The stop block 61 is used to stop the conveying position of the material tray, so that the material tray can be positioned at a predetermined position of the conveying unit 1, so that the stacking accuracy is guaranteed when the upper and lower composite layers are stacked.

[0034] In some embodiments, the lifting unit 4 in the utility model includes a fixed base 48 fixed to the conveying unit 1, and a lifting cylinder 41 is fixedly installed on the fixed base 48, a transverse cylinder 42 is fixed to the axial end of the lifting cylinder 41, and a material receiving plate 43 is fixed to the axial end of the transverse cylinder 42, and at least two material dividing blocks 44 are arranged on the end face of the material receiving plate 43.

[0039] During operation, when the tray on the conveying unit 1 is delivered to the right position, the shaft end of the stop cylinder 6 extends during the delivery process of the tray, the tray on the conveyor belt 13 is stopped, and after the second sensor 17 detects the tray signal, the shaft ends of the two transverse cylinders 42 retract, and all the trays of the buffer unit fall onto the conveying unit 1, and the lifting cylinder 31 extends to drive the tray to rise, and the tray at the bottom is higher than the height of the dividing block 44, the two transverse cylinders 42 extend, and the lifting cylinder 31 retracts, and all the trays that are descending will be caught by the four dividing blocks, completing the stacking of the trays;

[0040] When there is a demand for a tray, and the second sensor 17 detects that there is no tray on the conveyor belt 13 under the buffer unit 5, the shaft end of the lifting cylinder 31 extends to hold all the trays, the two transverse cylinders 42 retract, and then the two lifting cylinders 41 rise, and then the two transverse cylinders 42 extend again, and at this time, just one tray is separated. The lifting cylinder 31 falls, and the tray falls onto the conveying unit 1, realizing the separation of the tray, and the two lifting cylinders 41 retract, waiting for the next stacking or separation, and the separated tray is transported to the next station by the conveying unit 1.
