Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of incubator technology, and more particularly to an automatic shaking incubator. Background Technology
[0002] In biological experiments, liquid substances often need to be shaken. Generally, before shaking, the liquid is first injected into the well plate, and then the well plate is sealed to prevent the liquid from spilling out of the well plate during shaking. Finally, the sealed well plate is placed into the shaker for shaking.
[0003] However, different experiments have different oscillation requirements. Sometimes, it is necessary to oscillate a large number of orifice plates at the same time, which requires placing too many orifice plates in the oscillator at once. The power of existing oscillators is basically located at the bottom. During the oscillation process, due to the excessive weight of the oscillator, the power output end of the bottom oscillation device is easily bent or damaged due to uneven force, thus affecting the service life of the oscillator. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned in the background art, this application provides an automated shaking incubator.
[0005] An automatic shaking incubator includes a housing. Inside the housing are a storage mechanism for storing perforated plates and a shaking mechanism for shaking the storage mechanism. The power input end of the shaking mechanism is connected to a power mechanism mounted on the housing. Inside the housing is a straightening mechanism to prevent the storage mechanism from tipping over. The power output ends of the shaking mechanism and the straightening mechanism are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the storage mechanism. The straightening mechanism includes a third rotating shaft. A second eccentric shaft is mounted on the end of the third rotating shaft near the storage mechanism. The axis of the second eccentric shaft is parallel to the axis of the third rotating shaft but eccentrically positioned. The second eccentric shaft is connected to the top of the storage mechanism. The power mechanism is connected to the third rotating shaft.
[0006] As one embodiment, the material storage mechanism includes a material storage rack, which is rotatably connected to the second eccentric shaft. The bottom of the material storage rack is connected to the oscillation mechanism. A material storage cavity is provided inside the material storage rack, and a support platform for supporting the perforated plate is provided inside the material storage cavity. At least one support platform is provided.
[0007] In one embodiment, the oscillation mechanism includes a mounting base, a first rotating shaft, a second rotating shaft, a first eccentric shaft, and a mounting platform. The mounting base is mounted on the housing. The first rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the mounting base. The first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are connected via gear transmission. The first rotating shaft is connected to the power mechanism. The second rotating shaft is symmetrically arranged inside the mounting base and is rotatably connected to the mounting base. One end of each of the symmetrically arranged second rotating shafts is mounted with a first eccentric shaft. The axis of the second rotating shaft is parallel to the axis of the corresponding first eccentric shaft but is eccentrically arranged. The mounting platform is rotatably connected to the first eccentric shafts. The mounting platform is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage rack. The movement trajectory of the mounting platform is the same as the movement trajectory of the second eccentric shaft. At any given time, the movement directions of the mounting platform and the second eccentric shaft are always the same.
[0008] In one embodiment, the power mechanism includes a drive motor and a transmission assembly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. The drive motor is mounted on the housing. The first rotating shaft is connected to the transmission assembly of the power mechanism. The drive motor is connected to the third rotating shaft through the transmission assembly.
[0009] In one embodiment, the housing is provided with a material handling mechanism for picking up, placing, and transporting the perforated plate. The material handling mechanism includes a lifting assembly for moving the perforated plate vertically and a sliding assembly for moving the perforated plate horizontally. The lifting assembly includes a screw, a first splined shaft, and a second splined shaft. The axes of the screw, the first splined shaft, and the second splined shaft are parallel to each other and are mounted on the output shafts of different motors. The spline of the first splined shaft is parallel to its axis, and the spline of the second splined shaft is parallel to its axis. The screw is threadedly connected to a mounting bracket, and a first assembly and a second assembly are rotatably connected to the mounting bracket. The first assembly and the second assembly are splinedly connected to the first splined shaft and the second splined shaft, respectively.
