[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly associated with those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and is not intended to limit the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0031] To make the content of this utility model easier to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Please refer to the appendix carefully. Figure 1-5 A double-stroke lifting blocking and accumulating material channel includes a machine base 1 and a sushi chain 2 that rotates along the circumference of the machine base 1. The top of the machine base 1 is provided with a chain groove 8 to match the sushi chain 2, and both sides are connected with sprockets 9 for driving the sushi chain 2. A drive motor 10 is connected between the bottom of the machine base 1 and any of the sprockets 9, and the drive motor 10 is used for power output.

[0033] In one embodiment:

[0034] Several trays 3 are placed on the sushi chain 2. The top of the machine 1 is provided with a first blocking rod 4 and a second blocking rod 5 that are set in accordance with the trays 3 along the movement direction of the sushi chain 2. Several sensor modules for monitoring the position of the trays 3 are also connected to the top of the machine 1.

[0035] To facilitate subsequent positioning of the material tray, the bottom view of the material tray 3 is arranged in a cross shape. The bottom end of the material tray 3 is provided with a positioning block 11 that is movably sleeved in the chain groove 8. The top of the material tray 3 is connected with a tooling positioning post 22, and the workpiece is sleeved with the top end of the tooling positioning post 22.

[0036] The first blocking rod 4 and the second blocking rod 5 have the same structure, both including a blocking cylinder 12 and a blocking frame 13 connected to the movable end of the blocking cylinder 12. The top of the blocking frame 13 is provided with two sets of stop rods 14 that are matched with the material tray 3. When the blocking cylinder is activated, its telescopic end extends or shortens, thereby controlling the movement of the blocking frame 13 and driving the stop rods 14 to move, so as to abut against the groove corner of the cross-shaped material tray 3 and complete the blocking positioning.

[0037] To ensure automated operation, the sensor module includes a sensor 15 located near the first stop bar 4 and a sensor 2 16 located near the second stop bar 5. Both sensor 15 and sensor 2 16 are used to monitor whether the tray has passed the designated position.

[0038] More specifically:

[0039] A lifting cylinder 6 is connected to the top of the machine 1 near the second stop bar 5 along the movement direction of the sushi chain 2. The top of the lifting cylinder 6 is connected to a card holder 7 provided with the material tray 3.

[0040] The material tray 3 has positioning slots 17 on both sides, and positioning pins 18 are provided on the top of the card holder 7 corresponding to the positions of the positioning slots 17. L-shaped baffles 19 are connected to both sides of the top of the card holder 7, one horizontally and one vertically. The inner side of the L-shaped baffles 19 faces the material tray 3. Figure 5 As shown, the horizontal L-shaped baffle 19 is used to limit the material tray 3 when the holder 7 moves upward, and the vertical L-shaped baffle 19 is used to block the material tray during subsequent feeding, so that the material tray can follow the workpiece.

[0041] To ensure automated operation, the sensor module includes sensor 3 20 and sensor 4 21 located near the lifting cylinder 6. Sensor 3 20 is used to monitor whether the material tray 3 has reached the working position of the lifting cylinder 6, while sensor 4 21 is used to monitor the position of the workpiece to be processed.

[0042] In specific implementation, this utility model

[0043] The motor drives the sushi chain to rotate the tray clockwise. The tray is equipped with blank workpieces by tooling positioning pins. When the tray moves to the first blocking cylinder, the sensor detects a signal. When the tray continues to move forward and the sensor loses a signal, the first blocking cylinder is raised to facilitate manual loading.

[0044] When the material tray reaches the second blocking cylinder position, sensor 2 detects a signal, and the second blocking cylinder rises to complete the blocking action.

[0045] Sensor 3 detects a signal indicating the tray is in position, and sensor 4 detects a workpiece. The lifting cylinder lifts the tray to the loading position, awaiting the turntable gripper to pick up the workpiece. Once the gripper picks up the workpiece, it is processed and then placed back onto the tray (a dual-workpiece processing device can be used; when the workpiece is removed, the processed workpiece of the other workpiece is placed on the tray). The lifting cylinder descends, the second blocking cylinder descends, and sensor 4 detects a workpiece. The finished product tray is then circulated to the unloading point for use. The L-shaped baffle prevents the tray from tipping over.

[0046] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0047] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.
