[0055] Embodiment 1

[0056] Please refer to Figures 1 to 16 , this embodiment provides a material docking device, including: a first material rack 1 and a second material rack 2; the first material rack 1 reciprocates relative to the second material rack 2 along a first horizontal direction, and the docking ends of the first material rack 1 and the second material rack 2 are aligned and docked in a second horizontal direction to convey a material box, and the first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction are perpendicular to each other; one of the docking ends of the first material rack 1 and the second material rack 2 is provided with a first guiding member 3, and the other is provided with a second guiding member 4; the projection of the first guiding member 3 along the first horizontal direction falls on the second guiding member 4.

[0057] It should be noted that when the first material rack 1 and the second material rack 2 are docked, the end faces of the docking ends of the first material rack 1 and the second material rack 2 are in contact with each other.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the first rack 1 needs to be docked with the second rack 2 for material transportation, the first rack 1 can be moved to make the docking end of the first rack 1 abut against the docking end of the second rack 2 and be offset by a preset distance in the second horizontal direction. At this time, since the projection of the first guide member 3 in the first horizontal direction falls on the second guide member 4, then the first rack 1 is moved in the first horizontal direction until the first guide member 3 abuts against the second guide member 4 for limiting. At this time, the first rack 1 and the second rack 2 are docked and aligned to ensure the docking accuracy, so that the material boxes loaded with materials between the two are accurately transported, avoiding deviation and affecting the material transportation effect.

[0059] Embodiment 2

[0060] As a further improvement to Embodiment 1, as Figures 1 to 6 、 Figures 13 to 16 shown, the first guide member 3 is arranged in an L shape, and a guide channel is formed by enclosing the end face of the docking end of the first guide member 3 and the first rack 1 or the end face of the docking end of the second rack 2. The guide channel is arranged to open in the first horizontal direction, and the second guide member 4 is slidably matched with the guide channel.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first guide member 3 is arranged in an L shape, and a guide channel is formed by enclosing the end face of the docking end of the first rack 1 or the end face of the docking end of the second rack 2. When the first rack 1 moves relative to the second rack 2 in the first horizontal direction, the second guide member 4 moves in the guide channel until it abuts against the bottom of the guide channel, playing a guiding and limiting role, improving the docking accuracy, avoiding deviation during the docking process, and limiting the second guide member 4 in the first horizontal direction through the guide channel, and fixing the first rack 1 and the second rack 2 during the material transportation process, avoiding the offset of the distance between the first rack 1 and the second rack 2 caused by the acting force generated during the movement of the material box and affecting the docking effect.

[0062] On the basis of the above embodiment, in a preferred embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 16 shown, a guide plate 33 is arranged in the guide channel along the first horizontal direction; an arc portion is arranged at one end of the guide plate 33 close to the open end of the guide channel for guiding the second guide member 4 to slide into the guide channel.

[0063] In this embodiment, by arranging the guide plate 33 and arranging an arc portion at one end of the guide plate 33 located at the open end of the guide channel, it is convenient to abut against the arc portion when the first rack 1 moves in the first horizontal direction and slide into the guide channel under the guidance of the arc portion, further improving the docking accuracy.

[0064] On the basis of the above embodiment, in a preferred embodiment, as Figure 1 andFigure 3 As shown, a plurality of first guiding members 3 are provided, and the plurality of first guiding members 3 are arranged side by side along the first horizontal direction.

[0065] It should be noted that the second guiding members 4 are provided in one-to-one correspondence with the first guiding members 3.

[0066] In this embodiment, by providing a plurality of first guiding members 3, the docking accuracy and stability during docking of the first rack 1 and the second rack 2 are further improved.

[0067] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the first guiding member 3 includes a first limiting rod 31 and a second limiting rod 32. The first limiting rod 31 is arranged on the end face of the docking end of the first rack 1 or the second rack 2 along the second horizontal direction. The second limiting rod 32 is connected to the first limiting rod 31 along the first horizontal direction and is arranged in an L shape to facilitate the formation of a guiding channel, and a guiding plate 33 is arranged inside the second limiting rod 32; the second guiding member 4 is a guiding rod arranged along the vertical direction to facilitate cooperation with the guiding channel.

