[0002] When foam liners are transported on the production line, materials are easily piled up. Therefore, the accumulated foam liners need to be buffered. However, in real workshops, operators often manually take away the accumulated foam liners and place them aside. When there is no more accumulation on the production line, they put the foam liners on top. This manual processing method wastes human resources, and some existing buffering devices do not have a first-in-first-out function. Therefore, we propose a foam liner first-in-first-out buffering machine. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] See also Figure 1-8 The utility model provides a technical solution: a foam-lined first-in-first-out cache machine, comprising a cache rack 1, the cache rack 1 comprising a first area 11, a second area 12, a third area 13 and a fourth area 14, and a chain support plate assembly 2 is provided on both sides of the first area 11, the second area 12, the third area 13 and the fourth area 14;
[0029] A production line conveyor belt 4 is provided on one side of the cache rack 1, and a transition platform 5 is provided on the other side of the cache rack 1.

[0030] A foam backing 6 is provided at the upper end of the production line conveyor belt 4. The foam backing 6 flows from the first zone 11 and the second zone 12 to the transition platform 5. The foam backing 6 on the transition platform 5 flows through the third zone 13 and the fourth zone 14 and flows back to the production line conveyor belt 4.
[0031] The bottom and the top of the cache rack 1 are both provided with a pushing mechanism 7 , which includes a first automatic pushing plate 71 , and the foam base 6 is driven to translate by the first automatic pushing plate 71 .
[0032] Among them, the cache rack 1 is used to cache the foam base 6. The cache rack 1 has four areas, and each area has several layers of chain plates 24, which can cache a large amount of foam base 6 to prevent the foam base 6 from piling up on the production line conveyor belt 4. The specific process of caching is: the foam base 6 enters from the bottom of the first area 11 from the production line conveyor belt 4, and the foam base 6 is lifted from the bottom of the first area 11 to the top of the first area 11 through the chain support plate assembly 2, and then the foam base 6 is pushed from the top of the first area 11 to the top of the second area 12 through the first automatic push plate 71 of the pushing mechanism 7, and then the foam base 6 is transported to the bottom of the second area 12 through the chain support plate assembly 2, and then the foam base 6 is pushed to the transition level through the first automatic push plate 71 at the bottom of the cache rack 1. The foam base 6 is placed on the platform 5, and then the second automatic push plate 51 in the transition platform 5 pushes the foam base 6 to the side of the third automatic push plate 52, and then the third automatic push plate 52 pushes the foam base 6 on the transition platform 5 to the bottom of the third area 13, and then the foam base 6 is transported to the top of the third area 13 through the chain support assembly 2, and then the foam base 6 is pushed to the top of the fourth area 14 through another group of first automatic push plates 71 on the top, and then the foam base 6 is transported to the bottom of the fourth area 14 through the chain support assembly 2, and finally the foam base 6 is pushed to the production line conveyor belt 4 by another group of first automatic push plates 71 at the bottom of the cache rack 1, so that the foam base 6 can continue to flow on the production line conveyor belt 4, and at the same time, the first-in-first-out function of the foam base 6 is also realized.
[0033] The chain support assembly 2 includes a driven sprocket 21, a lifting sprocket 22, a lifting chain 23 and a chain plate 24. A plurality of chain plates 24 are evenly mounted on the lifting chain 23. The lifting chain 23 moves when the lifting sprocket 22 rotates.
[0034] The chain plate 24 is in the shape of an angle steel, and guide plates 25 are provided at both ends of the chain plate 24. The guide plates 25 are inclined relative to the chain plate 24.
[0035] A driving mechanism 3 is provided at the bottom of the cache rack 1. The driven sprocket 21 is controlled to rotate by the driving mechanism 3. When the chain plate 24 in the first zone 11 rises, the chain plate 24 in the second zone 12 falls. When the chain plate 24 in the third zone 13 rises, the chain plate 24 in the fourth zone 14 falls.
[0036] There are two groups of drive mechanisms 3. The first zone 11 and the second zone 12 use one group of drive mechanisms 3, and the third zone 13 and the fourth zone 14 use another group of drive mechanisms 3. The transmission modes of the two groups of drive mechanisms 3 are opposite.
[0037] The driving mechanism 3 of the first zone 11 and the second zone 12 includes a driving shaft 31, two driving gears 32, two driven gears 33, two first driving sprockets 34, and two second driving sprockets 35. The two driving gears 32 are fixed to the driving shaft 31, and the two driven gears 33 are respectively located on both sides of the driving shaft 31 and are respectively engaged with the two driving gears 32.
[0038] The two first driving sprockets 34 are fixedly mounted on the drive shaft 31, and the two second driving sprockets 35 are coaxially mounted with the two driven gears 33 respectively. The two first driving sprockets 34 and the two second driving sprockets 35 are connected to the four driven sprockets 21 on both sides of the first zone 11 and the second zone 12 respectively through the first chain 36, the second chain 37, the third chain 38, and the fourth chain 39. The first chain 36 and the second chain 37 are connected to the driven sprockets 21 on both sides of the first zone 11, and the third chain 38 and the fourth chain 39 are connected to the driven sprocket 21 of the second zone 12.
[0039] The driving shaft 31 is driven to rotate by the motor. When the driving shaft 31 rotates, the two driving gears 32 rotate, the two driven gears 33 rotate, and the two first driving sprockets 34 and the two second driving sprockets 35 rotate simultaneously. The first chain 36 and the second chain 37 are driven by the driven sprocket 21 of the first zone 11, so that the chain plate 24 of the first zone 11 moves upward, so that the chain plate 24 drives the foam base 6 to move upward. The third chain 38 and the fourth chain 39 are driven by the driven sprocket 21 of the second zone 12, so that the foam base 6 moves upward. The chain plate 24 in the second zone 12 moves downward, so that the chain plate 24 drives the foam base 6 to move downward. The principles of the third zone 13 and the fourth zone 14 are the same as those of the first zone 11 and the second zone 12. Therefore, the movement direction of the chain plates 24 in the first zone 11, the second zone 12, the third zone 13 and the fourth zone 14 is that the chain plates 24 inside the first zone 11 always move upward, the chain plates 24 inside the second zone 12 always move downward, the chain plates 24 inside the third zone 13 always move upward, and the chain plates 24 inside the fourth zone 14 always move downward.
