The connection mode between the rack 100 and the material distribution mechanism includes but is not limited to welding, threaded connection and buckle connection and the like.

[0079] It can be understood that when the multiple stacked trays 900 move to the first or second dispensing station, the dispensing mechanism dispenses a single tray 900 from the multiple stacked trays 900 to move the single tray 900 to the first or second transfer station; when a single tray 900 moves to the first or second dispensing station, the dispensing mechanism places the single tray 900 below other stacked trays 900 to achieve collection of the trays 900, so that a certain number of trays 900 are collectively moved to the first or second loading and unloading station, which can be taken away by a human or a mechanical arm.

[0080] It can be understood that the entire loading and unloading process of the loading and unloading device includes the following two:

[0081] One is to load from the bottom and unload from the top,

[0082] The first conveying mechanism 200 conveys multiple stacked full trays 900 from the first loading and unloading station to the first dispensing station, the dispensing mechanism allows the multiple full trays 900 to pass through the first conveying mechanism 200 to the first transfer station, the transplanting mechanism 400 moves the full trays 900 at the first transfer station to the processing station so that the processing mechanism transfers the products in the full trays 900, then transports the empty trays 900 on the processing station to the second transfer station, the second conveying mechanism 300 conveys the empty trays 900 from the second transfer station to the second dispensing station, and the dispensing mechanism places the empty trays 900 below other stacked empty trays 900 to achieve collection of the empty trays 900, so that the second conveying mechanism 300 conveys multiple empty trays 900 to the second loading and unloading station together;

[0085] The feeding and discharging device provided by the embodiment of the present application saves the floor area and realizes bidirectional feeding and discharging, that is, feeding from below and discharging from above, or feeding from above and discharging from below, so that the feeding and discharging direction can be switched according to the layout of the production line and different feeding and discharging requirements, thereby improving the production efficiency and the use range.

[0086] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 The feeding and discharging mechanism includes two feeding structures 510 respectively located at the first feeding station and the second feeding station, so that the feeding and discharging operations of the trays 900 located at the first feeding station and the second feeding station can be performed by the two feeding structures 510, thereby improving the production efficiency.

[0087] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The feeding structure 510 includes a jacking assembly and two oppositely arranged linear driving members 513. The fixed end of the jacking assembly is mounted to the rack 100, and the driving end of the jacking assembly is connected to the first bearing table 512 for driving the first bearing table 512 to move in the vertical direction, and the first bearing table 512 is used to bear the tray 900. The fixed end of the linear driving member 513 is mounted to the rack 100, and the driving end of the linear driving member 513 is connected to the feeding limiting member 514 for driving the feeding limiting member 514 to move in the second horizontal direction, and the feeding limiting member 514 is used to support the tray 900, and the second horizontal direction intersects the first horizontal direction.

[0088] It can be understood that, in order to realize the collection and feeding of the tray 900, the two feeding limiting members 514 are oppositely arranged and approach or move away from each other in the second horizontal direction so as to support the two side portions of the tray 900 arranged in the second horizontal direction, and the first bearing table 512 is located between the two second feeding limiting members 514 so as to support the middle portion of the tray 900. Exemplarily, the jacking assembly includes but is not limited to a lifting cylinder; and the linear driving member 513 includes but is not limited to a linear motor.

[0089] That is, when multiple trays 900 need to be fed, the bottom surface of the tray 900 located at the bottom of the multiple stacked trays 900 abuts against the first bearing table 512, the first bearing table 512 is driven upward by the jacking assembly, and the two feeding limiting members approach each other in the second horizontal direction to abut against the bottom surface of the second tray 900 from bottom to top, the first bearing table 512 is driven downward by the jacking assembly, the tray 900 located at the bottom moves synchronously with the first bearing table 512 and is separated from the other trays 900, and the tray 900 is placed on the conveying belt (including at least one of the first conveying belt 210 and the second conveying belt 310);

[0090] When it is needed to collect the single tray 900, the bottom surface of the tray 900 located at the bottom of the plurality of stacked trays 900 abuts against the first bearing table 512, the first bearing table 512 is driven upward by the jacking assembly, and the two material distribution limiting components are moved closer to each other along the second horizontal direction to abut against the bottom surface of the tray 900 located at the bottom. The first bearing table 512 is first moved downward to bear the single tray 900, and the tray 900 is moved upward to abut against the bottom surface of the tray 900 located at the bottom. Then, the two material distribution limiting components 514 are moved away from each other along the second horizontal direction to be separated from the tray 900, so that the tray 900 and the remaining trays 900 are stacked together and placed on the first bearing table 512.