[0068] On the basis of the above embodiment, in a preferred embodiment, as Figures 6 to 14 shown, at least one set of first discharging assemblies 5 are provided on the first rack 1, and a set of first feeding assemblies 6 are provided on the second rack 2 corresponding to each set of first discharging assemblies 5. The first discharging assemblies 5 are used to convey the material boxes to the first feeding assemblies 6; a first blocking assembly 8 is provided at the discharging end of the first discharging assemblies 5 on the first rack 1, and a first triggering member 7 is provided on the second rack 2; the first blocking assembly 8 is rotatably connected to the first rack 1, and the first blocking assembly 8 is connected to the first rack 1 through a first resetting member 9; when the docking ends of the first rack 1 and the second rack 2 are aligned and docked, the first blocking assembly 8 rotates to a first position away from the material box under the abutting action of the first triggering member 7; when the docking ends of the first rack 1 and the second rack 2 are separated, the first blocking assembly 8 has a second position where it rotates to block the material box under the action of the first resetting member 9.

[0069] In this embodiment, before the first rack 1 is docked with the second rack 2, the first blocking assembly 8 is in the second position under the action of the first reset member 9. The material box containing the material is placed on the first discharging assembly 5, and is blocked by the first blocking assembly 8 at the discharging end of the first discharging assembly 5. When the docking end of the first rack 1 moves to be docked with the docking end of the second rack 2 and moves to be aligned in the first horizontal direction, during this process, the first triggering member 7 abuts against the first blocking assembly 8 and rotates to the first position against the first reset member 9, that is, at this time, the first blocking assembly 8 is away from the material box. At this time, the first discharging assembly 5 and the first feeding assembly 6 are also correspondingly docked and aligned in the second horizontal direction. Since there is no blocking by the first blocking assembly 8, the material box can be conveyed from the first discharging assembly 5 to the first feeding assembly 6, and then output from the first feeding assembly 6 to the corresponding receiving device, thereby completing the conveying of the material box and realizing feeding. When the conveying of the material is completed, then move the docking end of the first rack 1 away from the docking end of the second rack 2. After the first blocking assembly 8 is separated from the action of the first triggering member 7, it returns to the second position under the action of the first reset member 9, so as to block the material box again for the next loading and continue the conveying of the material box.

[0070] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in a preferred embodiment, as Figure 7 and Figure 12 shown, the first blocking assembly 8 includes a first rotating shaft 81, a first blocking rod 82 and a first driving rod 83; the first rotating shaft 81 is located below the first discharging assembly 5; the first rotating shaft 81 is rotatably connected to the first rack 1, and the first rotating shaft 81 is arranged along the second horizontal direction; one end of the first blocking rod 82 is connected to the first rotating shaft 81, and the other end is provided with a first blocking portion; the first driving rod 83 is connected to the first rotating shaft 81; one end of the first reset member 9 is connected to the first rotating shaft 81, and the other end is connected to the first rack 1; the projection of the first triggering member 7 in the first horizontal direction falls on the first driving rod 83; when the docking ends of the first rack 1 and the second rack 2 are aligned and docked, the first blocking portion has a first position where it rotates away from the material box under the action of the first triggering member 7 abutting against the first driving rod 83; when the docking ends of the first rack 1 and the second rack 2 are separated, the first blocking portion has a second position where it rotates to block the material box under the action of the first reset member 9.

[0071] It should be noted that one end of the first driving rod 83 extends below the first rotating shaft 81, and its projection in the first horizontal direction falls on the first triggering member 7.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 wherein the first blocking portion of the first blocking assembly 8 is in the second position. When the first triggering member 7 abuts against and acts on the first driving rod 83 (as Figure 12), the first driving rod 83 can be rotated counterclockwise, so that the first gear lever 82 of the first blocking assembly 8 drives the first blocking portion to rotate to the first position.

