[0069] In an embodiment of the present utility model, a release unit is provided at each of the four corners at the lower end of each guiding frame body 22. The release unit includes a fixed block 221 and a release telescopic rod 222. The middle of the fixed block 221 is hinged to the guiding frame body 22. One end of the fixed block 221 is hinged to the telescopic end of the release telescopic rod 222. The fixed end of the release telescopic rod 222 is hinged to the guiding frame body 22. The release telescopic rod 222 is used to drive the other end of the fixed block 221 to rotate around the hinge point between the middle of the fixed block 221 and the guiding frame body 22. When the other ends of the four fixed blocks 221 rotate to the inside of the guiding frame body 22, the material tray 7 can be fixed inside the guiding frame body 22. When the other ends of the four fixed blocks 221 rotate to the outside of the guiding frame body 22, the material tray 7 can pass through from the lower end inside the guiding frame body 22.
[0070] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the fixed block 221 has a T-shaped structure.
[0071] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the fixed block 221 has a square block structure.
[0072] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the material tray 7 has a square structure, and a plurality of grooves for placing materials are provided on the material tray 7.
[0073] In an embodiment of the present utility model, a fixing rod 71 is provided at each of the four corners of the material tray 7.
[0074] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the four fixing rods 71 are distributed in a rectangle and are vertically arranged on the outer wall of the material tray 7.
[0075] In an embodiment of the present utility model, a receiving groove 522 for receiving the fixing rod 71 is provided at both ends of each clamping plate 521. When the two clamping plates 521 clamp the material tray 7, the fixing rod 71 is received in the corresponding receiving groove 522.
[0076] When the utility model is in use, the material tray 7 filled with materials can be placed on the lifting plate 21 of the first lifting structure 2. The material tray 7 is lifted into the moving frame 51 by the lifting telescopic unit 20. Then, the output ends of the two second telescopic units 52 extend simultaneously to clamp the material tray 7. The second linear slide module 53 drives the material tray 7 to move below the first linear slide module 41. The first telescopic unit 43 drives the clamping unit 42 to move downward. The materials on the material tray 7 are clamped by the clamping unit 42. The first linear slide module 41 drives the clamping unit 42 to move to the conveyor 6 and place the materials on the conveyor 6, and the conveyor transports the materials to the corresponding position. When the materials on the material tray 7 are used up, the second linear slide module 53 drives the material tray 7 to move above the second lifting structure 3. The lifting plate 21 of the second lifting structure 3 moves below the material tray 7. The output ends of the two second telescopic units 52 contract simultaneously to place the material tray 7 on the lifting plate 21 of the second lifting structure 3.
[0077] During the process of placing multiple material trays, the lifting plate 21 of the first lifting structure 2 lifts multiple material trays above the release unit of the guide frame 22. The other ends of the four fixing blocks 221 rotate into the guide frame 22. The other ends of the four fixing blocks 221 are respectively in contact with the corresponding fixing rods 71 of the lowermost material tray, fixing the lowermost material tray stacked on the lifting plate 21. Then, the lifting plate 21 moves downward. A new material tray is placed on the lifting plate 21, and then the new material tray is lifted, lifting the original lowermost material tray. After the other ends of the four fixing blocks 221 move above the corresponding fixing rods 71, the other ends of the four fixing blocks 221 rotate outside the guide frame 22, that is, the new material tray can continue to move upward.
[0078] Similarly, when taking out the lowermost material tray, it is necessary to fix the second-lowermost material tray with the four fixing blocks 221, and then the lifting plate 21 continues to descend, and the lowermost material tray can be taken out from the feed inlet 30.
[0079] Secondly, the empty material tray 7 can be placed on the lifting plate 21 of the first lifting structure 2. The conveyor 6 transports the materials from the corresponding position to below the clamping unit 42. After the clamping unit 42 clamps the materials, the materials are placed on the corresponding material tray 7. Then, the second linear slide module 53 moves the moving frame 51 to the second lifting structure 3, and the material tray 7 filled with materials can be placed on the lifting plate 21 of the second lifting structure 3.
[0080] The above has generally described the present utility model in detail. However, based on the present utility model, some modifications or improvements can be made thereto, which are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit and idea of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
