Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of material handling technology, and more specifically, to a material handling device and a material storage device. Background Technology

[0002] In automated production line operations, products sequentially flow to various workstations for corresponding processing or assembly operations. After completing their predetermined operations at a designated workstation, some products need to be left for a period of time before moving to the next workstation to continue related operations. For example, when attaching components using an adhesive dispensing method, the product needs to be left for a period of time to allow the adhesive to cure, ensuring a stable connection between the component and the product, before being moved to the next workstation. This reduces the risk of the component shifting during related operations due to uncured adhesive.

[0003] Currently, the usual practice is to first stack completed products onto a transfer vehicle and then transport them to a designated storage area. After the predetermined storage time has elapsed, the products are then transferred to the next workstation for the corresponding processing. During the product transfer process, manual handling can easily cause products to tilt or bump, leading to product defects. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application provides a transmission device and a material storage device for smoothly transmitting materials, which can improve the yield of output materials.

[0005] Embodiments of this application provide a conveying device for conveying materials. The conveying device has a loading area and a unloading area spaced apart, and includes a loading device, a material conveying device, and an unloading device. The loading device is located in the loading area and includes a loading transfer assembly and a loading receiving assembly. The loading receiving assembly includes a loading receiving part and a loading lifting part. The loading transfer assembly is configured to stack multiple materials onto the loading receiving part. The bottom surface of the lowest layer of the stack of materials on the loading receiving part has a receiving portion and a contact portion. The loading receiving part is configured to receive the material receiving portion. The loading lifting part is connected to the loading receiving part and configured to drive the loading receiving part to move up and down. The material conveying device includes a material conveying assembly, which includes a conveyor belt and a conveying drive. The conveyor belt is located on the conveying drive. The conveyor belt has multiple material storage positions arranged sequentially along its length. Each material storage position is configured as a contact portion to receive material. The conveying drive is configured to drive the conveyor belt to move, so that the multiple material storage positions move sequentially from a loading area to a loading area. The unloading device is located in the unloading area and is configured to transfer material located on the material storage positions in the unloading area.

[0006] This conveying equipment uses a loading and transfer device to stack materials onto a loading receiving unit. A loading lifting device then drives the loading receiving unit to descend, causing the bottom layer of the stacked materials on the receiving unit to contact the conveyor belt. This moves the material to a storage position on the conveyor belt. Then, a conveying drive unit moves the conveyor belt, moving another empty storage position to the loading area to continue receiving materials. This cycle repeats, ensuring materials are moved sequentially and smoothly to their storage positions. After a predetermined storage time, the materials move to the unloading area, where a unloading device smoothly removes them from their storage positions. This conveying equipment can smoothly load, transport, and unload materials, improving the yield of materials output by the unloading device. Simultaneously, materials can be unloaded roughly in the order they were loaded, ensuring that the storage time for each material meets requirements. Furthermore, simultaneous and continuous loading and unloading further enhances material transport efficiency.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the feeding receiving member is provided with a receiving area for receiving materials, and the feeding receiving assembly further includes a clamping drive member and two clamping members. The two clamping members are respectively located on opposite sides of the receiving area. The clamping drive member is located on the feeding receiving member and connected to the two clamping members. The clamping drive member is configured to drive the two clamping members to abut against the two sides of the material respectively.

[0008] After the material is placed in the receiving area, the clamping drive drives the two clamping parts to move closer to each other, so that the two clamping parts abut against the two sides of the material to fix the material, which can reduce the risk of the material falling when the feeding receiving part is raised and lowered.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the conveyor belt drives the material to move along a first direction; two clamping members are spaced apart along the first direction, and the clamping drive is configured to drive the two clamping members to move closer to each other and further away from each other along the first direction.

