[0054] See also Figure 1The embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic feeding and discharging device 100, comprising a feeding assembly 10, a processing assembly 20 and a discharging assembly 30. The feeding assembly 10 comprises a feeding conveyor 11 and two feeding alignment members 13. The feeding conveyor 11 conveys a plate 400 along a first direction. The two feeding alignment members 13 are sequentially arranged at intervals on both sides of the feeding conveyor 11 along a second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The two feeding alignment members 13 can move in a direction approaching or moving away from each other to position the plate 400. The processing assembly 20 comprises a processing carrier 21, a processing conveyor 23 and two processing alignment members 25. The processing carrier 21 is used to carry the plate 400. The processing conveyor 23 is used to convey the plate 400 along the first direction. The two processing alignment members 25 are sequentially arranged at intervals on both sides of the processing carrier 21 along the second direction. The two processing alignment members 25 can move in a direction approaching or moving away from each other. The feeding assembly 10 , the processing assembly 20 and the discharging assembly 30 are sequentially arranged along the first direction. The discharging assembly 30 includes a discharging conveying member 31 , and the discharging conveying member 31 is used to convey the plate 400 along the first direction.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present invention, the two feed alignment members 13 align the plate 400, the feed conveyor member 11 transports the aligned plate 400 to the processing component 20, the processing conveyor member 23 continues to transport the plate 400 to the processing position, and the two processing alignment members 25 move in directions approaching each other. After positioning the plate 400, the two processing alignment members 25 move in directions away from each other to make way for the processing device 200 for processing. After the plate 400 carrier carries the plate 400 for processing, the processing conveyor member 23 transports the processed plate 400 to the discharging component 30, and the discharging conveyor member 31 continues to transport the plate 400 to realize the unloading of the processed plate 400, thereby realizing the steps of automatically loading the positioned plate 400 and automatically unloading the processed plate 400, thereby improving the degree of automation and improving the processing efficiency.

[0056] Specifically, there are many structures of the feed conveyor 11. The feed conveyor 11 may include structures such as a chain and a conveyor belt. The feed conveyor 11 can transport the plate 400 along the first direction, and this application does not make any specific restrictions.

[0057] There are many structures in which the two feed alignment members 13 can move in the direction of approaching or moving away from each other. The feed alignment member 13 may include a feed alignment block, a guide rail and a cylinder, the feed alignment block is slidably connected to the guide rail, and the cylinder drives the feed alignment block to move along the guide rail; or the feed alignment member 13 may include a feed alignment block, a motor and a screw rod, the feed alignment block is arranged on the screw rod, and the motor drives the screw rod to rotate to drive the feed alignment block to move. It can be understood that the two feed alignment members 13 can move in the direction of moving away from or approaching each other, which can not only position the plate 400 to the desired position by pushing the plate 400, but also can conveniently adapt to the positioning requirements of plates 400 of different sizes. Specifically, when positioning plates 400 of different sizes, the moving strokes of the two feed alignment members 13 can be set to meet the positioning requirements of plates 400 of different sizes. Pressure sensors, distance detectors, etc. can also be set to detect the contact between the feed alignment members 13 and the plates 400 to automatically adjust the moving distance to meet the positioning requirements of plates 400 of different sizes. This application does not impose any specific restrictions.

[0058] It is worth mentioning that please refer to Figure 1 In a certain embodiment, the feed alignment member 13 is further provided with a feed guiding inclined surface, and along the first direction, the distance between the two opposite feed guiding inclined surfaces gradually decreases. In this way, the plate 400 fed along the first direction can be better guided and positioned.

[0059] It can be understood that the two feed alignment members 13 can push and position the plate 400 along the second direction to ensure that the plate 400 fed to the processing assembly 20 is at a desired position in the second direction. The two processing alignment members 25 can push and position the plate 400 along the second direction to avoid the problem of poor processing effect caused by the position of the plate 400 being offset during the process of the feed conveyor 11 conveying the plate 400 and during the process of the processing conveyor 23 conveying the plate 400.

[0060] It is worth noting that the feed assembly 10 may include two feed alignment parts 13, may also include four feed alignment parts 13, six feed alignment parts 13, etc. The feed assembly 10 only needs to include at least two feed alignment parts 13, and this application does not make any specific restrictions.

