[0024] By arranging multiple drawer sliding installation positions at equal intervals from top to bottom, the space occupied by multiple material transport drawer components 2 arranged side by side horizontally can be effectively reduced, the longitudinal space can be reasonably utilized, and the volume of the product can be effectively compressed.

[0025] The slide transport mechanism for the staining machine is used in conjunction with a material transfer mechanism, which takes and places materials at the material transfer end. There are two transport drawer assemblies 2, and one transport drawer assembly 2 can be effectively used for unloading and transportation according to the user's needs. The loading and efficiency are integrated, further reducing the volume of the equipment.

[0026] The tray sensor 23 is used to sense whether there is material and to carry out the loading or unloading process.

[0027] The feeding box 1 also includes two mounting plates 3, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the material transport drawer assembly 2. The drawer sliding mounting position is a mounting groove 31 arranged on the mounting plate 3, and the two ends of the drawer bracket 22 are provided with mounting sliders 221 that cooperate with the mounting groove 31.

[0028] The arrangement of the two mounting plates 3 can effectively limit the feeding of the material transport drawer assembly 2, ensuring that the multiple material transport drawer assemblies 2 are arranged at intervals up and down to avoid mutual interference.

[0029] The drawer driving device 21 includes a driving motor 211 and a pulley assembly. A drawer belt clamping member 222 is fixedly provided on the drawer bracket 22, and one end of the drawer belt clamping member 222 is fixed on the pulley assembly.

[0030] Through the cooperation of the driving motor 211 and the pulley assembly, the material transport drawer assembly 2 can be effectively driven to slide in the installation sliding groove, and the material transport drawer assembly 2 can be driven to move between the material transfer end and the loading and unloading end.

[0031] The pulley assembly includes a first pulley 212 and a second pulley 213, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the drawer bracket 22. There are two drawer belt clamps 222, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the drawer bracket 22.

[0039] A signal prompt light 5 is set on the side of the entry and exit window. The signal prompt light 5 cooperates with the material tray sensor to detect whether there is material on the drawer bracket 22, which is convenient for the user to selectively load materials. When a tray 6 for unloading is detected on the drawer bracket 22, the signal prompt light 5 will also be used to prompt the user that a tray 6 is being pushed out.

[0040] The working process of the slide transport mechanism for the staining machine provided in this embodiment is as follows: Compared with the existing loading machines, the embodiment of the utility model provides the advantages of reasonable structural design and small occupied area.

[0041] There are three material transport drawer assemblies 2, two of which are used for feeding materials, and one of which is used for unloading materials.

[0042] First, the controller controls to open the loading function, and the tray sensor 23 pushes the drawer bracket 22 of the empty tray 6 out of the access window according to the situation.

[0043] The user places the tray 6 on the drawer bracket 22. After the tray sensor 23 senses the tray 6, the drawer drive device 21 controls the drawer bracket 22 to move from the loading and unloading end to the transfer end, waiting for the transfer mechanism to be used.

[0044] In the unloading process, the material transport drawer assembly 2 is responsible for unloading, and the material transfer mechanism places the dyed tray 6 in the drawer bracket 22. The drawer bracket 22 transports the tray 6 from the material transfer end to the loading and unloading end. The window cover is pushed open, and the user takes out the tray 6. After the tray sensor 23 detects that the tray 6 has been taken out, it returns to its original position, and under the action of the opening and closing torsion spring, the window cover automatically closes.
