[0028] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] It should be noted that the plate in the embodiment includes but is not limited to a paper card in a folded state or other various functional plates, which is not limited here and can be set according to actual needs. Alternatively, the plate is a rectangular plate, a trapezoidal plate, a pentagonal plate or other shaped plate body. When the shape of the plate is different, the various functional components of the material storing and taking device are adaptively adjusted to facilitate the storage and outward taking of the plate. Among them, the rectangular plate is more commonly used in actual application, and the corresponding material storing and taking device will be specifically introduced with the plate being a rectangular plate as an example in the embodiment. However, it should be understood that the plate can also be other various shapes, which is not limited here.

[0030] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 and Figure 2 respectively show two different perspective structural diagrams of the material storing and taking device in an embodiment of the application. The material storing and taking device provided in the embodiment includes a conveying mechanism 10, an opening and closing mechanism 20 and a material taking mechanism 30.

[0031] The conveying mechanism 10 includes a conveying belt 11, and the conveying belt 11 is used to store a plurality of plates 40 stacked in sequence along the conveying direction. The conveying belt 11 can drive the plurality of plates 40 to move forward along the conveying direction when the conveying mechanism 10 is working.

[0032] Alternatively, the material storing and taking device further includes a workbench 93, and the conveying mechanism 10 is placed on the workbench 93.

[0033] In some embodiments, the conveying mechanism 10 further includes a mounting frame, a motor, a driving wheel and a driven wheel. The motor is installed on the mounting frame. The driving wheel and the driven wheel are rotatably arranged on the mounting frame. The motor is connected with the driving wheel, and the motor is used to drive the driving wheel to rotate. The driving wheel is connected with the driven wheel through the conveying belt 11. When the motor drives the driving wheel to rotate, the driving wheel drives the conveying belt 11 to move, thereby realizing the forward conveying of the plurality of plates 40 on the conveying belt 11.

[0034] Specifically, the opening and closing mechanism 20 is connected to the front end of the mounting frame.

[0035] The opening and closing mechanism 20 is connected to the front end of the conveying mechanism 10, and the opening and closing mechanism 20 is provided with an open position and a closed position and can be switched between the open position and the closed position. When the opening and closing mechanism 20 is switched to the closed position, the opening and closing mechanism 20 is in abutment and positioning with the frontmost plate 40 on the conveying belt 11; when the opening and closing mechanism 20 is switched to the open position, the opening and closing mechanism 20 releases the frontmost plate 40 on the conveying belt 11.

[0036] The taking mechanism 30 is connected to the front end of the conveying mechanism 10, and is used to take out the plate member 40 at the front end of the conveying belt 11 when the opening and closing mechanism 20 is in the open position.

[0037] The above-mentioned storing and taking device is used in the following way: a plurality of plate members 40 are conveyed forward by the conveying belt 11 to the position to be taken out and are positioned by the opening and closing mechanism 20 in the closed position. When it is necessary to take out the plate member 40, the opening and closing mechanism 20 is switched from the closed position to the open position to release the plate member 40 at the front end of the conveying belt 11, and the taking mechanism 30 can take out the plate member 40 at the front end of the conveying belt 11. At the same time, the conveying mechanism 10 drives the plate member 40 to move forward, so that the next plate member 40 moves to the position to be taken out and is taken out by the taking mechanism 30. When the taking is finished, the opening and closing mechanism 20 is switched from the open position to the closed position, so that the material on the conveying belt 11 cannot be taken out, and the storing function is realized. Therefore, the automation degree of taking can be improved, the work efficiency is high, and the labor cost is reduced.

