[0081] Optionally, the second conveying section 14 extends along the width direction of the housing. This can leave a relatively large space for arranging other components, such as the later transfer device 18, identification device and code scanning device 19, etc.

[0082] It can be understood that the first conveying section 13 and / or the second conveying section 14 can also extend along the length direction of the housing.

[0083] Optionally, the conveying device further includes a first inclined track 15, which is connected between the outlet end of the first conveying section 13 and the inlet end of the second conveying section 14. Along the direction from the first conveying section 13 to the second conveying section 14, the first inclined track 15 slopes downward; wherein, the first inclined track 15 is located on the side of the second feeding port 12 facing the feeding cavity, and the upper end of the first inclined track 15 is connected to the second feeding port 12.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the conveying directions of the first conveying section 13 and the second conveying section 14 are different, it is not convenient to set a conveying section between the first conveying section 13 and the second conveying section 14. A first inclined track 15 is provided between the outlet end of the first conveying section 13 and the inlet end of the second conveying section 14, and the outlet end of the first conveying section 13 is higher than the inlet end of the first conveying section 13. In this way, the first inclined track 15 can be inclined, so that the workpiece 60 to be conveyed flowing out of the first conveying section 13 can flow onto the first inclined track 15, and then flow to the inlet end of the second conveying section 14 under the action of gravity along the first inclined track 15, and then move along with the second conveying section 14. Thus, the conveying of the workpiece 60 to be conveyed is realized. The second feeding port 12 corresponds to the upper end of the first inclined track 15, so that the workpiece to be conveyed replenished by the second feeding port 12 can directly enter the second conveying section 14 along the first inclined track 15, realizing multi-directional feeding.

[0085] Optionally, both the first conveying section 13 and the second conveying section 14 slope upward along the conveying direction.

[0086] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, both the first conveying section 13 and the second conveying section 14 are set to a moving mode of climbing upward, which can ensure the speed uniformity of the workpiece 60 to be conveyed, and at the same time make the position of the outlet end of each conveying section higher, facilitating entry into the next conveying section and realizing cooperation with the next conveying section.

[0087] Optionally, the conveying directions of the first conveying section 13 and the second conveying section 14 are opposite.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the conveying directions of the first conveying section 13 and the second conveying section 14 are opposite, so that the first conveying section 13 and the second conveying section 14 can be arranged side by side, reducing the length of the conveying section. In this way, multiple conveying sections can be reasonably arranged in the housing, realizing the miniaturization of the feeding device 10 while realizing the transmission process.

[0089] Optionally, the outlet end of the first conveying section 13 is located above the first end of the first inclined track 15. The second end of the first inclined track 15 is located above the second conveying section 14. The second feeding port 12 is communicated with the third end of the first inclined track 15. Along the direction from the third end of the first inclined track 15 to the second end of the first inclined track 15, the first inclined track 15 slopes downward.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the outlet end of the first conveying section 13 is higher than the first inclined track 15, so that the piece 60 to be conveyed in the first conveying section 13 can directly fall into the first inclined track 15 and then slide along the first inclined track 15. The outlet end of the first inclined track 15 is higher than the second conveying section 14, so that the piece 60 at the outlet of the first inclined track 15 can directly slide into the second conveying section 14. At the same time, the second feeding port 12 is located at the third end of the first inclined track 15, that is, at the highest point of the first inclined track 15, which is convenient for the movement of the piece 60 fed from the second feeding port.

[0091] Optionally, the conveying device further includes a third conveying section 17, and the feeding device 10 further includes an identification device. The third conveying section 17 is connected to the outlet end of the second conveying section 14; the third conveying section 17 is communicated with the outlet end of the second conveying section 14; the identification device is arranged on the third conveying section 17 for identifying the piece 60 to be conveyed on the third conveying section 17.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the third conveying section 17 is provided with an identification device, so that the piece 60 fed from the feeding port passes through the first conveying section 13 and the second conveying section 14 and runs to the third conveying section 17 for identification to identify the information of the piece 60 and ensure that the piece 60 matches the requirement.

