The control alarm prompt component is used to control the electric slide rail 401 to start when receiving the start signal so that its mobile end drives the carrier rack to move downward through the magnetic clamping component. The magnetic clamping component is used to conveniently fix and release the L-shaped iron block 303 with a magnetic clamp. The distance measuring component is used to measure the downward movement distance of the mobile end of the electric slide rail 401 and transmit it to the control alarm prompt component for the distance value. When the downward movement distance value set each time is reached, the control alarm prompt component is used to control the electric slide rail 401 to automatically close, so as to achieve the effect of automatically controlling the carrier rack to move down one loading position after receiving each mooncake tray 2. And so on, automatic tray arrangement is realized. In addition, after reaching the maximum distance value set according to the overall loading height of the carrier rack, an alarm is issued to remind personnel to replace the carrier rack.
[0026] Specifically, the control alarm prompt component includes a PLC controller 402 fixed and electrically connected to the right side of the electric slide rail 401, and a sound and light alarm 403 is fixed and electrically connected to the top of the PLC controller 402; the PLC controller 402 and the sound and light alarm 403 are set to cooperate, and the PLC controller 402 is used to receive the start signal and the moving distance value and control the electric slide rail 401 to open and close accordingly.

When the L-shaped iron block 303 is inserted into the rectangular clamping sleeve 408 backwards and the touch switch 410 is squeezed and touched, the touch switch 410 transmits an opening signal to the PLC controller 402. The PLC controller 402 controls the electromagnet 409 to start the magnetic attraction and fixation of the L-shaped iron block 303, so as to achieve the effect of convenient card connection and automatic fixation. When the alarm is heard, the personnel controls the electromagnet 409 to close and release it through the PLC controller 402, and then the carrier rack can be moved forward to drive the L-shaped iron block 303 to separate from the rectangular clamping sleeve 408, so as to facilitate the clamping and splitting to replace the carrier rack.
[0028] Furthermore, the distance measuring component includes a laser distance measuring sensor 404 fixedly connected to the top left side of the electric slide rail 401, and a reflective sheet 405 fixedly connected to the top of the moving end of the electric slide rail 401 is arranged below the laser distance measuring sensor 404. The laser distance measuring sensor 404 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 402. The laser distance measuring sensor 404 and the reflective sheet 405 cooperate with each other, and when the moving end of the electric slide rail 401 moves downward, the reflective sheet 405 will be driven to move downward as a whole. The laser distance measuring sensor 404 measures the distance that the reflective sheet 405 moves downward each time and transmits the distance value to the PLC controller 402. When the loading position distance set each time is reached, the PLC controller 402 controls the electric slide rail 401 to automatically close, thereby achieving the effect of measuring the downward distance for precise control.
[0029] The method of using this embodiment is as follows: the PLC controller 402 is used to pre-set the distance value for each downward movement of the electric slide rail 401 according to the loading spacing between each two adjacent carriers 3, and according to the total vertical distance formed by multiple carriers 3, it is pre-set to control the sound and light alarm 403 to turn on when this total distance is reached, and the belt conveyor 1 is used to transport the mooncake tray 2 to the right, and the mooncake tray 2 is transported to the right to the bottom carrier 3. After the recognition camera 407 recognizes that the mooncake tray 2 is transported to one layer of the carrier 3, it is transmitted to the PLC controller 402 to start the signal, and at this time the PLC controller 402 controls the electric slide rail 401 to start and move its mobile end downward, and the mobile end drives the reflective sheet 405 downward, and the mobile end also passes through the rectangular sleeve 408, the L-shaped iron block 303 and the connecting plate in sequence. 302 drives the tray rack to move downward, so that multiple carriers 3 move downward, and the laser distance sensor 404 measures the downward movement distance of the reflector 405 and transmits the distance value to the PLC controller 402. When the loading position distance set each time is reached, the PLC controller 402 controls the electric slide rail 401 to automatically close. At this time, the belt conveyor 1 continues to transport the next mooncake tray 2 to the right to the aligned carrier 3 at this time. The recognition camera 407 recognizes that the mooncake tray 2 is transported to one layer of the carrier 3 again and transmits the start signal to the PLC controller 402, and measures and moves down one material level again. By analogy, the effect of automatically arranging multiple mooncake trays 2 on the tray rack in multiple layers is achieved, without the need to manually arrange multiple layers one by one, saving time and effort, reducing labor intensity, and improving work efficiency.
[0030] When the plate carrier 3 is moved down to the total distance set according to the plurality of carriers 3, the PLC controller 402 controls the sound and light alarm 403 to turn on, so as to realize the effect of automatically alarming and reminding the personnel after the plates are arranged on the plate carrier; after hearing the alarm, the personnel can control the electromagnet 409 to cut off the power through the PLC controller 402 to release the magnetic fixation state of the L-shaped iron block 303, and then the personnel can directly move the plate carrier forward to drive the L-shaped iron block 303 to separate from the rectangular sleeve 408, and then the separation is completed, and then it can be removed and a new one can be put in. The L-shaped iron block 303 on the carrier rack is inserted into the rectangular sleeve 408 backwards. When the L-shaped iron block 303 squeezes and touches the touch switch 410 backwards, the touch switch 410 transmits an opening signal to the PLC controller 402. The PLC controller 402 controls the electromagnet 409 to start the magnetic attraction and fixation of the L-shaped iron block 303, and controls the electric slide rail 401 to reset, so that it drives the carrier rack to rise and reset. The installation is completed, making it easy to quickly disassemble and replace the new carrier rack after the carrier rack is arranged, which is convenient for personnel to use.
