The support components 6 are used to press and position the two sides of the material tray 55 on the feeding plate 51.

[0031] The transfer mechanism 3 is located below the feeding plate 51. The transfer mechanism 3 is used to transfer the material tray 55 on the feeding frame 22 to the feeding opening 52 of the feeding plate 51 for positioning and feeding, and then transfer the empty material tray 55 after feeding to the receiving frame 23 for stacking and receiving.

[0032] The conveying mechanism 1 is disposed opposite to the feeding plate 51. The conveying mechanism 1 is used to convey and feed the material from the tray 55 on the feeding opening 52.

[0033] The transfer mechanism 3 of this utility model transfers the material tray 55 on the feeding frame 22 to the feeding opening 52 of the feeding plate 51. The support component 6 presses and positions the two sides of the material tray 55 on the feeding plate 51. The handling mechanism 1 handles and feeds the material from the material tray 55 on the feeding opening 52. The transfer mechanism 3 then transfers the empty material tray 55 that has been fed to the receiving frame 23 for stacking and receiving, realizing automatic feeding and changing of the material tray 55 with high work efficiency. The support component 6 and the feeding plate 51 provide synchronous support and positioning for the material tray 55, ensuring the relative fixation of the material tray 55 and the feeding plate 51 during the feeding process, thus improving the feeding accuracy.

[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, pressing components 7 are provided at the four corners of the feeding plate 51, and the support assembly 6 is provided below the pressing components 7. The pressing components 7 include guide rods 71, which pass through the guide sleeves 72 of the feeding plate 51. A limiting block 73 is provided at the free end of the guide rod 71, and a spring 74 is provided between the limiting block 73 and the guide sleeve 72. The pressing components 7 drive the feeding plate 51 to press the material tray 55 onto the support assembly 6.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, the support component 6 is disposed below the feeding plate 51. The support component 6 includes a support cylinder 61, which is disposed on the feeding rack 5. The support cylinder 61 is driven to be connected to the support plate 62. The support cylinder 61 drives the support plate 62 to extend below the feeding opening 52 to support the bottom of the material tray 55.

[0036] Specifically, the transfer linear module 31 moves the lifting frame and the material tray 55 to below the loading area. The lifting cylinder 33 moves the material tray 55 of the transfer fixture 4 to press against the loading plate 51 and compresses the spring 74 of the pressing component 7. The support cylinder 61 moves the support plate 62 to extend below the loading opening 52 to support the bottom of the material tray 55. The lifting cylinder 33 moves the material tray 55 of the transfer fixture 4 downward. Under the reaction force of the spring 74, the loading plate 51 presses the material tray 55 against the support plate 62, thereby positioning the material tray 55. During the loading process, the relative fixation between the material tray 55 and the loading plate 51 is ensured, improving the loading accuracy.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, the transfer mechanism 3 includes a transfer linear module 31, which is driven to be connected to the lifting bracket 32. The lifting bracket 32 ​​is provided with a lifting cylinder 33, which is driven to be connected to the transfer fixture 4.

The transport bracket 14 is provided with a buffer frame 19. The buffers 18 and the buffer frames 19 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. When the upper and lower cylinders 16 drive the transport bracket 14 to move downward, the buffer frames 19 abut against the buffers 18, which can slow down the descent speed of the transport nozzle 15 and limit the position of the transport bracket 14 to avoid the transport nozzle 15 on the transport bracket 14 from moving excessively, causing unsuccessful material picking and damage to the material tray 55.

[0041] In one embodiment of this utility model, the feeding frame 22 and the receiving frame 23 have the same structure.

The separation component includes a separation cylinder 28, which is drivenly connected to the separation plate 29. Support baffles 291 are provided at both ends of the separation plate 29.

[0042] Specifically, the material trays 55 containing materials and products are stacked in the feeding frame 22. The separation cylinder 28 drives the separation plate 29 to support the bottom of the stacked material trays 55. The separation component works in conjunction with the transfer mechanism 3 to release the stacked material trays 55 one by one. The transfer channel 27 can conveniently guide and transfer the material trays 55. The empty material trays 55 are discharged in the opposite way so that the anti-return components on both sides of the receiving frame 23 support the two sides of the material trays 55, realizing the stacking and receiving of empty material trays 55.

[0043] In one embodiment of this utility model, a barcode scanning component is also included. The barcode scanning component includes a barcode scanning bracket 56, which is disposed between the loading mechanism and the feeding mechanism 2. A barcode scanner 57 is mounted on the barcode scanning bracket 56. The lifting cylinder 33 drives the material tray 55 to move onto the transmission channel 27. The transfer linear module 31 drives the lifting frame and the material tray 55 to move below the loading position. During this process, the barcode scanner 57 can scan and record the barcode on the material tray 55 to ensure the smooth operation of the material tray 55.

[0044] In one embodiment of this utility model, an antistatic component is also included. The antistatic component includes a fixed bracket 53, on which an ion bar 54 is provided. The ion bar 54 is arranged opposite to the feeding opening 52. The ion bar 54 can eliminate static electricity on the product on the tray 55, prevent impurities from adsorbing on the product, and ensure the feeding quality of the product.

[0045] Usage process

[0046] The material trays 55 containing materials and products are stacked in the loading frame 22. The separating cylinder 28 drives the separating plate 29 to support the bottom of the stacked material trays 55. The lifting cylinder 33 drives the transfer fixture 4 to lift the stacked material trays 55 upward so that they are separated from the separating plate 29. At the same time as the separating plate 29 retracts, the lifting cylinder 33 drives the stacked material trays 55 on the transfer fixture 4 to move downward. The separating cylinder 28 drives the separating plate 29 to be inserted between the two bottommost material trays 55 of the stacked material trays 55. The lifting cylinder 33 drives the material trays 55 to move onto the conveying channel 27. The transfer linear module 31 drives the lifting frame and the material trays 55 to move onto the upper... Below the material, the lifting cylinder 33 drives the material tray 55 of the transfer fixture 4 to press against the loading plate 51 and compresses the spring 74 of the pressing component 7. The support cylinder 61 drives the support plate 62 to extend below the loading opening 52 to support the bottom of the material tray 55. The lifting cylinder 33 drives the material tray 55 of the transfer fixture 4 to move downward. Under the reaction force of the spring 74, the loading plate 51 presses the material tray 55 against the support plate 62. The multi-axis robotic arm 11 drives multiple conveying nozzles 15 on the conveying frame 12 to pick up and convey the products on the loading opening 52, so as to quickly complete the positioning and conveying of the products on the material tray 55.