[0010] Two clamping members are spaced apart along the first direction, which can position the material in the first direction, so that the position of each stack of material on the feeding receiving member is consistent relative to the feeding receiving member. This makes the spacing between adjacent stacks of material on the conveyor belt consistent, and makes the ventilation and heat dissipation of each stack of material consistent, thereby improving the consistency of the quality of each material and improving the yield of materials.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the conveyor belt drives the material to move along a first direction; the conveying drive includes a conveying mounting frame, a drive wheel, a driven wheel, a rotating member, and a support member. The drive wheel and the driven wheel are rotatably disposed at both ends of the conveying mounting frame along the first direction, and the conveyor belt is wrapped around the drive wheel and the driven wheel. The rotating member is disposed on the conveying mounting frame and connected to the drive wheel. The rotating member is configured to drive the drive wheel to rotate. The support member is disposed in the area enclosed by the conveyor belt and connected to the conveying mounting frame. The support member is configured to support the conveyor belt.

[0012] The rotating component drives the drive wheel to rotate, which in turn moves the conveyor belt, thus moving the material on the conveyor belt. The support component supports the drive belt and the material on it, reducing the risk of material tipping over due to conveyor belt collapse, thereby improving the stability of the material as it moves along the conveyor belt.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the conveyor belt drives the material to move along a first direction; multiple material storage and conveying components are arranged sequentially along a second direction, which intersects with the first direction; the material storage and conveying device further includes a material storage transfer component, which is configured to transfer the material on the conveyor belt of one material storage and conveying component to the conveyor belt of another material storage and conveying component.

[0014] After the material moves to the storage transfer component along one of the conveyor belts, the storage transfer component moves the material to the conveyor belt of another storage transfer component, allowing the material to continue moving along the corresponding conveyor belt. Multiple storage transfer components work together to extend the material's rotation time and increase the number of storage positions, thereby increasing the amount of material that can be stored. Simultaneously, the intersection of the second and first directions shortens the size of the storage conveying device in the material movement direction, which helps to reduce the space occupied by the storage conveying device.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the material transfer assembly includes a material receiving component, a material lifting component, and a sliding drive component. The material receiving component is configured to receive material. The material lifting component is connected to the material receiving component and configured to drive the material receiving component to lift. The sliding drive component is connected to the material receiving component and configured to drive the material receiving component to move along a second direction.

[0016] After the material moves with the conveyor belt above the material receiving component, the material lifting component drives the material receiving component to rise, so that the material receiving component receives the material and the material is released from the conveyor belt; the sliding drive component drives the material receiving component to move, and after moving the material above the conveyor belt of another material conveying component, the material lifting component drives the material receiving component to fall, so that the material contacting part contacts the corresponding conveyor belt, thereby enabling the corresponding conveyor belt to convey the material.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the material transfer assembly further includes a material positioning component, a material abutting component, and a material driving component. The material positioning component and the material abutting component are spaced apart from the material receiving component along a first direction. The material driving component is disposed on the material receiving component and configured to drive the material abutting component to move along the first direction. The material positioning component and the material abutting component are configured to abut against both sides of the material, respectively.

[0018] The material storage drive component causes the material storage abutment and the material storage positioning component to abut against both sides of the material, thereby fixing the material relative to the material storage receiving component. This improves the stability of the material relative to the feeding receiving component and reduces the risk of the material falling off during the movement of the feeding receiving component.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the material storage positioning member is located on the side of the material storage receiving member that is close to the feeding area along the first direction; the material storage transfer assembly also includes a positioning drive member, which is disposed on the material storage receiving member and configured to drive the material storage positioning member to move up and down.

[0020] The positioning drive unit can drive the storage positioning unit to descend, moving it below the conveyor belt so that the material on the conveyor belt can be moved onto the storage receiving unit. By lowering the storage positioning unit, the descent distance of the storage receiving unit can be reduced, thereby reducing the time required for the storage receiving unit to rise and fall, and thus improving the efficiency of the storage transfer assembly in transferring materials.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the material transfer assembly further includes a material stop, which is disposed on the material receiving member and configured to stop the material in the opposite direction of the material's movement.

[0022] The material storage stop can stop the material moving along the conveyor belt toward the material storage receiving part, so as to constrain and position the material movement in the first direction.

