The first storage and transfer area a of this embodiment is located on the left side of the second storage and transfer area b, and the linear module 2 is fixed to the frame 1. The linear module 2 includes two first sliders 21, and the two first sliders 21 slide in the first storage and transfer area a and the second storage and transfer area b respectively. The first storage and transfer area a and the second storage and transfer area b both include a first tray rack 3, a second tray rack 4, and a tray moving rack 5. The first tray rack 3 and the second tray rack 4 are both fixed to the frame 1, the second tray rack 4 is located on the outside of the first tray rack 3, and the tray moving rack 5 is fixed to the first slider 21. The first storage and transfer area a of this embodiment is used to stack and store trays 100 filled with unground CNC blades, as well as empty trays 100 that have been removed. A linear module 2 in combination with a tray transfer rack 5 is used to transfer the trays 100 between the first tray rack 3 and the second tray rack 4. In the first storage and transfer area a, the linear module 2 drives the tray transfer rack 100 to move between the first tray rack 3 and the second tray rack 4, allowing the robot arm of the arranging machine to remove the unground CNC blades from the trays 100. The second storage and transfer area b of this embodiment is used to stack empty trays 100 and, via the linear module 2 in combination with the tray transfer rack 5, transfer the empty trays 100 to the second tray rack 4 for placement of ground CNC blades. In this way, efficient storage and transfer of the trays 100 is achieved. There is no need to manually remove empty trays 100 during the loading process, and there is no need to manually place empty trays 100 in the placement area during the placement of processed CNC blades. This improves work efficiency and reduces the possibility of empty trays 100 being lost or damaged. Not only is efficient storage and transfer of the trays 100 achieved during the loading process, but the trays 100 are also uniformly stored and efficiently transferred during the placement of processed CNC blades.
[0036] In this embodiment, the first tray rack 3 of the first storage and transfer area a is used to stack and store trays 100 filled with unground CNC blades, and the second tray rack 4 is used to stack and store empty trays 100 after unground CNC blades are removed. The first tray rack 3 of the second storage and transfer area b is used to stack and store empty trays 100, and the second tray rack 4 is used to place empty trays 100 transferred from the first tray rack 3 for placement of ground CNC blades.

The second bracket 41 is fixed to the frame 1 on both the front and rear sides of the linear module 2. The articulated seat 42 is fixed to the left and right sides of the top of the second bracket 41. The swing block 43 is hinged to the articulated seat 42. A torsion spring 44 is sleeved on the hinge shaft between the articulated seat 42 and the swing block 43 to keep the swing block 43 horizontally pressed against the articulated seat 42. It also includes a second guide sleeve 6, a second guide post 7, a connecting plate 8, a fourth cylinder 9, and a support bar 10. The second guide sleeve 6 is fixed to the frame 1 between the front and rear first brackets 31 and between the front and rear second brackets 41. The second guide post 7 passes through the second guide sleeve 6. The top of the second guide post 7 is fixed to the support bar 10. The front and rear second guide posts 7 are connected by a connecting plate 8. The fourth cylinder 9 is fixed to the connecting plate 8. The top of the fourth cylinder 9 is connected to the frame 1. The first bracket 31 includes a horizontal plate 311 and a vertical plate 312. The vertical plates 312 are fixed to the left and right sides of the horizontal plate 311. The first cylinder 32 and the first guide rail 33 are both fixed to the horizontal plate 311. The vertical plates 312 are detachably connected to the first limiting posts 310, which are located outside the bearing block 37. The vertical plate 312 has a first step 313 on the side close to the linear module 2, and the bearing end of the bearing block 37 is located above the first step 313. The end of the swing block 43 has a guide slope 45. The second bracket 41 has a second step 46 on the side close to the linear module 2, and the guide slope 45 is located above the second step 46. Second limiting posts 47 are detachably connected to the left and right sides of the top of the second bracket 41, and are located outside the swing block 43. The plate moving frame 5 includes a second mounting plate 51, a first guide sleeve 52, a first guide column 53, a second cylinder 54, a transfer plate 55, a limit bar 56, a limit plate 57, and a third cylinder 58. The second mounting plate 51 is fixed to the first slider 21. The first guide sleeve 52 is fixed at the four corners of the second mounting plate 51. The first guide column 53 passes through the first guide sleeve 52, and a transfer plate 55 is fixed on the top. A limit bar 56 is fixed on one side of the top of the transfer plate 55, and a second cylinder 54 is fixed on the bottom of the transfer plate 55. A limit plate 57 is fixed at one end of the second cylinder 54. The end of the limit plate 57 extends upward and is arranged in two pairs on the left and right with the limit bar 56. The third cylinder 58 is fixed on the top of the second mounting plate 51, and the top of the third cylinder 58 is fixedly connected to the transfer plate 55.
