[0037] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-5In this embodiment, the receiving and unloading device 100 includes a base 10 and a tray assembly 20. The base 10 has a receiving area 10a and an unloading area 10b, which are distributed at different positions on the base 10. The tray assembly 20 is disposed on one side of the base 10. The tray assembly 20 includes a movable base 21 and a tray 22. The movable base 21 is movably mounted on the base 10 and moves along the length of the base 10. The tray 22 is oscillatingly connected to the movable base 21 and can be horizontal. The material tray 22 moves with the moving seat 21 and passes through the receiving area 10a and the unloading area 10b. The material tray 22 is in a horizontal state in the receiving area 10a and is used to receive materials. The material tray 22 is in an inclined state in the unloading area 10b and is used to unload materials. It is compatible with receiving and unloading materials to realize automated receiving and unloading, avoids the need for transfer and manual unloading under human intervention, and improves the convenience of receiving and unloading castings by the receiving and unloading device 100.

[0038] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-5 In this embodiment, the base 10 serves as a supporting component of the receiving and unloading device 100, and is used to support the material tray assembly 20. The base 10 is provided with a receiving area 10a and an unloading area 10b, which are distributed at different positions on the base 10 to facilitate separate arrangement of the receiving area 10a and the unloading area 10b.

[0043] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-5 In this embodiment, the base 10 is provided with a track 12; the track 12 is arranged along the length of the base 10; the guide module 24 includes a roller, which is connected to the side wall of the movable seat 21. The roller rotates relative to the movable seat 21 and rolls relative to the track 12 to guide the movement of the movable seat 21 relative to the base 10, so that the movable seat 21 can move relative to the base 10 under the guidance by cooperating with the roller and the track 12, thus improving the smoothness of the movement of the movable seat 21 relative to the base 10.

[0044] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-5In this embodiment, the material tray 22 is located above the movable seat 21, and the material tray 22 is connected to a swing seat 221, which is hinged to the movable seat 21. This allows the material tray 22 to swing relative to the movable seat 21 via the swing seat 221, facilitating the switching between horizontal and tilted states. The material tray 22 is provided with a receiving groove 22a, which serves as the internal space of the material tray 22. The receiving groove 22a is used to receive materials, allowing the materials to be contained within the material tray 22, thus facilitating the material tray 22's support of the materials.

[0045] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the application, the material tray 22 includes a material tray body 222 and a plurality of side plates 223. The plurality of side plates 223 are arranged along the periphery of the material tray body 222 and form a receiving groove 22a with the material tray body 222. The material tray body 222 and the plurality of side plates 223 serve as the inner sidewalls of the receiving groove 22a. The receiving groove 22a has a side opening for material discharge. When the material tray 22 is tilted, the material is discharged outward through the side opening under the action of gravity, thus avoiding the material being handled by human intervention.

[0046] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-5 In this embodiment, the swing seat 221 is connected to the movable seat 21 via a hinge to allow the swing seat 221 to swing relative to the movable seat 21. The material tray assembly 20 also includes a cylinder 25, the connecting end of which is hinged to the movable seat 21, and the output end of which is hinged to the swing seat 221. The hinge between the output end of the cylinder 25 and the swing seat 221 is offset from the central axis of the material tray 22. This allows the swing seat 221 to automatically swing under the action of the cylinder 25. The material tray 22 adjusts to a horizontal or tilted state as the swing seat 221 swings. The material tray 22 is in a horizontal state in the receiving area 10a and is used to receive materials. The material tray 22 is in a tilted state in the unloading area 10b and is used to unload materials. This design integrates receiving and unloading materials to achieve automated receiving and unloading, avoiding manual transfer and unloading, and improving the convenience of receiving and unloading castings by the receiving and unloading device 100.

[0047] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-5 In this embodiment, an elastic element 26 is provided between the material tray 22 and the swing seat 221. The elastic element 26 is connected to the swing seat 221 and elastically contacts the bottom of the material tray 22 to dampen the material tray 22. Because the elastic element 26 elastically contacts the bottom of the material tray 22, it buffers and absorbs the vibrations received by the material tray 22, thereby reducing the impact of vibrations on the material tray 22 and the material on the material tray 22, and preventing the material from being damaged or displaced due to vibration.
