. The end of the first feeding part 3332 away from the connecting rod 3331 is connected to the second feeding part 3333. The second feeding part 3333 and the connecting rod 3331 are misaligned in the second direction b. When the first driving member 332 drives the connecting rod 3331 to rotate, it can drive the first feeding part 3332 and the second feeding part 3333 to rotate.

[0089] Since the first feeding part 3332 is connected between the second feeding part 3333 and the connecting rod 3331, and the second feeding part 3333 and the connecting rod 3331 are misaligned in the second direction b, when the connecting rod 3331 rotates, the first feeding part 3332 swings within a range centered on the central axis of the connecting rod 3331. The second feeding part 3333 swings with the first feeding part 3332, and can contact the material plate and apply a pushing force, thereby pushing the material plate to move along the first direction a.

[0090] Preferably, the first direction a and the second direction b are perpendicular, where the first direction a is the X direction and the second direction b is the Y direction. The first feeding part 3332 oscillates within the plane defined by the first direction a and the second direction b. The first feeding part 3332 extends along the second direction b, and the connecting rod 3331 is connected to one end of the first feeding part 3332 and extends along the first direction a toward the mounting base 331. The second feeding part 3333 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first feeding part 3332, and the second feeding part 3333 is columnar and extends along the first direction a toward the direction away from the mounting base 331, thereby ensuring that the second feeding part 3333 can contact the material plate when the connecting rod 3331 rotates.

[0091] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the mounting base 331 includes a first mounting plate 3311, a second mounting plate 3312, and a plurality of support columns 3313. The first mounting plate 3311 is further away from the first support base 31 than the second mounting plate 3312. The first mounting plate 3311 is located above the second mounting plate 3312. The plurality of support columns 3313 are spaced apart and connected between the first mounting plate 3311 and the second mounting plate 3312 to form a support. A first driving member 332 is mounted on the first mounting plate 3311, and one end of the connecting rod 3331 passes through the second mounting plate 3312 and is connected to the output end of the first driving member 332.

[0092] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the feeding component 333 is provided with a first sensing plate 334, and the mounting base 331 is provided with a first sensor 335 and a second sensor 336. The first sensor 335 and the second sensor 336 can sense the first sensing plate 334 to limit the rotation range of the connecting rod 3331, ensuring that the rotation range of the connecting rod 3331 can be accurately limited, and preventing the feeding component 333 from colliding with other components.

[0093] The first sensor 335 and the second sensor 336 are mounted on the first mounting plate 3311, and the first sensing plate 334 is mounted on the connecting rod 3331. When the connecting rod 3331 rotates, the first sensing plate 334 can trigger the first sensor 335 and the second sensor 336. Before feeding, the first sensing plate 334 triggers the first sensor 335. When feeding is required, the first driving member 332 drives the feeding member 333 to rotate, and the first sensing plate 334 rotates with the feeding member 333. When the first sensing plate 334 triggers the second sensor 336, the first driving member 332 stops driving. At this time, the second feeding part 3333 has displacement in the first direction a. The second feeding part 3333 applies a pushing force on the material plate, which can push the material plate to produce displacement in the first direction a.

[0094] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the feeding assembly 33 also includes a transmission assembly 337, which is installed between the first mounting plate 3311 and the second mounting plate 3312. The feeding component 333 includes a first feeding component 333a and a second feeding component 333b. The first sensing plate 334 is disposed on the first feeding component 333a or on the second feeding component 333b.

[0095] The first driving component 332 can simultaneously drive the first feeding component 333a and the second feeding component 333b to rotate through the transmission assembly 337, so that the first feeding component 333a and the second feeding component 333b keep synchronized. During the process of pushing the material plate into the material box 2, the first feeding component 333a and the second feeding component 333b simultaneously apply pushing force on the material plate, which can apply uniform pushing force from different positions, so that the material plate can enter the material box 2 smoothly and avoid jamming or tilting.

[0096] The rotation direction of the first feeding component 333a is opposite to that of the second feeding component 333b. That is, when the first feeding component 333a rotates clockwise, the second feeding component 333b rotates counterclockwise. When the first feeding component 333a rotates counterclockwise, the second feeding component 333b rotates clockwise. This ensures that the components between the first and second feeding components 333a and 333b do not interfere with each other during their rotation.