[0023] Embodiments of this application also provide a material storage device for storing materials. The material storage device includes a base, a protective cover, a temperature and humidity control device, a material conveying device, a loading device, and a unloading device. The base has a loading area and a unloading area. The protective cover is located on the base, and the temperature and humidity control device is located on the protective cover and configured to regulate the temperature and / or humidity inside the protective cover. The material conveying device includes a material conveying assembly, which includes a conveyor belt and a conveying drive. The conveyor belt is located on the conveying drive and has multiple storage positions arranged sequentially along its length. The conveying drive is located on the base and configured to drive the conveyor belt to move, so that the multiple storage positions move from the loading area through the interior of the protective cover to the unloading area. The loading device is located in the loading area and configured to stack multiple materials onto the storage positions located in the loading area. The unloading device is located in the unloading area and configured to transfer materials located on the storage positions in the unloading area.

[0024] This material storage equipment uses a feeding device to feed materials to the storage locations, and a conveyor drive to move the conveyor belt, causing the materials to move into the protective cover and then into the lower material area. Each storage location can hold multiple materials, effectively storing them; the protective cover encloses the materials, providing protection. Simultaneously, a temperature and humidity control device can regulate the temperature or humidity inside the protective cover, allowing this material storage equipment to provide a relatively independent and temperature- and humidity-controlled storage space for the materials, thereby improving material yield.

[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0036] The term “and / or” as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items; the terms “first,” “second,” etc., as used herein are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0037] Embodiments of this application provide a conveying device for conveying materials. The conveying device has a loading area and a unloading area spaced apart, and includes a loading device, a material conveying device, and an unloading device. The loading device is located in the loading area and includes a loading transfer assembly and a loading receiving assembly. The loading receiving assembly includes a loading receiving part and a loading lifting part. The loading transfer assembly is configured to stack multiple materials onto the loading receiving part. The bottom surface of the lowest layer of the stack of materials on the loading receiving part has a receiving portion and a contact portion. The loading receiving part is configured to receive the material receiving portion. The loading lifting part is connected to the loading receiving part and configured to drive the loading receiving part to move up and down. The material conveying device includes a material conveying assembly, which includes a conveyor belt and a conveying drive. The conveyor belt is located on the conveying drive. The conveyor belt has multiple material storage positions arranged sequentially along its length. Each material storage position is configured as a contact portion to receive material. The conveying drive is configured to drive the conveyor belt to move, so that the multiple material storage positions move sequentially from a loading area to a loading area. The unloading device is located in the unloading area and is configured to transfer material located on the material storage positions in the unloading area.

[0038] This conveying equipment uses a loading and transfer device to stack materials onto a loading receiving unit. A loading lifting device then drives the loading receiving unit to descend, causing the bottom layer of material on the receiving unit to contact the conveyor belt. This moves the material to a storage position on the conveyor belt. Then, a conveying drive unit moves the conveyor belt, moving another empty storage position to the loading area to continue receiving materials. This cycle repeats, ensuring materials are moved sequentially and smoothly to their storage positions. After a predetermined storage time, the material moves with the conveyor belt to the unloading area, where a unloading device smoothly removes the material from its storage position on the conveyor belt. This conveying equipment can smoothly load, transport, and unload materials, improving the yield of materials output by the unloading device.

[0039] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0040] Reference Figure 1This application provides a conveying device 1000. The conveying device 1000 includes an incoming material conveying device 100, a loading device 200, a storage material conveying device 300, and a unloading device 400. In some embodiments, the conveying device 1000 further includes a base 500, which is provided with a loading area 51 and an unloading area 52 spaced apart; the incoming material conveying device 100 is configured to drive the material 2000 to move in one direction, and the incoming material conveying device 100 has a loading position 11 and a receiving position 12, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along the direction of material 2000 movement. The feeding device 200 is located in the feeding area 51 and configured to transfer the material 2000 in the feeding position 11 to the feeding area 51; the storage conveying device 300 is located in the base 500 and configured to drive the material 2000 from the feeding area 51 to the feeding area 52; the unloading device 400 is located in the unloading area 52 and configured to transfer the material 2000 in the unloading area 52 to the receiving position 12.

