[0041] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0042] Please refer to Figures 1-4 A material storage device includes a material storage rack 1, a conveying mechanism 2, and a lifting mechanism 3; the material storage rack 1 includes multiple material storage layers 11; the conveying mechanism 2 includes multiple conveying rollers 21 spaced apart along the conveying direction; the lower end of the material storage rack 1 passes through the gap between adjacent conveying rollers 21 and is connected to the lifting mechanism 3 for transmission, so that the material located on the material storage layer 11 falls onto the conveying rollers 21.
[0043] It is understandable that by setting up a storage rack 1 and a lifting mechanism 3, and setting up multiple storage layers 11 on the storage rack 1 to store qualified aluminum plates, when the upstream process of the production line experiences a material shortage, the lifting mechanism 3 can control the storage rack 1 to descend and automatically place the aluminum plates stored on the storage layer 11 onto the conveyor roller 21 for conveying, thereby achieving continuous production and avoiding a long-term pause in the downstream process due to the interruption of material in the upstream process.
[0044] In some embodiments, the storage rack 1 includes a frame 12 and multiple support rods 13; the support rods 13 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2 to form a storage layer 11, and the support rods 13 are respectively connected to the frame 12.

Preferably, the longitudinal beams 122 and crossbeams 123 are perpendicular to each other, and the longitudinal beams 122 are perpendicular to the bottom surface of the top frame 121.
[0046] In some embodiments, the diameter of the support rod 13 is smaller than the distance between two adjacent conveyor rollers 21 to ensure the smoothness of the lifting and lowering process of the support rod 13 and to avoid interference between the support rod 13 and the conveyor rollers 21. Preferably, in the lifting and lowering direction of the support rod 13, the projection area of the support rod 13 is centrally located between the corresponding two adjacent conveyor rollers 21.
[0047] In some embodiments, the width of the longitudinal beam 122 is less than the distance between two adjacent conveying rollers 21 in the conveying direction, so as to ensure the smoothness of the lifting process of the support rod 13 and avoid interference between the support rod 13 and the conveying roller 21.
[0048] In some embodiments, the spacing between two adjacent storage layers 11 is smaller than the diameter of the conveyor roller 21 to increase the load capacity of the storage rack 1.

The drive member 31 is driven to the input ends of all the screw lifting assemblies 33 via the transmission assemblies 32.

Specifically, two transmission assemblies 32 and two screw lifting assemblies 33 are provided, and the two screw lifting assemblies 33 are driven to the corresponding crossbeams 123 to control the synchronous lifting and lowering of both sides of the storage rack 1 in the width direction, thereby improving the stability of the lifting and lowering process of the storage rack 1. Preferably, the drive member 31 is a servo motor.
[0050] In some embodiments, the transmission assembly 32 includes a transmission member 321 and at least two transmission housings 322; the transmission housing 322 includes a transmission base 3221 and a transmission gear 3222, the transmission gear 3222 being rotatably connected to the transmission base 3221; the transmission member 321 is respectively arranged around two of the transmission gears 3222 arranged sequentially along the width direction of the storage rack 1, and the transmission gears 3222 are operatively connected to the input end of the screw lifting assembly 33; the transmission member 321 is also operatively connected to the drive member 31. Preferably, the transmission member 321 is a belt. The output end of the drive member 31 is operatively connected to the transmission member 321 via a pulley to synchronously drive the two transmission gears to rotate.
[0051] In some embodiments, the screw lifting assembly 33 includes a screw body 331 and a threaded drive seat 332; the screw body 331 is threadedly connected to the threaded drive seat 332, and the screw body 331 and the threaded drive seat 332 are drively connected; the threaded drive seat 332 is connected to the crossbeam 123 of the storage rack 1. The screw body 331 and the threaded drive seat 332 drive the storage rack 1 to rise and fall, ensuring the stability of the lifting process of the storage rack 1.
[0052] In some embodiments, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a support 22; a conveying roller 21 is disposed on the top of the support 22; the fixed end of the lifting mechanism 3 is disposed on the bottom of the support 22; and the storage rack 1 is located above the support 22, passing through the top of the support 22. The support 22 serves two purposes: firstly, to support the drive structure of the conveying mechanism 2, and secondly, to provide space for the lifting mechanism 3, ensuring the stable execution of the lifting action of the storage rack 1.