[0073] In this embodiment, by arranging the first rotating shaft 81 to be rotatably connected to the first material rack 1, and arranging the first gear lever 82 and the first driving rod 83 on the first rotating shaft 81, when the first material rack 1 moves relative to the second material rack 2 along the first horizontal direction, the first triggering member 7 abuts against the first driving member and drives the first driving member to move, thereby driving the first rotating shaft 81 to rotate against the acting force of the first reset member 9, so that the first gear lever 82 rotates with the first rotating shaft 81, and drives the first blocking portion to rotate to the first position away from the material box, that is, the first blocking portion is not inside the discharge end of the first discharging assembly 5, so as to facilitate the material box to be conveyed from the first discharging assembly 5 to the first feeding assembly 6; after the conveyance of the material box is completed, the docking end of the first material rack 1 can be driven to be separated from the docking end of the second material rack 2. At this time, the first driving rod 83 is separated from the first triggering member 7. After there is no acting force of the first triggering member 7, the first rotating shaft 81 rotates reversely under the acting force of the first reset member 9, so that the first gear lever 82 rotates with the first rotating shaft 81, and drives the first blocking portion to rotate to the second position blocking the material box, that is, the first blocking portion is inside the discharge end of the first discharging assembly 5, so as to block the material box again for the next material transfer and conveyance.

[0074] On the basis of the above implementation manner, in a preferred implementation manner, as Figure 10 shown, the first reset member 9 is a first spring.

[0075] In this embodiment, the first reset member 9 is a first spring, which has an elastic telescopic effect. When the first gear lever 82 is in the first position, the first spring is in an extended state, so as to drive the first rotating shaft 81 to rotate by using the elastic force and restore the first blocking portion on the first gear lever 82 to the second position, that is, when the first blocking portion is in the second position, the first spring is in an initial state.

[0076] On the basis of the above implementation manner, in a preferred implementation manner, as Figures 6 to 10 , the first discharging assembly 5 includes at least one first flow bar, and the first flow bar is inclined towards the second material rack 2; the first feeding assembly 6 includes at least one second flow bar, and the second flow bar has the same inclination direction as the first flow bar.

[0077] In this embodiment, the first discharging assembly 5 adopts the inclined first flow bar, and the first feeding assembly 6 adopts the inclined second flow bar, so as to facilitate the conveyance of the material box by using gravity. After docking and alignment, when the first blocking assembly 8 is in the first position, the material box slides from the first discharging assembly 5 to the first feeding assembly 6 under the action of gravity, which is convenient, fast, time-saving and labor-saving, and improves work efficiency.

[0078] Based on the above embodiments, in a preferred embodiment, as Figures 1 to 5 , at least one set of second discharging components 10 is further provided on the second material rack 2, and a set of second feeding components 11 is provided on the first material rack 1 corresponding to each set of second discharging components 10. The second discharging components 10 are used to convey the material boxes to the second feeding components 11; a second blocking component 13 is provided at the discharging end of the second discharging components 10 on the second material rack 2, and a second triggering member 12 is provided on the second material rack 2; the second blocking component 13 is rotatably connected to the second material rack 2, and the second blocking component 13 is connected to the second material rack 2 through a second resetting member 14; when the docking ends of the first material rack 1 and the second material rack 2 are aligned and docked, the second blocking component 13 rotates to a third position away from the material box under the abutting action of the second triggering member 12; when the docking ends of the first material rack 1 and the second material rack 2 are separated, the second blocking component 13 has a fourth position where it rotates to block the material box under the action of the second triggering member 12.

[0079] In this embodiment, before the first material rack 1 and the second material rack 2 are docked, the first blocking component 8 and the second blocking component 13 are respectively in the second position (as Figure 7 shown) and the fourth position (as Figure 1As shown, the first discharging component 5 and the second discharging component 10 are both loaded with material boxes, and are blocked by the first blocking component 8 and the second blocking component 13 respectively. When the docking end of the first rack 1 moves to dock with the docking end of the second rack 2 and moves to alignment in the first horizontal direction, during this process, the first triggering member 7 abuts against the first blocking component 8 and rotates to the first position against the first resetting member 9. At the same time, the second triggering member 12 abuts against the second blocking component 13 and rotates to the third position against the second resetting member 14. At this time, the first discharging component 5 is aligned with the first feeding component 6, and the second discharging component 10 is aligned with the second feeding component 11 in the second horizontal direction. Since there is no blocking by the first blocking component 8 and the second blocking component 13, the material box loaded with materials can be conveyed from the first discharging component 5 to the first feeding component 6, and the empty material box or the material box loaded with other materials can be conveyed from the second discharging component 10 to the second feeding component 11. The material box conveyed to the second rack 2 is then output by the first feeding component 6 into the corresponding receiving device, and the material box conveyed to the first rack 1 can be transferred again, thus completing the two-way conveyance of the material boxes on the first rack 1 and the second rack 2. Then, move the docking end of the first rack 1 away from the docking end of the second rack 2. The first blocking component 8 and the second blocking component 13 respectively return to the second position and the fourth position under the action of the first resetting member 9 and the second resetting member 14, so as to block the material box again for further conveyance. By providing the second discharging component 10 on the second rack 2 and correspondingly providing the second feeding component 11 on the first rack 1 opposite to the second discharging component 10, when the first rack 1 and the second rack 2 are docked, the first rack 1 can convey the material box loaded with materials to the second rack 2, and the second rack 2 can convey the empty material box to the first rack 1 for two-way conveyance, further improving the working efficiency. In specific applications, by setting the second discharging component 10 and the second feeding component 11 to cooperate to achieve the two-way conveyance function, it is possible to achieve one-in-one-out of large and small materials at the same time, and at the same time, the two-way conveyance can be achieved at one operating station, saving manpower and material resources and improving production efficiency.

