Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of sheet metal processing technology, and in particular to a thin sheet layer extraction device. Background Technology
[0002] The manufacturing process of laminates involves several steps, including sheet forming, sheet stacking, sheet layer extraction, multi-layer sheet pressing, laminate edge cutting, and waste removal. Sheet forming involves processing the sheet material into thin sheets; sheet stacking involves stacking the sheets one by one to form a neat stack; sheet layer extraction involves separating a specified number of sheets from the stacked sheets for pressing into laminates; multi-layer sheet pressing involves pressing the specified number of sheets into laminates using a multi-layer press; laminate edge cutting involves cutting the edges of the laminates pressed by the multi-layer press to achieve the specified dimensions and ensure smooth edges; and waste removal involves removing the waste generated during the laminate cutting process.
[0003] Because the thickness of the metal sheet used for pressing is less than or equal to 1 mm, the metal sheet is very soft. At present, there is no good device for extracting the sheet by layer. Generally, the sheet stack is layered manually, which is labor-intensive, costly, and inefficient. Moreover, due to the sharpness of the sheet, it is easy to scratch the workers during the layering process. Summary of the Invention

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, the sleeve is detachably connected to the output shaft of the lifting rotary cylinder.
[0011] In one embodiment of this application, the sleeve is fixed to the output shaft of the lifting and rotating cylinder by a fastening screw, and the axis of the fastening screw is perpendicular to the axis of the sleeve.
[0012] In one embodiment of this application, the first side includes an inclined portion and a curved portion connected together. The inclined portion is located on the side of the curved portion close to the lifting and rotating cylinder. The inclined portion is inclined in the direction from the first side to the second side and in the direction from the lifting and rotating cylinder to the layered block. The curved portion is curved in the direction from the first side to the second side and is located on the side of the blade close to the central axis of the layered block.
[0013] In one embodiment of this application, the sliding frame includes two first sliding rods, a mounting rod, and two first support rods.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 10This invention provides a thin plate layering extraction device, which automatically layers a specified number of thin plates 101 from a stack 100 of thin plates 101. The entire layering process requires no manual operation, is highly efficient, and significantly reduces labor costs. The thickness of the thin plates 101 can range from 0.1 to 1 mm, for example, 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, and 1 mm.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the thin plate layering extraction device includes a layering frame 10, a first layering lifting platform 20A, a second layering lifting platform 20B, and a layering mechanism. The layering frame 10 forms a receiving cavity 11 extending along a first horizontal direction; the first layering lifting platform 20A is located inside the receiving cavity 11; the second layering lifting platform 20B is located on one side of the first layering lifting platform 20A along the first horizontal direction; the layering mechanism is installed on the layering frame 10 and is used to layer a specified number of thin plates 101 from the stack of thin plates 100 piled on the first layering lifting platform 20A, and drag the layered specified number of thin plates 101 to the second layering lifting platform 20B to achieve automatic layering.
[0024] The layering mechanism includes a rotating frame 30, a blade layering assembly 50, a first horizontal transport assembly 40, a sliding frame 60, a clamping assembly 70, and a second horizontal transport assembly 90; the blade layering assembly 50 is located above the first layering lifting platform 20A, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the blade layering assembly 50 includes a layering mounting frame 51, a lifting and rotating cylinder 52 mounted on the layering mounting frame 51, and a layering block 53 connected to the output shaft of the lifting and rotating cylinder 52. The layering block 53 is located on the side of the lifting and rotating cylinder 52 near the first layering lifting platform 20A. The layering block 53 is provided with blades 536 that allow the layering block 53 to be inserted into the thin plates 101 with less effort. When the output shaft of the lifting and rotating cylinder 52 is in a vertical state, the cutting edge of the blade 536 faces the thin plate 101. A first horizontal transport assembly 40 is mounted on the rotating frame 30 and connected to the layering mounting frame 51 of the blade layering assembly 50, for driving the blade layering assembly 50 to move in a second horizontal direction. A sliding frame 60 is slidably mounted on the layering frame 10. A rotary drive assembly 80 is mounted on the sliding frame 60 and connected to the rotating frame 30, for driving the blade layering assembly 50 to rotate around the second horizontal direction. A clamping assembly 70 is mounted on the sliding frame 60 for clamping the thin plates 101 separated from the thin plate stack 100, such as... Figure 10As shown, the clamping assembly 70 includes a first clamping drive module 71 and a clamping plate module connected to the first clamping drive module 71. The first clamping drive module 71 is used to drive the clamping plate module to move along a first horizontal direction; the second horizontal transport assembly 90 is mounted on the layering frame 10 and connected to the sliding frame 60, and is used to drive the blade layering assembly 50 and the clamping assembly 70 to move along the first horizontal direction by pushing the sliding frame 60.