[0010] In one embodiment, the sliding assembly includes a sleeve shaft, a mandrel, a rotating seat, and a movable plate. The sleeve shaft is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket. The mandrel passes through the sleeve shaft and the two are rotatably connected. The axes of the mandrel and the sleeve shaft coincide. The mandrel is connected to the first assembly via a pulley and belt drive structure. The sleeve shaft is connected to the second assembly via a pulley and belt drive structure. A rotating seat is fixedly mounted on the sleeve shaft. A groove is provided on the rotating seat. A movable plate for supporting the perforated plate is slidably connected in the groove of the rotating seat. A transmission component is provided between the rotating seat and the movable plate. The mandrel passes through the rotating seat. The mandrel drives the movable plate to slide in the groove of the rotating seat via the transmission component. The width of the movable plate is smaller than the width of the perforated plate.
[0011] In one embodiment, the transmission component includes a gear set and a rack. The gear set includes a plurality of meshing gears arranged along the direction of movement of the movable plate. The rack is mounted on the movable plate and meshes with a gear in the gear set that is away from the spindle. The spindle is fixedly connected to one of the gears in the gear set.
[0012] As one embodiment, the support platform is provided with a clearance opening for avoiding the material handling mechanism from moving up and down.
[0013] As one embodiment, the housing is provided with a clamping mechanism for clamping the perforated plate in the storage mechanism. The clamping mechanism includes a clamping motor, a rotating shaft, and a clamping block corresponding to the placement position of the perforated plate in the storage mechanism. At least one of the clamping blocks is installed on the rotating shaft.
[0014] As one embodiment, the housing is provided with a window, which is located within the active area of the material handling mechanism. A material handling rack for placing the perforated plate taken out by the material handling mechanism is installed on one side of the housing with the window.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this application are: This invention simultaneously incorporates an oscillation mechanism and a straightening mechanism within the incubator. The power output ends of the oscillation mechanism and the straightening mechanism are connected to the upper and lower ends of the material storage mechanism, respectively. This allows the oscillation mechanism and the straightening mechanism to transmit power from the power mechanism to both ends of the material storage mechanism simultaneously. This not only ensures that the overall oscillation frequency of the material storage mechanism is almost uniform during oscillation, but also prevents the overall structure of the material storage mechanism from tilting or tipping over due to oscillation, thereby improving the service life of the incubator.
[0016] Other technical solutions of the present invention can also achieve the following technical effects: By setting a material handling mechanism inside the box for picking up, placing and transporting perforated plates, the present invention can automatically pick up and place materials while having an automatic oscillation function, without the need for manual operation, thus improving the operational efficiency of the entire process.
[0017] By setting a clamping mechanism inside the housing, the output shaft of the clamping motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, so that the rotating shaft can drive all the clamping blocks on it to rotate synchronously. The clamping blocks are positioned facing the feeding side of the storage rack, so that the clamping blocks act as a fence for the corresponding perforated plate, preventing the perforated plate from detaching from the storage rack during vibration.

[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] An automated shaking incubator, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the device includes a housing 1. Inside the housing 1, there is a storage mechanism 2 for storing perforated plates and an oscillation mechanism 3 for oscillating the storage mechanism 2. The storage mechanism 2 can hold multiple perforated plates, each with samples filling its perforations. A protective film is wrapped around the perforations to prevent sample splashing and loss. The oscillation mechanism 3 can simultaneously oscillate all the perforated plates in the storage mechanism 2, thereby improving oscillation efficiency. The power input end of the oscillation mechanism 3 is connected to a power mechanism 4, which is mounted on the housing 1. The power mechanism 4 can be a motor with a bidirectional output shaft. The motor can be installed in a partition inside the housing 1 to avoid it being in the same chamber as the perforated plates, reducing the impact of motor heat dissipation on the perforated plates. The housing 1 also includes a straightening mechanism 5 to prevent the storage mechanism 2 from tipping over. The power output ends of the oscillation mechanism 3 and the straightening mechanism 5 are connected to the upper and lower ends of the storage mechanism 2, respectively. The straightening mechanism 5 includes a third rotating shaft 501. A second eccentric shaft 502 is installed at the lower end of 1. The axis of the second eccentric shaft 502 is parallel to the axis of the corresponding third rotating shaft 501, but the axis of the second eccentric shaft 502 is offset from the axis of the corresponding third rotating shaft 501. That is, the two are eccentrically set. When the third rotating shaft 501 rotates, it can drive the second eccentric shaft 502 on it to revolve around the axis of the third rotating shaft 501, so that the movement trajectory of the second eccentric shaft 502 is circular. The second eccentric shaft 502 is connected to the top of the storage mechanism 2. The axis of the third rotating shaft 501 coincides with the axis of the power input end of the oscillation mechanism 3. The power mechanism 4 is connected to the third rotating shaft 501. Through the oscillation mechanism 3, the third rotating shaft 501 and the second eccentric shaft 502, the power of the motor is transmitted to the upper and lower ends of the storage mechanism 2 at the same time. This not only makes the overall oscillation frequency of the storage mechanism 2 almost the same during the oscillation process, but also avoids the problem of the overall structure of the storage mechanism 2 tilting or tipping over due to oscillation, thereby improving the service life of the incubator.
