Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of testing equipment, in particular to a feeding device and a sorting machine. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, the application of integrated circuits (ICs) is becoming more and more extensive. Since ICs need to go through multiple precise manufacturing processes during production, ICs must undergo performance tests before leaving the factory to ensure the quality of the ICs.

[0003] When testing the chip, the chip transportation process is generally as follows: loading, preheating, testing and unloading. The chips are fed in by tubes (multiple chips are packaged in tubes), and the chips need to be tested individually. Therefore, the chips need to be separated from the tubes when they are loaded to facilitate robot grabbing. However, traditional loading devices have the problem of unstable chip loading, such as the chip is not easy to separate from the tube when loading or it is easy to get stuck during transportation after separating from the tube. When the chip has the above problems, some measures need to be taken to make the chip separate from the tube or make the chip transportation smooth, which leads to low test efficiency.

[0050] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present application, a sorting machine 1000 is provided for sorting products. Specifically, the products sorted by the sorting machine 1000 are integrated circuits. It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the types of products sorted by the sorting machine 1000 are not limited.

[0051] The sorting machine 1000 includes a loading device 100, a loading robot, a preheating mechanism 200, a testing mechanism 300, a unloading robot and an unloading device 400. The loading device 100 is used for loading products, the loading robot can transport the products on the loading device 100 to the preheating mechanism 200 for preheating, and transport the preheated products to the testing mechanism 300 for testing, the unloading robot can transport the products tested by the testing mechanism 300 to the unloading device 400, and the unloading device 400 is used for unloading products.

[0052] When the above-mentioned sorting machine 1000 sorts the products, the products are loaded onto the loading device 100, the loading robot grabs the products on the loading device 100, and transfers the products to the pre-heating mechanism 200 for pre-heating, so that the products can reach a certain temperature in advance, and the loading robot moves the pre-heated products to the testing mechanism 300. The testing mechanism 300 tests the performance of the products, and after the test is completed, the unloading robot moves the products on the testing mechanism 300 to the unloading device 400, and the unloading device 400 unloads the products. The various devices of the sorting machine 1000 cooperate with each other, so that the various processes of loading, pre-heating, testing and unloading of the products are carried out in sequence, ensuring the test efficiency.

[0053] In some embodiments, the loading device 100 has a first loading station and a first jacking station. Figure 2The feeding device 100 includes a first pipe storage mechanism 10, a first pipe pushing mechanism 20, a first pipe jacking mechanism 30, a flipping mechanism 40 and a feeding track 50. The first pipe storage mechanism 10 is used to store and transport the first material pipe, and the first material pipe contains a plurality of products along its first extension direction. The first pipe pushing mechanism 20 is used to receive the first material pipe transported by the first pipe storage mechanism 10 at the first feeding station, and push the first material pipe from the first feeding station to the first pipe jacking station in the first direction intersecting the first extension direction of the first material pipe. The first pipe jacking mechanism 30 is used to push the first material pipe located at the first pipe jacking station onto the flipping mechanism 40 along the first extension direction, and the flipping mechanism 40 is used to clamp the first material pipe and flip the first material pipe. The feeding track 50 has a feeding end and a discharging end. The feeding track 50 is used to receive the products that slide down under the action of gravity in the first material pipe flipped by the flipping mechanism 40, and is used to transport the products from the feeding end to the discharging end.

[0054] In the above arrangement, when the product is loaded, the first pipe storage mechanism 10 conveys the first material pipe to the first pipe pushing mechanism 20, and the first pipe pushing mechanism 20 pushes the first material pipe from the first feeding station to the first pipe pushing station in the first direction. When the first pipe pushing mechanism 20 pushes the first material pipe to the first pipe pushing station, the first pipe pushing mechanism 30 pushes the first material pipe onto the flipping mechanism 40 along the first extension direction of the first material pipe, and the flipping mechanism 40 clamps the first material pipe. The flipping mechanism 40 drives the first material pipe to flip at a preset angle, so that the product in the first material pipe slides out of the first material pipe under the action of gravity, and the slid-out product enters the loading track 50 through the feeding end, and the loading track 50 conveys the product from the feeding end to the discharging end, so that the loading robot can grab the product.

