[0025] The one-way conveying module 23 includes a driven shaft 231, a driven wheel 232, a one-way bearing 233, a second belt 234, an end detector 235 and a full load detector 236; the driven shaft 231 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the conveying frame 21, the two driven wheels 232 are fixed on both ends of the driven shaft 231, the two one-way bearings 233 are fixed on the inner sides of both ends of the transmission shaft 222, the second belt 234 is sleeved on the driven wheel 232 and the one-way bearing 233, and the end detector 235 is bolted to the rear end of the conveying frame 21. On the bottom surface, the full load detector 236 is bolted to the bottom surface of the conveying frame 21 and is located below the transmission shaft 222; the bidirectional conveying module and the unidirectional conveying module are connected and matched with each other through a unidirectional bearing and share a driving motor for driving operation, which reduces the overall volume of the mechanism while also realizing the conveying and temporary storage of unprocessed material boxes and processed material boxes on the same conveying channel, and the two do not interfere with each other; adopting this solution, while reducing the overall footprint of the production line, it also ensures the material box conveying efficiency and reduces the cost of assembly and use.

[0026] The material transfer assembly 1 includes a gantry 11, a transverse driving member 12, a lifting driving member 13, a suction cup type material transfer robot 14 and a barcode scanner 15 for scanning the material box identification code; the gantry 11 is transversely bolted just above the production conveyor line, the transverse driving member 12 is transversely bolted on the gantry 11 beam, the output end of the transverse driving member 12 is bolted and fixedly connected with the lifting driving member 13, the transverse driving member 12 and the lifting driving member 13 are preferably cylinders, the material transfer robot 14 is bolted on the output end of the lifting driving member 13, and the barcode scanner 15 is bolted on the side of the temporary storage and transportation assembly 2; the material transfer robot realizes the functions of horizontal movement left and right, and vertical lifting, and grabs the unprocessed material boxes from the production conveyor line and sends them into the temporary storage and transportation assembly.

[0027] The material transfer robot 14 includes a mounting plate 141 and a suction cup 142 driven by an external cylinder. The top surface of the mounting plate 141 is fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting drive 13 with bolts. The bottom surface of the mounting plate 141 is rectangular and has multiple suction cups 142 fixed with bolts at equal intervals. They are used to absorb, grasp and transfer the material box.

[0028] The first position detector 225, the second position detector 226, the end detector 235 and the full load detector 236 are preferably photoelectric switches;

[0029] The temporary storage and transportation component 2 is also provided with a control system, and the material moving component 1 and the temporary storage and transportation component 2 are both electrically connected to the control system.

[0030] Example 2:

[0031] The two temporary storage and transportation components 2 are symmetrically bolted on both sides of the material moving component 1; one material moving component can be shared, which further reduces the overall volume of the mechanism, thereby realizing the miniaturization of the mechanism, reducing the overall footprint of the production line, and realizing the temporary storage and transportation functions of unprocessed material boxes and processed material boxes on the same temporary storage and transportation component, thereby improving practicality.

[0032] In actual application, this mechanism is used to connect the production conveyor line with each workstation, and the barcode scanner scans the material box passing through each workstation. If the scan detects that it is a material box processed by the workstation, the control system will control the material transfer component to grab the material box and send it to the temporary storage and transportation component corresponding to the workstation. At the same time, when the first position detector senses that an unprocessed material box has entered, the control system will control the drive device to enter the working state and drive the two-way conveying module through the drive shaft to send the material box into the one-way conveying module. When the unprocessed material box reaches the end detector, the drive device stops working; the above steps are repeated until the number of unprocessed material boxes temporarily stored in the one-way conveying module reaches the full load detector, and the control system will control the material transfer component to stop picking up the material box and sending it to the temporary storage and transportation component.

[0033] When the workstation completes the processing of the material box and places the processed material box into any position in the middle of the two-way conveying module, the two second position detectors detect the entry of the material box, and at the same time, the control system will control the drive device to enter the working state and drive the two-way conveying module through the drive shaft to send the material box to the first position detection sensor. When the first position sensor detects that the material box has been processed, the control system will control the drive device to stop working, and synchronously control the material moving component to grab the processed material box and put it back on the production conveyor line and send it to the next workstation for processing. The one-way bearing of the one-way conveying module can only rotate synchronously in the direction of the end detector, so the unprocessed material box will still be temporarily stored and will not move in the direction of the two-way conveying module.

[0034] While each workstation is processing the previous unprocessed material box, the material transfer component will still grab the unprocessed material box required by the workstation and send it into the one-way conveying component to fill the gap, so as to keep the unprocessed material boxes in the one-way conveying component fully loaded and temporarily stored at any time.

[0035] The above-described embodiments of the present invention do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