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a stack of thin plates 101 is placed on the first layering lifting platform 20A. The first horizontal direction is defined as the width direction of the thin plates 101, and the second horizontal direction as the length direction of the thin plates 101. Initially, the layering block 53 is inclined relative to the thin plates 101 of the stack of thin plates 100. The layering block 53 is located on the side of the stack of thin plates 100 closest to the second layering lifting platform 20A, and is located to the left or right of the stack of thin plates 100. The blade 536 faces the thin plate 101. If the layering block 53 is located on the left side of the thin plate stack 100, the blade 536 of the layering block 53 faces the left side of the thin plate stack 100; if the layering block 53 is located on the right side of the thin plate stack 100, the blade 536 of the layering block 53 faces the right side of the thin plate stack 100. This ensures that when the layering block 53 rotates, the blade 536 enters the space between the thin plates 101 first, followed by the layering block 53. The operation of the entire thin plate layering extraction device will now be explained using the initial state where the layering block 53 is located on the right side of the thin plate stack 100 as an example. The entire thin plate layering extraction device operation process includes the following steps: S10. The thin plate stack 100 is driven to rise by the first layer lifting platform 20A, and the height of the rise is equal to the total thickness of the specified number of thin plates 101 to be separated from the thin plate stack 100. S20. The rotating frame is driven by the rotating drive assembly 80 to rotate the blade layering assembly 50 toward the first layering lifting platform 20A until the axis of the output shaft of the lifting rotating cylinder 52 is vertical. At this time, the blade 536 of the layering block 53 faces the right side of the thin plate stack 100. S30. The first horizontal transport component 40 drives the blade 536 to approach the thin plate stack 100 along the second horizontal direction, that is, to approach the thin plate stack 100 along the length direction of the thin plate 101. After approaching, the lifting and rotating cylinder 52 drives the layering block 53 to rotate, so that the blade 536 on the layering block 53 is inserted between the thin plates 101 to be separated, until the layering block 53 is also inserted between the thin plates 101. S40, the first horizontal transport assembly 40 drives the layering block 53 to move along the second horizontal direction to the left of the first clamping assembly 70; then, the lifting and rotating cylinder 52 drives the layering block 53 to rise, so that the layering block 53 lifts the specified number of thin plates 101 to be separated. S50, the first clamping drive cylinder 71 of the first clamping assembly 70 drives the clamping plate module to approach the lifted thin plate 101 portion. After the clamping plate module approaches the thin plate 101, it clamps the lifted thin plate 101 portion.
[0026] S60, the layer block 53 is driven by the second horizontal transport component 90 to continue moving along the second horizontal direction to the left of the next clamping component 70, which performs the same action as the previous clamping component 70 to clamp the lifted portion of the thin plate 101. S70. Repeat step S60 until all clamping components 70 clamp the specified number of sheets 101 that need to be separated from the sheet stack 100. S80, the rotary drive assembly 80 drives the rotating frame 30 to rotate around the second horizontal direction with the blade layering assembly 50, so that the layering block 53 runs out from between the thin plates 101; S90, the second horizontal transport component 90 drives the clamping component 70 to pull the thin plate 101 onto the second layer lifting platform 20B along the first horizontal direction (the width direction of the thin plate 101); after it is placed, the clamping plate module of the clamping component 70 releases the thin plate 101, and after being released, it leaves the thin plate 101 and returns to its original position under the drive of the first clamping drive cylinder 71. S100, the layered block 53 returns to its initial position and is restored to its initial state under the joint cooperation of the first horizontal transport component 40, the second horizontal transport component 90, the rotary drive component 80 and the lifting rotary cylinder 52.