[0091] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The material distribution limiting component 514 includes a main body part 5141, an arm 5142, and an abutting block 5143. The main body part 5141 is arranged at the driving end of the linear driving member 513. The arm 5142 extends along the second horizontal direction. The two ends of the arm 5142 along the second horizontal direction are connected to the main body part 5141 and the abutting block 5143, respectively. The top surface of the arm 5142 is higher than the top surface of the abutting block 5143. Exemplarily, the linear driving member 513 includes but is not limited to a linear motor.

[0092] It can be understood that, by arranging the top surface of the arm 5142 and the top surface of the abutting block 5143, the connection between the arm 5142 and the abutting block 5143 forms a step for abutting and cooperating with the tray 900. That is, the side surface of the arm 5142 away from the main body part 5141 abuts against the side surface of the tray 900, and the top surface of the abutting block 5143 abuts against the bottom surface of the tray 900. The abutting block 5143 provides support while limiting the tray 900 along the second horizontal direction, which helps to ensure that the tray 900 remains stable during the material distribution and collection processes, and improves the reliability and efficiency of the material distribution mechanism.

[0093] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The arm 5142 and the abutting block 5143 are arranged in pairs. The two arms 5142 are arranged in pairs along the first horizontal direction. The abutting block 5143 and the arm 5142 are connected in pairs, so that the material distribution limiting component 514 has a U-shaped structure, which increases the contact area with the tray 900 and improves the stability and uniformity of the support.

[0094] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The abutting block 5143 has two first guide surfaces 51431 arranged opposite to each other on the side away from the main body part 5141. The distance between the two first guide surfaces 51431 along the up-down direction gradually decreases away from the main body part 5141.

[0095] It can be understood that by arranging two oppositely arranged first guide surfaces 51431 on each abutting block 5143, and the distance between the two first guide surfaces 51431 in the up-down direction gradually decreases in the direction away from the main body part 5141. That is, the first guide surface 51431 located above is inclined from top to bottom in the direction away from the corresponding main body part 5141, and the first guide surface 51431 located below is inclined from bottom to top in the direction away from the corresponding main body part 5141, thereby facilitating smooth insertion and withdrawal between the plurality of stacked trays 900, reducing impact and damage to the edges of the trays 900, and achieving accurate alignment with the trays 900.

[0096] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The side of the support arm 5142 close to the abutting block 5143 includes a first inclined surface 51421, which is inclined from top to bottom in the direction away from the main body part 5141.

[0097] It can be understood that considering that the abutting block 5143 will generate an action force in the second horizontal direction when inserting and withdrawing the plurality of stacked trays 900, the first inclined surface 51421 is arranged to guide the trays 900 to align the stack and reduce friction and collision between the trays 900.

[0098] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The bottom surface of the abutting block 5143 and the bottom surface of the support arm 5142 together form a continuous plane, which helps to disperse the weight of the trays 900 and reduce single-point stress, thereby improving the stability of the trays 900 during the distribution process and enhancing the support strength.

[0099] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The main body part 5141, the support arm 5142 and the abutting block 5143 are integrally formed, which improves the structural strength of the entire distribution limiting part 514 and simplifies the production process.

[0100] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the transplanting mechanism 400 comprises a lifting structure 410, a second carrying table 420, a moving structure 430 and a clamping assembly 440, the fixed end of the lifting structure 410 is arranged on the rack 100; the second carrying table 420 is used for carrying the tray 900, the driving end of the lifting structure 410 is connected with the second carrying table 420, and the second carrying table 420 is driven by the lifting structure 410 to move along the vertical direction between the first transfer station and the processing station; the fixed end of the moving structure 430 is arranged on the rack 100; the clamping assembly 440 is used for clamping the tray 900, and the driving end of the moving structure 430 is connected with the clamping assembly 440, and the clamping assembly 440 is driven by the moving structure 430 to move along the first horizontal direction. Exemplarily, the lifting structure 410 and the moving structure 430 each comprise but are not limited to a linear motor.