[0093] Optionally, the conveying device further includes a second inclined track 16. The second inclined track 16 is connected to the outlet end of the second conveying section 14 and slopes downward along the direction away from the second conveying section 14.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the second conveying section 14 conveys upward, the second inclined track 16 is arranged at the outlet end of the second conveying section 14, so that the piece 60 sent out from the third conveying section 17 can slide along the second inclined track 16 under the action of gravity to the third conveying section 17 and then move along with the third conveying section 17 for scanning.

[0095] Optionally, the feeding device 10 further includes a photoelectric detection switch 161. The photoelectric detection switch 161 is provided at the outlet end of the second inclined track 16 or on the third conveying section 17 for detecting the number of workpieces 60 to be conveyed on the third conveying section 17. Wherein, the photoelectric detection switch 161 is electrically connected to the second conveying section 14. When the number of workpieces 60 to be conveyed on the third conveying section 17 is greater than or equal to a preset number, the photoelectric detection switch 161 controls the second conveying section 14 to stop conveying.

[0096] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the photoelectric detection switch 161 can detect the number of workpieces 60 to be conveyed to the third conveying section 17. When the number of workpieces 60 to be conveyed on the third conveying section 17 is greater than or equal to a preset number, the photoelectric detection switch 161 controls the second conveying section 14 to stop conveying, so as to avoid the accumulation of workpieces 60 on the third conveying section 17 and affect the normal rotational conveying of workpieces 60.

[0097] Optionally, the first conveying section 13, the second conveying section 14, and the third conveying section 17 are all conveyor belts.

[0098] Optionally, the outlet end of the first conveying section 13 is higher than the height of the second conveying section 14, and the height of the third conveying section 17 is less than the height of the third conveying section 17. This can reduce the length of the second inclined track 16 and reserve enough space for the third conveying section 17 to facilitate inoculation such as identification on the third conveying section 17.

[0099] Optionally, the third conveying section 17 extends along the length direction of the housing, so as to ensure the length of the third conveying section 17 and ensure that the third conveying section 17 of the third conveying section 17 is higher than the inlet end of the first conveying section 13.

[0100] Optionally, the feeding device 10 further includes a baffle 110. The baffle 110 is provided on the third conveying section 17. The baffle 110 is located on one side of the identification device and is used to abut against the workpiece 60 to be conveyed and flatten the workpiece 60 to be conveyed, so that the workpiece 60 to be conveyed moves to the identification device in a flat and non-stacked manner on the third conveying section 17. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the related art, it is necessary to set up a three-dimensional camera to observe the height of the workpiece 60 to be conveyed, and then adjust the height of the transfer device 18 that clamps or adsorbs the workpiece 60 to be conveyed so that the height of the workpiece 60 to be conveyed matches the height of the identification device. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the baffle 110 is provided on the third conveying section 17 and is located on one side of the identification device. When the third conveying section 17 drives the workpiece 60 to be conveyed to the baffle 110, the baffle 110 can flatten the workpiece 60 to be conveyed and avoid stacking of the workpiece 60 to be conveyed. In this way, the workpiece 60 to be conveyed flowing through the baffle 110 all moves to the identification device at the same height, which is convenient for the identification device to identify. There is no need to adjust the height of the workpiece 60 to be conveyed separately. In this way, the feeding device 10 of the embodiment of the present disclosure does not need to set up a three-dimensional camera, which can greatly reduce the cost.

[0101] Optionally, the baffle 110 is arc-shaped, and the arc opening faces away from the identification device.

[0102] This can increase the contact area between the baffle 110 and the workpiece to be conveyed 60, and increase the number of workpieces to be conveyed 60 placed flat.