[0027] Once a specified number of thin plates 101 are separated from the thin plate stack 100 and transported to the second layering lifting platform 20B, the pressing device can press the thin plates 101 placed on the second layering lifting platform 20B to form a single thin plate 101. Steps S10 to S100 are repeated to perform multiple layering operations on the thin plate stack 100 placed on the first layering lifting platform 20A until the thin plate stack 100 on the first layering lifting platform 20A is completely layered.
[0028] This invention can effectively automate the layering of two or more thin plates 101 from a stack of thin plates 101, eliminating the need for manual labor, resulting in high layering efficiency and significantly saving time compared to manual layering. It also prevents workers from being scratched by the thin plates during layering. Furthermore, the lifting and rotation of the layering block 53 is achieved through a lifting and rotating cylinder 52. Compared to the traditional method of combining a lifting cylinder and a rotary motor, this simplifies the overall structure, reduces size, and lowers cost. The angle required for the lifting and rotating cylinder 52 to drive the layering block 53 is controlled by an angle encoder (not shown in the figure) mounted on the lifting and rotating cylinder 52. The angle encoder measures the rotation angle of the output shaft of the lifting and rotating cylinder 52 and sends the measured angle information to an external control device. The control device compares the obtained angle information with pre-stored specified angle information. When the rotation angle of the output shaft of the lifting and rotating cylinder 52 reaches the specified angle, the control device stops the rotation of the lifting and rotating cylinder 52.
[0029] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first-level lifting platform includes a support plate 21, a base plate 22 located below the support plate 21, and a lifting assembly connecting the support plate 21 and the base plate 22. The lifting assembly is used to drive the support plate 21 to rise by a specified height each time.
[0030] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a push cylinder 25 and a connecting rod module connected to the push cylinder 25. The connecting rod module includes a first connecting plate 231, a second connecting plate 323, a third connecting plate 233, a fourth connecting plate 234, a fifth connecting plate 235, a sixth connecting plate 236, a first connecting rod 241, a second connecting rod 242, a third connecting rod 234, a fourth connecting rod 244, a fifth connecting rod 245, and a sixth connecting rod 246. The first connecting plate 231 and the second connecting plate 323 are arranged intersectingly to form a first connecting plate unit, and the third connecting plate 233 and the fourth connecting plate 234 are arranged intersectingly to form a second connecting plate unit. The first connecting plate unit and the second connecting plate unit are arranged opposite to each other. The intersection of the first connecting plate 231 and the second connecting plate 323 is rotatably connected through one end of the first connecting rod 241, and the intersection of the third connecting plate 233 and the fourth connecting plate 234 is connected through the first connecting rod 241. The other end of rod 241 is rotatably connected; one end of the first connecting plate 231 and the third connecting plate 233 is rotatably connected to the base plate 22 via the second connecting rod 242, and the other end of the first connecting plate 231 and the third connecting plate 233 is rotatably connected to the bearing plate 21 via the third connecting rod 234, and the third connecting rod 234 is slidably connected to the bearing plate 21; one end of the second connecting plate 323 and the fourth connecting plate 234 is rotatably connected to the base plate 22 via the fourth connecting rod 244, and the fourth connecting rod 244 is slidably connected to the base plate 22, and the other end of the second connecting plate 323 and the fourth connecting plate 234 is rotatably connected to the bearing plate 21 via the fifth connecting rod 245; one end of the fifth connecting plate 235 and the sixth connecting plate 236 is connected to the fourth connecting rod 244, and the other end is connected via the sixth connecting rod 246, and the sixth connecting rod 246 is rotatably connected to the output shaft of the push cylinder 25. This structural design of the linkage module enables it to have a high load-bearing capacity. When the thin plate stack 100 is placed on the support plate 21, the linkage module can bear most of the weight of the thin plate stack 100, and only a small portion of the weight of the thin plate stack 100 will be transmitted to the push cylinder 25, thereby protecting the lifting push cylinder 25. Moreover, the linkage module can effectively prevent the support plate 21 from shaking or tilting due to uneven force, ensuring the stability of the lifting of the first layer lifting platform 20A.
