[0036] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present application more apparent and understandable, the following will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the connotation of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0037] The materials in this embodiment include, but are not limited to, plate materials, sheet materials, film materials, etc. In addition, the materials of the materials include, but are not limited to, non-metallic materials such as plastics, rubbers, ceramics, woods, etc., or various metallic materials such as iron, copper, aluminum, stainless steel, etc., and can be specifically adjusted and set according to actual needs. Additionally, the materials in this embodiment include, but are not limited to, light and thin materials, heavy materials, or those in between. Among them, in the related art, light and thin materials are prone to misalignment during stacking, resulting in the defect of uneven stacking. Therefore, the material collection, sorting, and conveying device in this embodiment will have a more obvious effect on the collection and sorting of light and thin materials, but is not limited to the stacking, collection, and sorting of light and thin materials. To make this embodiment easier to understand, in this embodiment, the material is specifically taken as a plate material as an example, such as Figure 1 or Figure 2 as shown, but not limited thereto.

[0038] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 、 Figure 7 , a material collection, sorting, and conveying device provided in an embodiment of the present application is used to process the material 50 on the carrier 20. The material collection, sorting, and conveying device includes: a frame 10, a sorting mechanism 30, and a conveying mechanism 40. The frame 10 forms a collection space 101 for collecting the material 50. The carrier 20 is located at the bottom of the collection space 101 and is used to support the material 50. The sorting mechanism 30 is arranged on the frame 10 and is used to reciprocally pat the material 50 on the carrier 20 to make the material 50 on the carrier 20 stacked neatly. The conveying mechanism 40 horizontally penetrates through the bottom of the frame 10, is located below the carrier 20, and is used to drive the carrier 20 and the material 50 stacked thereon to move to the external area of the collection space 101.

[0039] It should be noted that the "horizontal" in this embodiment is not strictly "horizontal" in the mathematical sense, as long as it appears "horizontal" to the naked eye.

[0040] For the above-mentioned material collection, sorting and conveying device, when collecting the material 50, the material 50 is gradually placed into the collection space 101 and supported by the supporting member 20 located at the bottom of the collection space 101, so that the material 50 is stacked on the supporting member 20. By the sorting mechanism 30 reciprocally patting the material 50 stacked on the supporting member 20, the neatness of the stacked material 50 can be improved, preventing the material 50 from being misaligned and stacked. There is no need for manual sorting by workers, and the degree of automation is relatively high, which can improve the collection efficiency of the material 50. In addition, the supporting member 20 and the material 50 stacked thereon are transported to the external area of the collection space 101 by the conveying mechanism 40, so as to enter the next working station. In addition, since the conveying mechanism 40 is arranged through the bottom of the frame 10, the floor area in the workshop can be reduced, and the utilization rate of the floor area in the workshop can be improved. Even in a workshop with a small space, a complete set of equipment can be placed.

[0041] In some embodiments, the conveyor includes, but is not limited to, a chain conveyor, a roller conveyor or a belt conveyor, and can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs, and will not be limited herein.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 , in some embodiments, the material collection, sorting and conveying device further includes a lifting mechanism 80 and a grasping and releasing mechanism 90. The lifting mechanism 80 is connected to the frame 10, the lifting mechanism 80 is connected to the grasping and releasing mechanism 90, the grasping and releasing mechanism 90 is used to grasp or release the supporting member 20, and the lifting mechanism 80 drives the grasping and releasing mechanism 90 to move up and down. In this way, on the one hand, under the synergistic action of the lifting mechanism 80 and the grasping and releasing mechanism 90, the supporting member 20 can be driven to rise to a certain height, so as to be relatively close to the unloading mechanism. This can improve the stacking neatness of the material 50 on the supporting member 20, and after the material 50 is stacked, the supporting member 20 and the material 50 stacked thereon are lowered onto the conveying mechanism 40 and output outward by the conveying mechanism 40. On the other hand, when there are more than one supporting member 20 on the conveying mechanism 40 and a plurality of them are stacked, the topmost supporting member 20 can be lifted to separate it from the other supporting members 20. Under the drive of the conveying mechanism 40, the other supporting members 20 in the unloaded state can be moved to the external area of the collection space 101 for recycling or for the next material 50 supporting and conveying work.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 , specifically, the material collection, sorting and conveying method includes the following steps:

[0044] Step S110: Drive the grasping and releasing mechanism 90 to move up and down through the lifting mechanism 80 to a position corresponding to the topmost supporting member 20.