[0101] It can be understood that when the second carrying table 420 is at the first transfer station, the first conveying mechanism 200 conveys the tray 900 from the first distributing station to the second carrying table 420, the lifting structure 410 drives the second carrying table 420 to move upward to the processing station, the clamping assembly 440 clamps the tray 900, and then the lifting structure 410 drives the second carrying table 420 to move downward to the first transfer station, and the clamping assembly 440 drives the tray 900 to move along the first horizontal direction to the second transfer station; when the clamping assembly 440 is at the second transfer station and clamps the tray 900 conveyed from the second distributing station, the clamping assembly 440 drives the tray 900 to move along the first horizontal direction to the processing station, the lifting structure 410 drives the second carrying table 420 to move upward to the processing station, and the clamping assembly 440 releases the tray 900 after the tray 900 is carried on the second carrying table 420, and the clamping assembly 440 drives the second carrying table 420 to move downward to the first transfer station.

[0102] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 As shown, the clamping assembly 440 comprises a mounting seat 441, a first supporting block 442 and two second supporting blocks 443, the mounting seat 441 is connected with the driving end of the moving structure 430 and forms an avoiding space for avoiding the second carrying table 420; the first supporting block 442 is arranged on the top of the mounting seat 441 and is used for supporting the end of the tray 900 along the first horizontal direction; the second supporting blocks 443 are movably arranged on the top of the mounting seat 441 along the second horizontal direction, and the two second supporting blocks 443 are used for respectively supporting the ends of the tray 900 along the second horizontal direction.

[0103] Understandably, the projection of the mounting base 441 along the vertical direction is U-shaped, so that the second support platform 420 can enter or exit the clearance space under the drive of the lifting structure 410, reducing the possibility of interference between the clamping assembly 440 and the second support platform 420 during the transfer of the tray 900. Simultaneously, since the first support block 442 supports the end in the first horizontal direction, and the second support block 443 supports the end of the tray 900 along the second horizontal direction, i.e., the first support block 442 and the two second support blocks 443 are arranged outside the clearance space and abut against the three sides and bottom surface of the tray 900, the tray 900 remains stable during movement along the first horizontal direction. Furthermore, the second support block 443 is movably disposed on the top of the mounting base 441 along the second horizontal direction, which not only accommodates trays 900 of different sizes but also reduces interference between the second support platform 420 and the tray 900 when the tray is moved into the clearance space, improving the versatility and flexibility of the clamping assembly 440.

[0104] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the C-shaped opening faces the second conveying mechanism 300, that is, the first support block 442 is located on the side away from the second conveying mechanism 300 along the first horizontal direction; of course, in other embodiments, when the mounting base 441 is higher than the second conveyor belt 310, the C-shaped opening may also be away from the second conveying mechanism 300, that is, the first support block 442 is located on the side close to the second conveying mechanism 300 along the first horizontal direction. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0105] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the clamping assembly 440 also includes two side-push drive members 450, each corresponding to one of the two second support blocks 443. The fixed end of the side-push drive member 450 is disposed on the mounting base 441, and the driving end of the side-push drive member 450 is connected to the second support block 443 for driving the second support block 443 to move along a second horizontal direction. For example, the side-push drive member 450 may include, but is not limited to, a linear motor.

[0106] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the end face of the first support block 442, which is arranged along the first horizontal direction, has a second guide surface 4421, and the second guide surface 4421 is inclined from top to bottom toward the clearance space. It should be noted that the inclination angle and inclination magnitude of the second guide surface 4421 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0107] It can be understood that the third guide surface 4431 helps to guide the tray 900 to be smoothly transferred from the second carrier table 420 to the second support block 443, reduces the possibility of hard contact of the tray 900 in the transfer process, thereby protecting the edge of the tray 900 from being damaged and prolonging the service life of the tray 900.

[0108] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 The end surface of the second support block 443 arranged along the second horizontal direction has a third guide surface 4431, and the third guide surface 4431 is inclined from top to bottom towards the direction close to the avoiding space. It should be noted that the inclination angle and inclination size of the third guide surface 4431 can be designed according to actual requirements, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitation thereto.

[0109] It can be understood that the third guide surface 4431 helps to guide the tray 900 to be smoothly transferred from the second carrier table 420 to the second support block 443, reduces the possibility of hard contact of the tray 900 in the transfer process, thereby protecting the edge of the tray 900 from being damaged and prolonging the service life of the tray 900.