[0022] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the storage mechanism 2 includes a long, narrow storage rack 201. Multiple storage racks 201 can be provided as needed. The number of oscillation mechanisms 3, power mechanisms 4, and straightening mechanisms 5 must match the number of storage racks 201. The top of the storage rack 201 is rotatably connected to the corresponding second eccentric shaft 502. Ventilation holes can be provided on the storage rack 201. The bottom of the storage rack 201 is connected to the oscillation mechanism 3. A storage cavity for storing the perforated plate is provided inside the storage rack 201. The storage cavity is a rectangular cavity. An electric door can be provided on the storage rack 201. The electric door can be opened when feeding or retrieving material from the storage rack 201. Before oscillating the perforated plate, the storage rack 201 can be... When the electric door closes, a support platform 202 for supporting the perforated plate is provided in the storage cavity. The support platform 202 can be U-shaped or straight. When the support platform 202 is U-shaped, at least one support platform 202 is provided, and one U-shaped support platform 202 can support one perforated plate. When the support platform 202 is straight, they can be provided in pairs, and a pair of support platforms 202 jointly support one perforated plate. When the perforated plate is placed on the support platform 202, the bottom surface of the perforated plate contacts the top surface of the corresponding support platform 202. If it is necessary to vibrate multiple perforated plates at the same time, multiple or multiple pairs of support platforms 202 can be provided. At this time, the support platforms 202 can be evenly distributed in the vertical direction along the storage cavity of the storage rack 201.
[0023] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the oscillation mechanism 3 includes a mounting base 301, a first rotating shaft 302, a second rotating shaft 303, a first eccentric shaft 304, and a mounting platform 305. The mounting base 301 is installed in the bottom partition of the housing 1. The first rotating shaft 302 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 301. The axis of the first rotating shaft 302 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The lower end of the first rotating shaft 302 is located outside the mounting base 301. The lower end of the first rotating shaft 302 is connected to the power mechanism 4 for transmission. The components are symmetrically arranged inside the mounting base 301. There are two second rotating shafts 303, both of which are rotatably connected to the mounting base 301. Gears are provided on both the first rotating shaft 302 and the two second rotating shafts 303, and these gears mesh with the gears on the two second rotating shafts 303, enabling the first rotating shaft 302 to drive the two second rotating shafts 303 to rotate when it rotates. A first eccentric shaft 304 is fixedly connected to the upper end of each of the two second rotating shafts 303, and the axis of each second rotating shaft 303 is aligned with the corresponding first eccentric shaft 304. The axes are parallel, but the axis of the first eccentric shaft 304 is offset from the axis of the second rotating shaft 303. When the second rotating shaft 303 rotates, it can drive the first eccentric shaft 304 on it to revolve around the axis of the second rotating shaft 303, so that the movement trajectory of the first eccentric shaft 304 is circular. The upper ends of the two first eccentric shafts 304 are provided with bearings. The two first eccentric shafts 304 are connected to the mounting platform 305 through their respective bearings. The mounting platform 305 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage rack 201. The movement trajectory of the mounting platform 305 is the same as that of the second eccentric shaft 502 and both are circular. At the same time, the movement direction of the mounting platform 305 and the second eccentric shaft 502 is always the same. The mounting platform 305 is rectangular and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the corresponding storage rack 201. The mounting platform 305 and the second eccentric shaft 502 respectively drive the upper and lower ends of the corresponding storage rack 201 to shake slightly, thereby fully vibrating the perforated plate inside the storage rack 201.