[0031] The structure of the second-level lifting platform 20B is the same as that of the first-level lifting platform 20A, and will not be described in detail here.
[0032] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the rotating frame 30 includes a rotating rod 31 and a drive rod 32 vertically connected to the rotating rod 31. The drive rod 32 is connected to the rotation drive assembly 80.
[0033] Furthermore, there are two drive rods 32, which are respectively located at both ends of the rotating rod 31. Correspondingly, there are also two rotary drive assemblies 80, with each drive rod 32 and rotary drive assembly 80 arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0034] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first horizontal transport assembly 40 is a pulley transport structure. Specifically, the two ends of the rotating rod 31 are provided with relief cavities 311; the layered mounting frame 51 is slidably connected to the rotating rod 31; the first horizontal transport assembly 40 includes two pulleys 41, a belt 42, and a pulley drive motor 43. The two pulleys 41 are respectively located in the two relief cavities 311 of the rotating frame 30. The belt 42 cooperates with the two pulleys 41 and surrounds the rotating frame 30. The belt 42 passes through the layered mounting frame 51 of the blade layering mechanism and is connected to the layered mounting frame 51; the pulley drive motor 43 is mounted on the rotating rod 31 and connected to one of the pulleys 41.
[0035] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 5As shown, the layering block 53 is circular and has a notch 531. The layering block 53 has a first side surface 532 and a second side surface 535 located on opposite sides of the notch 531. A blade 536 is provided on the first side surface 532, extending from the first side surface 532 to the second side surface 535 and positioned near the edge of the layering block 53. The vertical distance from the outer side surface of the blade 536 to the central axis of the layering block 53 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the layering block 53. This ensures that when the layered sheet 101 rotates, the blade 536 enters the layers between the sheets 101 to be layered first, followed by the layering block 53 entering the layers. The blade layering assembly 50 also includes a sheet insertion limiting unit 54 corresponding to the notch 531 of the layering block 53. The sheet insertion limiting unit 54 is mounted on the output shaft of the lifting and rotating cylinder 52 and spaced apart from the layering block 53. The sheet insertion limiting unit 54, in conjunction with the blade 536, limits the number of sheet layers 101 to be separated from the sheet stack 100. The dimension between the thin plate insertion limiting unit 54 and the layering block 53 is equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the required number of thin plates 101. When the layering block 53 is in its initial state, the notch 531 of the layering block 53 is aligned with one corner of the thin plate stack 100. For example, if the layering block 53 is initially located on the right side of the thin plates 101, then the notch 531 of the layering block 53 is aligned with the right corner of the thin plate stack 100 near the second layering lifting platform 20B. When the layering block 53 moves along the second horizontal direction under the drive of the second horizontal transport assembly 90 to a position that facilitates the rotation and insertion of the layering block 53 between the thin plates 101, the thin plate insertion limiting unit 54... 4. Located directly above the end corner of the thin plate stack 100 near the second layering lifting platform 20B, before the layering block 53 is rotated and inserted between the thin plates 101, the lifting rotary cylinder 52 can first drive the layering block 53 and the thin plate insertion limiting unit 54 to descend together until the distance from the thin plate insertion limiting unit 54 to the top of the thin plate 101 is equal to the thickness of the layering block 53. At this time, the blade 536 of the layering block 53 is also located at the contact position between the thin plate 101 to be layered and the thin plate 101 not to be layered. Therefore, with the cooperation of the thin plate insertion limiting unit 54, the layering block 53 can be accurately moved to the layering position of the thin plate stack 100. When the layered block 53 is rotated and inserted between the thin plates 101, the rotation angle of the thin plate 101 is selected as 90°-180°. This rotation angle not only ensures that the layered block 53 enters between the thin plates 101, but also ensures that the thin plate insertion limiting unit 54 moves away from the thin plate stack 100 after the layered block 53 is inserted between the thin plates 101. When performing step 70, it can be ensured that the thin plate insertion limiting unit 54 will not block the layered block 53 from running out between the thin plates 101. Moreover, the layered block 53 is set to be circular, which can ensure that the layered block 53 will not run out from the thin plate 101 when rotating within the range of 90°-180°.
