[0026] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] Example: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, this utility model discloses a dual-channel loading and unloading mechanism, including a horizontal mounting base 1. The horizontal mounting base 1 is provided with two independent and parallel feeding channels 2. Each feeding channel 2 has parallel conveyor belts 3 on both sides. A horizontally placed carrier plate 4 is placed between the two conveyor belts 3, and the conveyor belts 3 drive the carrier plate to move. The horizontal mounting base 1 is provided with a positioning area for positioning the carrier plate 4 at the front end of the feeding channel 2, and the positioning area is provided with a positioning mechanism 5 for positioning the carrier plate 4.

[0028] Each carrier plate 4 is equipped with a locking mechanism for positioning the product, and the horizontal mounting frame 1 is equipped with an unlocking mechanism for unlocking the locking mechanism on the carrier plate 4. The horizontal mounting frame 1 has two independent and parallel feeding channels 2, each containing a horizontally placed carrier plate 4. The front end of each feeding channel has a positioning area for positioning the carrier plate 4, and the positioning area is equipped with a positioning mechanism 5 for positioning the carrier plate 4. Each carrier plate 4 is equipped with a locking mechanism for positioning the product, and the horizontal mounting frame 1 is equipped with an unlocking mechanism for unlocking the locking mechanism on the carrier plate 4. The dual channels are used to load and unload the carrier plates 4 containing the product, resulting in high loading and unloading efficiency. The carrier plate 4 is initially loaded with the product using an external loading mechanism and locked using the locking mechanism. The feeding channel 2 then drives the carrier plate 4 to be fed. Upon reaching the designated position, the positioning mechanism 5 positions the carrier plate 4, and the unlocking mechanism unlocks the locking mechanism, facilitating the removal of the product for the next process. This utility model adopts a dual-channel feeding mode, which greatly reduces the workload of employees and improves equipment output. In addition, it has a good positioning effect on the product during the conveying process, avoiding deviation and causing inconvenience to subsequent feeding work.

[0029] The positioning mechanism 5 includes a baffle 6 mounted on the horizontal mounting base 1 and located at the foremost end of the feeding channel 2. The baffle 6 blocks the front end of the carrier plate 4. A pressure sensor 7 is mounted on the baffle 6 to detect the positioning status of the carrier plate 4. The horizontal mounting base 1 also includes a locking mechanism for locking the carrier plate 4 after it has been blocked and limited. When the front end of the carrier plate 4 is blocked by the baffle 6, the pressure sensor 7 generates a pressure signal when the carrier plate contacts the baffle, indicating that the carrier plate has reached the correct position. This facilitates the locking mechanism in accurately locking the carrier plate 4 after it has been blocked and limited.

[0030] The locking mechanism includes a positioning telescopic cylinder 8 mounted on the horizontal mounting base 1 and located at the front and rear ends of the carrier plate 4. The telescopic end of the positioning telescopic cylinder 8 is provided with a positioning post 9, and the bottom of the upper front and rear ends of the carrier plate 4 is provided with positioning holes 10 for the end of the positioning post 9 to be inserted. The positioning telescopic cylinder 8 drives the positioning post 9 to extend and retract, inserting it into the positioning hole 10 on the carrier plate 4. Thus, the locking function is achieved through the cooperation of the positioning hole 10 and the positioning post 9.

[0031] When the pressure sensor 7 detects that the front end of the carrier plate 4 is in contact with the baffle 6, the positioning telescopic cylinder 8 extends and inserts the positioning pin 9 into the positioning hole 10 to achieve positioning of the carrier plate 4, thus enabling accurate positioning.

[0032] The locking mechanism includes multiple positioning slots 11 disposed on the carrier plate 4 for positioning the product. Each positioning slot 11 has a positioning block 13 installed on its side via an elastic member 12 for positioning the product inserted into the positioning slot 11. This fixes the product in the positioning slot and prevents the product from slipping out of the positioning slot 11 when moving.

[0033] The positioning block 13 is disposed on the surface of the carrier plate 4, and the surface of the carrier plate 4 is provided with a limiting groove 14 for limiting the linear movement of the positioning block, which plays a role in limiting the linear movement of the positioning block and enabling smooth linear movement.

[0034] The positioning block 13 is inclined to the direction of movement of the carrier plate 4. The unlocking mechanism includes a lifting platform 15 disposed on the horizontal mounting base 1 and located directly below the locked carrier plate. The upper surface of the lifting platform 15 is provided with an electric slide 16 parallel to the direction of movement of the positioning block 13. The moving end of the electric slide 16 is provided with a base plate 17, and the base plate 17 is provided with a plurality of vertically upward locking posts 18. The positioning block 13 is provided with a through hole 19 for the end of the locking post 18 to be engaged. The carrier plate 4 is provided with a strip groove that is consistent with the direction of movement of the positioning block 13 and allows the locking post 18 to pass through. The lifting and lowering of the lifting platform realizes the engagement and separation of the locking post 18 and the through hole 19. When unlocking, the locking post 18 is engaged in the through hole 19, and then the electric slide 16 moves the base plate 17, and the locking post 18 moves the positioning block 13 along the strip groove, thereby releasing the positioning function of the positioning block 13 and facilitating the removal of the product.

[0035] The front end of the locking post 18 is provided with a guide end to facilitate docking. The horizontal mounting base 1 is provided with a limiting plate 20 in the positioning area to prevent the carrier plate from moving upward.

[0036] Working principle: Two independent and parallel feeding channels 2 are provided on the horizontal mounting base 1. Each feeding channel 2 contains a horizontally placed carrier plate 4. The front end of the feeding channel has a positioning area for positioning the carrier plate 4, and the positioning area is equipped with a positioning mechanism 5 for positioning the carrier plate 4. Each carrier plate 4 is equipped with a locking mechanism for positioning the product, and the horizontal mounting base 1 is equipped with an unlocking mechanism for unlocking the locking mechanism on the carrier plate 4. The dual channels are used to load and unload the carrier plate 4 containing the product, thus achieving the advantage of high loading and unloading efficiency. The carrier plate 4 is loaded with the product at the front end by an external loading mechanism and locked by a locking mechanism. Then, the feeding channel 2 drives the carrier plate 4 to be fed. After reaching the designated position, the positioning mechanism 5 positions the carrier plate 4, and then the unlocking mechanism unlocks the locking mechanism. This facilitates the removal of the product for the next process. This utility model adopts a dual-channel feeding mode, which greatly reduces the workload of employees and improves equipment output. In addition, it has a good positioning effect on the product during the conveying process, avoiding deviation and causing inconvenience to subsequent feeding work.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