[0041] In some embodiments, the material conveying device 100 includes a material mounting frame 13, a belt conveyor 14, and a material positioning assembly 15. The belt conveyor 14 is disposed on the material mounting frame 13 and is configured to convey material 2000 along the length direction of the material mounting frame 13; the material positioning assembly 15 is disposed on the loading position 11 and is configured to stop the material 2000 to constrain the material 2000 at the loading position 11.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The material positioning assembly 15 includes a material positioning frame 151, a material baffle 152, and two material positioning rods 153. The two material positioning rods 153 are spaced apart above the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 14 along the width direction of the material mounting frame 13, and are connected to the material positioning frame 151. The two material positioning rods 153 limit the passage of the material 2000 through a guide channel 1531. The width of the guide channel 1531 is approximately equal to the width of the material 2000. After multiple materials 2000 are placed on the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 14, the materials 2000 move with the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 14 into the guide channel 1531 and move along the guide channel 1531.

[0043] A feed baffle 152 is located at the loading position 11 and above the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 14. The feed baffle 152 is connected to the feed positioning rod 153. The end of the feed baffle 152 away from the corresponding feed positioning rod 153 extends into the guide channel 1531 to block the material 2000 in the guide channel 1531, thereby confining the material 2000 at the loading position 11. It can be understood that the guide channel 1531 is the spatial area jointly defined by the planes of the mutually facing side walls of the two feed positioning rods 153.

[0044] In some other embodiments, the material conveying device 100 may be omitted, and the loading device 200 may transfer the material 2000 from the rack or assembly line to the loading area 51. Correspondingly, the unloading device 400 may transfer the material 2000 to the rack or assembly line.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The feeding device 200 includes a feeding transfer assembly 21 and a feeding receiving assembly 22. The feeding transfer assembly 21 is configured to stack multiple materials 2000 onto the feeding receiving assembly 22, which is located in the feeding area 51 and configured to receive the materials 2000. In some embodiments, the materials 2000 include a tray and products disposed within the tray. In other embodiments, the tray may be omitted.

[0046] In some embodiments, the loading and transfer assembly 21 includes a loading and transfer member 211 and a pick-and-place member 212. The pick-and-place member 212 is disposed on the loading and transfer member 211 and configured to pick up and release material 2000. The loading and transfer member 211 is configured to drive the pick-and-place member 212 to move between the loading position 11 and the loading area 51.

[0047] In some embodiments, the loading and transfer component 211 includes a loading fixing frame 2111, a transverse sliding frame 2112, a transverse drive component 2113, a vertical sliding frame 2114, and a vertical drive component 2115. The loading fixing frame 2111 is connected to the base 500. The transverse sliding frame 2112 is slidably connected to the loading fixing frame 2111 in the horizontal direction via a slide rail. The transverse drive component 2113 is disposed on the loading fixing frame 2111 and connected to the transverse sliding frame 2112. The transverse drive component 2113 is configured to drive the transverse sliding frame 2112 to reciprocate. In some embodiments, the transverse drive component 2113 is a screw and nut structure driven by a motor. The corresponding screw is rotatably connected to the loading fixing frame 2111, and the corresponding nut is connected to the transverse sliding frame 2112. In other embodiments, the transverse drive component 2113 may also be a cylinder, a linear motor, or other structural components capable of driving the transverse sliding frame 2112 to slide.

[0048] The vertical sliding frame 2114 is slidably mounted on the horizontal sliding frame 2112 along the vertical direction Z via a guide rod. The vertical drive component 2115 is an electric push rod, which is mounted on the horizontal sliding frame 2112 and connected to the vertical sliding frame 2114. The vertical drive component 2115 is configured to drive the vertical sliding frame 2114 to move up and down. In other embodiments, the vertical drive component 2115 may be a linear motor or other structural components capable of driving the vertical sliding frame 2114 to slide.

