For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections. A person of ordinary skill in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention in specific circumstances. In the description of the embodiments, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0025] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the quantity of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0026] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0027] In some embodiments of the present application, a material transfer device is proposed, including a base 100 , a material transfer assembly, and a material transfer drive unit 600 , wherein the material transfer assembly includes a material transfer unit 300 and a material transfer positioning unit 500 .

[0028] The material transfer drive unit 600 drives the material transfer unit 300 and the material transfer positioning unit 500 to move in the feeding area 130 through the action conversion, so that the first material storage position 311 and the second material storage position 312 on the material transfer unit 300 can be sequentially located at the receiving position corresponding to the receiving port position of the feeding device to receive the material, so as to realize the sequential material removal of the first material storage position 311 and the second material storage position 312 on the material transfer unit 300.

[0029] After receiving the materials, the material transfer and positioning unit 500 can be used to position the materials in the first material storage position 311 and the second material storage position 312 during feeding.

[0030] When the feeding device is set close to the feeding area 130, the material transfer device with a long moving distance cannot be installed and used in a small space at a close distance due to its long length. The material transfer device in this embodiment can meet the installation and use requirements of a small space at a close distance.

[0031] The base 100 of the material transfer device is used to form the foundation of the entire material transfer device, thereby achieving a supporting and fixing effect on the entire material transfer device.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present application, the base 100 includes: a support member 120 arranged horizontally, and the support member 120 can adopt a supporting beam structure.

[0033] A first support seat and a second support seat are provided at both ends of the support member 120 . The first support seat and the second support seat can be respectively connected to both ends of the support member 120 to support the support member 120 .

[0034] A feeding area 130 is provided on one side of the base 100. The locking device can move to the feeding area 130 to pick up the material and then lock the material. The material transfer device in this embodiment can be used to dock with the locking device with two locking mechanisms in the prior art.

[0035] In some embodiments of the application, the material transfer component includes: Transfer material base 200; The material transfer unit 300 is connected to the material transfer base 200 in a liftable manner. A first material storage position 311 and a second material storage position 312 are provided on the material transfer unit 300 for receiving materials at the material receiving port of the feeding device.

[0036] The material transfer unit 300 can be raised and lowered. When docking with the locking adsorption mechanism, it can be raised and lowered relative to the material transfer base 200 to drive the first storage position 311 and the second storage position 312 storing materials above it to rise and fall to reach the feeding position, so that it can be conveniently docked with the locking adsorption mechanism.

[0037] The material transfer positioning unit 500 is connected to the material transfer base 200 in a liftable manner, and is used to extend into the first material storage position 311 and the second material storage position 312 to position the material.

[0038] The material transfer and positioning unit 500 is mainly used to extend from the first material storage position 311 and the second material storage position 312 and extend into the materials stored in the first material storage position 311 and the second material storage position 312 to achieve the purpose of positioning the materials.

[0039] The material transfer positioning unit 500 is configured to be connected to the material transfer base 200 in a liftable manner and can be raised when the material is transferred to the feeding position.

[0040] When the material transfer device receives the material, the material transfer and positioning unit 500 does not move. When the material transfer component is at the feeding position to feed the material, the material positioning unit can be raised to position the pre-grabbed material.

[0041] In some embodiments, the material for transfer is a bridge pile.

[0042] The material transfer drive unit 600 is retractable and connected to the material transfer base 200. Through the retractable action, it drives the first material storage position 311 and the second material storage position 312 to move in the feeding area 130 to move to the material receiving port to receive the material.

[0043] The material transfer drive unit 600 is driven in a telescopic manner, has a short driving distance, and has a small and compact overall structure. Therefore, it can drive the first material storage position 311 and the second material storage position 312 on the material transfer unit 300 connected to the material transfer base 200 to move directly to the feeding area 130 when receiving materials, thereby realizing the demand for transporting materials over a short distance and in a small space, and can adapt to the short-distance rapid transfer of materials when the feeding device and the locking device are close to each other; In the material transfer device of this embodiment, the material transfer drive unit 600 is a telescopic drive structure. When in use, the position of the first material storage position 311 and the second material storage position 312 is switched by extending and retracting in the feeding position area, thereby achieving rapid switching between the two material storage positions and a fast material transport rate. The material transfer drive unit 600 is extended to drive the first material storage position 311 and the second material storage position 312 on the material transfer component 310 to move, so that the first material storage position 311 and the second material storage position 312 can be moved to the material receiving port of the feeding device to receive the materials, thereby realizing the reception and transfer of two materials at one time, thereby improving the efficiency of material transportation; The material transfer unit 300 can be connected to the material transfer base 200 in a lifting manner, and the material transfer positioning unit 500 can be connected to the material transfer base 200 in a lifting manner. When receiving materials, the material transfer unit can be positioned to the material receiving position by the positioning unit to receive the materials; When feeding, the material can be positioned by extending the material transfer and positioning unit 500 to ensure the positioning accuracy of the material and avoid the problem of the material moving when the locking adsorption mechanism grabs the material, causing the material to not be grabbed in place. The material transfer unit 300 is also raised to lift the material to the feeding position for feeding, so as to achieve seamless docking and cooperation with the feeding device and the locking adsorption mechanism.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, the material transfer drive unit 600 includes: a drive body 610; The telescopic element 620 is connected to the driving body 610 , and the telescopic element 620 is connected to the material transfer base 200 .