[0055] In the above-mentioned feeding device 100, the first material tube is stored on the first tube storage mechanism 10. When the product is fed, the first tube storage mechanism 10 conveys the first material tube to the first tube pushing mechanism 20. The first tube pushing mechanism 20 pushes the first material tube from the first feeding station to the first tube pushing station in the first direction. When the first tube pushing mechanism 20 pushes the first material tube to the first tube pushing station, the first tube pushing mechanism 30 pushes the first material tube onto the flipping mechanism 40. The flipping mechanism 40 clamps the first material tube and flips the first material tube. The product in the first material tube slides from the first material tube under the action of gravity into the feeding track 50. The feeding track 50 conveys the product from the feeding end to the discharging end. The various mechanisms cooperate with each other to ensure the feeding stability of the product, thereby improving the testing efficiency.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figure 3The feeding device 100 further includes a mounting plate 140, and the first pipe storage mechanism 10, the first pipe pushing mechanism 20, the first pipe jacking mechanism 30, the flipping mechanism 40 and the feeding track 50 are all mounted on the mounting plate 140. In this way, the feeding device 100 has a high integration. In other embodiments, the feeding device 100 may also omit the mounting plate 140, or each mechanism may include a mounting plate, which is not limited here.

[0057] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 The first pipe storage mechanism 10 includes a pipe storage assembly 11, a pipe blocking assembly 12 and a pipe connecting assembly 13. The pipe storage assembly 11 is used to store the first material pipes. The pipe blocking assembly 12 allows the first material pipe located at the bottom layer in the second direction to fall onto the pipe connecting assembly 13 and can block the remaining first material pipes from falling. The pipe connecting assembly 13 can transport the received first material pipes to the first pipe pushing mechanism 20. The first extension direction, the first direction and the second direction intersect each other. Specifically, the first extension direction, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, and the first extension direction is Figure 2 In the X direction, the first direction is Figure 2 The middle Y direction, the second direction is Figure 2 Middle Z direction.

[0058] With the above arrangement, when the product does not need to be loaded, the first material tube is stored in the storage tube assembly 11 under the blocking action of the tube blocking assembly 12. When the product needs to be loaded, the tube blocking assembly 12 operates to make the first material tube at the bottom layer fall onto the connecting tube assembly 13, and then blocks the remaining first material tubes from falling. The connecting tube assembly 13 transports the connected first material tube to the first tube pushing mechanism 20 to facilitate the loading of the product.

[0059] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The storage tube assembly 11 includes a first storage member 111 and a second storage member 112 which are spaced apart in the first extension direction of the first material tube, and the two ends of the first material tube in the first extension direction are respectively arranged in the first storage member 111 and the second storage member 112. Specifically, the first storage member 111 and the second storage member 112 each include a first side plate 1111, a second side plate 1112 and a third side plate 1113, and the first side plate 1111, the second side plate 1112 and the third side plate 1113 are enclosed to form a storage cavity 1114. The first storage member 111 and the second storage member 112 have openings 1115 communicating with their respective storage cavities 1114 on one side facing each other, and the two ends of the first material tube are respectively arranged in the two storage cavities 1114 through the two openings 1115. The first material storage member 111 and the second material storage member 112 further include an adjustment plate 1116 , and each adjustment plate 1116 is used to adjust the width of each opening 1115 to adapt to first material tubes with different sizes.

[0060] Furthermore, a material pipe limiting bracket 113 is provided on the second material storage member 112 of the storage tube assembly 11. When the flipping mechanism 40 is connected to the first material pipe pushed toward it by the jacking tube mechanism 30 and drives the first material pipe to flip, the material pipe limiting bracket 113 can resist the first material pipe to limit the flipping angle of the first material pipe to avoid the flipping mechanism 40 driving the first material pipe to flip excessively, thereby ensuring that the first material pipe is in a proper position so that the product in the first material pipe slides down into the upper material track 50 under the action of gravity.

[0061] There are two pipe blocking assemblies 12, which are respectively installed on the first material storage member 111 and the second material storage member 112. The two pipe blocking assemblies 12 cooperate to block the first material pipe or allow the first material pipe to fall onto the pipe connection assembly 13. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The two pipe blocking assemblies 12 each include a pipe blocking driver 121 and an insert 122, and the insert 122 is connected to the pipe blocking driver 121. The pipe blocking driver 121 can drive the insert 122 to move relative to the corresponding material storage member, so that the insert 122 can switch between a blocking position for blocking the first material pipe and a release position for allowing the first material pipe to fall. When both inserts 122 are located at the release position, the first material pipe located at the bottom can fall onto the pipe connection assembly 13, and when both inserts 122 are located at the blocking position, the insert 122 can block the first material pipe from falling onto the pipe connection assembly 13. More specifically, the pipe blocking driver 121 is a cylinder.