[0080] Specifically, as Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, the second blocking component 13 includes a second rotating shaft, a second blocking rod, and a second driving rod; the second rotating shaft is located below the second discharging component 10; the second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the second material rack 2 and is arranged along the second horizontal direction; one end of the second blocking rod is connected to the second rotating shaft, and the other end is provided with a second blocking portion; the second driving rod is connected to the second rotating shaft; one end of the second resetting member 14 is connected to the second rotating shaft, and the other end is connected to the second material rack 2; the projection of the second triggering member 12 in the second horizontal direction falls on the second driving rod; when the docking ends of the first material rack 1 and the second material rack 2 are aligned and docked, the second blocking portion has a third position where it rotates away from the material box under the action of the second triggering member 12 abutting against the second driving rod; when the second material rack 2 and the second material rack 2 are separated, the second blocking portion has a fourth position where it rotates to block the material box under the action of the second resetting member 14. It should be noted that one end of the second driving rod extends below the second rotating shaft, and its projection in the second horizontal direction falls on the second triggering member 12. By arranging the second rotating shaft to be rotatably connected to the second material rack 2 and providing the second blocking rod and the second driving rod on the second rotating shaft, when the second material rack 2 moves relative to the second material rack 2 along the second horizontal direction, the second triggering member 12 abuts against the second driving member and drives the second driving member to move, thereby driving the second rotating shaft to rotate against the acting force of the second resetting member 14, causing the second blocking rod to rotate with the second rotating shaft and driving the second blocking portion to rotate to the third position away from the material box, that is, the second blocking portion is not inside the discharging end of the second discharging component 10, so that the material box can be conveyed from the second discharging component 10 to the second feeding component 11; after the conveyance of the material box is completed, the docking end of the second material rack 2 can be driven to separate from the docking end of the second material rack 2. At this time, the second driving rod disengages from the second triggering member 12. After the acting force of the second triggering member 12 disappears, the second rotating shaft rotates under the acting force of the second resetting member 14, causing the second blocking rod to rotate with the second rotating shaft and driving the second blocking portion to rotate to the fourth position to block the material box, that is, the second blocking portion is inside the discharging end of the second discharging component 10, to block the material box again for the next material transfer and conveyance.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 In the figure, the first blocking portion of the second blocking component 13 is in the third position. When the second triggering member 12 abuts against and acts on the second driving rod, the second driving rod can be caused to rotate counterclockwise, and further, the second blocking rod of the second blocking component 13 drives the second blocking portion to rotate to the fourth position.

[0082] Specifically, as Figure 5As shown, the second reset member 14 is a second spring with elastic telescopic action. When the second gear lever is in the third position, the second spring is in an extended state, so as to drive the second rotating shaft to rotate by using the elastic force and restore the second blocking portion on the second gear lever to the fourth position, that is, when the second blocking portion is in the fourth position, the second spring is in the initial state.

[0083] Specifically, the second blocking assembly 13 adopts the same structure as the first blocking assembly 8, the second reset member 14 adopts the same structure as the first reset member 9, and the second trigger member 12 adopts the same structure as the first trigger member 7. Adopting the same structure is convenient for processing and production, as well as for maintenance and replacement.