[0049] In some embodiments, the pick-and-place member 212 is a vacuum suction cup. In other embodiments, the pick-and-place member 212 may be a gripper or other structural member capable of securing the material 2000.

[0050] The pick-and-place component 212 is connected to the vertical sliding frame 2114. After the horizontal sliding frame 2112 moves above the loading position 11, the vertical drive component 2115 drives the vertical sliding frame 2114 to descend, causing the pick-and-place component 212 to contact and adsorb the material 2000 at the loading position 11. Then, the vertical drive component 2115 drives the vertical sliding frame 2114 to rise, causing the material 2000 adsorbed by the pick-and-place component 212 to rise. Then, the horizontal drive component 2113 drives the horizontal sliding frame 2112 to move upwards. The material 2000, held by the pick-and-place component 212, slides upwards to the material receiving component 222. After this material moves above the material receiving component 222, the vertical drive component 2115 drives the vertical sliding component 3233 downwards. Once the material 2000 contacts the material receiving component 222, the pick-and-place component 212 releases the material 2000, the vertical drive component 2115 drives the vertical sliding frame 2114 upwards, and the horizontal drive component 2113 drives the horizontal sliding frame 2112 to move upwards to the material position 11. This cycle repeats, allowing multiple materials 2000 to be stacked on the material receiving component 222. It can be understood that as the number of materials 2000 on the material receiving component 222 increases, the distance the vertical sliding component 3233 descends after moving above the material receiving component 222 gradually decreases, so that multiple materials 2000 can be stacked into a single pile.

[0051] In other embodiments, the loading and transfer component 211 may be an industrial robot, and the pick-and-place component 212 may be connected to the robotic arm of the industrial robot.

[0052] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the feeding and receiving assembly 22 includes a feeding rack 221 and a feeding receiving component 222, the feeding rack 221 and the machine base 500 (see...) Figure 1 A fixed connection is established, and a feeding receiving component 222 is disposed on a feeding rack 221. The feeding receiving component 222 is generally plate-shaped and configured to receive material 2000. In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the lowest layer of material 2000 in the stack on the feeding receiving component 222 has a receiving portion and a contact portion. The upper surface of the feeding receiving component 222 contacts the receiving portion to receive the material 2000. It is understood that the contact portion is located outside the edge of the feeding receiving component 222, that is, the contact portion is in a suspended state without contacting the feeding receiving component 222.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the material conveying device 300 includes a material conveying assembly 31, which includes a conveyor belt 311 and a conveying drive 312. The conveyor belt 311 is disposed on the conveying drive 312, and the conveying drive 312 is configured to drive the conveyor belt 311 to move. In some embodiments, the conveying drive 312 includes a conveying mounting bracket 3121, a driving wheel 3122, a driven wheel 3123, a rotating member (not shown), and a support member 3124. A conveyor mounting frame 3121 is connected to a base 500. The length direction of the conveyor mounting frame 3121 is arranged along a first direction X, and one end of the conveyor mounting frame 3121 is located in the loading area 51. A drive wheel 3122 and a driven wheel 3123 are rotatably disposed at both ends of the conveyor mounting frame 3121 along the first direction X. A conveyor belt 311 is wound around the drive wheel 3122 and the driven wheel 3123. A rotating member is disposed on the conveyor mounting frame 3121 and connected to the drive wheel 3122. The rotating member is configured to drive the drive wheel 3122 to rotate. A support member 3124 is disposed in the area enclosed by the conveyor belt 311 and connected to the conveyor mounting frame 3121. The support member 3124 is configured to support the conveyor belt 311. In some embodiments, the rotating member is a motor. In some embodiments, the support member 3124 is plate-shaped, and the upper surface of the support member 3124 abuts against the lower surface of the upper conveyor belt 311 to support the conveyor belt 311.

