[0033] The multi-unit automatic material distribution laser coding system according to the embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the multi-unit automatic material distribution laser coding system provided in the embodiments of the present utility model includes a loading and unloading machine 10, at least two conveying units 20 and a coding machine 30. The loading and unloading machine 10 has at least two groups and is arranged at intervals along a first direction for lifting materials to a predetermined position; at least two conveying units 20 are respectively arranged adjacent to the loading and unloading machine 10, and each conveying unit 20 is arranged in sequence along a second direction for conveying materials starting from the loading and unloading machine 10 or conveying the coded materials to the loading and unloading machine 10; the coding machine 30 is arranged between at least two conveying units 20 for grasping materials from the conveying unit 20 for coding or grasping the coded materials to the conveying unit 20.

[0035] The multi-unit automatic material distribution laser coding system provided by the present utility model can lift the material to a predetermined position through the loading and unloading machine 10 and transport it onto the conveyor unit 20, enabling the conveyor unit 20 to transport the material starting from the loading and unloading machine 10. The coding machine 30 can grab the material to complete the coding. After the coding machine 30 finishes coding, it can grab the material onto the conveyor unit 20 so that the conveyor unit 20 transports the coded material to the loading and unloading machine 10 to complete the unloading operation. Thus, there is no need for separate loading equipment or unloading equipment, reducing the occupied space of the whole machine and having higher automation efficiency.

[0036] Referring to Figure 3 As shown, the loading and unloading machine 10 includes an adjacent loading position 11 and unloading position 12, and the loading position 11 is in the same straight line as the conveyor unit 20. Among them, the loading and unloading machine 10 is also equipped with a handling vehicle 50, which is used to transport the material to or from the loading and unloading machine 10. The handling vehicle 50 can be a handcart or an AGV cart. The material is transported to the loading position 11 by the handling vehicle 50 to lift the material to a predetermined position at the loading position 11; after the material is coded, the material placed at the unloading position 12 can be lowered, and the coded material can be transported away by the handling vehicle 50.

[0037] Furthermore, both the loading position 11 and the unloading position 12 are provided with a lifting platform 13 and a positioning module 14. The positioning module 14 is located on both sides of the lifting platform 13 and is used to position and calibrate the material and force the lifting platform 13 to lift the material to a predetermined position; there is also a handling device 40, which is arranged on one side of the loading and unloading machine 10 and is located between the loading position 11 and the unloading position 12.

[0038] In this embodiment, the predetermined position can be on the same horizontal plane as the conveyor unit 20. The lifting platform 13 can rise or fall through a screw rod module or the like. When the material is transported to the loading position 11, the material can be lifted to the predetermined position by the lifting platform 13, and then positioned by the positioning module 14. After the positioning is completed, the material can be transported to the conveyor unit 20 by the handling device 40, enabling the conveyor unit 20 to transport the material to the corresponding coding machine 30 to complete the coding operation; it can be understood that the positioning module 14 can be driven by a cylinder and angle iron or the like to position the four corners of the material, and the handling device 40 can adopt a handling robot or the like to clamp and transport the material onto the conveyor unit 20, making the automation efficiency of the whole machine higher.

[0039] As an alternative embodiment, a temporary storage position 15 is also provided on the side of the unloading position 12, and the temporary storage position 15 is adjacent to the handling device 40. Among them, the temporary storage position 15 can temporarily store the coded material, enabling the handling device 40 to ensure higher handling efficiency during the material handling process.

[0040] Specifically, the coding machine 30 includes a machine body 31 and a transplanting device 32. The transplanting device 32 is provided on the machine body 31 and is movable along a first direction to move above at least two conveyor groups 20.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other in the same plane. The first direction may be along the length direction of the loading and unloading machine 10, and the second direction may be along the length direction of the conveyor group 20. The transplanting device 32 can be moved by means of a lead screw module or the like to approach the conveyor group 20 to pick up the material and transport it into the coding machine 30 for coding processing. After the coding processing is completed, the coded material can be transported back to the conveyor group 20 again, so that the conveyor group 20 transports the material to the position of the unloading station 12, thereby making the overall automation efficiency higher and the operation simpler and more convenient.

[0042] Specifically, the conveyor group 20 includes a plurality of conveyor rollers (not shown in the figure), and the plurality of conveyor rollers are driven by a belt (not shown in the figure); further, the rotation directions of the plurality of conveyor rollers are configured to be counterclockwise or clockwise to drive the material to reciprocate along the second direction.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the conveyor rollers rotate, the material can be driven to move along the second direction on the plurality of conveyor rollers, so that when the material needs coding processing, it can be transported from a predetermined position to the corresponding positions of the respective coding machines 30, and the transplanting device 32 picks up the material to complete the coding operation; after the material completes the coding operation, the transplanting device 32 can transport the material onto the conveyor group 20, so that the conveyor group 20 transports the material to the corresponding position of the handling device 40 through reverse transmission, and then the handling device 40 transports it to the unloading station 12 or the temporary storage position 15, and the overall automation efficiency of the whole machine is higher; it can be understood that the transmission between the conveyor rollers and the belt can adopt existing methods, which will not be elaborated here one by one.
