[0059] Embodiments of the present application are described below in detail, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary, only for explaining the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0060] Reference is made below to Figures 1-10 The present application provides an up-down feeding device, which comprises a housing 100, a magazine 200, two carrier flow lines 300 and two carrying devices.

[0061] The housing 100 forms a containing cavity with a feeding port 102 and a discharging port. The magazine 200 is arranged in the containing cavity and is used for storing carriers 900. It should be noted that the shapes and sizes of the containing cavity, the feeding port 102, the discharging port and the magazine 200 can be designed according to actual needs, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereon.

[0062] The carrier flow lines 300 are arranged in the containing cavity, one discharging end of one of the carrier flow lines 300 is close to the discharging port, and one feeding end of the other carrier flow line 300 is close to the feeding port 102; the carrying devices are arranged in the containing cavity and correspond to the carrier flow lines 300 one by one, and are used for transferring the carriers 900 between the magazine 200 and the corresponding carrier flow lines 300.

[0063] It can be understood that the carriers 900 in the magazine 200 are transferred to the feeding end of one of the carrier flow lines 300 by one of the carrying devices, and then are transported to the discharging end of the carrier flow line 300 and are sent out of the housing 100 through the discharging port, so as to carry products for subsequent processing procedures; at the same time, the carriers 900 that have been used outside the housing 100 are placed at the feeding end of the other carrier flow line 300 through the feeding port 102, and then the carriers 900 transported to the discharging end of the carrier flow line 300 are transferred to the magazine 200 by the other carrying device, so as to realize the automatic management of the carriers 900, and can reduce the time and cost of carrying and transporting the carriers 900, and improve the utilization rate of the carriers 900.

[0064] According to the feeding and discharging device provided in the embodiments of the present application, the circulation of the carriers 900 is realized through the carrier flow line 300, that is, a part of the empty carriers 900 are moved from the stock bin 200 to the production line while another part of the empty carriers 900 can be timely returned from the production line to the stock bin 200, thereby saving time and effort and improving the utilization rate of the carriers 900.

[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the carrier flow line 300 comprises a conveying frame 310, a first conveying belt assembly for conveying the carriers 900, a carrier assembly 330 for carrying the carriers 900, and a first driving assembly 340. The fixed end of the first conveying belt assembly is arranged on the conveying frame 310, and the first conveying belt 321 of the first conveying belt assembly extends along a first horizontal direction. The fixed end of the first driving assembly 340 is arranged on the conveying frame 310, and the output end of the first driving assembly 340 is connected with the carrier assembly 330 for driving the carrier assembly 330 to move along the up-down direction to approach or move away from the first conveying belt 321. The first driving assembly 340 includes but is not limited to a lifting cylinder.

[0066] It can be understood that the conveying frame 310 is usually made of metal or other solid materials to ensure the stability and durability of the whole system. The first conveying belt assembly conveys the carriers 900 along the first horizontal direction to approach the discharge port, or conveys the carriers 900 from the feeding port 102 to approach the stock bin 200. That is, when the carriers 900 need to be transferred by the handling device, the output end of the first driving assembly 340 drives the carrier assembly 330 to move upward until the carrier assembly 330 carries the carriers 900, and continues to move upward to a transfer position, while the carriers 900 move away from the first conveying belt assembly. After the handling device grabs the carriers 900 from the carrier assembly 330, the output end of the first driving assembly 340 drives the carrier assembly 330 to move downward to an initial position. When the carriers 900 need to be received from the handling device, the output end of the first driving assembly 340 drives the carrier assembly 330 to move upward to the transfer position, while the handling device releases the carriers 900 to the carrier assembly 330. The output end of the first driving assembly 340 drives the carrier assembly 330 to move downward to the initial position, while the carriers 900 are placed on the first conveying belt assembly for subsequent movement along the first horizontal direction to approach the discharge port. In this way, time and effort are saved, the automatic transfer of the carriers is realized, the structure of the carrier flow line 300 is more compact, and the space utilization rate and the transfer efficiency are improved.

[0067] In the embodiments, the first horizontal direction is parallel to the length direction of the carriers 900, so that the whole feeding and discharging device is more compact.

[0068] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4As shown, the carrier flow line 300 further comprises a limiting assembly for limiting the moving range of the carrying assembly 330.

