[0035] When the utility model performs the feeding work of the junction box, the loading box 8 is placed on the belt at the first group of conveying devices 6 for feeding. The belt conveying motor 604 drives the driving roller 608. Since the belt 602 is tightly nested on the outer sides of the driving roller 608 and the driven roller 606, the driving roller 608 and the driven roller 606 drive the belt 602 to move. The loading box 8 is conveyed by the belt to the second group of conveying devices 6 installed at the upper end of the support frame 701 until the loading box 8 touches the baffle 9. At this time, the loading box 8 is close to the industrial robot 10, and then the industrial robot 10 grabs the junction box materials in the loading box 8. When the materials in the loading box 8 are completely grabbed, the motor 508 drives through the reducer 505, and the lead screw in the lead screw slide table 501 rotates. The lead screw drives the 3D camera 507 installed on the sliding frame of the lead screw slide table 501 to slide left and right, and moves to directly above the loading box 8 to automatically detect the quantity status of the materials in the loading box 8. If the loading box 8 is empty, the hydraulic cylinder 704 pushes the support frame 701 bolted to the front end of the sliding frame 705 downward until the support frame 701 touches the lower limit damper 707. The conveying device 6 carried on the support frame 701 is level with the third group of conveying devices 6. The belt 602 of the second group of conveying devices 6 conveys the loading box 8 to the belt 602 of the third group of conveying devices 6, completing the discharge work of the empty loading box 8.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the number of the side plates 601 is two groups. The side plates 601 are symmetrically distributed on the left side and the right side of the belt 602. Each group of side plates 601 is provided with convex columns. The front end of the side plate 601 is provided with an inclined plate structure with a 15-degree inclination angle, which can increase the width of the loading box 8 entering between the two groups of side plates 601, prevent the loading box 8 from getting stuck at the inlet end of the conveying device 6, and facilitate the smooth guiding and conveying of the loading box 8 on the belt 602.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the bracket 605 is an L-shaped structure. A through hole is provided at a position near the top of the front side of the L-shaped structure of the bracket 605. A threaded through hole is provided at the center position of the top of the L-shaped structure of the bracket 605. The threaded through hole of the bracket 605 is vertically penetrated with the through hole of the bracket 605. The convex column of the side plate 601 is inserted into the through hole of the bracket 605, and the clamping bolt 603 is meshed and connected in the threaded through hole of the bracket 605. The side plate 601 can slide left and right along the through hole of the bracket 605, and the conveying width of the conveying device 6 can be flexibly positioned and adjusted according to the width of the loading box 8.

[0038] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the support frame 701 is an L-shaped folding plate structure. Two sets of frame plates in the shape of triangles are provided at positions near the left and right ends on the inner side of the L-shaped folding plate structure of the support frame 701. By using the stability principle of triangles, the support frame 701 stably supports the materials in the conveying device 6 and the material loading box 8. A through groove structure that penetrates up and down is provided on the upper side surface of the support frame 701. The through groove of the support frame 701 not only effectively reduces the self-weight of the support frame 701, but also can effectively disperse stress, increase the strength of the support frame 701, and improve the load-bearing capacity of the support frame 701.

[0039] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, two sets of chutes that are symmetrically distributed left and right are provided on the rear side surface of the carriage 705. The guide rail 703 is embedded inside the chutes of the carriage 705, enabling the carriage 705 to move vertically and directionally along the guide rail 703, ensuring that the support frame 701 carrying the conveying device 6 and the material loading box 8 is lifted stably.

[0040] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of the lighting lamps 506 is two. The lighting lamps 506 are symmetrically distributed on the left side surface and the right side surface of the lead screw slide 501, ensuring that the visual observation environment of the 3D camera 507 is in a bright and clear state.

[0041] The installation methods, connection methods, or setting methods of all the above components are common mechanical methods, such as welding, threaded connection, screw connection, etc. Moreover, the specific structures, models, and coefficient indexes of all their components are their own technologies, and any implementation that can achieve their beneficial effects is acceptable. The above-mentioned lead screw slide 501, reducer 505, lighting lamp 506, 3D camera 507, motor 508, lower limit damper 707, upper limit damper 708, and industrial robot 10 are all common devices on the market. When purchased and used, they only need to be connected according to the user manual purchased together, so they will not be elaborated here.

[0042] The technical solution of the present utility model is not limited within the scope of the embodiments of the present utility model. The technical content not described in detail in the present utility model is well-known technology.