[0103] Optionally, the baffle 110 is spaced above the third conveying section 17, and the workpieces to be conveyed 60 move between the baffle 110 and the third conveying section 17 after being placed flat.

[0105] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the transfer device 18 can clamp or adsorb the workpiece to be conveyed 60, and then the transfer device 18 can drive the workpiece to be conveyed 60 to move in the feeding cavity after clamping or adsorbing the workpiece to be conveyed 60, so as to achieve more inoculations. Here, the transfer device 18 can drive the workpiece to be conveyed 60 to the code scanning area for code scanning, so as to facilitate the registration and recording of the workpiece to be conveyed 60, and facilitate the workstation to obtain the information of the workpiece to be conveyed 60 to judge whether the information is accurate.

[0106] Optionally, one end of the third conveying section 17 is connected to the first conveying section 13, and the other end of the third conveying section 17 corresponds to the code scanning area. The feeding device 10 further includes a driving device and a controller. The driving device is drivingly connected to the third conveying section 17 and can drive the third conveying section 17 to move from one end of the third conveying section 17 to the other end, or drive the third conveying section 17 to move from the other end of the third conveying section 17 to one end; the controller is electrically connected to the driving device and the identification device, and the controller is configured to control the third conveying section 17 to move along the direction from the other end of the third conveying section 17 to one end of the third conveying section 17 when the identification device fails to identify the workpiece to be conveyed 60, so as to transfer the workpiece to be conveyed 60 with identification failure to the first conveying section 13.

[0107] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, one end of the third conveying section 17 can communicate with the first conveying section 13, and the other end corresponds to the identification device. Thus, when the workpiece to be conveyed 60 moves from the second conveying section 14 to the third conveying section 17, the third conveying section 17 drives the workpiece to be conveyed 60 to move towards the other end of the third conveying section. During the movement, it passes through the identification device. After the identification device successfully identifies it, the transfer device 18 can transfer the successfully identified workpiece to be conveyed 60 to the scanning area for the next inoculation. If the identification device fails to identify, at this time, the controller can control the driving device to move the third conveying section in the reverse direction, driving the workpiece to be conveyed 60 towards one end of the third conveying section. Then, the workpiece to be conveyed 60 that fails to be identified can enter the first conveying section 13 from one end of the third conveying section. In this way, the workpiece to be conveyed 60 that fails to be identified can be transported again from the first conveying section, sequentially pass through the second conveying section 14, and then be transported to the third conveying section 17 for identification. This can perform multiple identifications on the workpiece to be conveyed 60 that fails to be identified, greatly improving the identification success rate. Optionally, one end of the third conveying section 17 is higher than the inlet end of the first conveying section 13, so that the workpiece to be conveyed 60 that fails to be identified at one end of the third conveying section 17 can automatically fall into the first conveying section 13.

[0108] Optionally, the third conveying section 17 is further provided with a detection device for detecting the workpiece to be conveyed 60 that is stuck or stays on the third conveying section 17. When the detection device detects the workpiece to be conveyed 60 that is stuck or stays, the controller also controls the third conveying section 17 to convey in the direction from the other end to one end, so as to send these workpieces to be conveyed 60 back to the first conveying section 13 for re - transportation and identification.

[0109] Optionally, the transfer device 18 can move to the position corresponding to the second conveying section 14. The controller is electrically connected to the transfer device 18. The controller is configured to control the transfer device 18 to transfer the workpiece to be conveyed 60 that fails to be scanned by the scanning device 19 to the second conveying section 14 when the scanning device 19 fails to scan the workpiece to be conveyed 60. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the transfer device 18 can move to the position of the second conveying section 14. Thus, when the transfer device 18 drives the workpiece to be conveyed 60 to be scanned in the scanning area, if there is a workpiece to be conveyed 60 that fails to be scanned, the transfer device 18 can transfer the workpiece to be conveyed 60 to the second conveying section 14, so that the workpiece to be conveyed 60 that fails to be scanned can be re - conveyed, identified, and re - scanned, which can also improve the scanning success rate.

