Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art.

[0044] like Figure 1-7An automatic tray dispensing mechanism is shown, comprising a cabinet 1, a tray assembly 2, a tray dispensing assembly 3, a support assembly 4, a slide rail 5, and a receiving assembly 6. The tray assembly 2 includes a support plate 21, one side of which is hinged to the cabinet 1. Multiple trays are stacked and stored on the support plate 21 along the height direction. The tray dispensing assembly 3 includes a retractable support member 32, which extends into the penultimate tray to support this tray and the trays above it. The lowest tray rotates with the support plate 21. The support assembly 4 is located below the support plate 21 and includes a support member 42. The upper end of the support member 42 contacts the support plate 21. The support member 42 can extend and retract, allowing the support plate 21 to flip between the carrying state and the dispensing state. The slide rail 5 is inclinedly set on the cabinet 1 and located below the support plate 21. The upper end of the slide rail 5 connects to the support plate 21 in the dispensing state, and the lower end of the slide rail 5 connects to the receiving component 6. During dispensing, the support member 32 extends into the penultimate tray, and the support member 42 supports the support plate 21 to rotate downwards. After the support plate 21 rotates to the dispensing state, it connects with the slide rail 5, and the tray on the support plate 21 slides into the receiving component 6 via the slide rail 5. It should be noted that the cabinet 1 is only used to provide an installation base for this automatic dispensing tray mechanism. The cabinet 1 can be the housing of a winding machine or a cutting machine. The side of the support plate 21 away from the receiving component 6 is hinged to the cabinet 1 so that the support plate 21 moves closer to the receiving component 6 when rotating.
[0045] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the winding machine needs to release the material tray, the support member 32 extends into the second to last material tray to support this material tray and the material tray above it. Then, the support member 42 supports the carrier plate 21 to descend. The carrier plate 21 rotates together with the lowest material tray. When the carrier plate 21 rotates to the material distribution state, it connects with the slide rail 5. Under its own weight, the material tray slides into the receiving component 6 through the slide rail 5, completing the material tray release work. The whole process is completed automatically, saving time and effort, and greatly improving the working efficiency of the winding machine.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 3In one possible implementation, a third driving member 22 is provided in the middle of the lower surface of the support plate 21, and a through hole is provided in the center of the tray. The drive shaft of the third driving member 22 passes through the support plate 21 and extends into the through hole of the tray. It should be noted that when the support plate 21 rotates downward, if the friction between the tray and the support plate 21 is small, the tray may start to slide downward before the support plate 21 rotates to be parallel with the slide rail 5. This will cause the tray to not slide along the predetermined path, resulting in the tray not falling accurately into the receiving assembly 6, affecting the stability of the mechanism. The third driving member 22 can solve this problem. The third driving member 22 is preferably a cylinder. The piston rod of the cylinder passes through the support plate 21 and extends into the through hole in the center of the tray to limit the tray and prevent it from sliding downward accidentally. When the support plate 21 rotates to align with the slide rail 5, the piston rod retracts into the cylinder, thereby causing the tray to slide downward and ensuring the stability of the tray.
[0047] Please refer to Figure 4 In one possible implementation, the support assembly 4 further includes a second driving member 41. The support member 42 includes a strut 421 and a bearing 422. The strut 421 is fixed to the driving end of the second driving member 41, and the bearing 422 is disposed on the top of the strut 421, contacting the support plate 21. It should be noted that the second driving member 41 is preferably a cylinder, and the second driving member 41 is arranged along the height direction to drive the support member 42 to rise and fall, thereby enabling the support member 42 to support the support plate 21 and causing the support plate 21 to rotate under its own weight as the support member 42 rises and falls. The strut 421 can provide a mounting base for the bearing 422. By setting the bearing 422 to contact the support plate 21, since the bearing 422 and the support plate 21 have rolling friction, the wear caused by the support member 42 to the support plate 21 can be greatly reduced, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the support plate 21. Furthermore, there are two bearings 422, which are respectively disposed on the two sides of the strut 421.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 5 In one possible implementation, the slide rail 5 includes a left slide plate 51 and a right slide plate 52. The left slide plate 51 is located on the left side of the receiving assembly 6, and the right slide plate 52 is located on the right side of the receiving assembly 6. When the support plate 21 is parallel to the slide rail 5, the support plate 21 is located between the left slide plate 51 and the right slide plate 52. It should be noted that both the left slide plate 51 and the right slide plate 52 are fixed to the cabinet 1 by bolts. The support plate 21 is convex in shape, and the narrow end of the support plate 21 is located between the left slide plate 51 and the right slide plate 52, so that both sides of the tray contact the left slide plate 51 and the right slide plate 52 respectively, so that the tray slides downward on the left slide plate 51 and the right slide plate 52 under its own weight.