[0061] Specifically, there are many structures of the processing conveyor 23. The processing conveyor 23 may include structures such as chains and conveyor belts. The processing conveyor 23 can transport the plate 400 along the first direction, and this application does not make any specific restrictions.

[0062] There are many structures in which the two processing alignment members 25 can move in the direction of approaching or moving away from each other. The processing alignment member 25 may include a processing alignment block, a guide rail and a cylinder, the processing alignment block is slidably connected to the guide rail, and the cylinder drives the processing alignment block to move along the guide rail; or the processing alignment member 25 may include a processing alignment block, a motor and a screw rod, the processing alignment block is arranged on the screw rod, and the motor drives the screw rod to rotate to drive the processing alignment block to move. It can be understood that the two processing alignment members 25 can move in the direction of moving away from or approaching each other, which can not only position the plate 400 to the desired position by pushing the plate 400, but also can conveniently adapt to the positioning requirements of plates 400 of different sizes. Specifically, when positioning plates 400 of different sizes, the moving strokes of the two processing alignment members 25 can be set to meet the positioning requirements of plates 400 of different sizes. Pressure sensors, distance detectors and other detection measures can also be set to automatically adjust the moving distance by measuring the contact between the processing alignment members 25 and the plates 400 to meet the positioning requirements of plates 400 of different sizes. This application does not impose any specific restrictions.

[0063] It is worth noting that the processing assembly 20 may include two processing alignment parts 25, or may include four processing alignment parts 25, six processing alignment parts 25, etc. The processing assembly 20 only needs to include at least two processing alignment parts 25, and this application does not make any specific restrictions.

[0064] It is worth mentioning that please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the processing alignment member 25 is further provided with a processing guide inclined surface, and along the first direction, the distance between the two opposite processing guide inclined surfaces gradually decreases. In this way, the plate 400 processed along the first direction can be better guided and positioned.

[0065] The processing carrier 21 is used to carry the plate 400 for processing. It can be understood that the processing carrier 21 may include a negative pressure adsorption member, and the processing carrier 21 adsorbs and limits the plate 400 through negative pressure; the processing carrier 21 may include an electromagnet 211, and the processing carrier 21 adsorbs and limits the plate 400 through magnetic attraction. The processing carrier 21 may also not include a limiting member, and the relative position relationship between the plate 400 and the processing carrier 21 is maintained by the gravity of the plate 400. This application does not make specific restrictions.

[0066] It is understandable that during the processing of the plate 400, the processing conveyor 23 can stop conveying, or the processing carrier 21 can be set to move in the vertical direction to separate the plate 400 from the processing conveyor 23. This application does not impose specific limitations.

[0067] The discharging assembly 30 is used to transport the processed plate 400. It can be understood that there are many structures of the discharging conveyor 31. The discharging conveyor 31 can include structures such as chains and conveyor belts. The discharging conveyor 31 can transport the plate 400 along the first direction, and this application does not make specific restrictions.

[0068] See also Figures 1 to 3 In the embodiment of the present invention, the automatic feeding and unloading device 100 also includes a first abutment component 40, which is arranged between the feeding component 10 and the processing component 20. The first abutment component 40 includes a first abutment block 41 and a first lifting drive component 43. The first lifting drive component 43 drives the first abutment block 41 to move along the third direction so that the first abutment block 41 abuts against the plate 400 on the feeding component 10. The first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other, and the third direction is along the vertical direction.

[0069] In this way, the first abutment member can abut against the plate 400 on the feed component 10 to prevent the plate 400 on the processing component 20 from rushing into the processing component 20 during the processing, thereby affecting the processing quality.

[0070] It can be understood that when there is no need to feed materials to the processing component 20, the first lifting drive member 43 drives the first abutment block 41 to rise in the vertical direction, so that the first abutment block 41 abuts against the plate 400 on the feeding component 10; when it is necessary to feed materials to the processing component 20, the first lifting drive member 43 drives the first abutment block 41 to descend in the vertical direction, so that the first abutment block 41 gives way to the plate 400 on the feeding component 10, and the plate 400 moves to feed the material under the action of the feeding conveyor 11 and the processing conveyor 23.

[0071] For further information, see Figures 1 to 3 The first abutment assembly 40 also includes a first displacement driving member 45, which is transmission-connected to the first abutment block 41. The first displacement driving member 45 drives the first abutment block 41 to move along the first direction so that the first abutment block 41 abuts against the plate 400 on the processing assembly 20.