[0069] It can be understood that the limiting assembly avoids the carrying assembly 330 from moving too high or too low, which helps to reduce the interference between the carrying assembly 330 and the remaining parts in the carrier flow line 300, and improves the safety and reliability of the carrier flow line 300.

[0070] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first conveying belt assembly comprises two first conveying belts 321 arranged along the second horizontal direction, the carrying assembly 330 comprises a carrying plate 331 and a connecting piece, the carrying plate 331 is located between the two first conveying belts 321; the connecting piece is connected with the output end of the first driving assembly 340, and the connecting piece and the carrying plate 331 are connected and jointly form two through grooves 3301 corresponding to the first conveying belts 321. It should be noted that the shape and size of the through groove 3301 can be designed according to actual needs, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitation on this.

[0071] It can be understood that the carrying plate 331 is located between the two first conveying belts 321 along the second horizontal direction, which facilitates the transfer of the carrier 900 between the carrying plate 331 and the first conveying belts 321 while making the structure of the entire carrier flow line 300 more compact. At the same time, the projections of the two first conveying belts 321 along the vertical direction are located in the two corresponding through grooves 3301 respectively, so as to make the structure of the entire carrier flow line 300 more compact while reducing the interference of the first conveying belts 321 with the up-down movement of the carrying assembly 330.

[0072] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the connecting piece comprises two connecting parts arranged on the two sides of the carrying plate 331 respectively, the connecting part comprises a cross beam 3321 and a vertical beam 3322, the cross beam 3321 extends along the first horizontal direction and is connected with the carrying plate 331 to form the through groove 3301, and the cross beam 3321 is located on the side of the first conveying belt 321 away from the carrying plate 331; the vertical beam 3322 is connected with the cross beam 3321 and extends along the vertical direction, and the vertical beam 3322 is in sliding fit with the conveying frame 310.

[0073] It can be understood that the two connecting parts are located on the two sides of the carrying plate 331 along the second horizontal direction, the carrying plate 331 is arranged at the gap of the cross beam 3321 to jointly form the through groove 3301, the top end of the vertical beam 3322 is connected with the bottom end of the cross beam 3321, and the side wall of the vertical beam 3322 is in sliding fit with the side wall of the conveying frame 310, so as to guide the up-down movement of the carrying assembly 330 and improve the smooth movement of the carrying assembly 330.

[0074] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the limiting assembly includes a limiting hole and a limiting column 352 in a plug-in fit, the axis of the limiting hole extends in the up-down direction, the limiting hole is opened in one of the carrier assembly 330 and the conveying frame 310, and the limiting column 352 is arranged on the other one of the carrier assembly 330 and the conveying frame 310. It should be noted that the number and shape of the limiting column 352 can be designed according to actual needs, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereto.

[0075] It can be understood that the limiting hole is opened in one of the vertical beam 3322 and the conveying frame 310, and the limiting column 352 is protruded on the other one of the vertical beam 3322 and the conveying frame 310, that is, when the first driving assembly 340 drives the carrier assembly 330 to move upward until the limiting column 352 is plugged into the limiting hole, the range of upward movement of the carrier plate 331 is limited, thereby increasing the safety and accuracy of the use of the carrier flow line 300.

[0076] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the carrier flow line 300 further includes a first stopper 360 and a second driving assembly 370, the first stopper 360 is arranged near the end of the first conveying belt 321, and is adapted to be in abutting fit or disengagement fit with the carrier 900; the fixed end of the second driving assembly 370 is arranged on the conveying frame 310, and the output end of the second driving assembly 370 is connected with the first stopper 360, and is used to drive the first stopper 360 to move in the up-down direction. The second driving assembly 370 includes but is not limited to a lifting cylinder.

[0077] It can be understood that when the carrier assembly 330 moves between the initial position and the transfer position, the second driving assembly 370 drives the first stopper 360 to move upward to abutting fit with the carrier 900, thereby blocking the movement of the carrier 900 along the conveying direction of the first conveying belt 321; when the carrier assembly 330 moves to the initial position, the second driving assembly 370 drives the first stopper 360 to move downward to disengage with the carrier 900, so that the carrier 900 can continue to advance, thereby improving the automation degree of the carrier flow line 300 and ensuring the safety and use efficiency of the carrier flow line 300.