[0084] On the basis of the above embodiment, in a preferred embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 6 shown, multiple groups of first discharging assemblies 5 and second feeding assemblies 11 are provided. The multiple groups of first discharging assemblies 5 and second feeding assemblies 11 are arranged in a regular array in the vertical direction. The first feeding assembly 6 and the second discharging assembly 10 are provided on the second material rack 2 corresponding to the first discharging assembly 5 and the second feeding assembly 11.

[0085] In this embodiment, multiple groups of first discharging assemblies 5 and multiple groups of second feeding assemblies 11 are arranged on the first material rack 1. Multiple groups of first feeding assemblies 6 and multiple groups of second discharging assemblies 10 are correspondingly provided on the second material rack 2 and are arranged in a regular array. This increases the stations for conveying the material boxes, can simultaneously convey multiple groups of material boxes, and can realize the two-way conveying of large and small materials, improving the conveying efficiency. The increased stations can be used as standby stations to improve the timeliness of feeding, and thus improve the production efficiency. Since the second material rack 2 is fixedly arranged and close to the external receiving device, the positions and quantities of the first feeding assembly 6 and the second discharging assembly 10 can be arranged according to the actual positions of large and small material conveying. The positions and quantities of the second feeding assembly 11 and the first discharging assembly 5 on the first material rack 1 can be correspondingly set.

[0086] On the basis of the above embodiment, in a preferred embodiment, the first material rack 1 is sequentially provided with a first exchange layer, a second exchange layer, and a third exchange layer from top to bottom. The first exchange layer includes multiple groups of first discharging assemblies 5; the second exchange layer includes multiple groups of second feeding assemblies 11; the third exchange layer includes the first discharging assembly 5 and the second feeding assembly 11.

[0087] In this embodiment, by providing a first switching layer, a second switching layer, and a third switching layer, and the first switching layer is the first discharging component 5, one-way feeding is achieved, and there are multiple feeding stations, improving the timeliness of feeding. The second switching layer is the second feeding component 11, achieving one-way feeding, and there are multiple feeding stations, improving the timeliness of feeding. In addition, in the third switching layer, a combination of the first discharging component 5 and the second feeding component 11 is provided to achieve two-way conveying of materials, improving the diversity of the overall material conveying, and thus improving the production efficiency. In specific applications, the position of the small material conveying is set lower, and two-way conveying is achieved by providing the first discharging component 5 and the second feeding component 11 at the bottom layer to meet the height difference requirements during small material conveying in actual applications, facilitating the conveying of small materials. Preferably, the first switching layer includes two groups of first discharging components 5 arranged side by side, the second switching layer includes two groups of second feeding components 11 arranged side by side, and the third switching layer includes the first discharging component 5 and the second feeding component 11 arranged side by side.

[0088] On the basis of the above implementation manner, in a preferred implementation manner, as Figures 1 to 5 shown, the second discharging component 10 includes at least one third flow bar, and the third flow bar is inclined towards the first rack 1; the second feeding component 11 includes at least one fourth flow bar, and the inclination direction of the fourth flow bar is the same as that of the third flow bar.

[0089] In this embodiment, the second discharging component 10 uses an inclined third flow bar, and the second feeding component 11 uses an inclined fourth flow bar to facilitate the conveying of the material box by gravity. After docking and alignment, when the second blocking component 13 is in the third position, the material box slides from the second discharging component 10 to the second feeding component 11 under the action of gravity, which is convenient, fast, time-saving and labor-saving, and improves work efficiency.

[0090] On the basis of the above implementation manner, in a preferred implementation manner, at least one blocking block is provided at the discharging end of the second feeding component 11, and the blocking block is used to block the material box.

[0091] In this embodiment, by providing a blocking block at the discharging end of the second feeding component 11, when an empty material box is sent to the second feeding component 11, the material box is blocked by the blocking block to prevent the material box from detaching from the first rack 1 at the output end of the second feeding component 11. Especially when the second feeding component 11 uses an inclined fourth flow bar, it can block the empty or other material-loaded material boxes conveyed by the second discharging component 10 and make them stably placed on the first rack 1, so as to facilitate the transfer of the recycled material box through the first rack 1 for re-transfer.

[0092] On the basis of the above implementation manner, in a preferred implementation manner, as Figure 1 、Figure 6 and Figure 14 As shown in Figure 14 , one of the docking ends of the first rack 1 and the docking end of the second rack 2 is provided with a limiting groove 15, and the other is provided with a limiting cross bar 16 corresponding to the limiting groove 15.