[0072] In this way, after the plate 400 is loaded onto the processing assembly 20, the first lifting drive member 43 drives the first abutment block 41 to rise, and the first displacement drive member 45 drives the first abutment block 41 to move along the first direction, so that the first abutment block 41 abuts against the plate 400 on the processing assembly 20, thereby realizing the positioning of the plate 400 on the processing assembly 20 by the first abutment block 41.

[0073] It can be understood that when the processing component 20 does not need to be loaded, the first lifting drive member 43 drives the first abutment block 41 to rise, so that the first abutment block 41 abuts against the plate 400 on the feeding component 10; when the processing component 20 needs to be loaded, the first lifting drive member 43 drives the first abutment block 41 to descend, so that the first abutment block 41 makes way for the plate 400; after the plate 400 is loaded onto the processing component 20, the first lifting drive member 43 drives the first abutment block 41 to rise, and the first displacement drive member 45 drives the first abutment block 41 to move along the first direction, so that the first abutment block 41 approaches the processing component 20 to abut against the plate 400 on the processing component 20, and assists in positioning the plate 400 to the required position for processing. After positioning is completed, the first displacement drive member 45 drives the first abutment block 41 to move in a direction away from the processing component 20, so that the first abutment block 41 avoids the processing device 200, thereby preventing the processing device 200 from hitting the first abutment block 41 when processing the plate 400.

[0074] It is understandable that the first displacement driving member 45 may include a driving member such as a motor and a cylinder, and the first lifting driving member 43 may also include a driving member such as a motor and a cylinder, and this application does not make specific restrictions. It is understandable that the first abutment assembly 40 may also include a slide rail, a roller and other structures to guide the movement of the first abutment block 41 along the third direction or the first direction, and this application will not go into details one by one.

[0075] See also Figure 4 In the embodiment of the present invention, the automatic feeding and unloading device 100 also includes a first sensor 50, which is arranged on the feeding component 10 to detect whether a plate 400 passes through the feeding component 10, and the first sensor 50 is communicatively connected with the first abutting component 40.

[0076] In this way, when the first sensing member 50 senses the plate 400 passing by, the first lifting drive member 43 of the first abutment assembly 40 can be lifted in time, that is, the sensing information of the first sensing member 50 can provide a basis for the lifting of the first lifting drive member 43, further improving the automation of the automatic feeding and unloading device 100, and automatically adapting to the alignment requirements of various loading intervals.

[0077] It can be understood that there are many communication connection methods between the first sensing element 50 and the first abutment component 40. The first sensing element 50 and the first abutment component 40 can be electrically connected, or the first sensing element 50 and the first abutment component 40 can be wirelessly connected via Bluetooth, cloud, etc., and the first abutment component 40 can respond according to the sensing result of the first sensing element 50. This application does not make any specific restrictions.

[0078] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first abutting assembly 40 further includes a first in-position sensor (not shown), which is used to detect whether the plate 400 is in abutment with the first abutting block 41 .

[0079] In this way, the first in-place sensing element can detect whether the plate 400 is in contact with the first abutting block 41, thereby detecting whether the plate 400 is in place, improving the automation of the automatic feeding and unloading device 100, and providing a basis for timely discovering that the material is not in place.

[0080] It can be understood that the first in-position sensing member may include a rangefinder, a pressure sensor, etc. In a certain embodiment, the first in-position sensing member includes a pressure sensor, the plate 400 abuts against the first abutting block 41, and the pressure sensor is arranged on the first abutting block 41. The pressure sensor detects the pressure applied by the plate 400, and realizes the detection of the abutting state of the plate 400 and the first abutting block 41. In another embodiment, the first in-position sensing member includes a zero-volt sensor, the first abutting block 41 is grounded to maintain zero volts, the plate 400 is made of metal, and the plate 400 has a certain voltage before abutting against the first abutting block 41. When the plate 400 abuts against the first abutting block 41, the plate 400 is connected to the first abutting block 41, and the voltage becomes zero volts. The zero-volt sensor is used to detect the voltage of the plate 400. In this way, when the zero-volt sensor detects that the voltage of the plate 400 reaches zero volts, it can be determined that the plate 400 abuts against the first abutting block 41. Specifically, the zero-volt sensor can directly contact the plate 400 to detect the voltage of the plate 400. The zero-volt sensor can also contact structures such as the feed conveyor 11 to indirectly detect the voltage of the plate 400 through the voltage of the structure in contact with the plate 400. This application does not make specific restrictions.