[0062] Further, the first material storage member 111 and the second material storage member 112 each include a bottom plate 1117, and the bottom plate 1117 is connected to the respective second side plates 1112. The first material storage member 111 and the second material storage member 112 are connected to the mounting plate 140 through their respective bottom plates 1117. The pipe connection assembly 13 includes a pipe connection driving member 131 and a lifting plate 132, the pipe connection driving member 131 is installed on the above-mentioned mounting plate 140, and the lifting plate 132 is penetrated through the bottom plate 1117 and connected to the pipe connection driving member 131. Specifically, there are two pipe connection assemblies 13, and the lifting plates 132 of the two pipe connection assemblies 13 are respectively connected to the corresponding pipe connection driving members 131 through the above-mentioned two bottom plates 1117. When the above-mentioned two inserts 122 are both in the release position, the first material pipe falls onto the lifting plate 132, and the pipe connection driving member 131 drives the lifting plate 132 to move downward in the second direction to transport the first material pipe to the first pipe pushing mechanism 20.

[0063] With the above arrangement, when the product does not need to be loaded, both inserts 122 are in the blocking position, and the first material tube is stored in the material storage cavity 1114 of the storage tube assembly 11 under the blocking effect of the inserts 122. When the product needs to be loaded, the tube blocking driver 121 drives the inserts 122 to move from the blocking position to the release position, and the first material tube at the bottom falls onto the lifting plate 132 of the pipe assembly 13. Then, the tube blocking driver 121 drives the inserts 122 to return from the release position to the blocking position to block the first material tube above from falling. The pipe driving member 131 drives the lifting plate 132 to move downward, and the first material tube is transported to the first pipe pushing mechanism 20.

[0064] It is conceivable that in order to realize the function of storing and transporting the first material tube, the first tube storage mechanism 10 can also adopt other configurations, which are not limited here.

[0065] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first pipe pushing mechanism 20 includes a pipe pushing drive assembly 21 and a carrier 22 connected to each other, and a material trough 221 for placing the first material pipe is provided on the carrier 22. The pipe pushing drive assembly 21 can drive the carrier 22 to move along the first direction, so that the material trough 221 moves between the first feeding station and the first pipe jacking station. In this way, when the pipe driving member 131 drives the lifting plate 132 to move downward, the first material pipe is placed on the material trough 221 of the carrier 22, and the pipe pushing drive assembly 21 can drive the carrier 22 to move, so that the first material pipe moves from the first feeding station to the first pipe jacking station.

[0066] See also Figure 7 and Fig. 9 The push tube drive assembly 21 includes a push tube drive member 211, a swing rod 212, a cam 213 and a first connecting rod 214. The swing rod 212 includes a first rod 2121 and a second rod 2122 that are connected and tilted to each other. The first rod 2121 and the second rod 2122 are tilted. The push tube drive member 211 is mounted on the mounting plate 140 and is hinged to one end of the first rod 2121 away from the second rod 2122. The connection between the first rod 2121 and the second rod 2122 is hinged to the mounting plate 140. The second rod 2122 is provided with a guide hole 2123. Figure 8 The bearing member 22 includes two bearing plates 222 spaced apart in the first extension direction, each bearing plate 222 is provided with a sub-groove 2211, and the two sub-grooves 2211 together form the material trough 221. The first connecting rod 214 connects the two bearing plates 222, and the cam 213 is connected to the first connecting rod 214, and the cam 213 is disposed in the guide hole 2123. Specifically, the push tube driving member 211 is a cylinder.

[0067] With the above arrangement, when the tube push driving member 211 pushes the rocker arm 212 to move, the rocker arm 212 drives the cam 213 to move in the first direction, and the cam 213 drives the supporting plate 222 to move in the first direction through the first connecting rod 214, thereby being able to push the first material tube located in the material trough 221 from the first feeding station to the first jacking station.

[0068] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the carrier plate 222 always moves in the first direction, the loading device 100 further includes a guide mechanism 150, which is used to guide the carrier plate 222. The guide mechanism 150 includes a slide rail and a slider, wherein the slide rail is disposed on one of the mounting plate 140 and the carrier plate 222, and the slider is disposed on the other of the mounting plate 140 and the carrier plate 222.