[0045] Step S120: Use the grasping and releasing mechanism 90 to grasp the topmost supporting member 20, and then the lifting mechanism 80 drives the grasping and releasing mechanism 90 to drive the grasped supporting member 20 to rise a preset distance to separate it from the other supporting members 20 below.

[0046] Step S130: Drive the conveying mechanism 40 to move, and move the other supporting members 20 not grasped by the grasping and releasing mechanism 90 out of the area outside the frame 10.

[0047] In this way, the other supporting members 20 not grasped by the grasping and releasing mechanism 90 are in an unloaded state. After being conveyed to an area outside the collection space 101 by the conveying mechanism 40, they can be recycled or used for the next material 50 conveying work.

[0048] Step S140: The topmost supporting member 20 performs the stacking and sorting work of the material 50.

[0049] In step S140, how to stack the material 50 onto the supporting member 20 and how to sort the material 50 on the supporting member 20 are introduced in detail later and will not be elaborated here.

[0050] Step S150: When the stacking, sorting and collection of the material 50 on the supporting member 20 are completed, under the drive of the lifting mechanism 80, the supporting member 20 together with the stacked material 50 above it descends onto the conveying mechanism 40.

[0051] Step S160: Make the grasping and releasing mechanism 90 release the supporting member 20, and then under the drive of the conveying mechanism 40, move the supporting member 20 and the stacked materials 50 above it out of the external area of the collection space 101.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 14 and Figure 15 In some embodiments, the specific form of the lifting mechanism 80 includes but is not limited to various structural forms such as a screw motor, a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a motor cam mechanism, etc. It can be specifically adjusted and set flexibly according to actual needs as long as it can meet the requirement of lifting and adjusting the height of the grasping and releasing mechanism 90. In addition, the specific structural form of the grasping and releasing mechanism 90 can also be adjusted and set flexibly into various forms according to actual needs, including but not limited to being set as a manipulator, a suction cup, a magnetic attraction mechanism, a lifting component, etc. as long as it can meet the requirement of synchronously driving the supporting member 20 to move up and down under the lifting of the lifting mechanism 80 during grasping.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 、Figure 4 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 , in a specific embodiment, the grasping and releasing mechanism 90 includes a first driving mechanism 91 and a first supporting member 92 connected to the first driving mechanism 91. The first driving mechanism 91 is configured to drive the first supporting member 92 to move below the supporting member 20 to support the supporting member 20 located above it, that is, to grasp the supporting member 20; and is also configured to drive the first supporting member 92 to move away from below the supporting member 20 and no longer support the supporting member 20, that is, to release the supporting member 20. Wherein, the number of the grasping and releasing mechanisms 90 is not limited. For example, it is set to two and are respectively located on opposite sides of the frame 10. Thus, when it is necessary to grasp the supporting member 20, the two grasping and releasing mechanisms 90 located on opposite sides of the frame 10 act synchronously, and both cause the first supporting member 92 to move below the supporting member 20, so as to stably support the supporting member 20; conversely, when it is necessary to release the supporting member 20, the two grasping and releasing mechanisms 90 act synchronously, and both cause the first supporting member 92 to move away from below the supporting member 20 to release the supporting member 20.

[0054] To improve the running stability of the first supporting member 92, the grasping and releasing mechanism 90 further includes a first guiding assembly 93. The first supporting member 92 is connected to the lifting mechanism 80 through the first guiding assembly 93, specifically connected to the lifting seat 84 of the lifting mechanism 80. In this way, the first supporting member 92 will move under the guiding action of the first guiding assembly 93, and the stability can be improved. Among them, the first guiding assembly 93 can be flexibly adjusted and set into various guiding structures according to actual needs, which is not limited herein. In this embodiment, it is specifically set as a linear bearing.

[0055] In addition, the lifting mechanism 80 can be set to one or two. In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 80 is set to one and is respectively connected to the two grasping and releasing mechanisms 90, so as to synchronously lift and adjust the height positions of the two grasping and releasing mechanisms 90, make the heights of the two grasping and releasing mechanisms 90 coordinated, better realize grasping or releasing the supporting member 20, and the structure is relatively simplified, which can reduce the cost.

