The electric control box 25 is provided with an unlocking button 24 for starting and closing the electromagnet 28. When the electromagnet 28 is energized, the electromagnet 28 will attract the iron magnet 29 to lock the feeding module 2 to ensure the safety of the equipment during operation; and when loading is required, the unlocking button 24 is pressed to de-energize the electromagnet 28, thereby releasing the locking of the feeding module 2.

[0032] How it works

[0033] When the equipment is connected to the power supply, the electromagnet 28 will be energized to lock the feeding module 2; when feeding is required, the unlocking button 24 is pressed and the electromagnet 28 loses power; the feeding module 2 is then pulled out of the tray-dividing mechanism using the secondary extraction mechanism to place the tray 5 from top to bottom into the limit plate 23, and then the feeding module 2 is pushed in, and the limit plate 23 is located below the tray-dividing mechanism, and then the electromagnet 28 is energized and the manual lock 26 is started to lock the moving plate 212 with the bottom plate 211; then the belt transmission screw lifting mechanism 21 is started to move the top tray 5 to the inner top of the dividing frame 30, and then the dividing cylinder 36 is started, and the second driving rod 33 will move, thereby moving the two driving columns, and then moving the dividing block 32, thereby realizing the two adjacent The material tray 5 is divided; then the belt transmission screw lifting mechanism 21 is started to lower the remaining material tray 5 to a certain height; then when the clamping cylinder 31 is started, the U-shaped block 38, the first driving rod 34 and the L-shaped block 39 will move, thereby moving the two driving columns, and then moving the clamping block 37, thereby achieving the clamping and positioning of the material tray 5; then the material transfer robot 4 is started and the clamping cylinder 31 is started in reverse at the same time, thereby achieving the transfer of the top material tray 5; then the belt transmission screw lifting mechanism 21 is started to load the remaining material trays 5 again, and this cycle is repeated to achieve automatic loading of the material tray 5; therefore, while realizing the automatic loading of the material tray 5, the utility model greatly reduces the structural dimensions of the tray dividing module 3 and improves the compactness of the equipment structure.