[0054] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the material conveying assembly 31 has two conveyor belts 311, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the loading receiving member 222 along the width direction of the conveying mounting frame 3121. In some embodiments, the loading receiving member 222 is slidably disposed on the loading frame 221 in the vertical direction Z by a guide rod. The loading receiving assembly 22 also includes a loading lifting member 223, which is disposed on the loading frame 221 and connected to the loading receiving member 222. The loading lifting member 223 is configured to drive the loading receiving member 222 to lift. In some embodiments, the loading lifting member 223 is a cylinder. After the material 2000 is stacked on the feeding receiving member 222, the feeding lifting member 223 drives the feeding receiving member 222 to descend, so that the contact part of the material 2000 contacts the conveyor belt 311, so that the conveyor belt 311 receives the material 2000; when the rotating member drives the driving wheel 3122 to rotate, the driving wheel 3122 can drive the conveyor belt 311 to move, so as to move the material 2000 on the conveyor belt 311. It can be understood that the conveyor belt 311 has multiple storage positions (not shown) arranged sequentially along its own length direction. The storage positions are configured as contact parts to receive the material 2000. That is, the conveyor belt 311 can simultaneously receive multiple stacks of material 2000.

[0055] In some embodiments, the feeding receiving member 222 is provided with a receiving area (not shown) for receiving material 2000. It is understood that the receiving area is configured as a receiving portion for receiving material 2000. The feeding receiving assembly 22 also includes a clamping drive member 224 and two clamping members 225, the two clamping members 225 being respectively disposed on opposite sides of the receiving area, the clamping drive member 224 being disposed on the feeding receiving member 222 and connected to the two clamping members 225, the clamping drive member 224 being configured to drive the two clamping members 225 to abut against both sides of the material 2000.

[0056] In some embodiments, two clamping members 225 are spaced apart along a first direction X. The clamping drive member 224 includes two cylinders, each corresponding to one clamping member 225. After the material 2000 is placed in the receiving area, each cylinder drives its corresponding clamping member 225 to move along the first direction X, causing each clamping member 225 to abut against the sidewall of the corresponding side of the material 2000, thus fixing the material 2000 and reducing the risk of it falling during the lifting and lowering of the loading receiving member 222. Simultaneously, the two clamping members 225, spaced apart along the first direction X, can position the material 2000 in the first direction X, ensuring that each stack of material 2000 on the loading receiving member 222 is positioned symmetrically relative to it, thereby maintaining a consistent spacing between adjacent stacks of material 2000 on the conveyor belt 311. In other embodiments, one of the clamping members 225 may be fixedly connected to the loading receiving member 222.

[0057] For example, material 2000 is a product assembled by a dispensing process. By making the spacing between each stack of material 2000 consistent, the ventilation and heat dissipation of each stack of material 2000 can be consistent, and the curing environment of the adhesive for each product can be the same, thereby improving the consistency of the quality of each product and helping to improve the product yield.

[0058] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments, multiple material conveying assemblies 31 are sequentially arranged along a second direction Y, which intersects with a first direction X. In some embodiments, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X. The material conveying device 300 also includes a material transfer assembly 32, which is configured to transfer material 2000 on the conveyor belt 311 of one of the material conveying assemblies 31 to the conveyor belt 311 of another material conveying assembly 31.

[0059] Taking a scenario with two material conveying components 31, after the material 2000 moves to the material transfer component 32 along one of the conveyor belts 311, the material transfer component 32 moves the material 2000 onto the conveyor belt 311 of the other material conveying component, allowing the material 2000 to continue moving towards the unloading area 52 along the corresponding conveyor belt 311. It can be understood that the unloading area 52 and the loading area 51 are located on the same side of the machine base 500. In other embodiments, only one material conveying component 31 may be provided, with the unloading area 52 and the loading area 51 located at opposite ends of the conveyor mounting frame 3121.

