[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0014] 1. The waste collection box of the present invention is fixedly connected to the top of the conveying frame. One side of the waste collection box is connected to a channel. The side of the waste collection box closer to the conveying platform is provided with a cleaning component. Therefore, when the metal target material is conveyed to the bottom of the waste collection box, the cleaning component below the waste collection box brushes off the foreign objects on the metal target material. A third bevel gear is fixedly connected to the motor. The rotation of the third bevel gear causes the fourth bevel gear to rotate. The third linkage lever is rotated via the second connecting bar. The side of the third linkage lever farther from the second connecting bar is connected to the first connecting bar. The side of the first connecting bar farther from the third linkage lever is connected to the toothed ring. The toothed ring is engaged with a linkage rope. The linkage rope is connected to a linkage component. When the third linkage lever rotates, it drives the toothed ring to rotate, which in turn drives the linkage rope to rotate. A flexible block is provided at the part of the linkage component farther from the linkage rope. Two pairs of linkage rods equipped with toothed discs are screwed to the wall of the assembly cavity. The linkage rope is transmitted to the flexible block via the linkage component to move it and brush off the foreign objects on the metal target material.

[0015] 2. In this invention, the side of the channel furthest from the waste collection box connects to the storage cavity. Below the storage cavity is the inner cavity, where a sealing plug is slidably mounted. A first linkage rod is fixedly connected to the lower wall of the sealing plug. A fourth linkage block is fixedly connected to the first linkage rod at a position furthest from the sealing plug. The fourth linkage block contacts the eccentric disc. A third energy storage element is fixedly connected to the upper wall of the fourth linkage block. The side of the eccentric disc closer to the track is fixedly connected to the first transmission rod. The side of the third energy storage element furthest from the first linkage rod is fixedly connected to the upper wall of the inner cavity. The first transmission rod drives the eccentric disc to rotate. When activated, pressing the fourth linkage block, in conjunction with the third energy storage component, causes the first linkage lever to move downwards, resulting in a reciprocating lifting motion. This drives the sealing plug to draw in the gas in the collection chamber. A check valve is provided in the middle of the channel to allow gas to be introduced into the collection chamber. Foreign objects are drawn into the waste collection box through the channel. The inner cavity of the collection chamber is connected to a guide channel. A screening plate is provided at the connection between the guide channel and the inner cavity to allow gas to be discharged from the guide channel when the sealing plug moves upwards. A screening block is provided on the lower wall of the collection chamber to block and collect foreign objects in the collection chamber.

[0016] 3. In this invention, the first connecting block is screwed to the first linkage block. A second linkage lever is screwed to a portion of the first connecting block that is farther from the first linkage block. The second linkage lever is slidably connected within the second bearing block. When the first linkage block slides, it causes a slight rotation of the first connecting block, driving the second linkage lever to slide within the second bearing block. A second connecting block is screwed to the side of the second linkage lever that is farther from the track. A second rotating lever is slidably connected within the second connecting block. The second rotating lever is screwed to the first linkage block. When the first linkage block slides, it pushes the second rotating lever within the second connecting block to move away from the second bearing block. The second connecting block moves together with the second linkage lever. A support block is screwed onto the side of the block furthest from the second linkage lever. When the first linkage block pushes the second connecting block, the second connecting block rotates to the left, causing the support block to move downwards. This causes the third linkage block to move laterally on the conveyor frame. The support block moves downwards, causing the second linkage block to move downwards on the third linkage block. After the metal target is supported by the support block, it moves downwards again. The second connecting block slides together with the second linkage lever, causing the pair of support blocks to move away from each other. During the downward movement of the metal target, the pair of support blocks move away from each other, allowing the metal target to smoothly enter the subsequent conveying mechanism during the conveying stage, which is beneficial for maintaining the metal target during the material output stage.