[0081] See also Figure 1 , Figures 5 to 7 In the embodiment of the present invention, the automatic feeding and discharging device 100 also includes a second abutment component 60, which is arranged between the processing component 20 and the discharging component 30. The second abutment component 60 includes a second abutment block 61 and a second lifting drive member 63. The second lifting drive member 63 drives the second abutment block 61 to move along the third direction so that the second abutment block 61 abuts against the plate 400 on the processing component 20. The first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other, and the third direction is along the vertical direction.

[0082] In this way, the second abutting assembly 60 can abut against the plate 400 on the processing assembly 20 to prevent the plate 400 on the processing assembly 20 from rushing into the discharge assembly 30 , thereby ensuring that the plate 400 is located at a desired position on the processing assembly 20 .

[0083] It can be understood that after the plate 400 is loaded into the processing component 20, the second lifting drive member 63 drives the second abutment block 61 to rise along the third direction, and the second abutment block 61 abuts against the plate 400, which not only prevents the plate 400 from rushing into the discharge component 30, but also can position the plate 400, and assist the plate 400 in being positioned at the required position for processing.

[0084] For further information, see Figure 6 The second abutment assembly 60 further includes a second displacement driving member 65, which is transmission-connected to the second abutment block 61, and the second displacement driving member 65 drives the second abutment block 61 to move along the first direction.

[0085] In this way, when abutting against the plate 400 on the processing component 20, the second displacement driving member 65 drives the second abutment block 61 to move along the first direction close to the processing component 20, and the second lifting driving member 63 drives the second abutment block 61 to rise along the third direction, so as to realize the abutment and alignment of the plate 400 on the processing component 20. After the alignment of the plate 400 is completed, the second displacement driving member 65 drives the second abutment block 61 to move along the first direction away from the processing component 20, and the second lifting driving member 63 drives the second abutment block 61 to descend along the third direction, so that the second abutment block 61 can avoid the processing device 200, thereby preventing the processing device 200 from colliding with the second abutment block 61 and affecting the processing quality.

[0086] It can be understood that in a certain embodiment, the automatic feeding and unloading device 100 includes a first abutment component 40 and a second abutment component 60, the first abutment component 40 includes a first abutment block 41, a first displacement driving member 45 and a first lifting driving member 43, and the second abutment component 60 includes a second abutment block 61, a second displacement driving member 65 and a second lifting driving member 63. After the plate 400 is loaded onto the processing component 20, the two processing alignment members 25 of the processing component 20 can move in a direction close to each other to move the plate 400 in the second direction. The first displacement driving member 45 drives the first abutment block 41 to approach the processing component 20 along the first direction, and the second displacement driving member 65 drives the second abutment block 61 to approach the processing component 20 along the first direction, that is, the first abutment block 41 and the second abutment block 61 can move in the direction of approaching each other to realize the alignment of the plate 400 in the first direction. After the alignment of the plate 400 along the first direction and the second direction is completed, the first abutment block 41, the second abutment block 61 and the two processing alignment members 25 are retracted to avoid the processing device 200 to ensure the processing quality.

[0087] It is understandable that the second displacement drive member 65 may include a drive member such as a motor and a cylinder, and the second lifting drive member 63 may also include a drive member such as a motor and a cylinder, and this application does not make specific restrictions. It is understandable that the second abutment assembly 60 may also include a slide rail, a roller and other structures to guide the movement of the second abutment block 61 along the third direction or the first direction, and this application will not go into details one by one.

[0088] See also Figure 8 and Fig. 9In the embodiment of the present invention, the automatic feeding and unloading device 100 further includes a second sensing member 70 , which is disposed on the processing assembly 20 to detect whether a plate 400 passes through the processing assembly 20 , and the second sensing member 70 is communicatively connected with the second abutting assembly 60 .

[0089] In this way, when the second sensing member 70 senses the plate 400 passing by, the second lifting drive member 63 of the second abutment assembly 60 can be lifted up in time, and the second displacement drive member 65 can also drive the second abutment block 61 to move along the first direction close to the processing assembly 20 in time, further improving the automation of the automatic feeding and unloading device 100, and automatically adapting to the alignment requirements of different loading intervals.