[0069] It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the push tube drive assembly 21 and the bearing member 22 can be arranged in other ways. For example, the push tube drive assembly 21 only includes the push tube drive member 211, and the push tube drive member 211 is directly connected to the bearing member 22 to directly push the bearing member 22 to move along the first direction.

[0070] In some embodiments, see Fig.10 The first pipe-pushing mechanism 30 includes a pipe-pushing driving assembly 31 and a first top plate 32. The pipe-pushing driving assembly 31 is mounted on the mounting plate 140, and the first top plate 32 is connected to the pipe-pushing driving assembly 31. The pipe-pushing driving assembly 31 can drive the first top plate 32 to move along the first extension direction to push the first material pipe on the first pipe-pushing mechanism 20 onto the flip mechanism 40. The pipe-pushing driving assembly 31 includes a pipe-pushing driving member 311, a connecting block 312, and a sliding shaft 313. The pipe-pushing driving member 311 is mounted on the connecting block 312, and the sliding shaft 313 is slidably arranged in the connecting block 312 along the first extension direction. The first top plate 32 is connected to the pipe-pushing driving member 311 and the sliding shaft 313. The pipe-pushing driving member 311 drives the first top plate 32 to move along the first extension direction. When the first top plate 32 moves along the first extension direction, the sliding shaft 313 slides relative to the connecting block 312 along the first extension direction to guide the first top plate 32.

[0071] See also Fig.11The flip mechanism 40 includes a flip drive assembly 41, a connecting assembly 42 and a clamping assembly 43. The connecting assembly 42 is connected to the flip drive assembly 41, and the clamping assembly 43 is arranged on the connecting assembly 42. The clamping assembly 43 cooperates with the connecting assembly 42 to clamp the first material pipe, and the flip drive assembly 41 can drive the connecting assembly 42 and the clamping assembly 43 to flip together to realize the flipping of the first material pipe. In this way, when the first jacking mechanism 30 pushes the first material pipe onto the flip mechanism 40, the first material pipe is clamped by the clamping assembly 43 and the connecting assembly 42, and then the flip drive assembly 41 can drive the clamping assembly 43 and the connecting assembly 42 to flip together to realize the flipping of the first material pipe. In some specific embodiments, the flip angle of the first material pipe driven by the flip mechanism 40 is 45°. It can be imagined that in other specific embodiments, the flip angle of the first material pipe driven by the flip mechanism 40 is not limited.

[0072] In some embodiments, see Fig.12 The pressing assembly 43 includes a pressing drive 431 and a pressing block 432. The pressing block 432 is connected to the pressing drive 431. The pressing drive 431 can drive the pressing block 432 to approach or move away from the connecting assembly 42. When the pressing drive 431 drives the pressing block 432 to approach the connecting assembly 42, the pressing block 432 can cooperate with the connecting assembly 42 to press the first material tube. When the pressing drive 431 drives the pressing block 432 to move away from the connecting assembly 42, the pressing block 432 can loosen the first material tube so that the first material tube can be removed from the flipping mechanism 40.

[0073] In some embodiments, see Fig.11 The flip driving assembly 41 includes a flip driving member 411 and a second connecting rod 412. The second connecting rod 412 is hinged to the flip driving member 411 and connected to the connecting assembly 42. The flip driving member 411 can drive the second connecting rod 412 to rotate, so as to drive the connecting assembly 42 to move through the second connecting rod 412, thereby realizing the common flipping of the connecting assembly 42 and the pressing assembly 43, and finally realizing the flipping of the first material tube.

[0074] See also Fig.11 The feeding device 100 further includes a first knocking mechanism 80, which is used to knock the first material tube after the flipping mechanism 40 flips over, so that the products in the first material tube slide into the feeding track 50 under the action of gravity. In this way, by knocking the first material tube by the first knocking mechanism 80, it can be ensured that all products in the first material tube slide into the feeding track 50.

