The upper outer cover 120 is provided with a transfer port 125 at a position corresponding to the transfer direction of the material box transport assembly 400, so as to connect to the host computer to realize the transfer of empty material box 250 and product material box 310.
[0035] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 The depalletizing assembly 200 and the stacking assembly 300 are distributed along the conveying direction of the box conveying assembly 400, and the box conveying assembly 400 is located below the depalletizing assembly 200 and the stacking assembly 300, so as to... Figure 2 Taking the direction of the material box conveying assembly 400 as an example, the conveying direction of the material box conveying assembly 400 is along the X-axis, and the depalletizing assembly 200 and the stacking assembly 300 are distributed along the X-axis. The material box conveying assembly 400 includes two first guide rails 410 fixedly installed on the machine base 100 and two sets of belts 420 respectively disposed inside the two first guide rails 410. When the belts 420 move, they can transfer the material boxes, and the first guide rails 410 can provide positioning and guidance for the material boxes to prevent them from being misaligned. After the depalletizing assembly 200 removes the empty material box 250, it will fall onto the belt 420, and the belt 420 will transfer the empty material box 250 away, while the finished material box 310 can be transferred by the belt 420 to the bottom of the stacking assembly 300 for stacking.
[0036] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3The destacking assembly 200 includes a first positioning frame 210, a first support assembly 220, and a first lifting assembly 230.

The first positioning frame 210 includes four circumferentially distributed positioning ribs 211, which are angular and can respectively position the four corners of the material box. After the destacking assembly 200 removes an empty material box 250 onto the conveyor belt 420, the first lifting assembly 230 lifts the remaining empty material boxes 250 upwards. Then, the first support assembly 220 supports the remaining empty material boxes 250 above the conveyor belt 420 to prevent them from interfering with the transfer of subsequent product material boxes 310. Furthermore, a second guide rail 240 is provided on the outer side of the first guide rail 410. Each set of first support components 220 includes a first mounting block 221, a first driving member 222, and a first support block 223. The first driving member 222 is fixedly mounted on the first mounting block 221, and the first support block 223 is connected to the output end of the first driving member 222. When the first lifting component 230 lifts the empty material box 250 upward, the first driving member 222 drives the first support block 223 to retract. After the first lifting component 230 lifts the empty material box 250 to a set height, the first driving member 222 drives the first support block 223 to extend to the bottom of the empty material box 250 to support the empty material box 250. Furthermore, some of the first mounting blocks 221 in the first support components 220 are slidably connected to the second guide rail 240. For example, in some embodiments, four sets of first support components 220 are evenly distributed circumferentially. The first mounting blocks 221 of the two sets of first support components 220 that are arranged opposite to each other are slidably connected to the second guide rail 240. This allows the positions of the two sets of first mounting blocks 221 to be adjusted so as to better adjust the support points of the four sets of first support components 220 according to the weight of the empty material box 250 and improve the support stability.
[0037] Furthermore, the stacking assembly 300 includes a second positioning frame, a second support assembly, and a second lifting assembly. The second positioning frame is fixedly mounted on the first guide rail 410. Multiple sets of second support assemblies are distributed along the circumference of the second positioning frame. The second lifting assembly is located between two first guide rails 410. A third guide rail is provided on the outer side of the first guide rail 410. Each set of second support assemblies includes a second mounting block, a second driving member, and a second support block. The second driving member is fixedly mounted on the second mounting block, and the second support block is connected to the output end of the second driving member. Some of the second support assemblies have second mounting blocks that are slidably connected to the third guide rail. The specific structure of the stacking assembly 300 is similar to that of the destabilizing assembly 200, and the working process and function of each structure are also similar, so they will not be shown again in the text and drawings.

Both the printer 510 and the receiving platform 530 are installed on the support platform 520, and the receiving platform 530 is located at the ticket outlet of the printer 510 to receive qualified tickets. When the product material box 310 reaches a set number, the printer 510 will print qualified tickets and output them to the receiving platform 530. Then, the label conveying assembly 600 will pick up and transfer them from the receiving platform 530. Furthermore, in order to facilitate the label conveying assembly 600 to pick up qualified tickets from the receiving platform 530, the receiving platform 530 has multiple grooves 531 to reduce the static force between the qualified tickets and the receiving platform 530, so that the qualified tickets can be smoothly picked up.
[0039] Furthermore, referring to Figure 5 The label conveying component 600 includes a transfer block 610 and a suction nozzle 612 and a barcode scanner 611 installed on the transfer block 610. The transfer block 610 can drive the suction nozzle 612 and the barcode scanner 611 to move along the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis. After the suction nozzle 612 picks up the qualified ticket, it moves along the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis to place the qualified ticket on the product material box 310. Then the barcode scanner 611 scans and uploads the data for archiving, so as to facilitate subsequent data traceability. Furthermore, the label conveying assembly 600 also includes a truss 620, a Y-axis guide rail 630, a first mounting bracket 640, an X-axis guide rail 650, a second mounting bracket 660, and a Z-axis drive unit 670.