[0017] 4. In this invention, when the first connecting rod is not pressed by external force, the first energy storage component helps the first connecting rod return to its original state. One side of the second connecting block is fixedly connected to the second energy storage component, and the side of the second energy storage component farther from the second connecting block is fixedly connected to the second linkage rod. During the stage when the first connecting rod returns to its original state, the first bevel gear plate gradually separates from the second bevel gear plate. No external force is applied to the top of the support block, the threaded rod stops rotating, the second energy storage component returns to its original state, driving the second rotating rod to rotate back to its original state, and the second connecting block presses the first linkage block and... The threaded cover returns to its original state. The second energy storage component helps to buffer the movement of the second connecting block and the support block, and helps to protect the metal target material in the downward movement stage. The side of the support block that is farthest from the second connecting block passes through and slides with the second linkage block. The second linkage block passes through and slides between a pair of support blocks. Several sliding balls are screwed on the support block. A third linkage block passes through the second linkage block. The side of the third linkage block that is farthest from the second linkage block slides with the conveyor frame. The sliding balls reduce the movement resistance between the support block and the metal target material.

When the first bevel gear 14 is driven to slide closer to the second bevel gear 16 by the connecting rod 13 and the ring block, it engages with the second bevel gear 16. This drives the second bevel gear 16 and the threaded rod 160 to rotate, causing the threaded cover 17 to slide. The first linkage block 18 is fixedly connected to the side of the threaded cover 17 far from the second bevel gear 16. When the threaded cover 17 slides, the first linkage block 18 moves accordingly.

[0041] The first connecting block 20 is screwed to the first linkage block 18. A second linkage lever 21 is screwed to a portion of the first connecting block 20 that is farther from the first linkage block 18. The second linkage lever 21 is slidably engaged in the second bearing block 22. When the first linkage block 18 slides, it causes a slight rotation of the first connecting block 20, which drives the second linkage lever 21 to slide within the second bearing block 22. A second connecting block 23 is screwed to the side of the second linkage lever 21 that is farther from the track 44. A second rotating lever 25 is slidably engaged in the second connecting block 23. The second rotating lever 25 is screwed to the first linkage block 18. When the first linkage block 18 slides, it pushes the second rotating lever 25 within the second connecting block 23 to move away from the second bearing block 22. The second connecting block 23 moves together with the second linkage lever 21. The second connecting block 23 is spun to a support block 26 on the side furthest from the second linkage bar 21. When the first linkage block 18 pushes the second connecting block 23, the second connecting block 23 rotates to the left, causing the support block 26 to move downwards, which causes the third linkage block 29 to move laterally on the conveyor frame 40. The support block 26 moves downwards, causing the second linkage block 28 to move downwards on the third linkage block 29. After the metal target is supported by the support block 26, it moves downwards. The second connecting block 23 slides together with the second linkage bar 21, causing the pair of support blocks 26 to move away from each other. During the stage when the metal target is supported and moves downwards, the pair of support blocks 26 move away from each other, allowing the metal target to smoothly enter the subsequent conveying mechanism during the conveying stage, which is beneficial for maintaining the metal target during the material output stage.

[0042] When the first connecting rod 10 is not pressed by external force, the first energy storage component 12 helps the first connecting rod 10 return to its original state. The second energy storage component 24 is fixedly connected to one side of the second connecting block 23, and the side of the second energy storage component 24 farther from the second connecting block 23 is fixedly connected to the second linkage rod 21. During the stage when the first connecting rod 10 returns to its original state, the first bevel gear 14 will gradually separate from the second bevel gear 16. When no external force is applied to the top of the support block 26, the threaded rod 160 stops rotating, the second energy storage component 24 returns to its original state, driving the second rotating rod 25 to rotate back to its original state, and the first linkage block 18 and the threaded cover are pressed by the second connecting block 23. 17 Returning to the original state, the second energy storage component 24 is beneficial for buffering the movement of the second connecting block 23 and the support block 26, and is beneficial for protecting the metal target material in the downward movement stage. The side of the support block 26 that is farther from the second connecting block 23 passes through and slides with the second linkage block 28. The second linkage block 28 passes through and slides between a pair of support blocks 26. Several sliding balls 27 are screwed on the support block 26. A third linkage block 29 is passed through the second linkage block 28. The side of the third linkage block 29 that is farther from the second linkage block 28 slides with the material conveyor 40. The sliding balls 27 reduce the movement resistance between the support block 26 and the metal target material.
