Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a sheet assembly equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Some products require assembly during production, which involves assembling materials into the finished product. Assembly is typically automated, using equipment to reduce labor costs and improve efficiency. Assembly equipment usually consists of a material feeding device, a material handling device for transporting and assembling materials, a product loading device, and a product unloading device for transferring assembled products. However, many assembly machines still have issues that affect cost and efficiency. For example, some machines need to pause operation after the material stored in the feeding device is depleted, until replenishment is complete, causing delays. Other assembly equipment performs assembly at the processing station, requiring additional transfer devices to move assembled products from the processing station to the unloading device, increasing costs. Furthermore, some products do not need to proceed to subsequent processing steps after assembly, so they need to be stacked. Most machines use the unloading device to transport assembled products to a pre-designated stacking station, where they are then stacked manually or mechanically. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional feeding device to solve one or more of the problems mentioned above.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a sheet assembly equipment for assembling sheet materials onto a product. The assembly equipment is provided with a processing station for performing assembly operations, a feeding station for providing materials to the processing station, and a replenishing station for replenishing materials. The feeding station is provided on opposite sides of the feeding station along a first direction, and the processing station is located on one side of the feeding station along a second direction. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0005] The assembly equipment includes:

[0006] The assembly equipment is provided with two feeding bins that can move synchronously along the first direction. When one of the feeding bins is located at the feeding station, the other feeding bin is located at the replenishing station.

[0007] The conveying seat reciprocates between the feeding station and the processing station along the second direction, and the lower part of the conveying seat is provided with an adsorption element for adsorbing materials;

[0010] In some embodiments, the feeding bin has at least a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, the feeding bin forms a first accommodating space for placing materials. In the second mode, the first accommodating space is divided into two second accommodating spaces. The lower part of the conveying seat is provided with two sets of adsorption elements, which can be arranged close to each other and relatively far apart.

[0011] In some embodiments, the feeding bin includes a first positioning member and a blocking module spaced apart along the first direction, and a second positioning member and a limiting frame spaced apart along the second direction; the first positioning member and the second positioning member are respectively fixedly arranged, the blocking module is movably arranged along the first direction, and the limiting frame is movably arranged along the second direction; a first accommodating space for placing materials is formed between the blocking module, the first positioning member, the second positioning member, and the limiting frame; a plurality of adsorption members are movably arranged at the lower part of the conveying seat.

[0012] In some embodiments, the blocking module includes at least a first blocking frame and a second blocking frame that can be separated from each other and moved along the first direction; when the first blocking frame and the second blocking frame are separated along the first direction, a second accommodating space for placing materials can be formed between the first blocking frame, the first positioning member, the second positioning member and the limiting frame, as well as between the first blocking frame, the second positioning member, the second blocking frame and the limiting frame.

[0013] In some embodiments, one or more of the blocking module, the first positioning member, the second positioning member, and the limiting frame are provided with brushes on their upper parts.

[0014] In some embodiments, the feeding hopper includes a support member for supporting the product, the support member being able to be raised and lowered; the support member is provided with a first through hole extending along the first direction and penetrating vertically and vertically and a second through hole extending along the second direction and penetrating vertically and vertically, the blocking module being able to slide along the first direction and slide along the vertical direction is disposed in the first through hole, and the limiting frame being able to slide along the second direction and slide along the vertical direction is disposed in the second through hole.

[0015] In some embodiments, the transmission member includes a plurality of parallel rollers and a drive assembly for driving the rollers to rotate, wherein the upper surfaces of the plurality of rollers together constitute the support surface.

[0016] In some embodiments, the transport seat is configured to move both along the second direction and vertically, and the adsorption element forms an adsorption plane for adsorbing the material; the transport seat is provided with a detection element and a sensor, the detection element is movably connected to the adsorption element in the vertical direction, the sensor is signal-connected to the adsorption element and used to control the adsorption element to start or stop working; the detection element has a first position and a second position above the adsorption element relative to the adsorption element. When in the first position, the lower end of the detection element is below the adsorption plane, the sensor is in an untriggered state, and the adsorption element stops working; when in the second position, the upper end of the detection element triggers the sensor, and the adsorption element starts working.

[0017] In some embodiments, the sheet assembly equipment includes a crossbeam extending along a second direction and located on one side of the processing station along a first direction.