[0097] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the transmission assembly 337 includes a drive wheel 3371, a transition wheel 3372, a first driven wheel 3373, and a second driven wheel 3374. The drive wheel 3371 is connected to the output end of the first drive member 332. The first driven wheel 3373 is mounted on the connecting rod 3331 of the first feeding member 333a and meshes with the drive wheel 3371. Through the meshing of the first driven wheel 3373 and the drive wheel 3371, power can be stably transmitted from the first drive member 332 to the first feeding member 333a, thereby realizing the rotation of the first feeding member 333a.

[0098] The second driven wheel 3374 is installed on the second feeding component 333b and meshes with the transition wheel 3372. The transition wheel 3372 meshes with the driving wheel 3371. That is, the second driven wheel 3374, the transition wheel 3372 and the driving wheel 3371 mesh in sequence. The transition wheel 3372 plays the role of transmitting power and changing the transmission direction. When the first feeding component 333a and the second feeding component 333b need to rotate in opposite directions, the transition wheel 3372 is set between the second driven wheel 3374 and the driving wheel 3371, which can change the rotation direction of the second feeding component 333b, so that the rotation direction of the second feeding component 333b is different from the rotation direction of the first feeding component 333a.

[0099] In one embodiment, the receiving mechanism 3 further includes a pressing assembly 34 connected to the first support base 31. The pressing assembly 34 applies pressure to the material plate to increase the friction between the material plate and the conveying assembly 32 when the conveying assembly 32 moves the material plate. When there is sufficient friction between the material plate and the conveying assembly 32, the power of the conveying assembly 32 can be effectively transmitted to the material plate, and the material plate can better "attach" to the conveying assembly 32, thereby moving stably with the movement of the conveying assembly 32 and reducing the possibility of slippage and deviation.

[0100] In one embodiment, the receiving mechanism 3 further includes a support rod 36 and a connecting rod 37. The support rod 36 is mounted on the first support base 31, the middle part of the connecting rod 37 is rotatably connected to the support rod 36, one end of the connecting rod 37 is rotatably connected to the pressing assembly 34, and the other end of the connecting rod 37 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 331 of the feeding assembly 33.

[0101] With support rod 36 as the fulcrum, when connecting rod 37 rotates relative to support rod 36, it can drive pressing assembly 34 and pushing assembly 33 to move in opposite directions in the third direction c; the first direction a and the third direction c are not parallel and do not coincide. Connected between the mounting bases 331 of pressing assembly 34 and pushing assembly 33 by connecting rod 37, synchronous reverse movement of pressing assembly 34 and pushing assembly 33 can be achieved, reducing the operation time of the receiving mechanism 3, and pressing assembly 34 and pushing assembly 33 can share a drive component, reducing the number of components.

[0102] When the feeding component 33 moves upward along the third direction c, it can avoid interfering with the movement of the material plate. Through the transmission of the connecting rod 37, the pressing component 34 moves downward along the third direction c. The pressing component 34 can gradually approach the conveying component 32, thereby pressing the material plate between the pressing component 34 and the conveying component 32, increasing the friction between the material plate and the conveying component 32, and realizing the pressing component 34 squeezing the material plate.

[0103] When the material plate reaches the preset position, the feeding component 33 moves downward along the third direction c, and through the transmission of the connecting rod 37, the pressing component 34 moves upward along the third direction c. This causes the pressing component 34 to leave the material plate and no longer apply pressure to the material plate. At the same time, after the feeding component 33 moves downward into place, it is convenient for the first driving component 332 to drive the feeding component 333 to rotate and move the material plate.

[0104] In one embodiment, the pressing assembly 34 includes a first pressing roller 341, a pressing roller mounting frame 342, and a connecting member 343. The first pressing roller 341 is mounted on the pressing roller mounting frame 342. The first pressing roller 341 is used to press the material plate when the conveying assembly 32 moves the material plate, thereby increasing the friction between the material plate and the conveying assembly 32. The first pressing roller 341 is rotatably connected to the pressing roller mounting frame 342. The rolling characteristics of the first pressing roller 341 ensure that while pressing the material plate, it does not cause excessive wear or scratches to the surface of the material plate.

[0105] One end of the connector 343 is connected to the pressure roller mounting bracket 342, and the other end of the connector 343 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 37. The connector 343 enables the connection between the pressing assembly 34 and the connecting rod 37, so that the pressing assembly 34 can move up and down under the drive of the second drive member 35 through the connection between the connecting rod 37 and the connector 343.