[0024] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the power mechanism 4 includes a drive motor and a transmission assembly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. The transmission assembly is used to remotely transmit the power of the drive motor. The drive motor is installed in a compartment inside the housing 1. The transmission assembly can be a structure with multiple rotating shafts and multiple gears. The multiple gears can include spur gears and bevel gears. Two gears are installed on the first rotating shaft 302 and the third rotating shaft 501 for power transmission. The multiple rotating shafts are rotatably installed inside the housing 1. By installing gears on the multiple rotating shafts, the rotating shafts transmit power and achieve power steering through gears. The first rotating shaft 302 is connected to the transmission assembly of the power mechanism 4, and the drive motor is connected to the third rotating shaft 501 through the transmission assembly.
[0025] In one embodiment, such as Figures 9-13As shown, the housing 1 is equipped with a material handling mechanism 6 for picking up, placing, and transporting the perforated plate. The material handling mechanism 6 includes a lifting assembly for moving the perforated plate vertically and a sliding assembly for moving the perforated plate horizontally. The lifting assembly includes a screw 601, a first splined shaft 602, and a second splined shaft 603. The axes of the screw 601, the first splined shaft 602, and the second splined shaft 603 are all perpendicular to the horizontal plane and parallel to each other. Moreover, the screw 601, the first splined shaft 602, and the second splined shaft 603 are all mounted on different motors and are all fixedly connected to the output shaft of the corresponding motors. The spline of the first splined shaft 602 is parallel to the axis of the first splined shaft 602, and the spline of the second splined shaft 603 is parallel to the axis of the second splined shaft 603. The splines of the first splined shaft 602 and the second splined shaft 603 are parallel to each other in the vertical direction. The lengths of the screws 601 and 606 are equal and not less than the length of the storage chamber in the vertical direction. The screw 601 is threadedly connected to the mounting bracket 604. The first kit 605 and the second kit 606 are rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 604. Both the first kit 605 and the second kit 606 are sleeve structures. The interior of the first kit 605 and the interior of the second kit 606 are respectively provided with spline grooves corresponding to the splines of the first spline shaft 602 and the second spline shaft 603. The first kit 605 and the second kit 606 are respectively splined to the first spline shaft 602 and the second spline shaft 603 through the internal spline grooves. The sliding component is mounted on the mounting bracket 604. The sliding component is drivenly connected to the first kit 605 and the second kit 606 respectively, so that the sliding component can remove the perforated plate from the storage rack 201 or place the perforated plate in the storage rack 201.
[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figures 9-13As shown, the sliding assembly includes a sleeve shaft 607, a spindle 608, a rotating seat 609, and a movable plate 610. The sleeve shaft 607 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 604. The spindle 608 passes through the sleeve shaft 607 and the two are rotatably connected. The axes of the spindle 608 and the sleeve shaft 607 coincide and are both perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The spindle 608 is connected to the first assembly 605 via a pulley and belt drive structure. That is, pulleys are provided at the lower ends of both the spindle 608 and the first assembly 605. A belt is wound between the pulleys on the spindle 608 and the pulleys on the first assembly 605. When the first assembly 605 rotates, it can drive the spindle 608 to rotate via its pulley and belt. The sleeve shaft 607 is connected to the second assembly 606 via a pulley and belt drive structure. That is, pulleys are provided at the lower ends of both the sleeve shaft 607 and the second assembly 606. A belt is wound between the pulley on 607 and the pulley on the second assembly 606. When the second assembly 606 rotates, it can drive the sleeve shaft 607 to rotate through the pulley and belt on it. A rotating seat 609 is fixedly installed on the sleeve shaft 607. The rotating seat 609 is located above the mounting bracket 604. The rotating seat 609 is provided with linearly distributed sliding grooves. A movable plate 610 for supporting the perforated plate is slidably connected in the sliding groove of the rotating seat 609. A transmission component 611 is provided between the rotating seat 609 and the movable plate 610. The spindle 608 passes through the rotating seat 609 and extends from the top of the rotating seat 609. The width of the movable plate 610 is smaller than the width of the perforated plate. The width direction of the movable plate 610 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the sliding groove of the rotating seat 609. When the perforated plate is located on the movable plate 610, the width direction of the perforated plate is consistent with the width direction of the movable plate 610.