[0038] The opening and closing mechanism 20 can abut against any one side (for example, the left side, the right side, the upper side or the lower side) of the outer peripheral edge of the plate member 40, or can abut against any two sides of the outer peripheral edge of the plate member 40, or can abut against all sides of the outer peripheral edge of the plate member 40, or can abut against the middle part of the plate member 40 when the opening and closing mechanism 20 is in the closed position, as long as the plate member 40 is positioned, and the specific mode is not limited herein.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the opening and closing mechanism 20 comprises two first opening and closing assemblies 21 and a second opening and closing assembly 22. The two first opening and closing assemblies 21 and the second opening and closing assembly 22 are connected to the front end of the conveying mechanism 10, and are specifically connected to the front end of the mounting frame. When the two first opening and closing assemblies 21 are in the closed position, the two first opening and closing assemblies 21 abut against and position the left and right opposite sides of the plate member 40 at the front end of the conveying belt 11. When the second opening and closing assembly 22 is in the closed position, the second opening and closing assembly 22 abuts against and positions the bottom of the plate member 40 at the front end of the conveying belt 11. In this way, when the opening and closing mechanism 20 is in the closed position, the bottom and the left and right opposite sides of the plate member 40 at the front end are respectively positioned by abutting, so that the plate member 40 can be effectively prevented from being taken out, and the neatness of the plurality of plate members 40 on the conveying belt 11 can be improved, so that the next taking action can be smoothly performed.

[0040] It should be noted that the opening and closing modes of the first opening and closing assembly 21 and the second opening and closing assembly 22 are independently set and adjusted according to actual needs, which can be set as rotating mode to realize switching between the open position and the closed position, can be set as moving mode to realize switching between the open position and the closed position, or can be set as other action mode to realize switching between the open position and the closed position, and the specific mode is not limited herein.

[0041] In the embodiment, the first opening and closing assembly 21 comprises a first push-pull mechanism 211, a first rotating seat 212 and a first blocking piece 213. The first push-pull mechanism 211 is arranged on the conveying mechanism 10, and the first rotating seat 212 is rotatably arranged on the conveying mechanism 10. The first blocking piece 213 is connected to the first rotating seat 212, and the number of the first blocking piece 213 is one or more, for example. The first push-pull mechanism 211 is connected to the first rotating seat 212, and when the first push-pull mechanism 211 pushes and pulls the first rotating seat 212, the first rotating seat 212 can be driven to rotate, and the first rotating seat 212 can drive the first blocking piece 213 to rotate to the open position or the closed position. The first push-pull mechanism 211 comprises various power mechanisms such as air cylinders, hydraulic cylinders or motor lead screws, but is not limited thereto.

[0042] Similarly, in the embodiment, the second opening and closing assembly 22 comprises a second push-pull mechanism 221, a second rotating seat 222 and a second blocking piece 223. The second push-pull mechanism 221 is arranged on the conveying mechanism 10, and the second rotating seat 222 is rotatably arranged on the conveying mechanism 10. The second blocking piece 223 is connected to the second rotating seat 222, and the number of the second blocking piece 223 is one or more, for example. The second push-pull mechanism 221 is connected to the second rotating seat 222, and when the second push-pull mechanism 221 pushes and pulls the second rotating seat 222, the second rotating seat 222 can be driven to rotate, and the second rotating seat 222 can drive the second blocking piece 223 to rotate to the open position or the closed position. The second push-pull mechanism 221 comprises various power mechanisms such as air cylinders, hydraulic cylinders or motor lead screws, but is not limited thereto.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the material storing and taking device further comprises a first limiting member 50 connected to the front end of the conveying mechanism 10. The first limiting member 50 is used to abut against the upper side edge of the frontmost plate member 40. In this way, after the opening and closing mechanism 20 is switched from the closed position to the open position, before the taking mechanism 30 takes out the frontmost plate member 40 on the conveying belt 11, the first limiting member 50 abuts against the upper side edge of the frontmost plate member 40, thereby playing a certain limiting role and preventing the frontmost plate member 40 from tilting to the front side under the action of gravity and thus being unable to be smoothly taken out by the taking mechanism 30. In addition, since the first limiting member 50 only abuts against the upper side edge of the frontmost plate member 40 and the plate member 40 has a certain elastic deformation capability, after the taking mechanism 30 grabs the frontmost plate member 40, the frontmost plate member 40 can still be smoothly taken out. In addition, since the first limiting member 50 abuts against the upper side edge of the frontmost plate member 40, the opening and closing mechanism 20 does not need to abut against the upper side edge of the plate member 40 for positioning, so that the opening and closing mechanism 20 is simplified.

[0044] On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the first limiting member 50 comprises a limiting plate. The number of the limiting plates can be one or multiple, for example, 2, 3, 4 or more. In this embodiment, the limiting plates are arranged in multiple and are sequentially and spacedly arranged along the width direction of the plate member 40 (i.e., the left-right direction of the conveying belt 11). In this way, the upper side edge of the plate member 40 is effectively limited by the first limiting member 50, and at the same time, under the action of the taking mechanism 30, the plate member 40 can also be smoothly taken out.