[0106] In one embodiment, the pressing assembly 34 further includes an adapter 345 and an elastic element 346. The adapter 345 is mounted on the pressure roller mounting frame 342 and has a receiving cavity 3451. One end of the connector 343 near the pressure roller mounting frame 342 is disposed in the receiving cavity 3451. The elastic element 346 is disposed in the receiving cavity 3451 and abuts against the connector 343 and the pressure roller mounting frame 342. The elastic element 346 is a compression spring. The connector 343 can move downward and compress the elastic element 346, so that the elastic element 346 generates an elastic force applied to the material plate. The elastic force generated by the compressed elastic element 346 is transmitted to the pressure roller mounting frame 342, and then applied to the material plate through the first pressure roller 341, so that the pressing assembly 34 can automatically adjust the pressure according to different conditions of the material plate. In addition, during the pressing process, the elastic element 346 can play a buffering role, reducing the impact between the first pressure roller 341 and the material plate, and protecting the material plate from excessive pressure impact.

[0107] Among them, a limiting member 344 is provided at one end of the connector 343 near the pressure roller mounting bracket 342. In the third direction c, the projection area of ​​the limiting member 344 is larger than the projection area of ​​the connector 343. The limiting member 344 protrudes from the connector 343 in the circumferential direction. The limiting member 344 is accommodated in the receiving cavity 3451, which can effectively limit the position of the connector 343 in the third direction c, so that it cannot be separated from the receiving cavity 3451, thereby realizing the connection between the connector 343 and the pressure roller mounting bracket 342.

[0108] In one embodiment, the pressing assembly 34 further includes a first guide shaft 347 and a second guide shaft 348. One end of the first guide shaft 347 is connected to the pressure roller mounting bracket 342, and the other end of the first guide shaft 347 is slidably fitted on the first support base 31. One end of the second guide shaft 348 is connected to the pressure roller mounting bracket 342, and the other end of the second guide shaft 348 passes through the top plate of the first support base 31 and is slidably fitted on the mounting base 331. The first guide shaft 347 and the second guide shaft 348 can guide the movement of the pressing assembly 34, ensuring the accuracy of the pressing direction and preventing the pressure roller mounting bracket 342 from shifting or shaking during movement, which would cause the first pressure roller 341 to be unable to uniformly press the material plate and affect the pressing effect.

[0109] The first support 31 is equipped with a linear bearing, and the first guide shaft 347 and the second guide shaft 348 are slidably fitted together through the linear bearing. The mounting base 331 is equipped with a linear bearing, and the other end of the second guide shaft 348 passes through the linear bearings of the first support 31 and the mounting base 331 in sequence.

[0110] In one embodiment, the receiving mechanism 3 further includes a second driving member 35, the output end of which is connected to the feeding assembly 33. The second driving member 35 drives the feeding assembly 33 to reciprocate along a third direction c, which in turn drives the connecting rod 37 to rotate relative to the support rod 36. The third direction c is the vertical direction. When the second driving member 35 drives the feeding assembly 33 to move vertically along the third direction c, it can drive the pressing assembly 34 to reciprocate along the third direction c through the mounting base 331 and the connecting rod 37. When the pressing assembly 34 moves downward, it can gradually approach the conveying assembly 32, thereby pressing the material plate between the pressing assembly 34 and the conveying assembly 32 to apply pressure to the material plate.

[0111] When the second driving member 35 drives the feeding assembly 33 to move upward, the connecting rod 37 and the support rod 36 are rotated together, allowing the pressing assembly 34 to move downward. After the first pressure roller 341 contacts the material plate, the pressure roller mounting bracket 342 stops moving downward. Then, the second driving member 35 continues to drive the feeding assembly 33 to move upward. Through the connection between the connecting rod 37 and the connecting member 343, the connecting member 43 can be driven to continue moving downward, causing the elastic member 346 to be compressed. The elastic member 346 generates elastic force, which is applied to the material plate through the pressure roller mounting bracket 342, thereby squeezing the material plate and increasing the friction between the material plate and the conveying assembly 32.

[0112] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5As shown, the pressing assembly 34 also includes a third sensing plate 3441 and a fifth sensor 349. The third sensing plate 3441 is mounted on the limiting member 344, and the fifth sensor 349 is mounted on the adapter 345. The connecting member 343 can continuously move downward and compress the elastic member 346 under the drive of the second driving member 35. When the third sensing plate 3441 triggers the fifth sensor 349, the second driving member 35 stops driving the connecting member 343. The third sensing plate 3441 and the fifth sensor 349 can limit the movement range of the connecting member 343, preventing the connecting member 343 from excessively compressing the elastic member 346, thereby avoiding excessive pressure on the material plate.