[0090] It can be understood that there are many ways to communicate and connect the second sensing member 70 with the second abutment component 60. The second sensing member 70 and the second abutment component 60 can be electrically connected, or the second sensing member 70 and the second abutment component 60 can be wirelessly connected via Bluetooth, cloud, etc. The second abutment component 60 can respond according to the sensing result of the second sensing member 70, and this application does not make any specific restrictions.

[0091] It is worth mentioning that please refer to Figure 5 In the embodiment of the present invention, the automatic feeding and discharging device 100 further includes a third sensing element 96 , and the third sensing element 96 is used to detect whether a plate 400 passes through the discharging assembly 30 .

[0092] In this way, the third sensing element 96 can detect whether a plate 400 passes through the discharging assembly 30 , thereby providing a basis for subsequent discharging of the plate 400 and improving the automation level of the automatic feeding and discharging device 100 .

[0093] See also Figure 1 and Fig.11 In the embodiment of the present invention, the automatic feeding and unloading device 100 also includes a third abutment component 80, which is arranged at one end of the discharging component 30 away from the processing component 20. The third abutment component 80 includes a third abutment block 81 and a third in-position sensor (not shown). The third abutment block 81 is used to abut the plate 400 on the discharging component 30, and the third in-position sensor is used to detect whether the plate 400 abuts against the third abutment block 81.

[0094] In this way, the third abutment block 81 can abut against the plate 400 on the discharging assembly 30 to ensure that the plate 400 is located at the required discharging position, making it convenient for the related discharging machine to pick up the processed plate 400 at the required discharging position. In addition, the third in-place sensor can sense whether the plate 400 is abutting against the third abutment block 81, that is, the third in-place sensor can sense whether the plate 400 has moved into place, thereby improving the automation of the automatic feeding and discharging device 100 and providing a basis for timely discovering that the material is not in place.

[0095] It is understandable that the third in-position sensing member may include a rangefinder, a pressure sensor, etc. In a certain embodiment, the third in-position sensing member includes a pressure sensor, the plate 400 abuts against the third abutting block 81, and the pressure sensor is arranged on the third abutting block 81. The pressure sensor detects the pressure applied by the plate 400, and realizes the detection of the abutting state between the plate 400 and the third abutting block 81. In another embodiment, the third in-position sensing member includes a zero-volt sensor, the third abutting block 81 is grounded to maintain zero volts, the plate 400 is made of metal, and the plate 400 has a certain voltage before abutting against the third abutting block 81. When the plate 400 abuts against the third abutting block 81, the plate 400 is connected to the third abutting block 81, and the voltage becomes zero volts. The zero-volt sensor is used to detect the voltage of the plate 400. In this way, when the zero-volt sensor detects that the voltage of the plate 400 reaches zero volts, it can be judged that the plate 400 abuts against the third abutting block 81. Specifically, the zero-volt sensor can directly contact the plate 400 to detect the voltage of the plate 400, and the zero-volt sensor can also contact structures such as the discharge conveyor 31 to indirectly detect the voltage of the plate 400 through the voltage of the structure in contact with the plate 400. This application does not make specific restrictions.

[0096] For further information, see Figure 1 The discharge assembly 30 further includes two discharge alignment members 33, which are sequentially arranged at intervals on both sides of the discharge conveying member 31 along the second direction, and the two discharge alignment members 33 can move in a direction approaching or moving away from each other.

[0097] In this way, the two discharge alignment members 33 can align the plate 400 located on the discharge conveyor 31 along the second direction, further ensuring that the plate 400 is automatically located at the required discharge position, making it convenient for the next discharge machine to pick up the plate 400.

[0098] There are many structures in which the two discharging alignment members 33 can move in the direction of approaching or moving away from each other. The discharging alignment member 33 may include a discharging alignment block, a guide rail and a cylinder, the discharging alignment block is slidably connected to the guide rail, and the cylinder drives the discharging alignment block to move along the guide rail; or the discharging alignment member 33 may include a discharging alignment block, a motor and a screw rod, the discharging alignment block is arranged on the screw rod, and the motor drives the screw rod to rotate to drive the discharging alignment block to move. It can be understood that the two discharging alignment members 33 can move in the direction of moving away from or approaching each other, which can not only position the plate 400 to the desired position by pushing the plate 400, but also can conveniently adapt to the positioning requirements of plates 400 of different sizes. Specifically, when positioning plates 400 of different sizes, the moving strokes of the two discharge positioning members 33 can be set to meet the positioning requirements of plates 400 of different sizes. Pressure sensors, distance detectors, etc. can also be set to detect the contact between the discharge positioning members 33 and the plates 400 to automatically adjust the moving distance to meet the positioning requirements of plates 400 of different sizes. This application does not impose any specific restrictions.

