[0031] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 The preferred embodiment of the utility model provides a kind of material transfer device, including machine table 1, the tray assembly 2 for carrying material movably installed in machine table 1, the guide assembly 3 connected with tray assembly 2 transmission, and the control unit 6 for instructing control for guiding assembly 3 with guide assembly 3 communication connection, guide assembly 3 is used to guide tray assembly 2 to move after responding to the control instruction issued by control unit 6. Through the cooperation of control unit 6 and guide assembly 3, high automation and precision control are realized, manual intervention error is reduced, accurate material transport is ensured to specified position, and production precision requirement is met;On the other hand, movable tray assembly 2 is driven under guide assembly 3 to realize efficient material flow, significantly shorten the transfer time, and improve production efficiency.

[0032] Through the communication connection of control unit 6 and guide assembly 3, it is easy to integrate with other production equipment to form a complete automated production system. In the entire production line, efficient cooperative work can be realized between each equipment, and the material transfer device can timely and accurately transport materials according to the working state and demand of upstream and downstream equipment, to ensure the continuity and stability of production process, and improve the reliability and production efficiency of the entire production system.

[0033] Specifically, the guide assembly 3 guides the movement of the tray base 22 according to the instructions issued by the control unit 6, and when the tray base 22 reaches the designated position, the control unit 6 issues a stop instruction according to the feedback information of the guide assembly 3, the guide assembly 3 stops driving, the tray assembly 2 stops moving, the operator pulls the tray base 22 through the handle 23 to complete the material transfer operation, and after the manual operation is completed, the guide assembly 3 can be started again through the control unit 6 to make the tray assembly 2 return to the normal working position or continue the material transfer process.

[0034] In this embodiment, the tray assembly 2 includes a tray 21 for carrying materials, a tray base 22 for carrying the tray 21 and movably mounted on the guide assembly 3, and a handle 23 connected with the tray base 22. The tray base 22 is movably mounted on the guide assembly 3, and through the cooperation of the control unit 6 and the guide assembly 3, the tray base 22 can move according to the preset path and position parameters, meet the high-precision requirements of material transfer on the production line, and improve the production efficiency and product quality. The handle 23 is connected with the tray base 22, and when manually transferring materials, the operator can easily pull the tray base 22 through the handle 23 to move it to the appropriate position on the guide assembly 3, facilitating operation.

[0035] In this embodiment, the guide assembly 3 includes a slide rail structure 31 mounted in the machine table 1 and a sensing assembly 32 mounted on the slide rail structure 31 and in communication connection with the control unit 6. The slide rail structure 31 provides an accurate movement path for the tray assembly 2 in the machine table 1, which bears the weight of the tray assembly 2 and provides stable support for it; the sensing assembly 32 is in communication connection with the control unit 6, which monitors the position information of the tray assembly 2 on the slide rail structure 31 in real time and feeds back the motion state information of the tray base 22 to the control unit 6.

[0036] Specifically, the slide rail structure 31 includes a slide 311 for carrying the tray base 22, a sliding block 312 slidably mounted on the slide 311 and carrying the tray base 22, and a limiting block 313 mounted at both ends of the slide 311. The slide 311 serves as the basic part of the slide rail structure 31, providing a stable support plane and an accurate straight-line guide path for the sliding block 312 and the tray base 22. The sliding block 312 closely cooperates with the slide 311 and can freely slide on the slide 311, transmitting the guiding action of the slide 311 to the tray base 22, so that the tray base 22 can easily move in the predetermined direction. The limiting blocks 313 mounted at both ends of the slide 311 clearly define the movement boundaries of the tray base 22. In the normal working process, it is ensured that the tray assembly 2 will not exceed the predetermined travel range, preventing collisions with other equipment components or disengagement from the slide rail structure 31 due to excessive movement, ensuring the safety and stability of the equipment.

[0037] Specifically, the tray base 22 is provided with an electromagnetic adsorption structure for adsorbing the limiting block 313 to fix the tray base 22.

[0038] Specifically, the slide rail structure 31 further includes a mounting table installed in the machine table 1 for carrying the slide 311, and the sensing assembly 32 includes a home sensor 321 installed on the mounting table for sensing the position of the tray base 22. The side of the home sensor 321 is provided with a sensing block 322 in communication connection with the home sensor 321, which is responsible for contacting the tray base 22. The mounting table provides a stable carrying platform for the slide 311, ensuring that the slide 311 can maintain accurate position and level in the machine table 1. The home sensor 321 can monitor the position information of the tray base 22 on the slide rail structure 31 in real time and accurately feed it back to the control unit 6.