[0113] In one embodiment, the second drive member 35 can drive the feeding assembly 33 to reciprocate along a third direction c between a first position and a second position, the first position being above the second position. The second drive member 35 can drive the pressing assembly 34 to reciprocate along a third direction c between a third position and a fourth position, the third position being above the fourth position.

[0114] The second driving component 35 drives the feeding assembly 33 to move upward to the first position, and simultaneously drives the pressing assembly 34 to move downward to the fourth position via the connecting rod 37. At this time, there is a gap between the end of the feeding component 333 near the conveying assembly 32 and the conveying assembly 32, which can avoid the material plate and facilitate the conveying assembly 32 to move the material plate to the preset position. The pressing assembly 34 presses on the material plate, increasing the friction and facilitating the conveying assembly 32 to convey the material plate.

[0115] After the material plate reaches the preset position, the second driving component 35 drives the feeding component 33 to move downward from the first position to the second position. At the same time, the connecting rod 37 drives the pressing component 34 to move upward to the third position. The pressing component 34 disengages from the material plate, the conveying component 32 stops moving, and the first driving component 332 drives the feeding component 333 to rotate, so that the feeding component 333 can push the material plate to move.

[0116] The feeding component 333 has three positions during rotation: zero position, first rotation position, and second rotation position. The first sensor 335 and the second sensor 336 are arranged opposite each other in the first direction a. In the initial state, the feeding component 333 is located at the zero position, and the first sensing plate 334 is located between the first sensor 335 and the second sensor 336. At this time, the second feeding part 3333 is located above the material plate.

[0117] When the material plate reaches the preset position, during the process of the feeding assembly 33 moving downward from the first position to the second position, after the feeding assembly 33 moves downward from the first position to the initial position, the first drive member 332 drives the first feeding member 333a and the second feeding member 333b to rotate outward from the zero point position. When the first sensing plate 334 triggers the first sensor 335, the first sensor 335 receives the arrival signal, and the first drive member 332 stops operating. At this time, the second feeding part 3333 of the first feeding member 333a and the second feeding part 3333 of the second feeding member 333b swing outward, which can avoid the material plate in the vertical direction, making it convenient for the feeding assembly 33 to continue moving downward.

[0118] After the feeding assembly 33 continues to move downward to the second position, the first driving member 332 drives the first feeding member 333a and the second feeding member 333b to rotate. The first feeding member 333a and the second feeding member 333b can push the material plate to move until the first sensing plate 334 triggers the second sensor 336, at which point the first driving member 332 stops operating.

[0119] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a third sensor 311 and a fourth sensor 312 are provided on the first support base 31, with the third sensor 311 positioned above the fourth sensor 312 in the third direction c.

[0120] The pressing assembly 34 is provided with a second sensing plate 3421, which is mounted on the pressure roller mounting bracket 342. The second sensing plate 3421 can trigger a third sensor 311 or a fourth sensor 312. The third sensor 311 is an extreme position sensor that can limit the highest position of the pressing assembly 34 to move upward. The fourth sensor 312 is an initial position sensor that can limit the initial position of the pressing assembly 34.

[0121] like Figure 2 As shown, when the second sensing element 3421 triggers the fourth sensor 312, the pressing component 34 and the feeding component 33 are in the initial position. When the conveying component 32 starts to convey the material plate, the second driving component 35 drives the feeding component 33 to move upward and simultaneously drives the pressing component 34 to move downward until the pressing component 34 squeezes the material plate.

[0122] After the conveying component 32 conveys the material plate to the preset position, the second driving component 35 drives the feeding component 33 to move downward and simultaneously drives the pressing component 34 to move upward. The second sensing plate 3421 moves upward with the pressing component 34. When the second sensing plate 3421 triggers the third sensor 311, the pressing component 34 stops moving, and the feeding component 33 and the pressing component 34 move into place. Then, the first driving component 332 drives the feeding component 333 to feed the material.

[0123] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, two pressing assemblies 34 are provided, namely a first pressing assembly and a second pressing assembly, which are arranged on both sides of the feeding assembly 33 in the second direction b. Correspondingly, two connecting rods 37 are provided, namely a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod. One end of the mounting base 331 is connected to the connecting member 343 of the first pressing assembly through the first connecting rod and is slidably engaged with the second guide shaft 348 of the first pressing assembly. The other end of the mounting base 331 is connected to the connecting member 343 of the second pressing assembly through the second connecting rod and is slidably engaged with the second guide shaft 348 of the second pressing assembly.

