The second placement plate 104 is slidably and lifted and lowered at the top of the rotating seat 101, and the sliding direction is opposite to the sliding direction of the first placement plate 102. A second inclined surface 105 for fitting with the first inclined surface 103 is arranged at one end of the second placement plate 104. There are two states between the second placement plate 104 and the first placement plate 102. The first state is In the retracted state, specifically, the second placement plate 104 is located below the first placement plate 102; the second state is the extended state, specifically, the second placement plate 104 is arranged in parallel with the first placement plate 102, and the top of the second placement plate 104 is flush with the top of the first placement plate 102; a plurality of second placement grooves 18 are arranged on the top of the second placement plate 104, which is conducive to placing the lens firmly on the second placement plate 104; the push piece 106 is reciprocatingly slidably set on the top of the first placement plate 102 through the second cylinder 107, and when the top of the second placement plate 104 is flush with the top of the first placement plate 102, it is slidably set on the top of the second placement plate 104. In this embodiment, the number of push members 106 corresponds one to one with the number of second placement slots 18, and the push members 106 can be clamping claws, so that not only can the lenses placed in the second placement slots 18 be pushed to the first placement slots of the placement rack 2, but the lenses in the first placement slots can also be clamped by the clamping claws, and the lenses can be placed in the second placement slots 18 by contracting the cylinder, realizing two-way access, thereby effectively realizing the automatic access function of the storage cabinet.

[0046] The first placement plate 102 and the second placement plate 104 are linked by a transmission mechanism 11, and the transmission mechanism 11 includes a first gear 111, a first sliding plate 112 and a second sliding plate 114. The first gear 111 is rotatably arranged on the top of the rotating seat 101 by a first motor 116. Specifically, the first motor is fixedly arranged inside the rotating seat 101, and the output shaft of the first motor 116 extends to the top of the rotating seat 101 and is fixedly connected to the first gear 111; the first sliding plate 112 is slidably arranged on the top of the rotating seat 101, and one end is fixedly connected to the first placement plate 102. A first rack 113 is fixedly arranged on one side edge of the first sliding plate 112 along its length direction. 13 is meshed with the first gear 111, the second sliding plate 114 is slidably set on the top of the rotating seat 101, and is located on the side of the first rack 113 away from the first sliding plate 112, the second sliding plate 114 is close to the side of the first sliding plate 112 and is fixedly provided with a second rack 115 along its length direction, the second rack 115 is meshed with the first gear 111, and the second placement plate 104 is lifted and set on the top of the second sliding plate 114. Specifically, a plurality of guide rods are fixedly set at the bottom of the second placement plate 104, and a plurality of through holes are opened on the second sliding plate 114. The guide rods are slidably penetrated in the through holes along the vertical direction to realize the sliding connection between the second placement plate 104 and the second sliding plate 114.

[0047] A limit plate 12 is fixedly set on the top of the rotating seat 101. There are two limit plates 12, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second placement plate 104. A limit slot 13 is provided on the two limit plates 12. The limit slot 13 includes a horizontal section and an inclined section. One end of the inclined section is connected to the horizontal section, and the other end gradually rises in the direction away from the connection between the first placement plate 102 and the first sliding plate 112. Guide rods 14 are symmetrically fixed on both side surfaces of the second placement plate 104. The guide rods 14 are slidably penetrated in the limit slot 13, which is beneficial to limit the sliding path of the second placement plate 104.

[0048] A second gear 15 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the rotating seat 101, and the central axis of the second gear 15 coincides with the central axis of the first gear 111. Specifically, the second gear 15 is sleeved on the outside of the output shaft of the first motor and does not rotate with the output shaft. A second motor 17 is fixedly provided on the movable seat 9, and a third gear 16 is fixedly provided on the output shaft of the second motor 17. The third gear 16 is meshed with the second gear 15. Through the cooperation of the third gear 16 and the second gear 15, the rotating seat 101 can be rotated on the movable seat 9, and the structure is simple and reasonable.

[0049] In this embodiment, when storing the lenses, they are first placed in a square box for easy storage. The widths of the first placement groove and the second placement groove 18 match the width of the box, and the length of the second placement groove 18 is greater than the length of the box. When the box is placed in the second placement groove 18, it does not occupy the entire space of the second placement plate 104. The second placement plate 104 can also retract a portion to the bottom of the first placement plate 102, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the total length of the second placement plate 104 and the first placement plate 102.

[0050] In the initial state, the movable seat 9 is located at the lower right corner of the cabinet 1. Figure 2 As shown, the extended end of the second placement plate 104 faces the installation groove 3.

[0051] When storing, first place the square box containing the lenses from the access port 4 into the access hopper 5, then the three-axis manipulator 6 clamps the box in the access hopper 5 onto the conveyor belt 7, and the conveyor belt 7 transports it in the direction close to the second manipulator 8. At this time, the movable seat 9 moves to one side of the second manipulator 8, and then the first motor 116 drives the first gear 111 to rotate, and the first gear 111 drives the first rack 113 and the second rack 115 to slide synchronously in the opposite direction, so that the first placement plate 102 and the second placement plate 104 slide in the opposite direction. Since the limit rods at both ends of the second placement plate 104 are slidably arranged in the limit slide groove 13, the sliding path of the second placement plate 104 is synchronized with the extension direction of the limit slide groove 13. Therefore, when the first placement plate 102 and the second placement plate 104 slide in the opposite direction, the limit rod first slides in the horizontal section of the limit slide groove 13, and when the limit rod slides to the inclined section, the second placement plate 10 4 slides upwardly along with the sliding of the limit rod until the second inclined surface 105 of the second placing plate 104 is completely fitted with the first inclined surface 103 of the first placing plate 102, and the first placing plate 102 and the second placing plate 104 stop sliding. At this time, the top surface of the second placing plate 104 is flush with the top surface of the first placing plate 102, and the second placing plate 104 is close to the second manipulator 8, and then the second manipulator 8 transports the box to the second placing groove 18 on the second placing plate 104. After the second placing plate 104 receives the box, the first gear 111 rotates in the opposite direction to drive the first placing plate 102 and the second placing plate 104 to gather and slide a certain distance toward the middle, so that when the second placing plate 104 is placed with the box, the total length of the first placing plate 102 and the second placing plate 104 is minimized, saving the running space of the rotating seat 101, thereby saving the overall space of the storage cabinet, reducing the volume of the storage cabinet, and having strong practicality.

[0052] In this state, the movable seat 9 can identify the specifications of the box (this is the prior art) and slide to the position of the corresponding placement rack 2. If the box needs to be placed on the placement rack 2 on the front side wall, the second placement slot 18 is directly made to correspond to the first placement slot at the corresponding position. If the box needs to be placed on the placement rack 2 on the rear side wall, the second motor 17 is started to drive the third gear 16 to rotate, the third gear 16 drives the second gear 15 to rotate, and the second gear 15 drives the rotating seat 101 to rotate 180 degrees, so that the protruding end of the second placement plate 104 is close to the placement rack 2 on the rear side wall, and the second placement slot 18 corresponds to the first placement slot at the corresponding position; when the second placement slot 18 corresponds to the first placement slot at the corresponding position, the second cylinder 107 is started to drive the push member 106 to slide, so that the push member 106 pushes the box in the second placement slot 18 into the corresponding first placement slot, and then the components are reset to complete the storage. The steps of taking out the lens are opposite to the steps of storing the lens mentioned above, and will not be repeated here.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
