In different situations, a number of balls can be provided in the material receiving channel 106 to reduce friction. As mentioned above, the material passes through the opening 105 through the material receiving channel 106 and enters the material receiving trough 104.
[0034] The driving wheel 102 is rotatably connected to the base 101 via a driven shaft 107. In this example, the driven shaft 107 is as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the driven shaft 107 and the driving wheel 102 are both externally connected to a driver, and the driver can be a motor or a hydraulic motor, etc., which can provide the required power for the driving wheel 102.

Through accurate sensor detection and positioning, the automatic material receiver 1 can accurately align with the discharging equipment at different positions, thereby realizing efficient material reception and transmission.
[0038] Third embodiment
[0039] Small materials are prone to shaking, rolling or deflecting in a conveying channel that is too wide, causing the materials to fall during the conveying process, affecting normal conveying and docking. In addition, small-sized materials may block the channel, especially when there are a large number of materials, which may easily cause accumulation blockage. In order to convey small materials, a material docking assembly disclosed in this embodiment can be referred to Figure 3 It is understood that the material docking assembly includes an automatic material receiver 1 and a material conveyor 3. After the material enters the material receiving trough 104 through the material receiving channel 106, the material is taken out from the material receiving trough 104 and conveyed to the target position.
[0040] The automatic material receiver 1 in this example includes a material receiving trough 104, and the material receiving trough 104 includes four side walls, and the four side walls surround a semi-enclosed cavity with an upper opening 105. One side wall of the material receiving trough 104 is provided with an opening 105, and in this example, the opening 105 is a rectangular opening 105. A material receiving channel 106 extending obliquely upward extends from the opening 105, and the oblique material receiving channel 106 allows the material in the channel to fall into the material receiving trough 104 based on the action of gravity. In different situations, a number of balls can be provided in the material receiving channel 106 to reduce friction. As mentioned above, the material passes through the opening 105 via the material receiving channel 106 and enters the material receiving trough 104.
[0041] As shown in the figure, the automatic material receiving device 1 is equipped with a corresponding material conveyor 3. Figure 3 It is understood that it includes a conveyor belt 201, and the conveyor belt 201 has limit plates 202 on both sides.

When in use, the feeding port 204 and the receiving port 108 are directly opposite to the conveyed material. Through the limiting effect of the limit plates 202, small materials can pass through the feeding channel 203 one by one in sequence without accumulation and blockage, and because the limit plates 202 have a certain height, the problem of small materials falling can also be avoided.
[0042] In some examples, the end of the receiving channel 106 is a receiving port 108, and a sensor assembly 109 is disposed next to the receiving port 108. The sensor assembly 109 array is provided with a plurality of position sensors, and the detection end of the position sensor faces the receiving direction.
[0043] In some examples, the automatic material catcher 1 further includes a material catcher mechanism 2, the bottom of the material catcher mechanism 2 has a base 101, and the driving wheel 102 is arranged below the base 101. In some cases, the driving wheel 102 is rotatably connected to the base 101 through a driven rotating shaft 107. For specific situations, please refer to Figure 2.

In this example, the fastener 215 is a fastening screw with an adjustment handle. When the distance between the limiting plates 202 needs to be adjusted, the fastener 215 can be taken out and re-tightened with a different first through hole 213 and second through hole 214. By adjusting the fastening screw, the operator can easily adjust the distance between the limiting plates 202 to accommodate materials of different sizes or shapes.
[0049] In some examples, the limiting plate 202 and the material receiving channel 106 are both wrapped with soft materials. The soft material can effectively reduce the friction and damage of the material during the conveying process and protect the integrity of the material. Secondly, the soft material can provide additional cushioning and anti-slip effects, making the material more stable and reliable during the conveying process.