[0124] When the second driving member 35 drives the feeding assembly 33 to move upward, the first pressing assembly and the second pressing assembly move downward synchronously. When the second driving member 35 drives the feeding assembly 33 to move downward, the first pressing assembly and the second pressing assembly move upward synchronously.

[0125] In one embodiment, the conveying assembly 32 includes a third driving member 321 and at least one second pressure roller 322. The output end of the third driving member 321 is connected to the second pressure roller 322. The third driving member 321 is used to drive the second pressure roller 322 to rotate, thereby moving the material plate along the first direction a, so as to realize the efficient conveying of the material plate.

[0126] In one embodiment, multiple second pressure rollers 322 are provided, and the multiple second pressure rollers 322 are connected to each other through couplings and connecting shafts. Under the drive of the third driving member 321, the multiple second pressure rollers 322 rotate synchronously.

[0127] The second pressure roller 322 can rotate in both the forward and reverse directions. When the third drive member 321 drives the second pressure roller 322 to rotate in the forward direction, it can move the material plate along the first direction a toward the pushing mechanism 4, making it easier for the material plate to be stored in the material box 2. When the third drive member 321 drives the second pressure roller 322 to rotate in the reverse direction, it can move the material plate away from the pushing mechanism 4 along the first direction a, making it easier for the conveying assembly 32 to cooperate with the pushing mechanism 4 to send the material plate out of the material box 2.

[0128] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first support base 31 is provided with a receiving sensor 313 and a discharging sensor 314. The receiving sensor 313 is used to limit the preset position of the material plate when the material plate moves towards the material box 2 along the first direction a. The discharging sensor 314 is used to limit the preset position of the material plate when the material plate moves away from the material box 2 along the first direction a, so as to accurately control the position of the material plate during receiving and discharging.

[0129] Specifically, during material collection, as the conveying assembly 32 drives the material plate into the material box 2, the material collection sensor 313 can continuously monitor the material plate. When the material collection sensor 313 does not detect the material plate, it indicates that the material plate has passed the material collection sensor 313 in the first direction a, and the material plate has reached the preset position of the material collection operation, and the material feeding action can begin.

[0130] During material discharge, as the conveying component 32 moves the material plate out of the material box 2, the discharge sensor 314 continuously monitors the material plate. When the discharge sensor 314 does not detect the material plate, it indicates that the material plate has passed the discharge sensor 314 in the first direction a, and the material plate has reached the preset position of the discharge operation, and the material feeding action can begin.

[0131] In one embodiment, the feeding mechanism 4 includes a second support base 41, a fourth driving member 42, a driving connector 43, and a feeding member 44. One end of the second support base 41 is connected to the main body 12, the fourth driving member 42 is installed on the other end of the second support base 41, and the feeding member 44 is connected to the driving connector 43.

[0132] The fourth driving component 42 is used to drive the driving connector 43 to move along the first direction a, so that the pusher 44 can send the material plate out of the material box 2, smoothly push the material plate, and realize a stable material discharge process.

[0133] Furthermore, the fourth driving component 42 drives the pushing component 44 to move through the driving connector 43. The pushing component 44 pushes the material plate toward the opening of the material box 2. When the material plate reaches the conveying component 32, the second pressure roller 322 of the conveying component 32 rotates in the opposite direction, and together with the pushing component 44, drives the material plate to move and sends the material plate out of the material box 2.

[0134] In one embodiment, the material box 2 includes a frame 21 and a plurality of support frames 22. The plurality of support frames 22 are spaced apart on the frame 21 along a third direction c. The first direction a and the third direction c are not parallel and do not coincide. The frame 21 is a square frame formed by assembling profiles. The third direction c is the Z direction. The plurality of support frames 22 are spaced apart on the frame 21 along the vertical direction, which can separate multiple storage layers within the frame 21. At least one material plate is placed in each storage layer.

[0135] In one embodiment, the support frame 22 includes a frame body 221, a first guide plate 222 and a second guide plate 223. The frame body 221 is mounted on the frame 21, and the first guide plate 222 and the second guide plate 223 are mounted on the frame body 221.

[0136] The drive connector 43 is provided with a guide groove 434. When the drive connector 43 moves along the first direction a, the drive connector 43 rests on the first guide plate 222 and the second guide plate 223. The first guide plate 222 and the second guide plate 223 slide in cooperation with the guide groove 434 to guide the drive connector 43.