[0078] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the mounting position of the first stopper 360 in the second horizontal direction is adjustable, so as to adapt to carriers 900 of different sizes and shapes, thereby improving the flexibility and versatility of the use of the carrier flow line 300.

[0079] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the fixed end of the second driving assembly 370 is connected with the first positioning member and the conveying frame 310, one of the first positioning member and the conveying frame 310 is provided with a first long slot, and the other of the first positioning member and the conveying frame 310 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes which are arranged along the second horizontal direction. That is, the first stopper 360 is mounted in the adjustable position along the second horizontal direction by cooperation of the first long slot and the different first mounting holes.

[0080] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 As shown, the carrier flow line 300 further comprises a first stopper 380 which is arranged on the conveying frame 310 and close to the end of the first conveying belt 321, and is used for limiting the movement of the carrier 900 in the direction opposite to the conveying direction of the first conveying belt 321.

[0081] It can be understood that the first stopper 360 abuts against the carrier 900 during the movement of the bearing assembly 330, and the first stopper 380 is arranged to reduce the possibility that the adjacent carrier 900 on the first conveying belt 321 moves reversely due to the impact and collision caused by the stop of the first stopper 360 or the first conveying belt 321, thereby improving the safety and stability of the carrier 900 conveying.

[0082] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 The first stopper 380 and the first stopper 360 are arranged along the first horizontal direction.

[0083] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 The first stopper 380 comprises a mounting block 381, a guide block 382 and an elastic member. The mounting block 381 is arranged on the conveying frame 310. The guide block 382 is movably arranged on the mounting block 381 between a first position and a second position, and the upper surface of the guide block 382 is provided with a guide surface. The elastic member is connected with the guide block 382 and the mounting block 381 respectively, and is used for driving the guide block 382 to switch from the second position to the first position. When the guide block 382 is in the first position, the guide surface is adapted to abut against the outer side wall of the carrier 900, and the guide surface is inclined upward along the conveying direction of the first conveying belt 321. When the guide block 382 is in the second position, the guide surface and the bottom surface of the carrier 900 slide against each other. The elastic member includes but is not limited to a spring.

[0084] It can be understood that when the guide block 382 is in the first position, the guide surface is inclined upward along the conveying direction of the first conveying belt 321, which helps to guide the smooth movement of the carrier 900 in the first horizontal direction. That is, when the carrier 900 passes above the guide block 382 under the action of the first conveying belt 321, the guide block 382 is switched to the second position and the elastic member is deformed, and when the carrier 900 completely leaves the guide block 382, the guide block 382 is switched to the first position under the action of the self-rebound force of the elastic member, so that when the carrier 900 moves reversely, it is blocked by the side wall of the guide block 382, thereby preventing the carrier 900 from sliding reversely.

[0085] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 , the guide block 382 is rotationally arranged on the mounting block 381, and the rotation axis is parallel to the second horizontal direction.

[0086] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 , the mounting position of the first retaining member 380 along the second horizontal direction is adjustable, so as to adapt to carriers 900 of different sizes and shapes, and improve the flexibility and universality of the carrier flow line 300.

[0087] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 , the mounting block 381 is connected to the conveying rack 310 through the second positioning member, and one of the second positioning member and the conveying rack 310 is provided with a second long slot, and the other of the second positioning member and the conveying rack 310 is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes arranged along the second horizontal direction, that is, the second long slot and different second mounting holes are matched, so as to realize the adjustable mounting position of the first retaining member 380 along the second horizontal direction.

[0088] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 , the mounting position of the first retaining member 380 along the first horizontal direction is adjustable, so as to adapt to carriers 900 of different sizes and shapes, and improve the flexibility and universality of the carrier flow line 300.

[0089] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 , one of the mounting block 381 and the second positioning member is provided with a third long slot, and the other of the mounting block 381 and the second positioning member is provided with a plurality of third mounting holes arranged along the first horizontal direction, that is, the third long slot and different third mounting holes are matched, so as to realize the adjustable mounting position of the guide block 382 along the first horizontal direction.

[0090] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 2 , two carrier flow lines 300 are spaced apart along the first horizontal direction, and the feeding port 102 and the discharging port are respectively arranged on the two side surfaces of the housing 100 which are oppositely arranged along the first horizontal direction.