[0060] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the material transfer assembly 32 includes a material receiving component 321, a material lifting component 322, and a sliding drive component 323. The sliding drive component 323 includes a material fixing frame 3231, a material sliding frame 3232, and a sliding component 3233. The material fixing frame 3231 is disposed on the base 500 (see...). Figure 1 The material storage sliding frame 3232 is slidably disposed on the material storage fixed frame 3231 along the second direction Y. The sliding member 3233 is disposed on the material storage fixed frame 3231 and connected to the material storage sliding frame 3232. The sliding member 3233 is configured to drive the material storage sliding frame 3232 to reciprocate. In some embodiments, the sliding member 3233 is a lead screw and nut structure. In other embodiments, the sliding member 3233 can be a cylinder or a linear motor or other structures.

[0061] The material receiving component 321 is generally plate-shaped and is slidably mounted on the material sliding frame 3232 in the vertical direction Z via a guide rod. The material lifting component 322 is mounted on the material sliding frame 3233 and connected to the material receiving component 321. The material lifting component 322 is configured to drive the material receiving component 321 to rise and fall. In some embodiments, the material lifting component 322 is a cylinder. In other embodiments, the material lifting component 322 can be a linear motor or an electric push rod, or other structural components.

[0062] In some embodiments, the storage receiving member 321 is substantially the same as the loading receiving member 222, and the storage receiving member 321 can be lowered between the two conveyor belts 311 of each storage conveying assembly 31. After the material 2000 moves with the conveyor belt 311 above the storage receiving member 321, the storage lifting member 322 drives the storage receiving member 321 to rise, so that the storage receiving member 321 receives the receiving part of the material 2000, so that the material 2000 is disengaged from the conveyor belt 311; the sliding drive member 323 drives the storage receiving member 321 to move along the second direction Y, so that the material 2000 can be moved above the conveyor belt 311 of another storage conveying assembly 31, and then the storage lifting member 322 drives the storage receiving member 321 to fall, so that the contact part of the material 2000 contacts the corresponding conveyor belt 311, thereby enabling the corresponding conveyor belt 311 to convey the material 2000.

[0063] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the material transfer assembly 32 further includes a material stop 324, which is disposed on the material receiving member 321 and configured to stop the material 2000 in the opposite direction of the material 2000's movement. In some embodiments, the material stop 324 is a vertically arranged rod. As the material 2000 moves with the conveyor belt 311 toward the material receiving member 321, the material stop 324 can stop the material 2000, thereby constraining and positioning the movement of the material 2000 in the first direction X.

[0064] In some embodiments, the material transfer assembly 32 further includes a material positioning member 325, a material abutting member 326, and a material driving member 327. The material positioning member 325 and the material abutting member 326 are spaced apart from the material receiving member 321 along a first direction X. The material driving member 327 is disposed on the material receiving member 321 and configured to drive the material abutting member 326 to move along the first direction X. The material positioning member 325 and the material abutting member 326 are configured to abut against both sides of the material 2000, respectively. In some embodiments, the material positioning member 325 is located near the loading area 51 of the material abutting member 326 along the first direction X (see...). Figure 1 On one side of the material transfer assembly 32, the material transfer assembly 32 also includes a positioning drive 328, which is disposed on the material receiving member 321 and configured to drive the material positioning member 325 to rise and fall. For example, both the positioning drive 328 and the material driving member 327 are cylinders.

[0065] After the material 2000 comes into contact with the storage stop 324, the positioning drive 328 drives the storage positioning part 325 to rise, so that the storage positioning part 325 protrudes above the upper surface of the storage receiving part 321. Then, the storage drive 327 causes the storage abutment 326 to move toward the storage positioning part 325, so that the storage positioning part 325 and the storage abutment 326 respectively abut against the two sides of the material 2000, so that the material 2000 is fixed relative to the storage receiving part 321. This can improve the stability of the material 2000 relative to the feeding receiving part 222 and reduce the risk of the material 2000 falling during the movement of the feeding receiving part 222.