[0036] Optional, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the thin plate insertion limiting unit 54 includes a baffle 541, a sleeve 542 connecting the baffle 541, and a distance sensor 543 mounted on the baffle 541. The baffle 541 is provided corresponding to the notch 531 of the layer block 53. The radial length of the baffle 541 along the layer block 53 is greater than or equal to the radius of the layer block 53. The side of the baffle 541 facing the layer block 53 has a mounting groove, and the distance sensor 543 is installed in the mounting groove. When the lifting and rotating cylinder 52 drives the thin plate insertion limiting unit 54 to descend and approach the thin plate stack 100, the distance sensor 543 measures the distance between the baffle 541 and the layer block 53 in real time. When the distance sensor 543 measures that the distance between the baffle 541 and the thin plate stack 100 is equal to the thickness of the layer block 53, the external control device controls the lifting and rotating cylinder 52 to stop driving the baffle 541 to descend based on the information sent by the distance sensor 543.
[0037] Optional, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first side surface 532 includes an inclined portion 533 and a bent portion 534 connected to each other. The inclined portion 533 is located on the side of the bent portion 534 near the lifting and rotating cylinder 52. The inclined portion 533 is inclined in the direction from the first side surface 532 to the second side surface 535 and in the direction from the lifting and rotating cylinder 52 to the layering block 53. The bent portion 534 is bent in the direction from the first side surface 532 to the second side surface 535 and is located on the side of the blade 536 near the central axis of the layering block 53. This structural arrangement of the first side surface 532 can assist the blade 536 in quickly and effortlessly guiding the thin plate 101 onto the layering block 53.
[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the sleeve 542 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the lifting rotary cylinder 52, for example, by welding or interference fit. In other feasible embodiments, the sleeve 542 and the output shaft of the lifting rotary cylinder 52 are detachably connected. For example, as... Figure 7 As shown, the sleeve 542 is fixed to the output shaft of the lifting and rotating cylinder 52 by a fastening screw 544. The axis of the fastening screw 544 is perpendicular to the axis of the sleeve 542, and the sleeve 542 is provided with a mounting hole through which the fastening screw 544 passes. The cooperation between the fastening screw 544 and the mounting hole enables the position adjustment of the thin plate insertion limiting unit 54 on the output shaft of the lifting and rotating cylinder 52, thereby allowing the distance between the baffle 541 and the blade 536 to be adjusted according to the number of thin plates 101 to be separated, improving the applicability of the thin plate insertion limiting unit 54.
[0039] like Figure 8As shown, the sliding frame 60 includes two first sliding rods 61, a mounting rod 62, and two first support rods 63. The mounting rod 62 extends along a first horizontal direction. The first sliding rods 61 are slidably mounted on the top of the stratification frame 10 and located on both sides of the receiving cavity 11, for moving along the first horizontal direction on the stratification frame 10 under the drive of the second horizontal transport assembly 90. The mounting rod 62 extends along a second horizontal direction, connects the two first sliding rods 61, and is located on the side of the stratification frame 10 near the second stratification lifting platform 20B. The two first support rods 63 are respectively located on the top of the two first sliding rods 61 and are rotatably connected to the two ends of the rotating rod 31 of the rotating frame 30, for supporting the rotating rod 31. The rotary drive assembly 80 is arranged one-to-one with the first sliding rods 61 and is mounted on the first sliding rods 61. The clamping assemblies 70 are all mounted on the mounting rods 62.
[0040] Optionally, the sliding frame 60 further includes a second sliding rod 64 and a second support rod 65. The second sliding rod 64 is slidably mounted on the bottom end of the layering frame 10 along a first horizontal direction. The number of second sliding rods 64 is equal to the number of first sliding rods 61. The second sliding rods 64 and the first sliding rods 61 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence and are connected by the second support rod 65. The arrangement of the second sliding rods 64 and the support rod 65 can, on the one hand, increase the stability of the movement of the sliding frame 60, and on the other hand, provide support for the structure composed of the first sliding rods 61 and the mounting rod 62. This allows the first sliding rods 61 to share the weight of the thin plates 101 when the clamping assembly 70 drags a specified number of thin plates 101, making the first sliding rods 61 less prone to bending and deformation.