[0045] On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the first limiting member 50 is adjustably arranged on the conveying mechanism 10 along the width direction of the plate member 40. In this way, according to the specific type requirements of the plate member 40, the position of the first limiting member 50 can be adjusted along the width direction of the plate member 40, so that the first limiting member 50 plays a better limiting role on different types of plate members 40.

[0046] In some embodiments, the material storing and taking device further comprises a pressing member 60 connected to the front end of the conveying mechanism 10. The pressing member 60 is in pressing cooperation with the top ends of the plate members 40 in the front region of the conveying belt 11. In this way, during the movement of the plate members 40 on the conveying belt 11 to the front of the pressing member 60, the pressing member 60 presses the top ends of the plate members 40, which on the one hand can make the plate members 40 in the front region neatly arranged so as to be smoothly taken out by the taking mechanism 30, and on the other hand can play a positioning role on the plate members 40 in the front region, thereby effectively preventing at least two plate members 40 from being taken out at the same time during the taking process, i.e., being conducive to the plate members 40 being taken out one by one.

[0047] On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the pressing member 60 can be provided as one or at least two and arranged in sequence along the width direction of the plate member 40. When the number of the pressing member 60 is provided as at least two, the plate member 40 can be positioned and pressed at each part along the width direction thereof, and the neatness is better.

[0048] On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the pressing member 60 is adjustably arranged on the conveying mechanism 10 along the width direction of the plate member 40. In this way, the position of the pressing member 60 can be adjusted along the width direction of the plate member 40 according to the specific type of the plate member 40, so that the plate member 40 is better positioned and pressed.

[0049] In one embodiment, the pressing member 60 comprises a pressing portion 61 and a guide portion 62. The pressing portion 61 is pressed against the top end of the plurality of plate members 40 in the front region, and the guide portion 62 is connected to the rear side of the pressing portion 61. The distance between the guide portion 62 and the conveying belt 11 decreases along the conveying direction.

[0050] Specifically, the pressing surface of the pressing portion 61 is provided as a plane and parallel to the conveying belt 11. The distance between the pressing portion 61 and the conveying belt 11 is less than the height of the plate member 40, and the ratio therebetween is, for example, between 0.9 and 1. In this way, the pressing portion 61 can simultaneously press the plurality of plate members 40 in the front region. In addition, the guide portion 62 is provided with a guide inclined surface, which is arranged at an angle to the pressing surface. The guide inclined surface plays a guiding role and can facilitate the smooth entry of each plate member 40 into the area between the pressing portion 61 and the conveying belt 11 along the conveying direction.

[0051] Optionally, the guide portion 62 is a flange formed at the rear side of the pressing portion 61.

[0052] It should be noted that the "guide portion 62" in the present embodiment can be "a part of the pressing portion 61", that is, the "guide portion 62" is integrally manufactured with "the other part of the pressing portion 61"; or it can be a separate component separable from "the other part of the pressing portion 61", that is, the "guide portion 62" can be independently manufactured and then combined with "the other part of the pressing portion 61" to form an integral whole.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5In one embodiment, the material storing and taking device further comprises a first support frame 71 and a first adjusting assembly 72. The first support frame 71 is connected to the front end of the conveying mechanism 10, and the first support frame 71 comprises a first cross beam 711 located above the conveying belt 11, and the first adjusting assembly 72 is arranged on the first cross beam 711. The pressing piece 60 and the first limiting piece 50 are both connected to the first adjusting assembly 72, and are both indirectly arranged at the front end of the conveying mechanism 10. The first adjusting assembly 72 can adjust the positions of the pressing piece 60 and the first limiting piece 50 in the vertical direction. In this way, the height positions of the pressing piece 60 and the first limiting piece 50 in the vertical direction can be adjusted by the first adjusting assembly 72 according to the height of the plate 40, so that the height positions of the pressing piece 60 and the first limiting piece 50 can be matched with the height of the plate 40, and better pressing and limiting of the plate 40 can be achieved, thereby being suitable for pressing and limiting plates 40 of different types and heights.