[0045] The driving body 610 is a cylinder body, and the telescopic element 620 is connected to the cylinder rod on the cylinder body. The cylinder rod is connected to the material transfer base 200. When the cylinder rod is telescoped, it can drive the material transfer base 200 to telescope, and then drive the material transfer unit 300 connected to the material transfer base 200 to telescope.

[0046] The first material storage level 311 is farther from the driving body 610 than the second material storage level 312 .

[0047] The telescopic element 620 has an extended state and a retracted state.

[0048] When the telescopic element 620 is in a retracted state, the first material storage position 311 corresponds to the material receiving port; when the telescopic element 620 is in an extended state, the second material storage position 312 corresponds to the material receiving port. The first material port of the first material storage position 311 is limited by the stopper, and the second material storage position 312 is limited by the material at the discharge port of the feeding device. At this time, the locking mechanism can be moved to grab the material.

[0049] By switching the extension and contraction of the telescopic element 620, the first material storage position 311 and the second material storage position 312 can be docked with the material receiving port position. The position conversion of the first material storage position 311 and the second material storage position 312 can be quickly achieved only through the telescopic action of the telescopic element 620, thereby achieving the effect of quickly changing the material storage position.

When the second driving component 530 moves up and down, it can drive the material transfer positioning seat 510 connected thereto to move up and down, thereby achieving the effect of driving the material transfer positioning piece 520 on the material transfer positioning seat 510 to move up and down.

[0064] When the material transfer positioning member 520 moves up and down, it can extend into the first material storage position 311 and the second material storage position 312 to position the bridge pile inside them.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, the transfer substrate 200 includes: A first base portion 210 having a first side surface and a second side surface facing away from the first side surface; and a second base portion 220 , wherein the second base portion 220 is fixedly connected to the first base portion 210 ; The first driving component 320 is installed on the first side surface; The second driving component 530 is mounted on the second side surface.

[0074] When it is necessary to position the bridge pile in the first material storage position 311 and the second material storage position 312, the second driving component 530 can be used to drive the material transfer positioning seat 510 to move upward, thereby driving the material transfer positioning member 520 assembled on the material transfer positioning seat 510 to move upward and extend from the first material storage position 311 and the second material storage position 312 to position the bridge pile.

[0087] The blocking member 110 is a blocking block or a blocking bar, which is fixed on the support member 120 of the base 100 and is used to cooperate with the sensing unit 340 to block and limit the material in the first material storage position 311 during the movement process after the material is received in the first material storage position 311 and after moving into position.

[0088] If the blocking member is not provided, the material that has been received may escape from the first material opening during the movement within the first material storage position, resulting in poor material transportation effect.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present application, the sensing unit 340 includes: Induction mounting base 341; And a sensing component, the sensing component includes two detection elements 342, which are respectively installed in the sensing mounting seat 341 to detect whether there is material in the first storage position 311 and the second storage position 312.

[0090] The detection element 342 is a proximity switch, which corresponds to the positions of the first material storage level 311 and the second material storage level 312 respectively. When there is material in the first material storage level 311 and the second material storage level 312, it can be detected by the proximity switch.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present application, the following are included: a positioning unit, which is assembled on the material transfer base 200 and extends between the material transfer component 310 and the material transfer positioning seat 510; The material transfer component 310 has a material receiving position and a material feeding position; When the material transfer component 310 is at the material receiving position, it is positioned by the positioning unit; When the material transfer component 310 is in the feeding position, the material transfer component 310 is lifted and positioned by the first driving component 320 .

[0092] The positioning unit includes a positioning block 410, which extends to the lower position of the material transfer component 310 and is supported on the bottom of the material transfer component 310 to limit the material transfer component 310 so that it can be slightly lower than the material receiving position of the feeding device when docking with the feeding device.

[0093] When feeding, the material transfer component 310 can be lifted up by the first driving component 320 so that it can be out of the height of the sensing unit 340 and the blocking component 110, and the limit of the sensing unit 340 and the blocking component 110 can be released, so that the locking adsorption mechanism can grab the material from the first material port 315 and the second material port 316 on both sides.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, a material transfer method based on the material transfer device described in the above technical solution is proposed, comprising the following steps: The material transfer drive unit 600 drives the telescopic element 620 to be in a contracted state, driving the first material storage position 311 to receive materials from the receiving port of the feeding device; After the first material storage position 311 receives the material, the material transfer drive unit 600 is activated, driving the telescopic element 620 to switch from the retracted state to the extended state, and at the same time driving the second material storage position 312 on the material transfer unit 300 to move to the material receiving port to receive the material; After the material is received, the material transfer and positioning unit 500 moves upward and extends into the first material storage position 311 and the second material storage position 312 to position the received material. The material transfer unit 300 rises, driving the material to rise to the feeding position for feeding.

[0095] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for a person skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions claimed to be protected by the present invention.
