Then, when the transfer frame 1 moves to a designated position, the height of the material box is adjusted according to the height of the placement position by the adjustment mechanism 4. Then, the material box is pushed out of the transfer frame 1 by the discharge mechanism 6. During the transfer of the material box by the transfer frame 1, the positioning component 7 can provide pressure to the material box, thereby enhancing the positioning effect of the material box and reducing the possibility of the material box falling.

[0023] A connecting component 8 is provided at the contact point between the transfer frame 1 and the conveyor frame 2. The connecting component 8 includes a positioning rod 81, which is fixed on the support leg of the conveyor frame 2.

The two symmetrical sides of the feeding plate 5 are fixedly connected to the side facing the connecting block 46. The stepper motor 41 provides driving force. The baffle 42 provides a limiting function for the feeding plate 5, ensuring that the feeding plate 5 is at the same height as the conveyor frame 2 when feeding the material box. The transmission assembly 43 provides power to the lead screw 44. The cooperation of the threaded sleeve 45 and the connecting block 46 allows for adjustment of the height of the feeding plate 5, thus facilitating the placement of the material box.

[0025] The transmission assembly 43 includes a driving wheel 431 and a driven wheel 432. The driving wheel 431 is fixed to the output shaft of the stepper motor 41, and the driven wheel 432 is fixed to the lower end face of the lead screw 44.

Through the cooperation of the driving wheel 431 and the driven wheel 432, the driving force of the stepper motor 41 can be transmitted to the lead screw 44, so that the two lead screws 44 rotate synchronously.

[0026] The feeding mechanism 3 includes a fixed base 31, which is installed on one side of the conveyor frame 2. Feeding cylinders 32 are installed at both ends of the fixed base 31.

A second limiting sleeve 65 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 61 at the position corresponding to the second limiting rod 64. The feeding cylinder 62 provides driving force to push the push plate 63 so that the push plate 63 can push the material box on the feeding plate 5 into the designated placement position of the material box. When the push plate 63 pushes, the second limiting rod 64 and the second limiting sleeve 65 improve the stability of the push plate 63 pushing the material box.

[0028] The positioning component 7 includes a lifting cylinder 71, which is installed on the top of the transfer frame 1.

The upper end of the sliding rod 74 passes through the sliding sleeve 75 and is fixedly connected to a limit block. The lifting mechanism provides driving force. The pressure plate 72 and the protective pad 73 provide pressure and protection to the material box, thus enhancing the positioning effect of the material box. Subsequently, the cooperation of the sliding rod 74 and the sliding sleeve 75 provides stability when the pressure plate 72 is lifted and moved, improving the safety of the material box during transfer.

[0029] In practical use, the material box is first conveyed through the conveyor frame 2, and then transferred to the connection between the transfer frame 1 and the conveyor frame 2. Then, the feeding cylinder 32 provides driving force, pushing the feeding plate 33 so that it can push the material box on the conveyor frame 2 onto the unloading plate 5. When the feeding plate 33 is pushed, the first limiting rod 34 and the first limiting sleeve 35 improve the stability of the feeding plate 33 pushing the material box. Then, the operator moves the transfer frame 1. Simultaneously, the lifting mechanism provides driving force, and the pressure plate 72 and protective pad 73 provide pressure and protection for the material box, thus enhancing the positioning effect. Finally, the sliding rod 74 and the sliding sleeve 75 work together to lift the pressure plate 72. The lowering mechanism provides stability during movement, improving the safety of material box transfer. Then, the transfer frame 1 is moved to the designated position. Based on the height of the material box placement position, the stepper motor 41 provides driving force, and the transmission assembly 43 provides power to the lead screw 44. The height of the feeding plate 5 can be adjusted by the cooperation of the threaded sleeve 45 and the connecting block 46, thus facilitating the placement of the material box. Subsequently, the feeding cylinder 62 provides driving force to push the push plate 63, enabling the push plate 63 to push the material box on the feeding plate 5 into the designated placement position. When the push plate 63 pushes, the second limit rod 64 and the second limit sleeve 65 improve the stability of the push plate 63 pushing the material box.