[0049] Furthermore, both the left sliding plate 51 and the right sliding plate 52 include a first sliding part 521, a second sliding part 522, and a limiting part 523. The second sliding part 522 is connected to the end of the first sliding part 521, and the tilt angle of the second sliding part 522 is greater than the tilt angle of the first sliding part 521. The limiting part 523 is disposed on one side of the first sliding part 521. It should be noted that the limiting part 523 on the left sliding plate 51 and the limiting part 523 on the right sliding plate 52 are disposed opposite to each other. The limiting part 523 can limit the material tray to prevent the material tray from deviating too much during the sliding process. The first sliding part 521 is used to dock with the support plate 21, and the second sliding part 522 is used to dock with the receiving component 6 and can also play a transition role. Since the tilt angle of the second sliding part 522 is greater than the tilt angle of the first sliding part 521, when the material tray slides from the first sliding part 521 to the second sliding part 522, the tilt angle of the material tray will also increase, so that the material tray falls into the receiving component 6 better.
[0050] Please refer to Figure 6 In one possible implementation, the partition assembly 3 further includes a first drive member 31, with a mounting plate 33 on the drive end of the first drive member 31, and a support member 32 disposed on the mounting plate 33. The cabinet 1 is also provided with a guide block 34, through which the support member 32 passes. It should be noted that the first driving component 31 is preferably a rodless cylinder, and the mounting plate 33 is disposed on the piston of the rodless cylinder. The rodless cylinder can greatly save installation space, thus easily installing it on the top of the cabinet 1. The guide block 34 is provided with a guide hole, and the support component 32 passes through the guide hole and is slidably connected to the guide block 34. The guide block 34 can provide guidance for the support component 32 to improve the sliding stability of the support component 32. The mounting plate 33 moves under the drive of the piston of the rodless cylinder and moves closer to the tray, while the support component 32 moves with the mounting plate 33 and extends into the tray to support the tray. Furthermore, the support component 32 is preferably a tray optical shaft, and there are two tray optical shafts, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the mounting plate 33. After the two tray optical shafts extend into the material tray, they are located on both sides of the central axis of the material tray to stably support the material tray. Correspondingly, there are also two guide blocks 34, which serve to guide the two tray optical shafts. When the bottom material tray slides into the slide rail 5 via the support plate 21 and then falls into the receiving component 6, the support plate 21 is lifted by the second drive component 41 and stops after being lifted to a horizontal state. Then the support component 32 retracts under the action of the first drive component 31. When the support component 32 is completely separated from the material tray, the material tray descends and falls on the support plate 21. When feeding material again, the support component 32 extends into the second to last material tray again. Finally, the first material tray moves with the support plate 21, and the cycle repeats, so that only one material tray falls at a time.
[0051] Furthermore, the mounting plate 33 is provided with a first strip-shaped hole 331, which extends along the height direction. The support member 32 is fixed to the first strip-shaped hole 331 by fastening bolts. It should be noted that different models of material trays have different thicknesses. To ensure that the support member 32 can accurately extend into the penultimate material tray, the height of the support member 32 needs to be adjusted. This can be achieved by adjusting the installation position of the support member 32 on the first strip-shaped hole 331. In addition, the guide block 34 will be further replaced with different specifications to adapt to the support member 32 after the height is adjusted.
[0052] Please refer to Figure 3 In one possible implementation, the tray assembly 2 further includes multiple baffles 23, which are spaced apart along the outer circumference of the tray and positioned at the top of the cabinet 1. It should be noted that the multiple trays are stacked along their height, and the baffles 23 limit the trays, ensuring they fall precisely onto the support plate 21 and preventing them from tipping over, thus improving tray stability. Specifically, there are four baffles 23, evenly spaced along the outer circumferential wall of the tray.
[0053] Please refer to Figure 7 Furthermore, the baffle 23 includes a baffle 231, a baffle seat 232, a limiting block 233, and a locking handle 234; the limiting block 233 is fixedly installed on the top of the cabinet 1, and the limiting block 233 is provided with a limiting groove 2331; the baffle seat 232 is L-shaped, and the lower half of the baffle seat 232 can slide into the limiting groove 2331; the lower half of the baffle seat 232 is provided with a second strip hole 2321, the second strip hole 2321 extends along the sliding direction of the baffle seat 232, and the locking handle 234 passes through the second strip hole 2321 and is fixedly connected to the cabinet 1; the baffle 231 is fixedly installed on the upper half of the baffle seat 232. It should be noted that when changing to different specifications of trays, the size of the trays will change. At this time, the material stop 23 needs to be adjusted to adapt to the material stop 23 of this specification. Specifically, when the material stop 23 needs to be adjusted, simply loosen the locking handle 234, and then slide the stop seat 232 inward / outward, so that the baffle 231 slides inward / outward. After sliding, tighten the locking handle 234 to fix the stop seat 232, thus completing the adjustment of the material stop 23. In addition, the limit block 233 is fixed to the top of the cabinet 1 by bolts, and the limit groove 2331 can limit the stop seat 232, so that the stop seat 232 can only slide along the extension direction of the limit groove 2331. The baffle 231 is fixed to the upper part of the stop seat 232 by bolts.
[0054] Furthermore, the top of the baffle 231 has a guide portion 2311, which is formed by bending the top of the baffle 231 outward. It should be noted that the guide portion 2311 makes it easier to insert the tray into the tray assembly 2, which helps to improve work efficiency.
[0055] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
