[0030] Further, if Figure 1 As shown, the automatic unloading module requires the downstream equipment to provide a material level signal to control unloading; the communication between the unloading station and the AGV automatic navigation system module when entering and exiting the silo needs to be connected using a communication module, and then unloading is performed through the AGV cart.

[0031] Further, if Figure 2-Figure 4As shown, the control system module includes a frame body 1; a guide rod 21 is installed on the top of the frame body 1; a support ear 33 is installed in the middle of the frame body 1; a lower cone assembly 24 is installed at the end of the support ear 33; a first round tube mounting plate 25 is installed on the inner side wall of the lower cone assembly 24; a cylinder 26 is installed on the top of the first round tube mounting plate 25; a support ear 33 is installed on the bottom of the first round tube mounting plate 25; an upper top cone 27 is installed on the top of the lower cone assembly 24; a lower top cone 29 is installed on the inner side wall of the lower cone assembly 24; a vibrator is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 26 The vibrator 28 is installed on the top of the vibrator mounting plate 31; the control device 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame body 1; the inner side wall of the guide rod 21 is installed with a support rod 22; the end of the support rod 22 is installed with a mobile silo 23; the end of the lower cone assembly 24 is installed with a sanitary cover; a bellows 32 is installed between the vibrator mounting plate 31 and the first round tube mounting plate 25; weighing sensors are installed at the four corners of the frame body 1; when working, when in use, by moving the mobile silo 23 to the top of the frame body 1, the support rod 22 and the mobile silo 23 can be adjusted by the guide rod 21.

The cylinder 26 drives the vibrator 28 to vibrate, so that the conical valve in the movable bin 23 moves up and down, so that the material will not be blocked at the discharge port, so that it can assist in unloading. After that, it can meet the needs of using a manually operated forklift or an AGV automatic navigation vehicle for unloading. In this process, the vibrator 28 is used to drive the conical valve in the movable bin 23 to move up and down. The up and down movement can prevent the mobile silo 23 from being blocked during material unloading, improve the smoothness of material unloading, and increase the material unloading speed; the pneumatic system must have good sealing performance, which can effectively control the dust from leaking during the unloading process.