[0110] Optionally, the transfer device includes a grasping arm and a base. The grasping arm and the base are connected. The grasping arm can move in six directions relative to the base within the feeding cavity. Among them, the scanning area and the second conveying section 14 are respectively located at both ends in the length direction of the base, and the third conveying section 17 is located on one side in the width direction of the base, so that the grasping arm can move among the second conveying section 14, the third conveying section 17, and the identification device.

[0111] Optionally, the feeding cavity further defines a temporary storage area 111, which is communicated with the third conveying section 17 and the transfer device 18. The temporary storage area 111 is used to receive the to-be-conveyed items 60 for which the identification fails and / or the code scanning fails for a preset number of times.

[0112] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when there are to-be-conveyed items 60 that cannot be identified or scanned all the time, these to-be-conveyed items 60 can be transferred to the temporary storage area 111 through the third conveying section 17 or the transfer device 18, so as to be transferred out of the feeding cavity for further processing.

[0113] Optionally, when the number of the to-be-conveyed items 60 in the first conveying section 13 and the second conveying section 14 is less than a preset number, and the number of times of identification and / or code scanning failure of the first target to-be-conveyed item exceeds a threshold, the controller is configured to control the third conveying section 17 or the transfer device 18 to transfer the first target to-be-conveyed item into the temporary storage area 111.

[0114] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first target to-be-conveyed item with identification and / or code scanning failure can return to the first conveying section 13 or the second conveying section 14 multiple times for re-conveying and then undergo identification and scanning. When there are only a small number of to-be-conveyed items 60 left on the entire conveying device 30, after the first target to-be-conveyed item fails in identification or code scanning multiple times, it can be transferred to the temporary storage area 111 for recycling.

[0115] Optionally, the temporary storage area 111 is located at the other end of the third conveying section 17, and its height is less than that of the other end of the third conveying section 17, so that the to-be-conveyed items 60 on the third conveying section 17 can automatically fall into the temporary storage area 111.

[0116] Optionally, the housing is provided with an outlet of the temporary storage area 111, and the bottom wall of the temporary storage area 111 slopes downward from the third conveying section 17 towards the outlet of the temporary storage area 111, so as to facilitate the discharge of the to-be-conveyed items 60 in the temporary storage area 111.

[0117] Optionally, the code scanning device 19 includes a code scanning platform and a plurality of code scanners 192. The number of the code scanners 192 is multiple, and the multiple code scanners 192 are sequentially arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the code scanning platform to improve the code scanning success rate.

[0118] Optionally, the surface of the first conveying section 13 is convexly provided with first convex ribs 131.

Optionally, the surface of the second conveying section 14 is convexly provided with second convex ribs 141. The number of the second convex ribs 141 is multiple, and the multiple second convex ribs 141 are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the second conveying section 14 on the second conveying section 14. In this way, when the conveying section moves upward, the corresponding convex ribs can support the piece to be conveyed 60 and drive the piece to be conveyed 60 to move upward, avoiding the piece to be conveyed 60 from rolling down or separating from the second conveying section 14.

[0119] Optionally, the feeding cavity is further provided with a discharge port 112. The feeding device 10 further includes a discharge channel 113. The discharge channel 113 is arranged at the discharge port 112, extends to the outside of the housing, and communicates with the scanning area. The transfer device 18 can transfer the piece to be conveyed 60 to the discharge channel 113; wherein, the discharge channel 113 slopes downward in a direction away from the scanning area and slopes toward the left or the right.