[0093] In this embodiment, by setting the cooperation of the limiting cross bar 16 and the limiting groove 15, the docking of the first rack 1 and the second rack 2 is limited in the second horizontal direction, improving the docking accuracy.

[0094] On the basis of the above embodiment, in a preferred embodiment, a moving mechanism is provided at the bottom of the first rack 1, and the moving mechanism is used to drive the first rack 1 to dock with the second rack 2.

[0095] In this embodiment, a moving mechanism can be provided at the bottom of the first rack 1 to move the first rack 1.

[0096] Specifically, the moving mechanism includes a plurality of universal wheel assemblies for movement.

[0097] Specifically, the moving mechanism further includes a logistics AGV. The logistics AGV is arranged at the bottom of the first rack 1, and the automatic driving of the first rack 1 is completed through program setting, improving the degree of intelligence and further improving the work efficiency. It should be noted that AGV refers to an automatic guided vehicle or an automated guided vehicle.

[0098] The specific working principle of the material docking device provided in this embodiment is as follows: When the first rack 1 needs to dock with the second rack 2 for material transportation, the second rack 2 can be fixedly arranged. The first rack 1 can be moved by a logistics AGV through program settings. A material box loaded with materials is placed on the first discharging component 5 on the first rack 1 and blocked by the first blocking component 8 for feeding. The second discharging component 10 on the second rack 2 also places a material box loaded with materials or an empty material box and is blocked by the second blocking component 13 for easy transfer. The first rack 1 can be moved to make the docking end of the first rack 1 abut against the docking end of the second rack 2 and first stagger a preset distance in the second horizontal direction, so that the projection of the first guiding member 3 along the first horizontal direction falls on the second guiding member 4, and the projections of the first triggering member 7 and the second triggering member 12 in the first horizontal direction respectively fall on the first driving rod 83 and the second driving rod. Then, the first rack 1 is moved in the first horizontal direction. The first triggering member 7 abuts against and drives the first blocking component 8 to rotate along the first horizontal direction, so that the first blocking component 8 rotates around the second horizontal direction against the first reset member 9. When the docking ends of the first rack 1 and the second rack 2 are aligned in the second horizontal direction, the first blocking component 8 rotates to the first position. At the same time, the second triggering member 12 abuts against and drives the second blocking component 13 to rotate along the first horizontal direction, so that the second blocking component 13 rotates around the second horizontal direction against the second reset member 14. When the docking ends of the first rack 1 and the second rack 2 are aligned in the second horizontal direction, the second blocking component 13 rotates to the third position. At this time, the first guiding member 3 abuts against the second guiding member 4 for limiting, and the first discharging component 5 is docked and aligned with the first feeding component 6, and the second discharging component 10 is docked and aligned with the second feeding component 11 in the second horizontal direction. Since there is no blocking by the first blocking component 8 and the second blocking component 13, the material box loaded with materials can be transported from the first discharging component 5 to the first feeding component 6, and the material box loaded with materials or an empty material box is transported from the second discharging component 10 to the second feeding component 11. The material box transported to the second rack 2 is then output from the first feeding component 6 to the corresponding receiving device, and the material box transported to the first rack 1 can be transferred again, thus completing the bidirectional transportation of the material boxes on the first rack 1 and the second rack 2. Then, the docking end of the first rack 1 is moved away from the docking end of the second rack 2. The first blocking component 8 and the second blocking component 13 respectively return to the second position and the fourth position under the action of the first reset member 9 and the second reset member 14 to block the material box again for further transportation.The material docking device provided in this embodiment ensures the docking accuracy through the cooperation of the first guide member 3 and the second guide member 4, as well as the cooperation of the limit cross bar 16 and the limit groove 15, enabling precise conveyance of the material box loaded with materials between the two, avoiding deviation that may affect the material conveyance effect. Moreover, by providing multiple groups of first discharging components 5 and second feeding components 11, the timeliness of feeding is improved. At the same time, gravity conveyance of materials is achieved by using the flow bar, enhancing the convenience of the material box conveyance process, and thus improving the production efficiency.

[0099] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples given for clear illustration and not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or alterations can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or alterations derived therefrom still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