[0099] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In the embodiment of the present invention, the processing carrier 21 includes a plurality of electromagnets 211 , and the plurality of electromagnets 211 are used for magnetically attracting the limiting plate 400 .

[0100] In this way, the processing support member 21 can better limit the plate 400, ensure the stability of the position of the plate 400 during the processing, and ensure the processing effect.

[0101] Specifically, after the two processing positioning parts 25, the first abutment block 41 and the second abutment block 61 position the plate 400, the electromagnet 211 is energized to generate magnetic force, and the plate 400 is magnetically adsorbed to ensure the stability of the plate 400 during the processing. After the processing is completed, the electromagnet 211 is powered off to release the magnetic force, and the plate 400 leaves the processing component 20 under the action of the processing conveyor 23 and the discharge conveyor 31.

[0102] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Fig.10 In the embodiment of the present invention, the automatic feeding and unloading device 100 also includes a transition component 90, which is arranged at one end of the feeding component 10 close to the processing component 20. The transition component 90 includes a transition bearing member 91 and a transition driving member 93. The transition bearing member 91 is used to carry the plate 400 located between the feeding component 10 and the processing component 20. The transition driving member 93 is transmission-connected to the transition bearing member 91, and the transition driving member 93 drives the transition bearing member 91 to move along the first direction.

[0103] In this way, when the plate 400 moves from the feeding component 10 to the processing component 20, the transition driving component 93 drives the transition supporting component 91 to move along the first direction toward the processing component 20, so that the transition supporting component 91 can fill the gap between the feeding component 10 and the processing component 20, thereby preventing the gap from affecting the loading of the plate 400 to the processing component 20. When the plate 400 is processed on the processing component 20, the transition driving component 93 drives the transition supporting component 91 to move along the first direction toward the direction away from the processing component 20, making way for the processing device 200, thereby avoiding damage to the transition supporting component 91 and the processing device 200.

[0104] It can be understood that the transition drive member 93 may include structures such as a motor and a cylinder, and the transition assembly 90 may also include guide structures such as guide rails and rollers, and the present application does not impose specific limitations.

[0105] See also Fig.11 The embodiment of the present invention further provides an automatic loading and unloading processing equipment 1000, which includes a processing device 200 and an automatic loading and unloading device 100. The processing device 200 is arranged above the processing component 20. The specific structure of the automatic loading and unloading device 100 refers to the above embodiment. Since the automatic loading and unloading processing equipment 1000 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments.

[0106] In the embodiment of the present invention, the two feed alignment members 13 align the plate 400, the feed conveyor member 11 transports the aligned plate 400 to the processing component 20, the processing conveyor member 23 continues to transport the plate 400 to the processing position, and the two processing alignment members 25 move in directions approaching each other. After positioning the plate 400, the two processing alignment members 25 move in directions away from each other to make way for the processing device 200 for processing. After the plate 400 carrier carries the plate 400 for processing, the processing conveyor member 23 transports the processed plate 400 to the discharging component 30, and the discharging conveyor member 31 continues to transport the plate 400 to realize the unloading of the processed plate 400, thereby realizing the steps of automatically loading the positioned plate 400 and automatically unloading the processed plate 400, thereby improving the degree of automation and improving the processing efficiency.

[0107] Specifically, in a certain embodiment, the processing device 200 is a laser cutting device, and the laser cutting device performs cutting processing on the plate 400 located on the processing component 20 .

[0108] It is understood that in a certain embodiment, please refer to Fig.11The automatic feeding and unloading processing equipment 1000 may further include an outer cover 300, which is disposed around the processing assembly 20 and the processing device 200. In this way, the outer cover 300 can protect the processing device 200 and the plate 400, prevent external dust and debris from affecting the processing process, and also prevent processing debris from splashing during the processing.