[0075] In some specific embodiments, the first knocking mechanism 80 is disposed on the connecting assembly 42. When the turning driving assembly 41 drives the connecting assembly 42 to turn over, the first knocking mechanism 80 can turn over together with the connecting assembly 42, so that the first knocking mechanism 80 knocks the first material pipe at an appropriate angle. Of course, in other specific embodiments, the first knocking mechanism 80 may not be disposed on the connecting assembly 42, such as the first knocking mechanism 80 is disposed on the mounting plate 140. In this case, the first knocking mechanism 80 will no longer turn over together with the connecting assembly 42, but the first knocking mechanism 80 can still play the role of knocking the first material pipe.

[0076] The first striking mechanism 80 includes a first striking drive and a first striking block, wherein the first striking block is mounted on the first striking drive. The first striking drive can drive the first striking block to approach or move away from the first material pipe, and when the first striking block contacts the first material pipe, the first material pipe can be struck. Specifically, the first striking drive is a cylinder.

[0077] In some embodiments, see Fig.11 The feeding device 100 further includes a first blocking mechanism 110, which can block or allow the products in the first material tube to slide down under the action of gravity after the turning mechanism 40 turns over. In this way, when the turning mechanism 40 drives the first material tube to turn over, the setting of the first blocking mechanism 110 can control whether the products in the first material tube slide down to the feeding track 50, so as to control the number of products in the feeding track 50.

[0078] See also Fig.13 The first blocking mechanism 110 includes a first blocking driving member 1101 and a first stopper 1102, and the first stopper 1102 is mounted on the first blocking driving member 1101. The first blocking driving member 1101 can drive the first stopper 1102 to move, so that the first stopper 1102 can block or allow the product in the first material tube to slide down under the action of gravity after the flipping mechanism 40 flips. Specifically, the first blocking driving member 1101 is a cylinder.

[0079] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 4The feeding track 50 includes a curved track 51 and a straight track 52 connected to each other, the feeding end is formed on the curved track 51, and the discharging end is formed on the straight track 52. The product in the curved track 51 can slide to the straight track 52 under the action of gravity, and the feeding device 100 also includes a linear vibrator 60, which is used to vibrate the product in the straight track 52 to the discharging end for output. In this way, the product that slides down in the first material tube after the flipping mechanism 40 is flipped first enters the curved track 51, and the product in the curved track 51 can slide to the straight track 52 under the action of gravity. The product in the straight track 52 is vibrated to the discharging end under the action of the linear vibrator 60, so that the product is transported from the feeding end to the discharging end. Specifically, the curved track 51 is arc-shaped, so that the product can slide smoothly into the straight track 52.

[0080] For further information, see Figure 2 The feeding device 100 further includes a blowing mechanism 70, which is used to blow air into the straight track 52 to blow the product in the straight track 52 to the discharge end. In this way, the linear vibrator 60 cooperates with the blowing mechanism 70 to ensure that the product in the straight track 52 is output to the discharge end. The blowing mechanism 70 includes a blowing needle, which can be inserted into the blowing hole set on the straight track 52 to blow air into the straight track 52.

[0081] In some embodiments, the feeding device 100 further includes a second knocking mechanism 90, which is used to knock the feeding track 50 so that the product is output from the feeding end to the discharging end. Specifically, the second knocking mechanism 90 is used to knock the straight track 52 so that the product located in the straight track 52 is output to the discharging end.

[0082] Continue reading Figure 2 , the second knocking mechanism 90 includes a second knocking driver 91 and a second knocking block 92, the second knocking driver 91 is installed on the mounting plate 140, and the second knocking block 92 is connected to the second knocking driver 91. It should be noted that the second knocking driver 91 can be directly installed on the mounting plate 140, and can also be indirectly installed on the mounting plate 140 through other mechanisms, which is not limited here. The second knocking driver 91 drives the second knocking block 92 to approach or move away from the straight rail 52, and the straight rail 52 can be knocked when the second knocking block 92 contacts the straight rail 52. Optionally, the second knocking driver 91 is a cylinder. It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the second knocking driver 91 can also be a motor, etc.

[0083] Continue reading Figure 3 The feeding device 100 further includes a second blocking mechanism 120, which can block or allow the product to be transported from one end of the straight track 52 close to the curved track 51 to the discharge end. Figure 3The second blocking mechanism 120 includes a second blocking driving member 1201 and a second stopper 1202. The second stopper 1202 is arranged on the second blocking driving member 1201. The second driving assembly 121 drives the second stopper 1202 to move so that the second stopper 1202 extends into the straight rail 52 to block the product from being delivered to the discharge end or is pulled out from the straight rail 52 to allow the product to be delivered to the discharge end.

