DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The utility model will be further explained in detail in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Further, as Figure 2 ​​As shown, each layer of the buffer line 2 comprises two parallel and horizontally arranged feeding buffer conveying lines 21 and discharging buffer conveying lines 22, a lifting and translating assembly A 23 arranged at the outlet of the feeding buffer conveying line 21, a lifting and translating assembly B 24 arranged at the inlet of the discharging buffer conveying line 22, a translating machine 25 arranged between the feeding buffer conveying line 21 and the discharging buffer conveying line 22, and located between the lifting and translating assembly A 23 and the lifting and translating assembly B 24 and above the feeding buffer conveying line 21 and the discharging buffer conveying line 22; the inlet of the feeding buffer conveying line 21 is provided with a basket stacking mechanism 26 for stacking the baskets; and the outlet of the discharging buffer conveying line 22 is provided with a basket unstacking mechanism 27 for unstacking the stacked baskets;

[0027] The lifting device 3 comprises a lifting and transplanting machine A 31 arranged at the inlet of the feeding buffer conveying line 21 and a lifting and transplanting machine B 32 arranged at the outlet of the discharging buffer conveying line 22; the lifting and transplanting machine A 31 and the lifting and transplanting machine B 32 are symmetrically arranged;

[0028] When the subsequent device does not match the efficiency of the punch forming or the punch forming is stopped due to failure, the main conveying line can send the baskets to the buffer device for buffering, so as to avoid the accumulation of the conveying line; specifically, the main conveying line sends the baskets to the lifting and transplanting machine A 31 at the inlet of the feeding buffer conveying line 21, the lifting and transplanting machine A 31 lifts the baskets to the corresponding buffer line layer, then the lifting and transplanting machine A 31 sends the baskets to the feeding buffer conveying line 21, and since the inlet of the feeding buffer conveying line 21 is provided with the basket stacking mechanism 26, the baskets can be automatically stacked and placed, which greatly increases the storage capacity; when the baskets are stacked to the set number of layers, the baskets are conveyed by the feeding buffer conveying line 21 to the other end, and then the baskets are lifted by the lifting and translating assembly A 23 above the lifting and translating assembly A 23 and conveyed to the translating machine 25, then the baskets are conveyed by the translating machine 25 to the lifting and translating assembly B 24, then the lifting and translating assembly B 24 lowers the stacked baskets until the baskets fall to the discharging buffer conveying line 22, then the discharging buffer conveying line 22 conveys the stacked baskets to the other end until the baskets move to the basket unstacking mechanism 27; when the material on the main conveying line is insufficient, the basket unstacking mechanism 27 unstacks the stacked baskets one by one and sends the baskets to the main conveying line through the lifting and transplanting machine B 32, so as to avoid the blockage of the production line and make the production more smooth.

[0029] Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the lifting and translating assembly A 23 and the lifting and translating assembly B 24 are arranged symmetrically, and the lifting and translating assembly A 23 and the lifting and translating assembly B 24 are respectively provided with a lifting and translating assembly A 23 and a lifting and translating assembly B 24. Figure 3As shown, the buffer conveying line adopts a speed-up chain conveying line; the stacking mechanism 26 and the unstacking mechanism 27 are of the same structure, and each includes a jacking assembly 261 arranged at the bottom of the outer end of the speed-up chain conveying line for jacking up a material basket from the speed-up chain conveying line, and a lifting assembly 262 arranged above the speed-up chain conveying line and located at both sides of the jacking assembly 261; wherein the jacking height of the jacking assembly 261 is just the height for jacking up one material basket from the speed-up chain conveying line, and the initial height of the lifting assembly 262 is just the height for jacking up the material basket from the speed-up chain conveying line by the jacking assembly 261, that is, the height of the bottom second last material basket in the stacked material baskets on the speed-up chain conveying line;

[0030] When the stacking mechanism 26 works: first, the jacking assembly 261 jacks up a material basket from the speed-up chain conveying line, and then the lifting assemblies 262 at both sides catch the jacked-up material basket and lift it up to avoid interference with the subsequent material baskets; then the jacking assembly 261 descends to the initial position, when the next material basket is conveyed to the feeding buffer conveying line 21 by the lifting transplanting machine A31 and is located directly above the jacking assembly 261, the jacking assembly 261 continues to jack up the material basket from the speed-up chain conveying line, and then the lifting assemblies 262 at both sides drive the previous material basket to descend until it falls onto the jacked-up material basket, at this time the lifting assemblies 262 continue to descend to the initial position to continue to catch the jacked-up material basket and lift it up, and the cycle is repeated until the material baskets are stacked to the set number of layers and are conveyed backward by the feeding buffer conveying line 21 to start a new stacking;

[0031] The unstacking mechanism 27 works in the opposite order of the stacking mechanism 26, when the number of material baskets on the main conveying line is insufficient, the stacked material baskets are conveyed to the unstacking mechanism 27 at the outlet of the discharging buffer conveying line 22, at this time the bottommost material basket has been located on the discharging buffer conveying line 22, so the jacking assembly 261 does not act, and directly catches the bottom second last material basket in the stacked material baskets by the lifting assemblies 262 at both sides and lifts it up to separate from the bottommost material basket, and then the material basket is conveyed by the lifting transplanting machine B32 to the main conveying line again by the discharging buffer conveying line 22; then the jacking assembly 261 jacks up, and at the same time the lifting assemblies 262 at both sides drive the remaining stacked material baskets to descend until they fall onto the jacking assembly 261, and then the jacking assembly 261 descends to the initial position to make the remaining stacked material baskets fall onto the discharging buffer conveying line 22, and then the lifting assemblies 262 at both sides continue to catch the second last material basket and lift it up to separate from the bottommost material basket, and then the material basket is conveyed by the lifting transplanting machine B32 to the main conveying line again by the discharging buffer conveying line 22, and the cycle is repeated until all the stacked material baskets are output.

[0034] When the lifting transplanting machine A31 conveys the material basket to the feeding buffer conveying line 21, the blocking cylinder 2633 drives the blocking frame 2631 to rise, blocks and limits the material basket on the double-speed chain conveying line, so that the material basket can be accurately dropped above the jacking table 2612.