[0027] In one embodiment, the transmission component 611 can be a structure consisting of a lead screw slider and two meshing bevel gears. One bevel gear is mounted on the upper end of the spindle 608, and the other bevel gear is mounted on the unthreaded end of the lead screw. The lead screw is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 609, and the extension direction of the lead screw's axis is consistent with the extension direction of the groove on the rotating seat 609. A slider that is fixedly connected to the movable plate 610 is threaded onto the lead screw. The spindle 608 drives the movable plate 610 to slide within the groove of the rotating seat 609 through the transmission component 611. That is, when the spindle 608 rotates, it drives the lead screw to rotate through the two bevel gears. During the rotation of the lead screw, the slider on it drives the movable plate 610 to slide along the groove, thereby realizing the feeding or picking up of materials by the movable plate 610. In one embodiment, such as Figures 11-13As shown, the transmission component 611 can also be a gear transmission structure, which includes a gear set and a rack. The gear set includes multiple meshing gears arranged along the movement direction of the movable plate 610 or the extension direction of the groove of the rotating seat 609. The axis of the gears in the gear set is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The rack is mounted on the movable plate 610. The gear in the gear set farthest from the spindle 608 has a higher horizontal height than the other gears in the gear set. The rack only meshes with the gear in the gear set farthest from the spindle 608. The spindle 608 is fixedly connected to the gear located at the end of the gear set. When the spindle 608 rotates, the spindle 608 drives the remaining gears in the gear set to mesh and rotate through the gears, thereby causing the gears to drive the movable plate 610 to slide in the groove through the rack. Moreover, the sleeve shaft 607 and the spindle 608 can rotate synchronously. When they rotate synchronously, all the gears in the gear set remain relatively stationary, thereby keeping the movable plate 610 stationary during the rotation adjustment angle process.
[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the support platform 202 is provided with a clearance opening for the movable plate 610 to move up and down. When the support platform 202 is a U-shaped structure, the clearance opening is the gap in the middle of the U-shape. When the support platform 202 is a pair of straight plates, the clearance opening is the gap between the pairs of straight plates. When the material picking mechanism 6 picks up the perforated plate from the storage rack 201, the motor on the screw 601 starts. This motor drives the screw 601 to rotate through the output shaft, thereby enabling the mounting frame 604 to move the movable plate 610 up and down. When the movable plate 610 reaches the picking height, the motor on the screw 601 stops rotating, and the motor on the second spline shaft 603 starts. The output shaft of this motor drives the second rotating shaft 303 to rotate through the second spline shaft 603. During the rotation of the second rotating shaft 303, the sleeve shaft 607 is driven to rotate through the pulley belt. When the sleeve shaft 607 rotates, the movable plate 610 is driven to rotate through the rotating seat 609, thereby adjusting the movable plate 610. When the movable plate 610 is directly opposite the storage cavity of the storage rack 201, the motor on the second spline shaft 603 stops rotating, and the motor on the first spline shaft 602 starts. The output shaft of the first spline shaft 602 drives the first assembly 605 to rotate. During the rotation of the first assembly 605, the spindle 608 is driven to rotate through the pulley belt. The spindle 608 drives the movable plate 610 to move along the slide groove through the transmission component 611, so that the movable plate 610 extends into the storage cavity. When the movable plate 610 is directly below the hole plate to be taken and the corresponding support platform 202, the motor on the first spline shaft 602 stops working, and the motor on the screw 601 rotates again. The mounting bracket 604 drives the movable plate 610 to move upward and pass through the clearance opening of the support platform 202, so that the movable plate 610 lifts the hole plate to be taken. Then, according to the above operation, it is transported to the designated position. Repeating the above operation, all the hole plates can be taken out.