[0056] Among them, the lifting mechanism 80 includes a first driving mechanism 81, a first rotating shaft 82 connected to the first driving mechanism 81, two swing members 83 respectively connected to opposite ends of the first rotating shaft 82, two lifting seats 84 correspondingly abutted and connected to the two swing members 83, and two first fixing frames 85 respectively installed on opposite sides of the frame 10. The two lifting seats 84 are respectively slidably arranged on the two first fixing frames 85. Specifically, the first driving mechanism 81 includes but is not limited to a motor. When the first driving mechanism 81 drives the first rotating shaft 82 to rotate, the first rotating shaft 82 synchronously drives the two swing members 83 to swing. When the two swing members 83 swing, they can respectively drive the corresponding two lifting seats 84 to lift. When the lifting seats 84 move up and down, they can drive the corresponding grasping and releasing mechanism 90 to move up and down, so as to adjust the height position of the grasping and releasing mechanism 90.

[0057] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 80 further includes at least one first bearing seat 86 arranged on the frame 10. The first rotating shaft 82 is rotatably connected to the first bearing seat 86. In addition, at least one second guiding component 87 is arranged on the first fixing frame 85, and the lifting seat 84 is connected to the second guiding component 87. Specifically, the second guiding component 87 is, for example, a linear bearing or other guiding structures that can guide the lifting of the lifting seat 84.

[0058] In some embodiments, the frame 10 includes two brackets 11 arranged at intervals relatively and a chassis 12 respectively connected to the two brackets 11. The collection space 101 is the interval area between the two brackets 11. The two first fixing frames 85 are correspondingly connected to the two brackets 11, and the first driving mechanism 81 is arranged on the chassis 12. The conveying mechanism 40 is arranged on the chassis 12, and the two brackets 11 are respectively located on opposite sides of the conveying mechanism 40.

[0059] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , in one embodiment, the sorting mechanism 30 includes a first sorting mechanism 31 and a second sorting mechanism 32. The first sorting mechanism 31 is arranged on the frame 10 and is used to reciprocally pat the material 50 located on the supporting member 20 along a first direction. The second sorting mechanism 32 is arranged on the frame 10 and is used to reciprocally pat the material 50 located on the supporting member 20 along a second direction, and the second direction is arranged crosswise with the first direction. Thus, by reciprocally patting the material 50 stacked on the supporting member 20 along the first direction through the first sorting mechanism 31, and reciprocally patting the material 50 stacked on the supporting member 20 along the second direction through the second sorting mechanism 32, that is, reciprocally patting the material 50 stacked on the supporting member 20 from two crosswise arranged directions, the neatness of the stacked material 50 can be improved, preventing the material 50 from being misaligned and stacked. Without manual sorting by staff, the automation degree is relatively high, and the collection efficiency of the material 50 can be improved.

[0060] Among them, the specific shape of the plate can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs, including but not limited to various regular shapes such as rectangular, circular, oval, and other irregular shapes. The contour shape of the collection space 101 is designed accordingly according to the shape of the plate, as long as it can hold and accommodate the plate.

[0061] It should be noted that the first direction and the second direction can each be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs. As an example, the first direction is set along the left and right, and the second direction is set along the front and back. In this way, during the process of collecting the material 50, especially when the material 50 is a rectangular plate, the material 50 stacked on the support member 20 is reciprocally slapped both in the left-right direction and in the front-back direction, thereby improving the neatness of the material 50.

[0062] In the related art, during the process that the material 50 falls from the top of the collection space 101 into the collection space 101 after being unloaded by the unloading mechanism, especially for thin and light materials 50, drift is likely to occur, which may lead to stacking misalignment and reduced neatness.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 . In one embodiment, the material collection, sorting and conveying device further includes a temporary storage mechanism 60 connected to the frame 10. The temporary storage mechanism 60 is located above the support member 20. The temporary storage mechanism 60 is provided with a temporary storage position and a feeding position. When the temporary storage mechanism 60 is in the temporary storage position, that is, the position shown in Figure 2 , the temporary storage mechanism 60 is used to temporarily store and stack the material 50; when the temporary storage mechanism 60 is in the feeding position, the material 50 temporarily stored and stacked on the temporary storage mechanism 60 falls downward onto the support member 20. In this way, before stacking the material 50 onto the support member 20, the temporary storage mechanism 60 can be moved to the temporary storage position to temporarily store the material 50, so that the number of the material 50 temporarily stored on the temporary storage mechanism 60 reaches a preset range, such as 5-10. Then, the temporary storage mechanism 60 is moved to the feeding position, so that the multiple materials 50 temporarily stored and stacked on the temporary storage mechanism 60 fall downward onto the support member 20. The weight of the multiple materials 50 stacked together is greater than the weight of a single material 50, and drift is not likely to occur during the process of falling downward onto the support member 20, and the position accuracy of falling onto the support member 20 is improved, which is beneficial to improving the stacking neatness and the collection efficiency of the material 50.