[0041] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 9As shown, the clamping module includes a fixing frame 73, a first clamping block 74, a second clamping block 75, and a second clamping drive cylinder 72; the fixing frame 73 includes a first mounting plate 731 extending along a first horizontal direction and a second mounting plate 732 vertically connected to the first mounting plate 731. One end of the first mounting plate 731 is fixed to the mounting rod 62, and the other end extends along the first horizontal direction toward the first tiered lifting platform 20A; the second mounting plate 732 is located on the end of the first mounting plate 731 near the first tiered lifting platform 20A; the first clamping block... 74 is fixed on the side of the second mounting plate 732 near the first layer lifting platform 20A. The second clamping block 75 includes a clamping part 751 corresponding to the first clamping block 74 and a driving part 752 inclined relative to the clamping part 751. The clamping part 751 is located above the first clamping block 74. One end of the driving part 752 is connected to the clamping part 751 and rotatably connected to the second mounting plate 732. The other end is rotatably connected to the output shaft of the second clamping driving cylinder 71. The second clamping driving cylinder 72 is rotatably connected to the second mounting plate 732.
[0042] Optionally, to increase the clamping force of the clamping plate module, each clamping plate module has at least two second clamping drive cylinders 72, for example... Figure 1 As shown, each clamping plate module has two second clamping drive cylinders 72, which are arranged side by side along the second horizontal direction.
[0043] The optional first clamping block 74 is wedge-shaped, and its cross-sectional dimensions gradually decrease along the first horizontal direction toward the first layering lifting platform 20A. The wedge shape of the first clamping block 74 facilitates its smooth insertion between the separated thin plates 101.
[0044] In other feasible embodiments, protrusions may be provided on the sides of the first clamping block 74 and the second clamping block 75 facing each other to increase the friction between the first clamping block 74 and the thin plate 101 and between the second clamping block 75 and the thin plate 101, so that the thin plate 101 is not easily dislodged from the clamping assembly 70 when it is clamped and dragged.
[0045] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 10 As shown, the rotary drive assembly 80 is a linkage drive structure. Specifically, the rotary drive assembly 80 includes a rotary drive cylinder 81 and a rotary linkage module. The rotary drive cylinder 81 is connected to the second horizontal transport assembly 90, and the rotary linkage module is connected to the output shaft of the rotary drive cylinder 80 and the rotating frame 30, and is used to drive the rotating frame 30 to rotate around the second horizontal direction under the drive of the rotary drive cylinder 80.
[0046] Furthermore, the rotating linkage module includes a slide rail 82 mounted on the first slide bar 61 of the frame, a rotating drive slider 83 slidably mounted on the slide rail 82, a rotating drive linkage 84 rotatably connected to the rotating drive slider 83 at one end, and a rotating drive cylinder 81 mounted on the first slide bar 61 of the frame. The other end of the rotating drive linkage 84 is connected to the rotating rod 31 of the rotating frame 30 through a rotating drive connecting column 85. The output shaft of the rotating drive cylinder 80 is rotatably connected to the rotating drive slider 83.
[0047] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 8 As shown, the second horizontal transport assembly 90 is a rack and pinion transport structure. Specifically, the second horizontal transport assembly 90 includes a rack 91, a gear 92, and a gear drive motor 93. The rack 91 extends along the first horizontal direction, the gear 92 meshes with the rack 91, and the gear drive motor 93 is mounted on the layering frame 10 and connected to the gear 92. The gear drive motor 93 drives the rack 91 to move linearly along the first horizontal direction through the gear 92. The rack 91 drives the sliding frame 60 to move along the first horizontal direction, while the clamping assembly 70 and the blade layering assembly 50 move linearly along the first horizontal direction under the drive of the sliding frame 60.
[0048] Furthermore, in order to ensure the smooth transport of the clamping assembly 70 and the blade layering assembly 50 along the first horizontal direction, there are two second horizontal transport assemblies 90, which are located on opposite sides of the receiving cavity 11 along the second horizontal direction.
[0049] The above description represents the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