[0120] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the discharge port 112 can separate the piece to be conveyed 60 in the feeding cavity from the feeding device 10. The transfer device 18 can transfer the piece to be conveyed 60 to the discharge channel 113, and then slide along the discharge channel 113 to slide out of the feeding device 10. The discharge channel 113 slopes downward in a direction away from the scanning area, so that the piece to be conveyed 60 can slide downward under the action of gravity to separate from the feeding device 10. At the same time, the discharge channel 113 also slopes to the left or the right, so that the pieces to be conveyed 60 can be concentrated on the left or the right, and then move downward to discharge from the discharge channel 113. This can avoid the piece to be conveyed 60 from rotating or shifting, so that the conveyed piece can keep the length direction consistent with the movement direction, so that the piece to be conveyed 60 can be discharged at the same angle and direction, which is convenient for maintaining the safety and transfer effect of the piece to be conveyed 60, and is also convenient for docking with the storage device 20.

[0121] Optionally, the transfer device 18 can identify the direction of the piece to be conveyed 60, so that the piece to be conveyed 60 enters the discharge channel 113 in a preset orientation, so as to improve the uniformity of discharging. For example, when the piece to be conveyed 60 is a vaccine box, the transfer piece can transfer the vaccine boxes to the discharge channel 113 in a direction parallel to the length direction of the movement direction.

[0122] Optionally, the bottom wall of the discharge channel 113 is a flow strip, which can improve the smoothness of the flow.

[0123] Optionally, the discharge channel 113 includes a discharge bottom wall and a discharge side wall.

[0125] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the discharge baffle 114 can open or close the outlet of the discharge channel 113. The baffle 110 can automatically open the discharge baffle 114 through the drive mechanism 116. When closing is required, the drive mechanism 116 stops driving the discharge baffle 114, and the elastic member 115 can drive the discharge baffle 114 to automatically rebound and close the outlet end of the discharge channel 113.

[0126] Optionally, the discharge baffle 114 is rotatably connected to the discharge channel 113. When the discharge baffle 114 twists, one end of the discharge baffle 114 can rotate out of the discharge channel 113 to facilitate the discharge of the discharge channel 113. The discharge baffle 114 can also twist to block the discharge of the discharge channel 113.

[0127] Optionally, the drive mechanism 116 is an electromagnetic structure. When the electromagnetic mechanism is energized, it can drive the discharge baffle 114 to open the discharge channel 113. After the electromagnetic mechanism is powered off, the discharge baffle 114 is disconnected from the drive mechanism 116, and under the drive of the elastic member 115, it blocks the outlet end of the discharge channel 113.

[0128] Optionally, the discharge baffle 114 is disposed at the end of the discharge bottom wall facing away from the replenishment cavity.

[0129] Optionally, rollers are further provided at the bottom of the replenishment device 10 so that the replenishment device 10 can be moved to facilitate cooperation with storage devices 20 at different positions.

[0130] Optionally, as Figures 3 to 5CAs shown in the figure, the storage device 20 includes a housing 17, a chute 26, and a manipulator 25. The housing 17 defines a storage space 21 having a feed port 211 and a discharge port 112. The chute 26 is disposed in the storage space 21 and is inclined downward in the direction from the discharge port 112 to the feed port 211. The chute 26 is configured with a plurality of chutes for placing the items to be conveyed 60. The manipulator 25 is located on one side of the housing 17 and corresponds to the feed port 211, and can be docked with any one of the plurality of chutes for conveying the items to be conveyed 60 into the chute.

[0131] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, an inclined chute 26 is provided in the storage device 20, so that the manipulator 25 can convey the items to be conveyed 60 into any chute. The chute 26 is inclined, so that the items to be conveyed 60 can slide along the chute under the action of gravity to the discharge port 112, and then be discharged from the discharge port 112 out of the storage device 20.

[0132] Optionally, the manipulator 25 is provided with a docking portion, and the docking portion can be docked with the outlet end of the discharge channel 113 to receive the items to be conveyed 60 delivered by the replenishing device 10. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the docking portion of the manipulator 25 can correspond to the outlet end of the discharge channel 113, so that the conveyed items sliding out along the discharge channel 113 can flow into the docking portion of the manipulator 25, and then enter the target chute along with the movement of the manipulator 25 from the docking portion.

