[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1-3 An automatic material handling device is shown, comprising a frame 1, with a feeding area on one side of the bottom of the frame. Material boxes 17 are stacked in the feeding area. An XZ-axis truss conveying mechanism 21, a tilting and unloading mechanism 19, and a discharge mechanism 20 are mounted on the frame. The XZ-axis truss conveying mechanism transports the material boxes to the tilting and unloading mechanism, which tilts and unloads the material from the boxes onto the discharge mechanism. The material boxes contain ceramic sheets or other small parts that require transfer, conveying, or production; a full box weighs approximately 30-40 kg. The tilting and unloading mechanism significantly reduces the workload of manual operation.

[0023] Specifically, the XZ-axis truss conveying mechanism includes a central mounting base 4, which is mounted on the X-axis guide rail 2 and driven by the X-axis drive motor 7 to move left and right. A lifting shaft 6, driven by a Z-axis motor 3, is located at the center of the central mounting base. A mounting plate is connected to the bottom of the lifting shaft, and a clamping mechanism is provided on the mounting plate. Z-axis guide rails 5 are formed at the front and rear of the lifting shaft, with toothed grooves on both sides. A gear is formed at the output end of the Z-axis motor, and the Z-axis motor drives the gear to rotate, thereby moving the lifting shaft.

[0024] Specifically, the clamping mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged clamping blocks 8, which are controlled by two symmetrically arranged clamping cylinders. The clamping blocks have hook-like claws at their inner ends, while the material box has corresponding slots on both sides, facilitating clamping and gripping of the material box. With the aid of sensors, the clamping status can be monitored in real time.

[0025] Specifically, the tilting and unloading mechanism includes a tray 9, on the side of which is a tilting motor 10, which drives the tray 9 to tilt horizontally. After the material tray is clamped onto the tray, the tilting motor performs a tilting action to unload the material.

[0026] Specifically, the discharge mechanism includes a hopper 22, inside which a vibrating disc is installed, and on the outside of the vibrating disc is a discharge plate 16. The hopper is designed to collect material and prevent it from spilling outwards.

[0027] Specifically, a guide ramp 12 is installed above the hopper, on the side where the tray tilts. The tray deflects toward the guide ramp 12, and the guide ramp serves to stop and guide the material.

[0028] Specifically, a guide plate is mounted on a support rod 11, with rotating blocks on both sides of the support rod. A telescopic cylinder 13 is connected to the inner side of each rotating block. This facilitates adjustment of the guide plate's position.

[0029] Specifically, the bottom of the tray has multiple perforated holes.

[0030] Specifically, a clamping mechanism is provided on both sides of the upper part of the pallet. The clamping mechanism includes clamping support blocks 14 installed on the side mounting plate of the pallet, and the clamping support blocks are moved by clamping cylinders 15.

[0031] Specifically, the material box 17 is placed on the handcart 18. The material boxes are pushed into the feeding area by the handcart.

[0032] The working process of this utility model is as follows: Workers push the material boxes into the feeding area using a trolley. The XZ-axis truss conveying mechanism is activated, and the X-axis drive motor 7 drives the center mounting base directly above the material box. Then, the Z-axis motor 3 drives the lifting shaft 6 to raise and lower it to a suitable height. The clamping cylinder controls the clamping block to pick up the material box, and then the XZ-axis truss conveying mechanism transports the material box to the tray of the tilting and unloading mechanism 19. The tilting motor 10 drives the tray 9 to tilt horizontally once to unload the material to the discharge mechanism. A second unloading process is then performed to discharge all the material. The discharge mechanism uses a vibrating material tray to sequentially sort and transfer the parts for processing or conveying.

[0033] It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