[0066] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 The unloading device 400 is configured to sequentially and individually move the stack of materials 2000 that have moved to the unloading area 52 to the receiving position 12. The structure of the unloading device 400 is basically the same as that of the loading device 200, and will not be described in detail here. In some other embodiments, the unloading device 400 can move the stack of materials 2000 to the receiving position 12 simultaneously.

[0067] Reference Figure 7 This application provides a material storage device 3000 for storing materials 2000. The material storage device 3000 includes a base 500, a protective cover 3001, a temperature and humidity control device 3002, a material conveying device 300, a loading device 200, and a unloading device 400. The base 500 is provided with a loading area 51 and a unloading area 52. The protective cover 3001 is disposed on the base 500. The material conveying device 300 includes a material conveying assembly 31, which includes a conveyor belt 311 and a conveying drive 312. The conveyor belt 311 is disposed on the conveying drive 312 and has a plurality of storage positions arranged sequentially along its length. The conveying drive 312 is disposed on the base 500 and configured to drive the conveyor belt 311 to move, so that the plurality of storage positions move from the loading area 51 to the unloading area 52. A feeding device 200 is located in the feeding area 51 and configured to stack multiple materials 2000 to the storage location located in the feeding area 51. A discharging device 400 is located in the discharging area 52 and configured to transfer the materials 2000 located in the storage location located in the discharging area 52.

[0068] In some embodiments, the material storage and conveying device 300 of the material storage device 3000 has a structure that is substantially the same as that of the material storage and conveying device 300 of the transmission device 1000 provided in any of the above embodiments, the material loading device 200 of the material storage device 3000 has a structure that is substantially the same as that of the material loading device 200 of the transmission device 1000 provided in any of the above embodiments, and the material unloading device 400 of the material storage device 3000 has a structure that is substantially the same as that of the material unloading device 400 of the transmission device 1000 provided in any of the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here.

[0069] The protective cover 3001 encloses the material conveying device 300, allowing the material storage position 11 to carry the material 2000 through the interior of the protective cover 3001 as the conveyor belt 311 moves from the loading area 51 to the loading area 52. A temperature and humidity regulating device 3002 is connected to the protective cover 3001 and is configured to regulate the temperature and / or humidity inside the protective cover 3001. In some embodiments, the temperature and humidity regulating device 3002 is an air conditioning system. In other embodiments, the temperature and humidity regulating device 3002 can be a humidifier or an air purifier with a humidity control function. In other embodiments, the temperature and humidity regulating device 3002 can also be other types of devices capable of regulating the temperature or humidity inside the protective cover 3001.

[0070] In some embodiments, the protective cover 3001 is provided with a temperature sensor (not shown) and a humidity sensor (not shown), which are electrically connected to the control module of the temperature and humidity regulating device 3002. The temperature sensor detects the temperature inside the protective cover 3001 in real time, and the humidity sensor detects the humidity inside the protective cover 3001 in real time, enabling the temperature and humidity regulating device 3002 to automatically adjust the temperature and humidity inside the protective cover 3001 to keep them approximately constant. For example, when the material 2000 is a product assembled using a dispensing and mounting process, the temperature and humidity regulating device 3002 can maintain the temperature inside the protective cover 3001 at approximately 20 to 30 degrees Celsius and the relative humidity at approximately 40% to 60% RH, allowing the adhesive on the product to cure quickly and improving the curing strength of the adhesive.

[0071] This material storage device 3000 uses a feeding device 200 to feed materials to storage locations. A conveyor drive 312 drives a conveyor belt 311, moving the materials 2000 into a protective cover 3001 and then into a lower material area 52. Each storage location can hold multiple materials 2000, effectively storing them. The protective cover 3001 encloses the materials 2000, providing protection. Simultaneously, a temperature and humidity control device 3002 adjusts the temperature or humidity inside the protective cover 3001, ensuring a relatively independent and temperature- and humidity-controlled storage space for each material, thus improving the yield rate of the materials.

[0072] Furthermore, those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the essential spirit and scope of this application fall within the scope of this application's disclosure.
