[0040] Working principle:
[0041] First, based on the width of the batch of timber, the spacing adjustment mechanism A152 adjusts the distance between all moving baffles A1513 and the storage baffle 15121 to a suitable value. The spacing adjustment mechanism B222 adjusts the distance between all moving baffles B2213 and the distribution baffle 22121 to a suitable value. The timber is transported to the small roller table 14 via the feeding conveyor belt 4. The chain hook 11 operates, and the spring pawl 1122 hooks the timber away. Moving with the chain drive mechanism 111, the lifting stop 1515 on a certain storage bin 151 rises to block the spring pawl 1122. The spring pawl 1122 retracts and embeds into the claw frame 1121. The timber loses support and slides onto the lifting roller table 1514. Subsequently, the lifting stop 1515 descends, the spring pawl 1122 loses its obstruction, and resets under the action of the spring. The fork-shaped lifting frame 1511 retracts. As the timber descends along with the lifting roller table 1514, space is left above for placing another timber, completing a preliminary sorting. If no storage bin 151 requires a particular timber, it will be transported to the waiting conveyor belt 12. When a certain number of layers of timber are stacked in a storage bin 151, the lifting roller table 1514 transports the timber stack to the transport roller table 2211. The lifting gripper 212 can move along the X and Y directions on the moving mechanism 211. The two clamping frames 2122 can be freely adjusted in the X direction to achieve clamping and releasing functions. The two grippers 2123 can move freely and synchronously in the Z direction. Thus, the gantry robot 21 can pick up all the timber above any layer of the timber stack and place it on other transport roller tables 2211 or timber stacks to achieve automatic sorting and stacking. The stacked timber will be transported to the large roller table 42.
[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. 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.
