By setting at least two first synchronous wheels 1121 arranged along a preset direction in the horizontal conveying structure 112, and making at least two first synchronous wheels 1121 jointly tension and mesh the first synchronous belt 1122, the first driving member 111 drives one of the first synchronous wheels 1121 in the horizontal conveying structure 112 to rotate, and the first synchronous belt 1122 can be driven to move along the preset direction, thereby driving the material frame 2000 overlapped on the first synchronous belt 1122 to move along the preset direction. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the horizontal conveying structure 112 only includes two first synchronous wheels 1121. In other embodiments, three or more first synchronous wheels 1121 can also be set to jointly tension the first synchronous belt 1122, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment. In addition, in this embodiment, the first driving member 111 is a rotary motor. The rotary motor has a stable output power and a large output power. In other embodiments, the first driving member 111 can be a rotary cylinder or other rotary drive structure, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

By providing a transmission structure 113 consisting of two second synchronous wheels 1131, a second synchronous belt 1132 and at least one connecting rod 1133, the two second synchronous wheels 1131 jointly tension and mesh the second synchronous belt 1132, and the output end of the first driving member 111 is connected to any one of the two second synchronous wheels 1131, one end of the connecting rod 1133 is connected to the other second synchronous wheel 1131, and the other end of the connecting rod 1133 is connected to the first synchronous wheel 1121, so that the first driving member 111 drives the second synchronous wheel 1131 to rotate, thereby driving the second synchronous belt 1132 to move, the second synchronous belt 1132 drives the other second synchronous wheel 1131 to rotate, and the second synchronous wheel 1131 drives the connecting rod 1133 and the first synchronous wheel 1121 to rotate, so that the relative position of the first driving member 111 and the first synchronous wheel 1121 can be changed, thereby changing the installation position of the first driving member 111 and the horizontal conveying structure 112, and improving the structural compactness of the horizontal conveying assembly 110.

[0068] In this embodiment, two groups of horizontal conveying structures 112 are arranged in the horizontal conveying assembly 110, and the two groups of horizontal conveying structures 112 are arranged side by side along the first direction. The two groups of horizontal conveying structures 112 support the material frame 2000 along the two ends of the first direction of the material frame 2000 respectively, and the two groups of horizontal conveying structures 112 are connected to the output end of the first driving member 111 through the transmission structure 113 respectively. The first driving member 111 synchronously drives the two groups of horizontal conveying structures 112, and the first direction and the preset direction are perpendicular to each other in the horizontal plane. By setting two groups of horizontal conveying structures 112 arranged side by side along the first direction, it is ensured that the first direction and the preset direction are perpendicular to each other in the horizontal plane, and the first driving member 111 synchronously drives the two groups of horizontal conveying structures 112, so that the two groups of horizontal conveying structures 112 synchronously drive the material frame 2000 from the two ends of the material frame 2000 along the first direction to move along the preset direction, and further improve the driving stability of the material frame 2000. It should be noted that in this embodiment, since the preset direction is the left-right direction, the first direction is the front-back direction. In other embodiments, the specific orientation of the first direction may also be adaptively adjusted according to the specific orientation of the preset direction.

[0069] In addition, in this embodiment, since the carrier 140 synchronously supports two material frames 2000 along a preset direction, two groups of horizontal conveying structures 112 arranged side by side along the first direction are used as a group of driving modules, and two groups are provided on the carrier 140, and the two groups of driving modules are synchronously driven by the first driving member 111 to adapt to the two material frames 2000 on the carrier 140. In other embodiments, the length of each group of horizontal conveying structures 112 can also be adjusted along the preset direction, so that only one group of driving modules drives the two material frames 2000 to move along the preset direction, or three or more groups of driving modules are provided to synchronously drive the two material frames 2000 to move, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0070] As an alternative, Figure 5 As shown, the vertical conveying assembly 120 includes a second driving member 121, a gear 122 and a rack 123, wherein the second driving member 121 is arranged at the platform 140, the gear 122 is fixed at the output end of the second driving member 121, the second driving member 121 can drive the gear 122 to rotate around the horizontal axis, the rack 123 extends in the vertical direction, and the side wall of the rack 123 is meshed with the gear 122. By arranging the rack 123 extending in the vertical direction, the second driving member 121 is arranged at the platform 140, the gear 122 is connected to the output end of the second driving member 121, and the gear 122 is meshed with the rack 123. When the second driving member 121 drives the gear 122 to rotate, due to the mutual meshing of the gear 122 and the rack 123, the gear 122 will move in the vertical direction, thereby driving the second driving member 121 and the platform 140 to move in the vertical direction, the structure is simple, and the movement is stable. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the second driving member 121 is a rotary motor. The rotary motor has a stable output power and a large output power. In other embodiments, the second driving member 121 may be a rotary cylinder or other rotary drive structure, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0071] In order to improve the moving accuracy of the carrier 140 in the vertical direction, the vertical conveying assembly 120 further includes a guide rail 124, wherein the guide rail 124 extends in the vertical direction, and a guide slider 141 is provided on the carrier 140, and the guide slider 141 slides with the guide rail 124. When the gear 122 moves in the vertical direction relative to the rack 123, the guide slider 141 on the carrier 140 slides along the guide rail 124 to ensure the moving accuracy of the gear 122. It should be noted that in this embodiment, a fixed plate 125 extending in the vertical direction is provided in the vertical conveying assembly 120, and the rack 123 and the guide rail 124 are both fixed on the fixed plate 125 to ensure the structural strength of the vertical conveying assembly 120.