[0133] Optionally, the docking portion includes a docking chute 251 and a docking slider 252. The docking slider 252 is disposed in the docking chute 251, and the docking slider 252 and a side wall of the docking chute 251 can define a docking channel 253. Among them, the docking slider 252 is movably disposed in the docking chute 251 and can adjust the width of the docking channel 253 so that the width of the docking channel 253 matches the width of the items to be conveyed 60.

[0134] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the docking slider 252 can move relative to the docking chute 251, and thus can adjust the width of the docking channel 253. In this way, the storage device 20 can obtain the size of the target conveyed item discharged from the discharge port 112 of the replenishing device 10 through the controller, and then control the movement of the docking slider 252 to adjust the width of the docking chute 251, so as to ensure that the docking chute 251 matches the size of the target conveyed item, avoid the target conveyed item from shifting or rotating, and further enable the target conveyed item to enter the chute in a consistent direction.

[0135] Optionally, the docking channel 253 includes an adjustment channel 254 and a transportation channel 255. The transportation channel 255 extends in a quasi-straight line. The adjustment channel 254 is connected to the side of the transportation channel 255 facing the discharge channel 113, and the width of the adjustment channel 254 gradually decreases along the side away from the discharge channel 113.

[0136] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the width of the adjustment channel 254 at the inlet end of the docking channel 253 is relatively large, which facilitates the target conveying member to enter the docking channel 253. Along the conveying direction, the width of the adjustment channel 254 gradually decreases, which can adjust the direction of the target conveying member. After the target conveying member enters the transportation channel 255, the length of the to-be-conveyed member 60 can match the transportation channel 255, so that the extension directions of the target conveying members are consistent, facilitating the transfer to the slideway 26.

[0137] Optionally, the docking slideway 251 is inclined downward in the direction close to the slideway 26.

[0138] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the docking slideway 251 is inclined downward in the direction close to the slideway 26. In this way, when the manipulator 25 is located at the corresponding chute, the to-be-conveyed member 60 can slide into the chute along the docking slideway 251 under the action of gravity.

[0139] Optionally, the manipulator 25 further includes a discharge baffle 110. The discharge baffle 110 is located at the outlet end of the docking channel 253. When the manipulator 25 moves, the discharge baffle 110 closes the outlet end of the docking channel 253 to prevent the to-be-conveyed member 60 in the docking slideway 251 from falling. After the manipulator 25 is docked with the corresponding chute, the discharge baffle 110 opens to enable the to-be-conveyed member 60 to enter the corresponding chute.

[0140] Optionally, the number of the slideways 26 is multiple. The multiple slideways 26 are sequentially arranged at intervals along the height direction of the housing 17. A ventilation gap is formed between adjacent slideways 26. The slideway 26 is configured with a chute for placing the to-be-conveyed member 60; the storage device 20 further includes a fan 22. The fan 22 is arranged in the storage space 21. The fan 22 can drive the air flow in the storage space 21 to flow through the ventilation gap and then flow out from the air outlet 214, and can drive the air flow outside the storage space 21 to flow into the storage space 21 through the air inlet 213, so as to form a circulating air duct inside and outside the housing 17.

[0141] In the storage device 20 in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the storage space 21 is provided with an air inlet 213 and an air outlet 214. In this way, the fan 22 can drive the air flow in the storage space 21 and the air flow outside the housing 17 to form a circulating air duct. In this way, the fan 22 can drive the air flow to take away the temperature in the storage space 21, thereby maintaining the temperature of the storage space 21. The slideways 26 in the storage space 21 are arranged in multiple layers. The fan 22 can drive the air flow to flow in the ventilation gaps between the multiple slideways 26. In this way, the air flow velocity between the slideways 26 can be increased, the heat dissipation can be accelerated, the temperature of the storage space 21 can be maintained, and the storage effect of the to-be-conveyed member 60 such as vaccines can be improved.

