Description of the Drawings

[0016] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the present utility model. Detailed Embodiments

[0017] The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1 , in this embodiment, the present utility model provides a feeding and discharging mechanism, including: a frame 6, an inlet and outlet channel 7 is formed on the frame 6, the upper part of the inlet and outlet channel 7 is open, and the inlet and outlet channel 7 is adapted for a carrier 3 for transporting a material box 4 to enter and exit. The carrier 3 can be selected as an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV).

[0019] A material taking hand 5 is arranged on the frame 6 and can transport the material box 4 from the first position to the second position. The first position is located above the inlet and outlet channel 7 of the frame 6, the second position is located on one side of the first position, and the first position is set as a temporary storage position and the second position is set as a feeding position.

[0020] A supporting hand 1 is arranged on the frame 6, and the supporting hand 1 can transfer the material box 4 between the carrier 3 and the first position.

[0021] Further, the supporting hand 1 includes two oppositely arranged fork arms 8, wherein the distance between the two fork arms 8 is greater than the width of the loading platform of the carrier 3. When loading, when the carrier 3 reaches the entrance of the feeding and discharging channel 7, the supporting hand 1 descends to the lowest position, and the carrier enters the feeding and discharging channel 7, so that the tray 4 is located above the two fork arms 8 of the supporting hand 1. At this time, the supporting hand rises, and the cartridge 4 located on the loading platform of the carrier 3 can be driven to rise to the first position. Similarly, when it is necessary to discharge the cartridge 4, the supporting hand 1 moves downward to transport the cartridge 4 in the first position to the loading platform of the carrier 3. The way for the supporting hand 1 to move up and down can be realized by existing methods such as cylinder drive, belt drive, and gear drive. It can be seen that when the supporting hand 1 moves up and down, the cartridge 4 can be transferred between the carrier 3 and the first position to realize the transportation of the cartridge 4.

[0022] Further, the picking hand 5 includes a plurality of cylinders 9 and hooks 10 connected to the cylinders 9. When the cylinders 9 expand and contract, the hooks 10 can be driven to perform telescopic actions. The cylinders 9 drive the hooks 10 to hook the cartridge 4 to realize the transmission movement of the cartridge 4 between the first position and the second position. The cylinders 9 can be installed on the frame 6, on the sides of the first position and the second position.

[0023] Further, the feeding and discharging mechanism further includes: a first detection device 2 provided on the supporting hand 1, and the first detection device 2 is used to detect whether there is a cartridge 4 at the supporting hand 1, which can avoid repeated feeding. The first detection device 2 is a position sensor.

[0024] Further, the feeding and discharging mechanism further includes: a second detection device and a third detection device both provided on the frame 6. The second detection device is used to detect whether the supporting hand 1 delivers the cartridge 4 to the first position, and the third detection device is used to detect whether there is a cartridge 4 at the second position. Both the second detection device and the third detection device are position sensors.

[0025] When feeding, the carrier 3 drives the cartridge 4 to the entrance of the feeding and discharging channel 7, the supporting hand 1 descends to the lowest position, the carrier 3 drives the cartridge 4 to enter the feeding and discharging channel 7, and the supporting hand 1 rises to transport the cartridge 4 to the first position. The second detection device is used to detect whether the cartridge 4 reaches the first position. When the third detection device detects that there is a cartridge 4 at the second position, the cartridge 4 on the supporting hand 1 is temporarily stored at the first position, and the cartridge 4 at the second position is fed, realizing one-for-one standby for feeding. When there is no cartridge 4 at the second position, the picking hand 5 drives the hook 10 through the cylinder 9 to move the cartridge 4 at the first position to the second position for feeding, and the supporting hand 1 can continue to feed through the carrier. When discharging, the cartridge 4 placed at the second position is moved by the picking hand 5 to the supporting hand 1, and the supporting hand 1 lowers the cartridge 4 and places it on the carrier 3 for transportation by the carrier 3.

[0026] This solution also provides an automatic board matching machine, which includes the above-mentioned feeding and discharging mechanism.

[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the automatic board matching machine includes two feeding and discharging mechanisms, and the feeding and discharging mechanisms are arranged in rows and columns. The feeding and discharging mechanism adopted by the automatic board matching machine of this solution can realize one-for-use and one-for-reserve feeding, avoiding the problem of waiting for materials after the materials are used up, and can improve the board matching efficiency of the automatic board matching machine. In other embodiments of this solution, the number of feeding and discharging mechanisms included in the automatic board matching machine can be other numbers, such as three, four, etc.

[0028] In summary, the beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: the temporary storage of the material box 4 is realized by setting the material taking hand 5, and the material box 4 is lifted and conveyed after the materials in the material box 4 of the material taking hand 5 are used up through the supporting hand 1, improving the feeding and discharging efficiency; the problem of repeated feeding is avoided by setting the first detection device 2.

[0029] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