[0054] On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the first support frame 71 further comprises two support plates 712 arranged in opposite directions. The bottom ends of the two support plates 712 are connected to the mounting frame, and the opposite ends of the first cross beam 711 are connected to the top ends of the two support plates 712.

[0055] On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the first adjusting assembly 72 comprises a connecting portion 721, a seat body 722, and a first adjusting piece (not shown in the figure). The connecting portion 721 is connected to the first cross beam 711, and the connecting portion 721 is, for example, in the shape of a rod. The first limiting piece 50 and the pressing piece 60 are both arranged on the seat body 722. The seat body 722 is adjustably arranged on the connecting portion 721 in the vertical direction. When the seat body 722 is adjusted to a target position in the vertical direction, the first adjusting piece is used to fix the seat body 722 on the connecting portion 721. Optionally, the first adjusting piece includes, but is not limited to, a locking screw or a locking screw rod, etc.

[0056] In some embodiments, the seat body 722 comprises a second cross beam 7221 and a first vertical rod 7222 connected to the second cross beam 7221. The first vertical rod 7222 penetrates the connecting portion 721 and is adjustably arranged on the connecting portion 721 in the vertical direction. In addition, the pressing piece 60 and the first limiting piece 50 are both adjustably arranged on the second cross beam 7221 in the width direction of the plate 40. In this way, not only can the height positions of the pressing piece 60 and the first limiting piece 50 be adjusted, but also the pressing piece 60 and the first limiting piece 50 can be respectively adjustably arranged on the conveying mechanism 10 in the width direction of the plate 40.

[0057] When the plate member 40 is a paper card, for example, the middle part of the paper card is thicker than the top and bottom parts. During the process of being transported forward to the front end of the conveying mechanism 10, the middle part of the paper card bends toward the back relative to the bottom part of the paper card, which not only causes the paper card to be damaged, but also makes it difficult for the paper card to be taken out by the taking mechanism 30.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 In an embodiment, the storage and taking device further comprises two poking assemblies 81. The two poking assemblies 81 are connected to the front end of the conveying mechanism 10 and are arranged on opposite sides of the conveying belt 11, respectively. The poking assembly 81 abuts against the middle part of the side edge of the plate member 40 in the width direction and can push the plate member 40 forward. In this way, the two poking assemblies 81 act synchronously during the process of the plate member 40 being transported forward by the conveying belt 11. Under the pushing action of the two poking assemblies 81 on the middle part of the two side edges of the plate member 40 in the width direction, the middle part of the two side edges of the plate member 40 can move forward, thereby effectively preventing the plate member 40 from being damaged due to uneven stress and facilitating the plate member 40 to be taken out smoothly.

[0059] In an embodiment, the poking assembly 81 comprises a telescopic mechanism 811, a first mounting seat 812, and a roller 813 rotatably arranged on the first mounting seat 812. The telescopic mechanism 811 is connected to the front end of the conveying mechanism 10. The telescopic mechanism 811 is connected to the first mounting seat 812, and the telescopic mechanism 811 can drive the first mounting seat 812 to move back and forth. The surface of the roller 813 abuts against the middle part of the side edge. Alternatively, the telescopic direction of the telescopic mechanism 811 is arranged at an angle to the conveying direction of the plate member 40, and the angle includes but is not limited to 10° to 30°. In this way, when the telescopic mechanism 811 drives the first mounting seat 812 to move back and forth, the first mounting seat 812 correspondingly drives the roller 813 to move back and forth, and when the surface of the roller 813 contacts the middle part of the side edge, the plate member 40 can be driven to move forward by the middle part of the side edge.

[0060] Alternatively, the telescopic mechanism 811 includes but is not limited to a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a motor lead screw, or other various types of power mechanisms, which can be flexibly adjusted and arranged according to actual needs, and are not limited herein.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4In one embodiment, the storing and taking device further comprises two second supporting frames 82 and two second adjusting assemblies 83. The two second adjusting assemblies 83 are arranged at the front end of the conveying mechanism 10 and are respectively located at opposite sides of the conveying belt 11. The two second adjusting assemblies 83 are respectively connected with the two second supporting frames 82 in a corresponding manner, and the second adjusting assembly 83 can adjust the position of the corresponding second supporting frame 82 along the width direction of the plate member 40. The two poking assemblies 81 are respectively arranged on the two second supporting frames 82 in a corresponding manner. In this way, when the second adjusting assembly 83 adjusts the position of the second supporting frame 82 along the transverse direction, the poking assembly 81 can be correspondingly driven to adjust the position along the transverse direction, so that the wheel surface of the roller 813 can abut against the middle part of the side edge of the plate member 40, and the storing and taking work can be adapted to the plate member 40 with different widths.