[0029] When the material handling mechanism 6 is used to transport the perforated plate to the storage rack 201, the operation of the material handling mechanism 6 is basically the same as the material handling operation described above. The difference is that the perforated plate is first placed on the movable plate 610. When the movable plate 610 enters the storage cavity, the perforated plate on the movable plate 610 is positioned directly above the corresponding support platform 202 instead of directly below it. Then, the motor on the screw 601 rotates, causing the mounting bracket 604 to move the movable plate 610 downward and through the clearance opening of the support platform 202. During this process, the perforated plate on the movable plate 610 contacts the corresponding support platform 202 and stays on the support platform 202, causing the movable plate 610 to separate from the perforated plate, completing the transportation of the perforated plate to the storage rack 201. Then, the material handling mechanism 6 resets and repeats the above operation, allowing for multiple feedings to the storage rack 201.
[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 14 As shown, the housing 1 is equipped with a clamping mechanism 7 for clamping the perforated plates in the storage mechanism 2. The number of clamping mechanisms 7 is the same as the number of storage racks 201. The clamping mechanism 7 includes a clamping motor 701, a rotating shaft 702, and a clamping block 703 corresponding to the placement position of the perforated plates in the storage mechanism 2. The clamping motor 701 is located in the top partition inside the housing 1. The rotating shaft 702 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the corresponding storage rack 201. The rotating shaft 702 is connected to the corresponding clamping motor 701 through a telescopic universal joint. The axis of the rotating shaft 702 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The rotating shaft 702 is located near the feeding side of the corresponding storage rack 201. The position of the rotating shaft 702 is offset from the movement trajectory of the picking mechanism 6 to prevent mechanical interference between the two, thereby avoiding affecting the feeding or picking of materials by the picking mechanism 6. At least one clamping block 703 is installed on the rotating shaft 702. After all the perforated plates that need to be vibrated are fed into the storage mechanism 2, the clamping mechanism 702 is used to clamp the perforated plates. After the material rack 201 is in place, the clamping motor 701 is started. The output shaft of the clamping motor 701 drives the rotating shaft 702 to rotate, causing all the clamping blocks 703 on the rotating shaft 702 to rotate synchronously. This positions the clamping blocks 703 on the feeding side of the material rack 201. The clamping blocks 703 can fit into the corresponding perforated plate, acting as a barrier for the perforated plate. The horizontal cross-section of the material rack 201 can be a U-shaped structure, with the opening side of the U-shape being the feeding side of the material rack 201. After the clamping blocks 703 fit into the perforated plate, the perforated plate is clamped between the material rack 201 and the corresponding clamping blocks 703, preventing the perforated plate from detaching from the material rack 201 during vibration. When it is necessary to remove the perforated plate from the material rack 201, the clamping motor 701 can be controlled to rotate, causing the rotating shaft 702 to drive the clamping blocks 703 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the clamping blocks 703 no longer obstruct the feeding side of the material rack 201.
[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 and Figure 15As shown, a rectangular window 101 is provided on the housing 1. The window 101 is located within the active area of the picking mechanism 6. The movable plate 610 can extend out from the window 101. A picking rack 102 for placing the perforated plates taken out by the picking mechanism is installed on one side of the housing 1 where the window 101 is located. The picking rack 102 is also provided with a clearance opening. After the perforated plates have finished vibrating, the picking mechanism 6 can take out the perforated plates one by one from the storage rack 201 and place them on the picking rack 102. Each time a perforated plate is taken out, the perforated plate on the picking rack 102 needs to be removed so that subsequent perforated plates can also be placed on the picking rack 102. Similarly, the picking rack 102 can also be used as a feeding device. When it is necessary to feed a perforated plate into the storage rack 201, a perforated plate is first placed on the picking rack 102, and the picking mechanism 6 is waited to remove the perforated plate. Then the above operation is repeated.
[0032] In one embodiment, a control panel is provided on the housing 1. The control panel is electrically connected to all the motors in the housing 1 and can realize functions such as automatic vibration, automatic material handling and automatic pressing through the control panel, so as to achieve fully automated operation.
