The collection plate 402 is located at the bottom of the support plate 401, and the hydraulic cylinder 403 is installed at the bottom of the collection plate 402. The hydraulic cylinder 403 allows the support plate 401, collection plate 402, and stacking platform 3 to move up or down, facilitating adaptive adjustments based on stacking conditions and easy integration with the conveyor belt 1, reducing usage limitations. Due to limitations, a damping shaft 1602 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 1601, and a guide plate 1603 is installed on the outer surface of the damping shaft 1602. A stacking platform 3 is installed at the bottom of the damping shaft 1602, and a servo motor 5 is provided on one side of the stacking platform 3. A connecting plate 6 is installed at the output end of the servo motor 5 via a shaft. An internal groove 7 is provided inside the connecting plate 6, and an electric push rod 8 is provided inside the internal groove 7. A slider 10 is installed at the output end of the electric push rod 8. The slider 10 is slidably disposed inside the internal groove 7. An auxiliary plate 9 is installed on one side of the slider 10, and a connecting post 11 is installed on the outer surface of one side of the auxiliary plate 9. A retainer 12 is engaged at the end of the connecting post 11, and a pressure plate 1 is installed at the end of the retainer 12. 3. An auxiliary pressure plate 14 is slidably installed inside the pressure plate 13. The pressure plate 13 has a hollow internal structure, and one side of its outer surface is integrated with the card holder 12. The guide plates 1603 are arranged in a trumpet shape to guide the conveyed plastic lunch box, positioning it between the two sets of guide plates 1603. The servo motor 5 and the rotating shaft drive the connecting plate 6 to rotate. This rotation positions the auxiliary plate 9, which is indirectly connected to it, above the two sets of guide plates 1603. The electric push rod 8 drives the auxiliary plate 9 to slide in the built-in groove 7 using the slider 10, thereby pressing the pressure plate 13 and the auxiliary pressure plate 14 downwards towards the plastic lunch box.This design allows for pressure application to secure loosely stacked plastic lunch boxes, preventing gaps between them and providing excellent positioning. It also reduces the space occupied by the boxes. Furthermore, the sliding connection between the pressure plate 13 and the auxiliary pressure plate 14 allows for adjustment of the pressure application area according to the needs of the plastic lunch boxes, facilitating a more precise and close fit to the inner surface of the boxes for effective stacking and positioning.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a guide plate 2 is provided on one side of the stacking platform 3, and guide components 15 for guiding plastic lunch boxes are installed on both sides of the outer surface of the guide plate 2.

The plastic lunch boxes transferred down from conveyor belt 1 will pass between two sets of guide components 15. The design of the two sets of guide plates 1503 can correct the position of the plastic lunch boxes, so that they can all be kept in the same position and continue to be transferred downwards. This is beneficial for the subsequent stacking of plastic plates. At the same time, the design of the damping shaft 1501 and the connecting sleeve 1502 makes it easy to adjust the angle of the guide plate 1503. This allows for the adjustment of the concentrated feeding area according to the size of the plastic plates, which is beneficial for adapting the guidance according to the size of the plastic plates.

[0024] In summary, the positioning and guiding mechanism of this plastic lunchbox stacking and sorting machine firstly... Figures 1-4The structure shown, in use, utilizes the hydraulic cylinder 403 to move the support plate 401, the collecting plate 402, and the stacking platform 3 up or down. This allows for adaptive adjustments based on stacking conditions and facilitates coordination with the conveyor belt 1. The plastic lunch boxes conveyed by the conveyor belt 1 then pass between two sets of guide components 1503. The design of the two guide plates 1503 corrects the position of the plastic lunch boxes, ensuring they remain in the same position for continued downward conveying. This facilitates the subsequent stacking of plastic trays. Simultaneously, the rotatable connection between the damping shaft 1501 and the connecting sleeve 1502 allows for angle adjustment of the guide plates 1503, enabling adjustment of the concentrated feeding area according to the size of the plastic trays. The guide plates 1603 are arranged in a trumpet shape, thus controlling the conveyed plastic lunch boxes. The system guides the plastic lunch boxes so that they are positioned between the two sets of guide plates 1603. The servo motor 5 and the rotating shaft drive the connecting plate 6 to rotate. This rotation positions the auxiliary plate 9, which is indirectly connected to it, above the two sets of guide plates 1603. The electric push rod 8 drives the auxiliary plate 9 to slide in the built-in groove 7 using the slider 10. This causes the pressure plate 13 and the auxiliary pressure plate 14 to press down towards the plastic lunch boxes, thus applying pressure to fix the loosely stacked plastic lunch boxes. This prevents gaps between the plastic lunch boxes and provides good positioning. It also reduces the space occupied by the plastic lunch boxes. In addition, the sliding connection between the pressure plate 13 and the auxiliary pressure plate 14 allows for adjustment of the pressure fixing area according to the needs of the plastic lunch boxes, thereby positioning and guiding the plastic lunch boxes to achieve stacking.