[0062] In one embodiment, the poking assembly 81 further comprises a second mounting seat 814. The second mounting seat 814 is arranged at the front end of the conveying mechanism 10. The telescopic mechanism 811 is rotatably arranged on the second mounting seat 814. When the telescopic mechanism 811 is adjusted in the rotation position, the distance between the wheel surface of the roller 813 and the side edge part of the plate member 40 can be adjusted. In this way, the distance between the wheel surface of the roller 813 and the side edge part of the plate member 40 can be adjusted by rotating the telescopic mechanism 811, so that the force applied by the wheel surface on the side edge part of the plate member 40 can be adjusted.

[0063] As an example, the second mounting seat 814 is provided with an arc-shaped hole 8141, and the telescopic mechanism 811 is provided with a guide part 62 which is arranged in the arc-shaped hole 8141 and can move along the arc-shaped hole 8141. In this way, the guide part 62 can play a guiding role during the rotation of the telescopic mechanism 811, and the rotation stability is higher.

[0064] Specifically, the second mounting seat 814 is arranged on the second supporting frame 82. In this way, when the plate member 40 with different widths is applied, the position of the second mounting seat 814 can be preliminarily adjusted by the second adjusting assembly 83, and then the rotation angle of the telescopic mechanism 811 can be adjusted, so that the position of the wheel surface of the roller 813 can be finely adjusted.

[0065] On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the second supporting frame 82 is provided with an avoiding window 821, and the roller 813 can abut against the side edge part of the plate member 40 through the avoiding window 821.

[0066] Specifically, the two first opening and closing assemblies 21 are respectively fixedly arranged on the two second supporting frames 82. In this way, when the second supporting frame 82 adjusts the position along the width direction of the plate member 40, the second supporting frame 82 can synchronously drive the first opening and closing assembly 21 on it to adjust the position along the width direction of the plate member 40.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 4 ,Figure 7 And Figure 8 In some embodiments, the second adjusting assembly 83 comprises a second adjusting member 831 and a guide rod 832. The second adjusting member 831 is rotatably connected with the second supporting frame 82, and is adjustably arranged on the front end of the conveying mechanism 10. Specifically, the second adjusting member 831 is a screw rod for example, and the supporting plate 712 is provided with screw holes matched with the screw rod, and the second adjusting member 831 is arranged in the screw holes. The guide rod 832 is connected with the second supporting frame 82, and the supporting plate 712 is provided with a guide hole, and the guide rod 832 is slidably arranged in the guide hole. In this way, when the second adjusting member 831 rotates, it can drive the second supporting frame 82 to move along the width direction of the plate piece 40 to adjust the position.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 1 And Figure 2 In an embodiment, the taking mechanism 30 comprises a moving mechanism 31 and a suction mechanism 32. The moving mechanism 31 is arranged on the front end of the conveying mechanism 10, and the moving mechanism 31 is connected with the suction mechanism 32.

[0069] In an embodiment, the suction mechanism 32 comprises a plurality of suction cups 321, and the plurality of suction cups 321 are arranged in sequence and at intervals along the width direction of the plate piece 40. When the suction mechanism 32 works, the plurality of suction cups 321 can stably suck and position the side surface of the plate piece 40. Under the moving action of the moving mechanism 31, the suction mechanism 32 can be moved close to the plate piece 40 at the frontmost position, so that the suction cup 321 can be sucked to the plate piece 40 at the frontmost position, and the suction mechanism 32 can be moved away from the conveying mechanism 10, so as to realize the taking out of the plate piece 40 at the frontmost position.

[0070] Optionally, the moving mechanism 31 comprises but is not limited to various power mechanisms such as air cylinders, motor lead screws or hydraulic cylinders, and the like. The specific power mechanism can be flexibly adjusted and arranged according to actual needs, as long as it can drive the suction mechanism 32 to move close to or away from the plate piece 40 at the frontmost position.