[0137] When the fourth driving member 42 drives the driving connector 43 to move, the driving connector 43 gradually enters the material box 2 along the first direction a. The guide groove 434 slides relative to the first guide plate 222 and the second guide plate 223, thereby accurately guiding the driving connector 43 and ensuring that the driving connector 43 always moves along the preset direction. This prevents the driving connector 43 from deviating during the pushing process and ensures that the material plate can be accurately pushed out of the material box 2.

[0138] In one embodiment, the first guide plate 222 and the second guide plate 223 are disposed opposite to each other along the second direction b. The first guide plate 222 and the second guide plate 223 have an L-shaped structure. The first guide plate 222 includes a first plate 2221 and a second plate 2222 connected to each other. The second guide plate 223 includes a third plate 2231 and a fourth plate 2232 connected to each other. The first plate 2221 is located on the side of the second plate 2222 that is close to the second guide plate 223. The third plate 2231 is located on the side of the fourth plate 2232 that is close to the first guide plate 222. The second plate 2222 and the fourth plate 2232 are both located on the XY plane.

[0139] During the movement of the drive connector 43, the drive connector 43 overlaps the first plate 2221 and the third plate 2231. The first plate 2221 and the third plate 2231 form a slide rail and slide in the guide groove 434. The first plate 2221 and the third plate 2231 guide the movement of the drive connector 43 and prevent the drive connector 43 from deviating.

[0140] In one embodiment, a first guide plate 222 and a second guide plate 223 are spaced apart on the frame 221. A groove 224 is formed between the first guide plate 222 and the second guide plate 223 for the pins on the feed plate to pass through. The groove 224 is located between the first plate 2221 and the third plate 2231. When the feed plate moves in the hopper 2, the pins on the feed plate can move along the groove 224, so that the movement of the feed plate can be guided by the groove 224 when the feed plate enters and exits the hopper 2, avoiding the feed plate from deviating and affecting the feeding and discharging.

[0141] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the drive connector 43 includes a first side plate 431, a second side plate 432, and a plurality of side plate connectors 433. The first side plate 431 and the second side plate 432 are arranged opposite to each other along the second direction b. The pusher 44 is connected between one end of the first side plate 431 and one end of the second side plate 432. The side plate connectors 433 are connected between the first end of the first side plate 431 and the first end of the second side plate 432 in the third direction c. The first side plate 431 and the second side plate 432 can be connected through the side plate connectors 433. The plurality of side plate connectors 433 are spaced apart along the length direction of the drive connector 43.

[0142] A guide groove 434 is formed between the second end of the first side plate 431 and the second end of the second side plate 432. The dimension of the side plate connector 433 in the third direction c is smaller than the dimension of the first side plate 431 in the third direction c, and the dimension of the side plate connector 433 in the third direction c is smaller than the dimension of the second side plate 432 in the third direction c. That is, in the vertical direction, the bottom of the first side plate 431 is lower than the bottom of the side plate connector 433, and the bottom of the second side plate 432 is lower than the bottom of the side plate connector 433, so that the gap between the second end of the first side plate 431 and the second end of the second side plate 432 is not occupied by the side plate connector 433, thus forming the guide groove 434. After the drive connector 43 is suspended on the first guide plate 222 and the second guide plate 223, the first plate 2221 and the third plate 2231 enter the gap between the first side plate 431 and the second side plate 432, thereby ensuring that the chain moves along the preset path.

[0143] In one embodiment, the drive connector 43 is a rigid chain.

[0144] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the fourth driving component 42 includes a motor 421, a connecting shaft 422, and a sprocket 423. One end of the connecting shaft 422 is connected to the output end of the motor 421, and the other end of the connecting shaft 422 is equipped with the sprocket 423, which meshes with the chain. The motor 421 can drive the connecting shaft 422 to rotate, which in turn drives the sprocket 423 to rotate. Through the meshing action between the sprocket 423 and the chain, the chain can be moved.

[0145] In one embodiment, the feeding mechanism 4 further includes a receiving box 45, which is mounted on a second support base 41. A fourth driving member 42 is mounted on the receiving box 45. The driving connector 43 has a connecting end and a receiving end at its two ends in the first direction a, respectively. The receiving end is housed in the receiving box 45, and the connecting end is connected to the feeding member 44. The fourth driving member 42 can drive the driving connector 43 to be released from or retracted into the receiving box 45.