[0038] The trays 100 of this embodiment have grooves on both the front and back sides. Under normal conditions, the support blocks 37 extend into the grooves, supporting the stacked trays 100. When the bottom tray 100 needs to be removed, the fourth cylinder 9 on the first tray carrier 3 drives the connecting plate 8 upward, causing the second guide post 7 to move upward, driving the support bar 10 upward until it contacts the bottom of the bottom tray 100. The first cylinder 32 then drives the connecting member 36 outward, driving the first mounting plate 35 outward, causing the support blocks 37 to move outward, away from the grooves. At this point, the stacked trays 100 are no longer restrained by the support blocks 37 and, under the influence of gravity, follow the movement of the support bar 10. The fourth cylinder 9 drives the support bar 10 downward, causing the stacked trays 100 to move downward as a whole. Until the second-to-last tray 100 from the bottom up moves to the support block 37, the first cylinder 32 drives the support block 37 to reset, limiting the second-to-last tray 100 from the bottom up. The fourth cylinder 9 then drives the support bar 10 downward until the tray 100 moves to the first step portion, where the tray 100 is placed. The linear module 2 drives the first slider to move below the first step portion, causing the tray moving frame 5 to move below the first step portion. The third cylinder 58 drives the transfer plate 55 upward until the top wall of the transfer plate 55 contacts the tray 100, and then the second cylinder 54 drives the limit plate 57 toward the limit bar 56, clamping the tray 100 between the limit bar 56 and the limit plate 57. For the first storage transfer area a, the linear module 2 drives the transfer plate 55 to move to the middle of the first carrier 3 and the second carrier 4, so that the whole machine robot can take away the unfinished CNC blades. When all the unfinished CNC blades of the tray 100 here are taken out, the linear module 2 drives the transfer plate 55 to move to the second carrier 4, and the second cylinder 54 drives the limit plate 57 to reset, and then the third cylinder 58 drives the transfer plate 55 downward, and the tray 100 is placed on the second step. Then the linear module 2 drives the transfer plate 55 to move to the first carrier 3 for The next fully loaded tray 100 is clamped, and at the same time, the fourth cylinder 9 at the second tray rack 4 drives the support bar 10 to move upward, pushing the empty tray 100 at the second step to move upward. When it moves to the swing block 43, the swing block 43 is pushed upward by the empty tray 100 and swings upward. After the empty tray 100 moves upward for a certain distance, it loses the push of the empty tray 100. Under the action of the torsion spring 44, the swing block 43 is reset, and the fourth cylinder 9 at the second tray rack 4 drives the support bar 10 to move downward. The empty tray 100 moves downward and is placed on the swing block 43. In this way, efficient storage and transfer of the trays 100 are achieved. The working principle of the second storage area is the same as above, except that the transfer tray 55 does not stop between the first tray rack 3 and the second tray rack 4, and will not be described in detail here.
[0039] The first limiting post 310 and the second limiting post 47 limit the tray 100, ensuring that the tray 100 is placed in the desired position. This prevents stacked trays 100 from falling. The guide slope 45 of the swing block 43 helps the tray 100 push the swing block 43 upward.
[0040] The first tray carrier 3 also includes screws 38 and two support blocks 37. A plurality of first mounting holes 39 are defined on both sides of the first mounting plate 35, spaced along the length of the first mounting plate 35. The two support blocks 37 are mounted to the left and right sides of the first mounting plate 35 via screws 38 passing through the first mounting holes 39. The plurality of first mounting holes 39, combined with the arrangement of screws 38, allows the distance between the two support blocks 37 to be adjusted to accommodate different trays 100 specifications, providing wide adaptability.
[0041] Among them, a rubber pad 59 is fixed to one side of the end of the limiting plate 57 close to the limiting bar 56. The setting of the rubber pad 59 plays a protective role on the material tray 100.
[0042] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments can still be modified, or some of the technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents.