[0039] When the home sensor 321 detects that the tray base 22 moves to a specific position in contact with the limiting block 313, the control unit 6 starts the power transmission component (motor is turned on), the electromagnetic adsorption structure is started and generates adsorption force with the limiting block 313, fixing the tray base 22 at this position; when the tray base 22 is disconnected from the limiting block 313, the control unit 6 closes the power transmission component (motor is turned off), the electromagnetic adsorption structure is closed, and the operator pulls the tray base 22 through the handle 23 to complete the material transfer operation.

[0040] Specifically, the tray base 22 is provided with a buffer pad 4 corresponding to the sensing assembly 32. When the operator finishes replacing the tray, manually pushes to the sensing block 322, the buffer pad 4 can protect the sensing block 322.

[0041] Specifically, the material transfer device further includes a detection unit for detecting the working state of the home sensor 321, which is in communication connection with the control unit 6. The detection unit can continuously detect the working state of the home sensor 321, including whether the sensor is normally powered on, whether the signal transmission is stable, whether it can accurately sense the position of the tray base 22, etc. The detection unit transmits the working state information and fault diagnosis results of the home sensor 321 to the control unit 6 in real time. The control unit 6 decides whether to take corresponding measures according to these feedback information, such as suspending the material transfer operation, issuing an alarm to notify the operator to maintain, adjusting the control strategy to cope with sensor failure, etc.

[0042] In this embodiment, the material transfer device further includes a safety cover 5 installed on the machine table 1, and the guide assembly 3 is covered in the safety cover 5. This creates a safer working environment for the operator, reducing the risk of safety accidents caused by accidental touching of the moving parts of the equipment.

[0043] The embodiment of another aspect of the present application provides a material processing equipment, comprising the material transfer device of the embodiment, further comprising a driving assembly for driving the tray base 22 to move into the material processing equipment, and a processing assembly for processing the transferred material, the driving assembly and the processing assembly are in communication connection with the control unit 6.

[0044] The specific operation steps of the present application are as follows:

[0045] 1. Material preparation: the material processing equipment is in running state, when material loading operation is needed, the operator first approaches the material transfer device. At this time, the safety protection cover 5 located on the machine table 1 provides protection for the guide assembly 3, ensuring that the operator will not accidentally touch the internal moving parts, and ensuring the operation safety.

[0046] 2. Pull out the tray base 22: the operator pulls out the tray base 22 along the slide 311 through the handle 23. During the pulling-out process, the tray base 22 moves together with the tray 21 carrying the material, so that the tray assembly 2 gradually separates from the working area of the material processing equipment. With the movement of the tray base 22, the relative position of the tray base 22 and the sensing assembly 32 changes, and when it reaches a certain degree, the sensor is disconnected, and the material processing equipment automatically pauses after sensing the change, providing a safe environment for subsequent manual loading operation.

[0047] 3. Manual loading: the operator places the new material on the tray 21 of the tray assembly 2 in the safety area.

[0048] 4. Push back the tray base 22: after pre-pressing, the second cylinder 8 pushes the cutting knife 6 heated to an appropriate temperature to the product, and cuts off the connection between the root and the product by strong cutting force.

[0049] 5. Positioning and starting: when the tray base 22 moves to the position where it contacts with the limiting block 313, the electromagnetic adsorption structure on the tray base 22 is adsorbed with the limiting block 313, firmly fixing the tray base 22 at this position. At the same time, the in-place sensor 321 installed on the mounting table senses that the tray base 22 has arrived, and sends this information to the control unit 6. The control unit 6 sends instructions to automatically start the equipment.

[0050] The material transfer device provided by the utility model, including machine table 1, the tray assembly 2 for carrying material movably installed in the machine table 1, the guide assembly 3 of transmission connection with the tray assembly 2, and the control unit 6 for the instruction control of guide assembly 3 communication connection with guide assembly 3, guide assembly 3 is used to guide tray assembly 2 to move after responding to the control instruction of control unit 6. Through the cooperation of control unit 6 and guide assembly 3, high automation and accurate control are realized, manual intervention error is reduced, accurate material transportation to the specified position is ensured, the production precision requirement is met; on the other hand, the movable tray assembly 2 is driven by guide assembly 3 to realize efficient material flow, significantly shorten the transfer time, and improve the production efficiency.

[0051] The above is only a specific embodiment of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this, any skilled person in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the utility model, which should be covered in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