[0091] It can be understood that the feeding port 102, one of the carrier flow lines 300, the other carrier flow line 300 and the discharging port are sequentially arranged along the first horizontal direction, which helps to realize the continuous flow of the carriers 900, reduces the waiting time and the possibility of cross interference of the carriers 900 during carrying and transferring, balances the load of the feeding and discharging equipment, reduces the potential mechanical stress or wear caused by one-sided overload, and improves the use efficiency and reliability of the feeding and discharging equipment.

[0092] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 6-8 , Figure 6 The carrying device includes a clamping mechanism 400 and a transfer mechanism 500. The clamping mechanism 400 is used to drive the carriers 900 to transfer between the carrier flow lines 300 and the transfer mechanism 500. The transfer mechanism 500 is used to take and place the carriers 900 from the silos 200 and carry the carriers 900.

[0093] It can be understood that the clamping mechanism 400 moves the carriers 900 from the carrying plate 331 to the transfer mechanism 500 or clamps the carriers 900 on the transfer mechanism 500 to the carrying plate 331. The transfer mechanism 500 moves the carried carriers 900 to the silos 200 for storage or takes the carriers 900 from the silos 200, thereby realizing efficient and accurate transfer of the carriers 900 between the silos 200 and the carrier flow lines 300, and improving the flexibility and reliability of the feeding and discharging equipment.

[0094] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 The clamping mechanism 400 includes a clamping piece 410, a first clamping driving piece 420 and a second clamping driving piece 430. The clamping piece 410 is used to clamp and release the carriers 900. The output end of the first clamping driving piece 420 is provided with the clamping piece 410, and is used to drive the clamping piece 410 to move along the up-down direction. The fixed end of the second clamping driving piece 430 is arranged on the housing 100, and the output end of the second clamping driving piece 430 is connected to the fixed end of the first clamping driving piece 420, and is used to drive the first clamping driving piece 420 to move along the second horizontal direction. The first clamping driving piece 420 and the second clamping driving piece 430 include but are not limited to linear air cylinders.

[0095] It can be understood that the first clamping driving piece 420 and the second clamping driving piece 430 are used to move the clamping piece 410 along the up-down direction and the second horizontal direction respectively, so as to approach or move away from one of the transfer mechanism 500 and the carrier flow lines 300, thereby improving the automation of the feeding and discharging equipment.

[0096] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 8-10As shown, the clamping member 410 includes a third clamping driving member and two oppositely arranged clamping jaws, a fixed end of the third clamping driving member is connected with the output end of the first clamping driving member 420, and output ends of the third clamping driving member are respectively connected with the two clamping jaws, for driving the two clamping jaws to move towards or away from each other along the second horizontal direction, so as to clamp or release the carrier 900. The third clamping driving member includes but is not limited to a linear air cylinder.

[0097] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 8-10 As shown, the transfer mechanism 500 includes a mounting bracket 510, a transfer driving assembly, and a carrying platform 530, the mounting bracket 510 is arranged in the housing 100; a fixed end of the transfer driving assembly is arranged in the mounting bracket 510; the carrying platform 530 is used for carrying the carrier 900, and an output end of the transfer driving assembly is connected with the carrying platform 530, for driving the carrying platform 530 to move along the first horizontal direction, the second horizontal direction, and the up-down direction respectively, and the first horizontal direction, the second horizontal direction, and the up-down direction intersect with each other.

[0098] It can be understood that the mounting bracket 510 is arranged in the housing 100 to provide stable support, and the carrying platform 530 is driven by the transfer driving assembly to move along the first horizontal direction, the second horizontal direction, and the up-down direction respectively, so as to realize accurate transfer of the carrier 900 while ensuring stability and safety during movement, providing flexibility and automation degree of use.

[0101] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 9 As shown, the conveying directions of the first belt conveyor 521 and the second belt conveyor 522 are parallel to the first horizontal direction.

[0103] It can be understood that the first support block 5212 is arranged on the base 5211 for supporting the first conveying belt 5213 and ensuring correct tensioning and guiding of the first conveying belt 5213. Meanwhile, the first conveying belt 5213 is annular and rotatably sleeved outside the first support block 5212, that is, the first conveying belt 5213 realizes power transmission while keeping the first conveying belt 5213 in a tensioned state at all times by the first support block 5212 to ensure stability of movement.