[0064] In addition, the temporary storage mechanism 60 is specifically arranged at the top of the frame 10, for example. In this way, the temporary storage mechanism 60 is close to the unloading mechanism, so that the offset of the multiple materials 50 unloaded by the unloading mechanism is relatively small, and they can be stacked neatly on the temporary storage mechanism 60, thereby improving the stacking neatness of the materials 50 and the collection efficiency of the materials 50.

[0065] In addition, by discharging the temporarily stacked materials 50 to the supporting member 20 in batches through the temporary storage mechanism 60, it is possible to stack, for example, 100 - 200 materials 50 on the supporting member 20. At the same time, under the reciprocating beating effects in two different directions of the first sorting mechanism 31 and the second sorting mechanism 32, the materials 50 can be stacked neatly on the supporting member 20, and the collection efficiency of the materials 50 is relatively high.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 , in some embodiments, the temporary storage mechanism 60 can be flexibly adjusted and set into various structural forms according to actual needs, as long as it can be switched between the temporary storage position and the discharging position to meet the functions of temporarily stacking the materials 50 and discharging. As an example, the temporary storage mechanism 60 is set as at least one flipping component 61 that can move flip - ably between the temporary storage position and the discharging position. When the flipping component 61 flips to the temporary storage position, it can achieve the temporary storage and stacking of the materials 50. When the flipping component 61 flips to the discharging position, the temporarily stacked materials 50 above it will fall onto the supporting member 20 under their own gravity. As an example, the temporary storage mechanism 60 is, for example, set as at least one moving component that can move movably between the temporary storage position and the discharging position. The moving component realizes the switching between the temporary storage position and the discharging position by, for example, moving horizontally left - right or moving forward - backward. As an example, the temporary storage mechanism 60 is, for example, set as a telescopic mechanism. When the temporary storage mechanism 60 extends, it moves to the temporary storage position. Conversely, when the temporary storage mechanism 60 contracts, it moves to the discharging position.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 , in a specific embodiment, the temporary storage mechanism 60 includes two flipping components 61. The two flipping components 61 are respectively located on opposite sides of the frame 10. In this way, when the two flipping components 61 each flip downward from the temporary storage position to the discharging position, the materials 50 move downward along the guiding inclined surfaces of the flipping components 61 and fall onto the supporting member 20, with good running stability, which is beneficial to improving the neatness of the materials 50.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 8 andFigure 9 , in one embodiment, the flipping assembly 61 includes a second driving mechanism 611 disposed on the frame 10, a second rotating shaft 612 rotatably disposed on the frame 10, and at least one second support member 613 disposed on the second rotating shaft 612. A first connecting member 6111 is provided on the driving portion of the second driving mechanism 611, and a second connecting member 6121 is provided on the second rotating shaft 612. The first connecting member 6111 is rotatably connected to the second connecting member 6121. Thus, when the second driving mechanism 611 drives the first connecting member 6111 to move, the first connecting member 6111 drives the second connecting member 6121 to move, and the second connecting member 6121 correspondingly drives the second rotating shaft 612 to rotate. When the second rotating shaft 612 rotates, it can drive the second support member 613 to move to the temporary storage position or the blanking position. Specifically, when it is necessary to temporarily store the material 50, the second driving mechanism 611 drives the first connecting member 6111 to move, drives the second rotating shaft 612 to rotate by, for example, 90° through the second connecting member 6121, and the second rotating shaft 612 correspondingly drives the second support member 613 to swing upward to, for example, the horizontal position, that is, to move from the blanking position to the temporary storage position; when the number of materials 50 temporarily stored and stacked on the second support member 613 reaches the preset range and blanking is required, the second driving mechanism 611 drives the first connecting member 6111 to move in the reverse direction, drives the second rotating shaft 612 to rotate in the reverse direction by, for example, 90° through the second connecting member 6121, and the second rotating shaft 612 correspondingly drives the second support member 613 to swing downward to, for example, the vertical position, that is, to move from the temporary storage position to the blanking position.