[0142] Optionally, the storage device 20 further includes a partition 23 located within the storage space 21. The partition 23 divides the storage space 21 into an air inlet chamber 215 and an air outlet chamber 216. The air outlet chamber 216 is located above the air inlet chamber 215, and the slideway 26 is located within the air outlet chamber 216. Among them, the fan 22 is provided on the partition 23 and above the partition 23, and the fan 22 drives the air flow in the air inlet chamber 215 to flow towards the air outlet chamber 216.

[0143] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the partition 23 divides the storage space 21 into two parts. In this way, the slideway 26 is placed in the air outlet chamber 216, and the fan 22 is located in the air outlet chamber 216. This can improve the driving effect of the fan 22 on the air flow in the air outlet chamber 216, thereby facilitating the acceleration of the air flow velocity in the slideway 26 and the ventilation gap, accelerating heat dissipation, and maintaining the temperature of the storage space 21. Moreover, the air inlet chamber 215 and the return air chamber are separated, which can avoid air flow disorder, realize a circulating air duct, and improve the circulation persistence of the air flow.

[0144] Optionally, an air outlet 214 is provided on the side wall of the air outlet chamber 216, and an air inlet 213 is provided on the side wall of the air inlet chamber 215. Among them, the air outlet 214 corresponds to a plurality of slideways 26.

[0145] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, an air outlet 214 is provided on the side wall of the air outlet chamber 216, and the air outlet 214 is arranged corresponding to a plurality of slideways 26. This can improve the air flow velocity of the slideways 26, enhance the heat dissipation of the slideways 26, prevent heat accumulation at the slideways 26, and improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0146] Optionally, the size of the air outlet 214 can be the same as or similar to that of a plurality of slideways 26.

[0147] Optionally, the air outlet 214 corresponds to the middle slideway 26 among a plurality of slideways 26. Among the plurality of slideways 26, the density of the surrounding slideways 26 and the workpiece 60 to be conveyed is relatively large, and the heat generation is large. The correspondence between the air outlet 214 and the middle slideway 26 can ensure the heat dissipation effect of the middle slideway 26.

[0148] Optionally, the housing 17 includes a first side wall, a second side wall, a third side wall, and a fourth side wall that are sequentially connected in a circumferential direction. The first side wall and the third side wall are oppositely arranged. The first side wall is provided with a feed inlet 211, and the third side wall is provided with a discharge outlet 112. Among them, the second side wall and / or the fourth side wall is provided with an air outlet 214.

[0149] Optionally, the feed inlet 211 and the discharge outlet 112 are matched with the slideway 26. This can ensure the sizes of the feed inlet 211 and the discharge outlet 112, facilitating feeding or discharging into each chute.

[0150] Optionally, the slideway 26 slopes downward along the direction from the feed inlet 211 to the discharge outlet 112, wherein the angle between the slideway 26 and the horizontal direction is greater than or equal to 15° and less than or equal to 20°.

[0151] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the angle between the slideway 26 and the horizontal direction is less than 15°, the inclination angle of the slideway 26 is too small to ensure the sliding length of the piece to be conveyed 60, which may cause the piece to be conveyed 60 to get stuck in the chute and unable to slide out. When the angle between the slideway 26 and the horizontal direction is greater than 20°, the inclination angle of the slideway 26 is relatively large. In this case, with a certain height of the storage space 21, the number of such arranged slideways 26 is limited, resulting in a limited storage capacity of the storage space 21.

[0152] Preferably, the slideway 26 slopes downward along the direction from the feed inlet 211 to the discharge outlet 112, and the angle between the slideway 26 and the horizontal direction is 18°.

[0153] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the slideway 26 slopes at 18°, it can not only ensure the sliding length and smoothness but also ensure the number of the slideways 26.