[0104] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 9 As shown, the second belt conveyor 522 comprises a second support block 5221 and a second conveying belt 5222, the second support block 5221 is slidingly arranged on the base 5211 and connected with the first conveying belt 5213; the second conveying belt 5222 is sleeved outside the second support block 5221 and connected with the bearing platform 530, and the second conveying belt 5222 extends along the first horizontal direction.

[0107] It can be understood that the first support block 5212 and the second support block 5221 are located below the bearing platform 530, which provides stable support for the bearing platform 530 while reducing interference with the operation space above the bearing platform 530. The first support block 5212 and the second support block 5221 are spaced apart along the second horizontal direction, which makes the structure of the transfer mechanism 500 more compact and provides better weight distribution, reduces the pressure borne by a single support point, and thus improves the stability and durability of the entire transfer mechanism 500.

[0108] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 9 , one of the second support block 5221 and the base 5211 is provided with a first sliding rail 5231 extending along the first horizontal direction, and the other of the second support block 5221 and the base 5211 is provided with a first sliding block matched with the first sliding rail 5231.

[0112] It can be understood that through the sliding cooperation between the second sliding rail 5233 and the second sliding block, the relative sliding between the first support block 5212 and the bearing platform 530 along the first horizontal direction is realized, so as to improve the accuracy and stability of the movement of the bearing platform 530 under the drive of the first conveying belt 5213 and the second conveying belt 5222.

[0113] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 9As shown in

[0114] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 9 As shown in

[0115] It can be understood that the second support block 5221 is located between the connecting block 5234 and the first support block 5212 along the second horizontal direction, thereby protecting the second support block 5221 and the second conveying belt 5222, and improving the accuracy and stability of the movement of the carrying platform 530 under the driving of the first conveying belt 5213 and the second conveying belt 5222 through the relative sliding between the third sliding rail 5235 and the third sliding block 5236 along the first horizontal direction.

[0116] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 8 As shown in

[0117] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 7 As shown in

[0118] It can be understood that the bottom of the bearing platform 530 forms a groove penetrating the bearing platform 530 along the first horizontal direction, so that the groove and the support bars 5237 are in sliding fit when the bearing platform 530 moves along the first horizontal direction, thereby providing stable support for the bearing platform 530 while playing a guiding role in moving along the first horizontal direction, and reducing the possibility of tilting or deviation of the bearing platform 530 when carrying a heavy carrier 900 or moving a long distance along the first horizontal direction. At the same time, the rolling body 5238 is rotatably arranged on the connecting block 5234 and is arranged at intervals on the base 5211, which not only ensures that the support bars 5237 are always clamped between the rolling body 5238 and the bearing platform 530, ensuring the stability of the support bars 5237 during the movement of the bearing platform 530, but also reduces friction by using rolling friction instead of sliding friction, thereby prolonging the service life of the transfer mechanism 500.

[0119] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor 521 is parallel to the first horizontal direction, and the transfer driving assembly further includes a first driving member 524 and a second driving member 525. The fixed end of the first driving member 524 is connected to the mounting bracket 510, and the output end of the first driving member 524 is connected to the fixed end of the second driving member 525 for driving the second driving member 525 to move in the up-down direction. The output end of the second driving member 525 is connected to the fixed end of the first belt conveyor 521 for driving the first belt conveyor 521 to move in the second horizontal direction. The first driving member 524 and the second driving member 525 include but are not limited to linear motors.

[0120] It can be understood that the first driving member 524 realizes the movement of the bearing platform 530 in the up-down direction, and the second driving member 525 realizes the movement of the bearing platform 530 in the second horizontal direction. The belt driving member of the first belt conveyor 521 and the belt driving member of the second belt conveyor 522 can both realize the movement of the bearing platform 530 in the first horizontal direction, thereby adapting to complex carrier 900 handling requirements. Of course, in other embodiments, only the first belt conveyor 521 can include a belt driving member, i.e., the first belt conveyor 521 and the second belt conveyor 522 form a double-stroke mechanism, which is not specifically limited in the present embodiment.