[0110] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 The first conveying mechanism 200 includes two first conveying belts 210 and a first driving member 220 arranged along the second horizontal direction, the first material distributing station is arranged close to the middle part of the first conveying belt 210, the first conveying belt 210 extends along the first horizontal direction and is used for carrying the tray 900, the second horizontal direction intersects with the first horizontal direction; the fixed end of the first driving member 220 is installed on the rack 100, the driving end of the first driving member 220 is connected with at least one first conveying belt 210 and is used for driving the two first conveying belts 210 to synchronously operate. The first driving member 220 includes but is not limited to a motor reducer.

[0111] It can be understood that the first carrier table 512 and the second carrier table 420 located at the first material distributing station are both located between the two first conveying belts 210, when the first conveying belt 210 drives the tray 900 to move along the first horizontal direction, the tray 900 can be transferred between the first conveying belt 210 and the first carrier table 512 through the jacking assembly, and the tray 900 can be transferred between the first conveying belt 210 and the second carrier table 420 through the lifting structure 410. In addition, by arranging two first conveying belts 210 arranged along the second horizontal direction and synchronously operating, the stability of the tray 900 in the conveying process and the transfer process can be ensured.

[0112] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the first transfer station is arranged at one end of the first conveying belt 210; the first conveying mechanism 200 further comprises a mounting frame 230 and a plurality of conveying rollers 240 arranged in a first horizontal direction; the mounting frame 230 is arranged at the other end of the first conveying belt 210 and is provided with a first feeding and discharging station; and the conveying rollers 240 are rotatably arranged on the mounting frame 230.

[0113] It can be understood that the conveying rollers 240 and the lifting structure 410 are respectively located at two sides of the first conveying belt 210, i.e., the first feeding and discharging station is located at the conveying rollers 240, and the first transfer station is located at a side of the first conveying belt 210 away from the conveying rollers 240. By arranging the conveying rollers 240 on the mounting frame 230, not only the feeding and discharging are facilitated, but also the tray 900 can be smoothly switched between the stationary state and the moving state, the impact of the tray 900 in the state switching process is reduced, the tray 900 is properly positioned on the first conveying belt 210, the deviation of the tray 900 in the conveying process is reduced, and the possibility of product overflowing the edge of the tray 900 due to acceleration of the first conveying belt 210 is reduced. Exemplarily, the conveying rollers 240 extend along a second horizontal direction.

[0114] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The second conveying mechanism 300 comprises two second conveying belts 310 arranged in a second horizontal direction and a second driving member 320. The second distribution station is arranged near the middle of the second conveying belts 310, and the second transfer station and the second feeding and discharging station are arranged at two ends of the second conveying belts 310.

The fixed end of the second driving member 320 is mounted on the rack 100, and the driving end of the second driving member 320 is connected with at least one second conveying belt 310 for driving the two second conveying belts 310 to synchronously run. The second driving member 320 includes but is not limited to a motor reducer.

[0115] It can be understood that the first carrying table 512 at the second distribution station is located between the two second conveying belts 310. When the second conveying belts 310 drive the tray 900 to move along the first horizontal direction, the tray 900 can be transferred between the second conveying belts 310 and the second carrying table 420 through the jacking assembly. In addition, by arranging two second conveying belts 310 arranged in the second horizontal direction and synchronously running, the stability of the tray 900 in the conveying process and the transfer process can be ensured.

[0116] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the second conveying mechanism 300 further comprises a third supporting table 330 and a lifting driving member, the third supporting table 330 is located between the two second conveying belts 310 and close to the second transfer station, for carrying the tray 900; the fixed end of the lifting driving member is arranged on the rack 100, and the driving end of the lifting driving member is connected with the third supporting table 330, for driving the tray 900 to move along the vertical direction. The lifting driving member includes but is not limited to a lifting cylinder.

[0117] It can be understood that when the clamping assembly 440 clamps the tray 900 to move above the end of the second conveying belt 310 along the first horizontal direction, the lifting driving member drives the third supporting table 330 to move upward to make the top surface of the third supporting table 330 and the bottom surface of the tray 900 abut, the clamping assembly 440 reverses the movement along the first horizontal direction, and the lifting driving member drives the third supporting table 330 to move downward until the tray 900 is placed on the second conveying belt 310, so as to realize the smooth transfer between the tray 900 and the second conveying belt 310.