[0069] Among them, the second support member 613 includes, but is not limited to, various forms of support structures such as a support plate, a support block, a support bar, and a support rod. In addition, the number of the second support members 613 is, for example, one, two, three, or other numbers. When multiple second support members 613 are provided, the respective second support members 613 are connected to the second rotating shaft 612 at intervals along the axial direction of the second rotating shaft 612.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , in some embodiments, the flipping assembly 61 further includes a second bearing seat 614 disposed on the frame 10. The second rotating shaft 612 is rotatably disposed on the second bearing seat 614. Specifically, there are two second bearing seats 614, and the opposite ends of the second rotating shaft 612 are respectively rotatably connected to the two second bearing seats 614.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6, in one embodiment, the material collection, sorting and conveying device further includes two third guiding components 70 respectively arranged on opposite sides of the top of the rack 10. The third guiding component 70 is provided with a first guiding portion 71, and the distance S between the two first guiding portions 71 decreases along the feeding direction f of the material 50. In this way, when the material 50 unloaded downward by the unloading mechanism falls onto the temporary storage mechanism 60, if the material 50 is offset or misaligned, it will move onto the temporary storage mechanism 60 under the guiding action of the first guiding portion 71 of the third guiding component 70, thereby playing a role in rectifying and correcting, improving the stacking neatness of the material 50 on the temporary storage mechanism 60, and further improving the neatness of the material 50 fed onto the supporting member 20.

[0072] It should be noted that the feeding direction f of the material 50 is also the gravity direction of the material 50, that is, the vertical direction, which is the direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane. In addition, the distance S between the two first guiding portions 71 also refers to the distance between two intersection points obtained by the reference plane intersecting with the two first guiding portions respectively with the horizontal plane as the reference plane. When the reference plane moves along the feeding direction f, the distance S decreases accordingly.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the first guiding portion 71 includes but is not limited to various guiding structures such as a guiding plate, a guiding rod 3141, or a guiding block, etc., and can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs. Among them, the extending direction of the first guiding portion 71 is arranged at an angle with the feeding direction f, and the angle includes but is not limited to various angle sizes such as 5°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 45°, 60°, etc.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in one embodiment, the third guiding component 70 further includes a first mounting portion 72 connected to the first guiding portion 71. The first mounting portion 72 is adjustably arranged on the rack 10 so that the distance S between the two first guiding portions 71 can be adjusted. In this way, according to the different sizes of the material 50, the distance S between the two first guiding portions 71 can be correspondingly adjusted by adjusting the mounting position of the first mounting portion 72 on the rack 10, so as to meet the precise alignment of materials 50 of various sizes.

[0075] In some embodiments, the first mounting portion 72 includes but is not limited to a screw, a pin, a rod, a column, a mounting bracket, or a telescopic member, etc., which is adjustably arranged on the rack 10, and can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6, in some embodiments, each third guiding component 70 is correspondingly arranged with each flipping component 61, and the correspondingly arranged third guiding component 70 and flipping component 61 are arranged on the same side of the frame 10. Specifically, one of the third guiding components 70 and one of the flipping components 61 are arranged on the left side of the frame 10, for example, and the other third guiding component 70 and the other flipping component 61 are arranged on the right side of the frame 10, for example.

[0077] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , in one embodiment, the first sorting mechanism 31 is provided with two and arranged on the opposite sides of the frame 10 along the first direction. And / or, the second sorting mechanism 32 is provided with at least two and arranged on the opposite sides of the frame 10 along the second direction. In this way, both of the two first sorting mechanisms 31 on the frame 10 reciprocally beat the materials 50 stacked on the supporting member 20 along the first direction, so that the materials 50 are neatly stacked along the first direction. In addition, at least two second sorting mechanisms 32 on the frame 10 reciprocally beat the materials 50 stacked on the supporting member 20 along the second direction, so that the materials 50 are neatly stacked along the second direction.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 , in one embodiment, the first sorting mechanism 31 includes a second fixing frame 311 connected to the frame 10, a second pushing mechanism 312 installed on the second fixing frame 311, a first beating member 313 connected to the second pushing mechanism 312, and at least one fourth guiding component 314. The first beating member 313 is connected to the second fixing frame 311 through the fourth guiding component 314. In this way, when the second pushing mechanism 312 operates, it can drive the first beating member 313 to reciprocally beat the materials 50. Under the guiding action of the fourth guiding component 314, the reciprocating movement of the first beating member 313 is stable and reliable.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 , in some embodiments, the fourth guiding component 314 includes, but is not limited to, a guiding rod 3141 and a guiding sleeve 3142 that is slidably engaged with the guiding rod 3141. One of the guiding rod 3141 and the guiding sleeve 3142 is connected to the first beating member 313, and the other is fixedly arranged on the second fixing frame 311.

