[0029] Stairs 130 are provided at both ends of the loading platform 110. The stairs 130 are provided at the ends of the loading platform 110 and are located in front of the barrel lifting mechanism 120 to reduce the overall length of the automatic loading device 1000 and make the structure more compact. Operators can move to the loading platform 110 through the stairs 130 to perform maintenance and cleaning. Among them, guardrails 140 are provided on both sides of the loading platform 110 and the stairs 130 to ensure the safety of personnel when going up and down the loading platform 110.

[0030] The loading platform 110 is provided with a transverse track 112 and a longitudinal track 113. The transverse track 112 is provided parallel to the arrangement direction of the press equipment 2100, and the longitudinal track 113 is provided perpendicular to the transverse track 112. A longitudinal track 113 is provided above each press equipment 2100. The carrier 200 can slide and cooperate with the transverse track 112 and the longitudinal track 113 to realize walking on the loading platform 110.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The transport mechanism 200 includes a sub-carriage 220 and a mother car 210. The mother car 210 moves on the transverse track 112, and the sub-carriage 220 is longitudinally slidably arranged on the mother car 210. The sub-carriage 220 is provided with a barrel fixing frame 221, and the barrel 3000 can be fixedly installed on the barrel fixing frame 221.

[0032] Specifically, a first guide member 211 and a first roller 213 are provided at the bottom of the mother vehicle 210, and a first guide groove 212 adapted to the transverse track 112 is provided on the first guide member 211. The transverse track 112 is matched with the first guide groove 212 so that the mother vehicle 210 can stably slide along the transverse track 112, and the first roller 213 is rollingly arranged above the transverse track 112. A motor is provided in the mother vehicle 210, and the first roller 213 is driven to rotate by the motor, thereby driving the mother vehicle 210 to walk on the transverse track 112.

[0034] The mother vehicle 210 is longitudinally provided with a sub-vehicle track 214, and the sub-vehicle 220 is matched with the sub-vehicle track 214, that is, initially, the second roller 224 of the sub-vehicle 220 is located on the sub-vehicle track 214, and the sub-vehicle track 214 is matched with the second guide groove 223. The sub-vehicle track 214 is parallel to the longitudinal track 113, and the track spacing of the sub-vehicle track 214 is consistent with the track spacing of the longitudinal track 113, so that when the mother vehicle 210 moves to the longitudinal track 113, the sub-vehicle track 214 can dock with the longitudinal track 113, so that the sub-vehicle 220 can travel along the sub-vehicle track 214 to the longitudinal track 113.

[0035] When adding powder to the continuous press 2000, the mother car 210 transports the sub-cart 220 and the barrel 3000 filled with powder along the transverse track 112 to the longitudinal track 113 at the press equipment 2100, and the sub-cart 220 moves along the sub-cart track 214 to the longitudinal track 113 and moves to the top of the feeding port 111, so that the barrel 3000 is aligned with the feeding port 111 for feeding. After the feeding is completed, the sub-cart 220 moves in the opposite direction along the longitudinal track 113 to the mother car 210, and the mother car 210 moves along the transverse track 112 to the next longitudinal track 113 to add powder to the next press equipment 2100. Therefore, there is no need to set a corresponding transport mechanism 200 at each press equipment 2100, and the powder feeding of multiple press equipment 2100 of the continuous press 2000 can be realized through one transport mechanism 200, which improves the utilization rate of the transport mechanism 200 and reduces the equipment cost.

[0038] In addition, in other embodiments, the barrel lifting mechanism 120 may also adopt other forms. For example, in one embodiment, the barrel lifting mechanism includes a barrel lifting frame 121 and a grabbing assembly arranged on the barrel lifting frame 121. A rack is arranged on the barrel lifting frame 121, and a gear meshing with the rack and a motor driving the gear to rotate are arranged on the grabbing assembly. The grabbing assembly is driven to rise and fall through the cooperation of the gear and the rack; the grabbing assembly is provided with a lock, and the barrel is grabbed and flipped through the lock; further, a linear guide rail may be arranged on the barrel lifting frame, and a guide rail slider cooperating with the linear guide rail is arranged on the grabbing assembly, so that the grabbing assembly is more stable when lifted vertically.

[0039] There are two barrel lifting mechanisms 120, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the loading platform 110 along the length direction of the transverse track 112. Therefore, the barrel 3000 can be hoisted or removed from the carrier mechanism 200 from both ends of the loading platform 110, which facilitates the replacement of the barrel 3000.

[0040] In this embodiment, two transport mechanisms 200 are provided, and both transport mechanisms 200 move on the loading platform 110, so that the two transport mechanisms 200 respectively load the connecting press 2000 from both ends of the loading platform 110. At the same time, the two transport mechanisms 200 respectively replace the barrel 3000 through the barrel lifting mechanism 120 at both ends of the loading platform 110, thereby improving the feeding efficiency of the connecting press.
