The guide chute 3 is connected to the upper side of both the recycling bin 1 and the tile storage rack 9, and a conveyor belt 7 is fixedly embedded in the lower inner wall of the guide chute 3. 7 moves in the opposite direction to the recycling bin 1 and the tile storage rack 9, and the surface of the conveyor belt 7 has a uniform rubber protrusion structure, so that the conveyor belt 7 can transport, feed and recycle materials through the recycling bin 1 and the tile storage rack 9. The lower ends of both sides of the guide chute 3 are fixedly connected to the support platform 14, and the upper end of the support platform 14 is rolled and embedded with the guide roller 13. The guide roller 13 is distributed in a parallel position on the support platform 14, and the position of the guide roller 13 is flush with the position of the upper surface of the conveyor belt 7, so that the guide roller 13 can guide the concrete tile 6 more stably. The inner wall of the tile storage rack 9 is provided with a screw slide groove 16 on the front and rear sides, and a screw slider 18 is slidably inserted into the inner wall of the screw slide groove 16. A pusher plate 17 is fixedly connected between the screw slider 18 and the screw. A screw mechanism 15 is inserted and connected through the inner wall of the slide 16. Concrete tiles 6 are placed on the inner wall of the tile storage rack 9, and a first electric push rod 5 is vertically fixed to one side of the tile storage rack 9. The concrete tiles 6 are pushed to the tile storage rack 9 via a pusher plate 17, and the pusher plate 17 is connected to the screw slide 16 via the screw mechanism 15 and the screw slider 18 for screw lifting.

Next, the PLC controller 2 controls the screw mechanism 15, which drives the pusher plate 17 to rise to the thickness position of the concrete tile 6 through the screw slide 16 and screw slider 18. Then, the first electric push rod 5 and the first push block 12 push the concrete tile 6 onto the conveyor belt 7, and then convey it to one side. When it moves to the positioning groove 8, it is sensed by the proximity sensor 19. Then, the second electric push rod 10 and the second push block 11 correct the concrete tile 6. Then, the concrete tile laying robot grabs it and lays it. When there are waste tiles, they can be grabbed and placed on the conveyor belt 7 on one side of the recycling box 1, and the waste tiles can be moved into the recycling box 1 for recycling. Then, continuous feeding can be carried out. This is the usage process of this tile feeding mechanism in conjunction with an automatic concrete tile laying robot.
