As the feeding drum 230 rotates, it will convey the skewers of meat into the skewer lower slot 242, allowing the skewer lower slot 242 to store the skewers of meat in the skewer storage slot 251. After placement, the pneumatically controlled slide will control... The feeding plate 250 moves forward the distance of one skewer slot 251, so that the next skewer slot 251 will move to the bottom of the lower skewer slot 242. Then the feeding drum 230 will continue to rotate to place the meat skewers into the skewer slot 251. After completion, the above action is repeated until all the skewer slots 251 are filled with meat skewers. The interval of the above working time can be controlled by the PLC controller, and the start and stop time of the pneumatic slide and the start and stop time of the drive motor 210 can be set by the personnel through multiple experiments.

[0031] After all the meat skewers have been placed, the pneumatically controlled slide will move the skewer conveying plate 250 into the skewer pushing slot. Then, the cylinder 110 will control the long plate 120 to move through the output end, so that the top rod 121 and piston plate 122 extend into the skewer pushing slot and push the meat skewers placed in the skewer storage slot 251 toward the meat box 300, so that the meat skewers can be inserted into the meat box 300 through the skewer holes 320 to skewer the meat. After pushing is completed, the cylinder 110 retracts to reset the long plate 120, and the skewer conveying plate 250 can be reset to place the meat skewers for the next round. Personnel can open the box cover 310, remove the meat skewers, and then store a new meat placing plate 330.