[0154] Optionally, the storage device 20 further includes a stop mechanism provided at the outlet end of the chute for opening or closing the outlet end of the chute. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the stop structure can open or close the outlet end of the chute, so that the outlet end of the target chute can be selectively opened by controlling the stop mechanism, facilitating the discharge of the piece to be conveyed 60.

[0155] Optionally, the storage device 20 further includes a detection mechanism provided at the outlet end of the chute for detecting whether the vaccine passes through the outlet end; the stop mechanism is electrically connected to the detection mechanism, and the stop mechanism is configured to control the stop mechanism to open when the piece to be conveyed 60 passes through the outlet end.

[0156] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the storage device 20 can open the stop mechanism in real time through the detection mechanism and the stop mechanism to achieve automatic discharging.

[0157] Optionally, the bottom wall of the slideway 26 is a flow bar, and the fan 22 can drive the air flow to flow through the gaps of the flow bar. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the bottom wall of the slideway 26 also adopts a flow bar structure. The flow bar can not only improve the sliding smoothness of the piece to be conveyed 60 and avoid jamming. Moreover, the flow bar is composed of multiple balls. When the fan 22 drives the air flow to flow between the slideways 26, the air flow can also flow through the gaps between the adjacent balls of the flow bar, thereby realizing the heat dissipation effect between multiple pieces to be conveyed 60 in one chute.

[0158] Optionally, the chute 26 further includes a partition plate located inside the bottom wall of the chute 26. The partition plate divides the chute 26 into a plurality of sliding grooves, and all the plurality of sliding grooves are inclined in the direction from the feed inlet 211 to the discharge outlet 112.

[0159] Optionally, the cold storage 50 is filled with cold air and is provided with a cooling fan 22. The storage device 20 is located inside the cold storage 50, and the cooling fan 22 can drive cold air flow into the storage space 21. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the storage device 20 is arranged inside the cold storage 50, the storage device 20 itself does not need to be provided with a refrigeration system. The cooling fan 22 inside the cold storage 50 can drive cold air to enter the storage space 21 from the air inlet 213, the feed inlet 211, and the discharge outlet 112 of the storage device 20, so that the storage space 21 can be filled with refrigerating gas to achieve refrigeration of the workpiece 60 to be conveyed inside the storage space 21. When the storage device in the related art is placed inside the cold storage 50, the cooling fan 22 with a large air volume operates to cool the periphery of the storage device 20. The air flow inside the storage device 20 is not smooth due to air resistance, forming a "heat island effect", resulting in the inability to smoothly export the heat inside the storage device 20. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by arranging the fan 22 inside the storage device 20, the air flow inside the storage space 21 can be improved, and a circulating air duct is formed between the storage space 21 and the environment of the cold storage 50, so that the hot air flow inside the storage space 21 enters the cold storage 50 for cooling and then returns to the storage space 21 from the air inlet 213, ensuring the temperature stability inside the storage space 21.

[0160] Optionally, the number of the storage devices 20 can be one or more. When there are multiple storage devices 20, the multiple storages can be arranged side by side and attached together. The manipulator 25 corresponds to all the multiple storage devices 20, and the manipulator 25 can replenish materials into the multiple storage devices 20.

[0161] Optionally, as Figure 3 shown, the conveying device 30 is located on one side adjacent to the discharge outlet 112 of the storage device 20 and is located below the chute 26. When the outlet end of the sliding groove of the storage device 20 is opened, the workpiece 60 to be conveyed inside the sliding groove can fall onto the conveying device 30 and then be transferred to the inoculation device 40 under the drive of the conveying device 30. Optionally, the conveying device 30 extends in the horizontal direction. This facilitates the arrangement of the device. Optionally, the conveying device 30 includes an inclined conveying section, and the inclined conveying section can adjust the conveying height of the workpiece 60 to be conveyed according to the height of the inoculation device 40 or the cold storage 50.

[0162] Optionally, the inclined conveying section can be inclined upward or downward along the conveying direction.