[0084] For further information, see Figure 2 Fig.14 The feeding device 100 further includes a particle classification mechanism 130, which includes a fixed seat 1301, a reset member 1305, a stopper 1302, a particle classification driving member 1303 and a particle classification member 1304. The stopper 1302 is connected to the fixed seat 1301 through the reset member 1305. The particle classification member 1304 is arranged on the particle classification driving member 1303, and the particle classification driving member 1303 can drive the particle classification member 1304 to move between the receiving station and the feeding station. When the particle classification member 1304 is in the receiving station, the particle classification member 1304 can apply a force to the stopper 1302, and the stopper 1302 allows the product in the straight track 52 to be output to the particle classification member 1304. When the particle classifying member 1304 is at the loading station, the blocking rod 133 blocks the products on the straight rail 52 from being transported to the discharge end under the elastic force of the reset member 1305, and the particle classifying member 1304 allows the loading robot to grab the products thereon.

[0085] With the above arrangement, when the particle-classifying member 1304 is at the loading station, the blocking rod 1302 blocks the product in the straight track 52 from being transported to the discharging end under the action of the reset member 1305. When the particle-classifying driving member 1303 drives the particle-classifying member 1304 to move from the loading station to the receiving station, the particle-classifying member 1304 contacts the blocking rod 1302 and applies a force to the blocking rod 1302, and the blocking rod 1302 compresses the reset member 1305. At this time, the blocking rod 1302 no longer blocks the product, so that the product can be transported from the straight track 52 to the particle-classifying member 1304 under the action of the linear vibrator 60 and the blowing mechanism 70. When the particle separation driving member 1303 drives the particle separation member 1304 to move from the receiving station to the loading station, the loading robot grabs the product on the particle separation member 1304, and the particle separation member 1304 is separated from the blocking rod 1302 to release the blocking rod 1302, and the blocking rod 1302 is reset under the action of the reset member 1305 to block the product in the straight rail 52 from being transported to the discharge end, and so on.

After the preheating mechanism 200 completes preheating of the product, the second loading manipulator transports the product on the preheating mechanism 200 to the infeed shuttle, and the infeed shuttle drives the product to move to the testing mechanism 300, and the testing mechanism 300 tests the product. The products tested by the testing mechanism 300 are transported to the discharge shuttle, which drives the products to the first unloading manipulator. The second transfer shuttle can move between the first unloading manipulator and the second unloading manipulator. The first unloading manipulator transports the products on the discharge shuttle to the second transfer shuttle, and the second transfer shuttle moves to the second unloading manipulator. The second unloading manipulator transports the products to the unloading device 400 for loading and unloading.

[0088] The unloading device 400 has a second feeding station and a second jacking station. The second pipe storage mechanism 403 is used to store the second material pipe. The second pipe pushing mechanism 404 is used to receive the second material pipe transported by the second pipe storage mechanism 403 at the second feeding station, and push the second material pipe from the second feeding station to the second jacking station in a third direction intersecting with the second extension direction of the second material pipe. The second jacking mechanism 405 is used to push the second material pipe located at the second jacking station to dock with the docking track 406 in the second extension direction to collect the product in the docking track 406. The storage mechanism 407 is used to store the second material pipe after the product is collected. Specifically, the second extension direction is perpendicular to the third direction. Fig.15 As shown, the second extension direction is Fig.15 The U direction in the third direction is Fig.15 The V direction in .

[0089] It should be noted that the second extension direction and the first extension direction may be parallel to each other or may intersect each other, and the third direction may be the same as the first direction or may intersect each other, which is not limited here.

[0090] According to the above configuration, after the unloading track 401 receives the product transported by the second unloading manipulator, the product in the unloading track 401 enters the shuttle mechanism 402, the shuttle mechanism 402 docks with the docking track 406, and the qualified product enters the docking track 406 through the shuttle mechanism 402.

When there are many second tubes stored in the storage mechanism 407, the second tubes are taken away manually or by an external manipulator.

[0091] The configuration of the second pipe storage mechanism 403, the second pipe pushing mechanism 404 and the second pipe jacking mechanism 405 can refer to the first pipe storage mechanism 10, the first pipe pushing mechanism 20 and the first pipe jacking mechanism 30 respectively, and the configuration of the depository mechanism 407 can also refer to the first pipe storage mechanism 10, which will not be described in detail again.
