[0016] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clear, the implementation mode of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in the first embodiment of the material tray discharge sensing mechanism of the utility model, the sensing mechanism 10 includes a mounting seat 11, a first linear bearing 12 fixedly mounted on the mounting seat 11, a second linear bearing 13 fixedly mounted on the mounting seat 11 and arranged parallel to the first linear bearing 12, a first guide rod 14 that can slide through the first linear bearing 12, a second guide rod 15 that can slide through the second linear bearing 13, a baffle 16 fixedly mounted on the first end of the first guide rod 14 and the first end of the second guide rod 15, a sensing head 17 fixedly mounted on the baffle 16 and parallel to the first guide rod 14 and the second guide rod 15, and a sensing head 17 mounted on the mounting seat 11 opposite to the sensing head 17. A proximity switch 18 is provided, the first guide rod 14, the second guide rod 15 and the sensing head 17 are arranged parallel to each other, the baffle 16 is vertically fixedly connected to the first guide rod 14 and the second guide rod 15, the first end of the sensing head 17 is vertically fixedly connected to the baffle 16, the second end of the sensing head 17 is facing the proximity switch 18, and can move in a direction close to or away from the proximity switch 18, the first guide rod 14 is provided with a first spring that pushes the first guide rod 14 and the baffle 16 to move away from the proximity switch 18, and the second guide rod 15 is provided with a second spring 19 that pushes the second guide rod 15 and the baffle 16 to move away from the proximity switch 18.

[0018] When the tray discharging sensing mechanism of the utility model is used, when the automatic trolley is carrying the tray to prepare to discharge the material onto the material table, the baffle 16 is pushed by the tray, and the first guide rod 14 and the second guide rod 15 move along the first linear bearing 12 and the second linear bearing 13 at the same time, which can ensure that the baffle 16 moves smoothly backwards. At the same time, the baffle 16 drives the induction head 17 to move. After the set displacement is moved, the proximity switch 18 detects the presence of the induction head 17, and sends a signal to the control system through the proximity switch 18 to control the subsequent discharging action. When the material is taken, the baffle 16 is no longer blocked, and the elastic restoring force of the first spring and the second spring 19 pushes the first guide rod 14 and the second guide rod 15 to smoothly and quickly return to the initial position along the first linear bearing 12 and the second linear bearing 13. The baffle 16 also returns to the initial position. At the same time, the induction head 17 is away from the proximity switch 18, and the proximity switch 18 signal is reset to prepare for the next discharging.

[0021] When the baffle 16 is pushed by the material tray, the first guide rod 14 moves along the first linear bearing 12, and the first spring is pushed and compressed by the first baffle. After taking the material, the baffle 16 is no longer blocked by the material tray, and the first spring pushes the first guide rod 14 and the baffle 16 to return to the initial position through the first baffle under the action of its own elastic restoring force. At the initial position, the first baffle abuts against the second end face of the first linear bearing 12.

After taking the material, the baffle plate 16 is no longer blocked by the material tray, and the second spring 19 pushes the second guide rod 15 and the baffle plate 16 to return to the initial position through the second baffle plate 20 under the action of its own elastic restoring force. At the initial position, the second baffle plate 20 abuts against the second end surface of the second linear bearing 13.

[0026] Preferably, the proximity switch 18 is fixedly mounted at the mounting hole 25 by a nut.

[0027] In order to prevent the material tray from sliding slightly on the material table due to uneven ground, a limiting rod 26 extending toward the baffle 16 is fixedly provided on the mounting seat 11 . The limiting rod 26 is arranged parallel to the first guide rod 14 and the second guide rod 15 .

[0028] Furthermore, the baffle 16 includes a straight plate portion 27 and an arc portion 28 , and the first guide rod 14 , the second guide rod 15 and the induction head 17 are all fixedly mounted on the straight plate portion 27 and are vertically disposed therewith.