[0072] In addition, guide sliders 141 are provided at both ends of the carrier 140 along the first direction, and each guide slider 141 is provided corresponding to the guide rail 124 and the fixing plate 125 to further improve the guiding effect of the carrier 140 .

[0073] In order to improve the docking accuracy between the carrier 140 and the feeding station, the finished product discharging station and the defective product discharging station, as Figure 2 As shown, the double-station material dispensing mechanism 100 also includes a first position detection component 150, wherein the feeding station, the finished product discharging station and the defective product discharging station are all provided with the first position detection component 150, each group of the first position detection components 150 is communicated and connected with the second driving member 121 in the vertical conveying component 120, and each group of the first position detection components 150 is configured to detect the position of the carrier 140. When it is necessary to drive the carrier 140 to move to the feeding station in the vertical direction, with the driving of the second driving member 121, the first position detection component 150 located at the feeding station detects the carrier 140, and then the first position detection component 150 transmits the detection information to the second driving member 121, and the second driving member 121 stops working according to the detection information, so that the carrier 140 stops at the feeding station. It can be understood that the same is true for stopping the carrier 140 at the finished product discharging station and the defective product discharging station, which will not be repeated here. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first position detection component 150 is a group of incident laser sensors. In other embodiments, the first position detection component 150 may also be an ultrasonic or other position sensor, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0074] In an alternative embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the double-station material dispensing mechanism 100 further includes a stopper assembly 130, which is arranged at one end of the platform 140 close to the finished product unloading mechanism 400 and the defective product unloading mechanism 500 along the preset direction, and the stopper assembly 130 can stop and position the material frame 2000 moving along the preset direction. By setting the stopper assembly 130 at one end of the platform 140 close to the finished product unloading mechanism 400 and the defective product unloading mechanism 500 along the preset direction, the stopper assembly 130 stops and positions the material frame 2000 moving along the preset direction, so that the material frame 2000 can be stably overlapped on the platform 140, and the horizontal conveying assembly 110 is prevented from driving the material frame 2000 to move along the preset direction and separate from the platform 140.

[0075] Specifically, the stopper assembly 130 includes a third driving member 131 and a stopper 132, wherein the third driving member 131 is arranged at the carrier 140, the stopper 132 is connected to the output end of the third driving member 131, and the third driving member 131 can drive the stopper 132 to extend or retract from the upper end surface of the carrier 140 in the up-down direction, and the stopper 132 abuts against the material frame 2000. When the material frame 2000 needs to be stopped and positioned in a preset direction, the third driving member 131 drives the stopper 132 to extend from the upper end surface of the carrier 140 in the up-down direction, so that the material frame 2000 abuts against the stopper 132 when moving in the preset direction. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the third driving member 131 is a linear cylinder. The linear cylinder has a simple structure, a disassembly and assembly method, and is sensitive to reaction. In other embodiments, the third driving member 131 can also be a linear motor or other linear drive structure, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0076] To further facilitate the control of the moving position of the material frame 2000 along the preset direction, as Figure 4 As shown, the double-station material dispensing mechanism 100 further includes a second position detection assembly 160, wherein two groups of second position detection assemblies 160 are arranged on the carrier 140 at intervals along a preset direction, each group of second position detection assemblies 160 is communicatively connected with the first driving member 111 in the horizontal conveying assembly 110, and each group of second position detection assemblies 160 is respectively configured to detect the position of the material frame 2000. When the two groups of second position detection assemblies 160 detect the material frame 2000 at the same time, the two groups of second position detection assemblies 160 respectively transmit the detection information to the first driving member 111, and the first driving member 111 stops working according to the detection information of the two groups of second position detection assemblies 160, so as to avoid driving the material frame 2000 to separate from the carrier 140 along the preset direction.

[0077] In addition, in other embodiments, the two groups of second position detection components 160 can also be communicatively connected with the first drive member 111 and the third drive member 131 at the same time, so that when the two groups of second position detection components 160 simultaneously detect the material frame 2000, the two groups of second position detection components 160 respectively transmit the detection information to the first drive member 111 and also transmit the detection information to the third drive member 131, and the third drive member 131 synchronously drives the stopper 132 to extend out of the upper end surface of the carrier 140, so that the stopper 132 can abut against the material frame 2000 along a preset direction. In addition, in other embodiments, the two groups of second position detection components 160 can also be communicatively connected with the third drive member 131 only, and this embodiment does not make specific limitations.

[0078] It should be noted that in this embodiment, two material frames 2000 are disposed on the carrier 140 . Therefore, four sets of second position detection components 160 are disposed at intervals along a preset direction on the carrier 140 , and each material frame 2000 is disposed correspondingly to two sets of second position detection components 160 .