[0121] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 the hopper 200 includes a fixed bracket 210, and the fixed bracket 210 forms a plurality of accommodation spaces 211 arranged in a matrix along the second horizontal direction and the up-down direction, and the accommodation spaces 211 are used to accommodate at least one carrier 900.

[0123] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , each accommodation space 211 accommodates only one carrier 900. Of course, in other embodiments, a plurality of stacked carriers 900 can also be accommodated, so as to improve the storage capacity of the bin 200, that is, the transfer mechanism 500, the clamping mechanism 400 and the carrier flow line 300 can simultaneously convey all the carriers 900 of one accommodation space 211, and the embodiment does not make specific limitation.

[0124] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 , the two transfer mechanisms 500 are oppositely arranged and respectively located at two sides of the bin 200 along the first horizontal direction.

[0125] It can be understood that the two transfer mechanisms 500 are oppositely arranged and respectively located at two sides of the fixed support 210 along the first horizontal direction, so as to reduce the possibility of mutual interference between the two transfer mechanisms 500 and improve the transfer efficiency. Combined with the open arrangement of the two ends of the accommodation space 211 along the first horizontal direction, the flexibility and efficiency of the operation of the transfer mechanism 500 are improved, and the space in the whole accommodating cavity is more compact.

[0126] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 , the two clamping mechanisms 400 are arranged at intervals along the first horizontal direction.

[0127] It can be understood that considering that the clamping members 410 can respectively move along the second horizontal direction and the up-down direction, by arranging the two clamping mechanisms 400 at intervals along the first horizontal direction, the corresponding transfer mechanism 500 and the carrier flow line 300 are docked while maintaining a sufficient working distance, and the mutual interference between the clamping mechanisms 400 is reduced.

[0128] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 2 , the accommodating cavity also has a first avoiding opening 104 and a second avoiding opening, and the feeding and discharging device further comprises a production flow line 600, which is arranged in the accommodating cavity and is used to drive the carrier 900 carrying the material to be conveyed from the first avoiding opening 104 to the second avoiding opening. It should be noted that the shape and size of the first avoiding opening 104 and the second avoiding opening can be designed according to actual needs, and the embodiment does not make specific limitation.

[0129] It can be understood that, considering the feeding and discharging device and other processing devices work together, so that the carrier 900 carrying the material flows out of the shell 100 from the first avoiding port 104, the production flow line 600 and the second avoiding port in turn, so that the feeding and discharging device can be seamlessly integrated into the production system, ensuring the continuous flow of materials in the production process, reducing the stagnation and handling time, and improving the production efficiency.

[0130] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 The production flow line 600 includes a fixed rack 610 connected with the conveying rack 310 and a second conveying belt assembly 620 for conveying the carrier 900 carrying the material, a fixed end of the second conveying belt assembly 620 is arranged on the conveying rack 310, and a second conveying belt of the second conveying belt assembly 620 extends along the first horizontal direction. That is, the carrier 900 is conveyed to the second avoiding port by the first avoiding port 104, realizing the transportation of the carrier 900 carrying the material.

[0131] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The production flow line 600 further includes a second stopper and a second stopper respectively arranged near two ends of the second conveying belt, the second stopper is adapted to be in abutting cooperation or disengagement with the carrier 900; and the second stopper is used to limit the movement of the carrier 900 in the direction opposite to the conveying direction of the second conveying belt. It should be noted that the specific structure of the second stopper is similar to that of the first stopper 360, and the specific structure of the second stopper is similar to that of the first stopper 380, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0132] In some embodiments, as shown in ​ The silo 200, the production flow line 600 and the carrier flow line 300 are sequentially distributed along the second horizontal direction, which helps to optimize the space utilization in the limited accommodation cavity, improve the working efficiency and safety of the feeding and discharging device, and at the same time reduce the complexity of operation.

[0133] In some embodiments, as shown in ​ and ​ The production flow line 600 is provided with a plurality of production flow lines 600 arranged in sequence along the first horizontal direction.

[0134] It can be understood that the first avoiding port 104 and the second avoiding port are relatively arranged on the two side surfaces of the shell 100 along the first horizontal direction, so that the carrier 900 carrying the material can flow out from the second avoiding port after passing through the plurality of production flow lines 600 in turn through the first avoiding port 104, which helps to realize the rapid and orderly flow of materials, reduce the stagnation and waiting time, and improve the overall production efficiency.