[0080] In some embodiments, the number of the fourth guiding components 314 is not limited to one, two, three or other numbers.

[0081] It should be noted that the "second fixing bracket 311" can be "a part of the frame 10", that is, the "second fixing bracket 311" and the "other parts of the frame 10" are integrally formed; or it can be an independent component separable from the "other parts of the frame 10", that is, the "second fixing bracket 311" can be independently manufactured and then combined with the "other parts of the frame 10" to form a whole.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first flapping member 313 includes but is not limited to various structural forms such as a flapping plate, a flapping rod, a flapping block, a flapping frame, etc.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 , in one embodiment, the second sorting mechanism 32 includes a third driving mechanism 321 provided on the frame 10, a third rotating shaft 322 rotatably provided on the frame 10, and a second flapping member 323 provided on the third rotating shaft 322. A third connecting member 3211 is provided on the driving part of the third driving mechanism 321, and a fourth connecting member 3221 is provided on the third rotating shaft 322, and the third connecting member 3211 is rotatably connected to the fourth connecting member 3221. Thus, when the third driving mechanism 321 drives the third connecting member 3211 to move, the third connecting member 3211 drives the fourth connecting member 3221 to move, and the fourth connecting member 3221 correspondingly drives the third rotating shaft 322 to rotate. When the third rotating shaft 322 rotates, it can drive the second flapping member 323 to reciprocally flap the material 50 stacked on the supporting member 20. In addition, under the drive of the third driving mechanism 321, the second flapping member 323 can also be turned outwards to open, so that the material 50 stacked on the supporting member 20 can be taken out from the collection space 101 to the outside of the collection space 101.

[0084] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 , in one embodiment, the second sorting mechanism 32 further includes a third bearing seat 324 provided on the frame 10. The third rotating shaft 322 is rotatably arranged in the third bearing seat 324. Specifically, two third bearing seats 324 are provided, and the opposite ends of the second rotating shaft are respectively rotatably arranged in the two third bearing seats 324.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7, in one embodiment, the rack 10 includes two brackets 11 spaced relatively apart in a first direction and a base frame 12 respectively connected to the two brackets 11. The collection space 101 is the spaced area between the two brackets 11. In addition, specifically for example, there are four second sorting mechanisms 32. Two of the second sorting mechanisms 32 are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the front part of the rack 10, that is, correspondingly connected to the front parts of the two brackets 11; the other two second sorting mechanisms 32 are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the rear part of the rack 10, that is, correspondingly connected to the rear parts of the two brackets 11. Thus, when, for example, the two second sorting mechanisms 32 located at the front part of the rack 10 are opened, the materials 50 stacked on the carrier 20 can be taken out of the collection space 101 to the outside of the collection space 101. In addition, there is a conveying mechanism 40 below the carrier 20, and it is moved out of the collection space 101 under the drive of the conveying mechanism 40. The two brackets 11 and the two second sorting mechanisms 32 in the open state are respectively located on the opposite sides of the conveying mechanism 40, and neither will interfere with the moving-out carrier 20 or the materials 50 stacked on the carrier 20, so that the carrier 20 or the carrier 20 and the materials 50 above it can be smoothly moved out of the collection space 101 together.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the carrier 20 includes, but is not limited to, various supporting structures such as trays, pallet boards, carrying boxes, and carrying racks. The carrier 20 and the rack 10 are two independent components, that is, there is no mechanical connection between the two. In this way, under the drive of the conveying mechanism 40, the carrier 20 can be moved out of the collection space 101.

[0087] In addition, after the two second sorting mechanisms 32 at the front part of the rack 10 are opened, they can drive the carrier 20 out of the collection space 101, or drive the carrier 20 and the stacked materials 50 above it out of the collection space 101 together.

[0088] Specifically, when the height of the materials 50 stacked and collected on the carrier 20 reaches a preset height, for example, after 100 - 200 materials 50 are stacked, the two second sorting mechanisms 32 at the front part of the rack 10 are opened, and then the conveying mechanism 40 operates to drive the carrier 20 to move, so that the carrier 20 and the stacked materials 50 above it are moved out of the collection space 101 together and run to the next station.

[0089] In some embodiments, the second driving mechanism 611, the third driving mechanism 321, the first pushing mechanism 91, and the second pushing mechanism 312 are each independently arranged and include, but are not limited to, various forms of driving structures such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, motor lead screws, motor gears, and motor cams. Specifically, they can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs as long as they meet their respective driving actions.
