In this embodiment, the first driving member is a first motor 10, and the first belt 9 is sleeved on a pair of tensioning wheels 11. The tensioning wheels 11 enable the first belt 9 to maintain appropriate tension so that the first belt conveyor line can run stably; the lifting assembly includes a lifting driving member fixedly arranged on a pair of first mounting frames 6, and a positioning plate group fixed on the active part of the lifting driving member. In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism is a lifting cylinder 12; the lifting assembly is used to cooperate with the operation of the manipulator 4 so that the product 5 on the first belt conveyor line is within the grasping range of the manipulator 4. The positioning plate group includes a pad 13 for placing the product 5, and a positioning bar 14 installed parallel to the pad 13 and matching the length of the product 5. The positioning bar 14 positions the lifted product 5 to facilitate accurate grasping by the manipulator 4. The transport direction of the first transport mechanism 1 is perpendicular to the transport direction of the second transport mechanism 2.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the second transmission mechanism 2 includes a second belt conveyor line; the second transmission mechanism 2 transfers the product 5 to the next station; the second belt conveyor line includes a second mounting frame and a third mounting frame arranged in parallel, and the second mounting frame is provided with a second active roller, a second driven roller, and a second belt 15 sleeved on the second active roller and the second driven roller on the side facing the third mounting frame, and the third mounting frame is provided with a third active roller, a third driven roller, and a third belt sleeved on the third active roller and the third driven roller on the side facing the second mounting frame, and the second belt conveyor line also includes a second driving member that drives the second active roller and the third active roller to rotate at the same time, and in this embodiment, the second driving member is a second motor 16.

[0038] like Figure 4As shown, the cache bin 3 is used to store cached products 5; there are multiple cache bins 3. The cache bin 3 includes a bin body 17, and multiple U-shaped shelves 18 fixed inside the bin body 17, each shelf 18 is provided with a notch on the side where the manipulator 4 is located. Each shelf 18 is provided with an annular notch 19 whose shape matches the shape of the product 5, and the notch 19 is used to position the product 5 on the shelf 18; the bin body 17 is provided with a top cover, and the top cover is provided with a U-shaped notch 20 on the side where the manipulator 4 is located; in this embodiment, the notch of the shelf 18 and the U-shaped notch 20 of the top cover of the bin body 17 are used for the movement of the lifting rod 21 of the manipulator 4, so as to avoid the manipulator 4.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the grabbing mechanism takes the product 5 on the first conveying mechanism 1 and places it on the buffer bin 3 or the second conveying mechanism 2, or takes the product 5 in the buffer bin 3 and places it on the second conveying mechanism 2. The grabbing mechanism is a manipulator 4, a lifting rod 21 is installed at the end of the manipulator 4, and a suction cup assembly is arranged at the end of the lifting rod 21; the first conveying mechanism 1, the second conveying mechanism 2, and the buffer bin 3 are arranged around the grabbing mechanism; the suction cup assembly includes an I-shaped suction cup 23 frame 22, and a suction cup 23 is arranged on the suction cup 23 frame 22.

After the manipulator 4 rotates to above the positioning plate group, the lifting rod 21 descends, and the suction cup 23 sucks the product 5; then the manipulator 4 directly puts the product 5 into the buffer bin 3 according to the instruction of the controller, or rotates the product 5 counterclockwise by 90° and places it on the starting end of the second belt conveyor line.

[0041] When the robot 4 puts the product 5 into the cache bin 3, it first aligns the product 5 with the shelf 18, aligns the lifting rod 21 with the notch on the shelf 18 and the U-shaped notch 20 of the top cover, then the lifting rod 21 of the robot 4 moves into the notch and the U-shaped notch 20, the suction cup 23 places the product 5 in the annular notch 19 in the shelf 18, and the robot 4 withdraws; when the robot 4 takes the product 5 out of the cache bin 3, the suction cup assembly first aligns the shelf 18, the lifting rod 21 aligns the notch on the shelf 18 and the U-shaped notch 20 of the top cover, then the lifting rod 21 of the robot 4 moves into the notch and the U-shaped notch 20, the suction cup 23 sucks the product 5, the robot 4 withdraws from the cache bin 3, rotates the product 5 90° counterclockwise and places it on the starting end of the second belt conveyor line.