[0018] In some embodiments, a plurality of the adsorption elements are movably disposed on the lower part of the transport seat, and the assembly equipment is provided with a drive element for driving the adsorption elements to move; the assembly equipment is also provided with a viewing angle module, and the processing station or the feeding station is located within the detection range of the viewing angle module; the viewing angle module and the drive element are signal connected to adjust the position of the adsorption elements according to the detection content.

[0019] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the sheet assembly equipment of this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0020] 1. The sheet assembly equipment is equipped with two feeding bins. The two feeding bins can feed materials alternately, and one feeding bin can supply materials to the processing station while the other feeding bin is replenishing materials. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the equipment stopping work due to insufficient materials.

[0021] 2. The transmission component is located at the processing station and has both supporting and transporting functions. The assembled products can be directly transported through the transmission component without the need for a separate transfer device, which can save costs and improve efficiency.

[0022] 3. Products can be directly stacked above the support surface of the conveyor located at the processing station. The conveyor can move up and down, and by driving the conveyor downward, it can avoid collisions with the transport seat and the loading unit. In addition to avoiding collisions, the downward movement of the assembled products by the conveyor also ensures that the working surface of the loading unit remains unchanged, and that after stacking new products, the height of the top products is consistent, thus keeping the working surface of the adsorption unit unchanged. In this way, in the normal assembly process, the working mode of the loading unit and the adsorption unit does not need to be adjusted; only the step of moving the conveyor up and down needs to be added. Moreover, this step can be carried out simultaneously with the handling of products and materials, without increasing the total assembly time.

[0023] Once a certain number of products have been stacked, the conveyor can transport the stacked products together. In this way, multiple tasks such as material assembly, product stacking, and product transfer are completed at the processing station without affecting the equipment's working efficiency. There is no need to set up a separate workstation for stacking products or a separate stacking device, which can save space and reduce equipment costs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that the advantages and features of this utility model can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art. Obviously, the embodiments described in this application are only a part of the embodiments, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] See Figures 1 to 3 The sheet assembly equipment shown is used to assemble sheet materials onto a product. The sheet assembly equipment includes a processing station 100 for material assembly operations, a feeding station 200 for supplying materials to the processing station 100, and a replenishing station 300 for replenishing materials. The feeding station 200 has replenishing stations 300 on opposite sides along a first direction. The processing station 100 is located on one side of the feeding station 200 along a second direction. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0038] In this embodiment, the sheet assembly equipment includes a feeding bin 1, a conveying seat 2, a loading mechanism, and a transmission component 4. The assembly equipment has two feeding bins 1 that can move synchronously along a first direction. When one feeding bin 1 is located at the feeding station 200, the other feeding bin 1 is located at the replenishment station 300. Thus, the two feeding bins 1 can alternately supply material, and while one feeding bin 1 is supplying material to the processing station 100, it can replenish the feeding bin 1 located at the replenishment station 300, avoiding equipment downtime due to insufficient material supply. The conveying seat 2 reciprocates along a second direction between the feeding station 200 and the processing station 100. The lower part of the conveying seat 2 is equipped with an adsorption component 21 for adsorbing material, enabling material transfer and assembly. The loading mechanism has a loading component 31 for transporting the product to the processing station 100. The transmission component 4 is set at the processing station 100 and is used to transfer the product away from the processing station 100. The transmission component 4 has an upward-facing support surface, which is used to support the product and can transfer the product. A stacking space for stacking products is formed above the support surface. The transmission component 4 can be set up and down so that it can move the products on it together. It can ensure that no matter how many products are supported or stacked on the transmission component 4, the products at the top can be at the same height.

[0039] In this embodiment, the conveyor 4, located at processing station 100, serves both to support the product for assembly and to transport the assembled product. Products can be stacked directly at processing station 100. After a product is assembled at processing station 100, it can move downwards via the conveyor 4. This allows it to avoid products transported by the loading component 31 and create space. Furthermore, by adjusting the height of the conveyor 4, the working surface of the transport seat 2 remains unchanged. This means that the transport seat 2 can perform product stacking operations simultaneously with product loading without altering its loading mode. The height adjustment of the conveyor 4 also ensures that the working surface of the adsorption component 21 remains unchanged, allowing it to maintain the same working mode to assemble materials onto the top product without constantly adjusting its working mode based on changes in the number of products stacked. Thus, by simply using the vertically movable conveyor 4, the equipment can perform multiple tasks—assembly, product stacking, and product transport—at processing station 100 without affecting other assembly processes.

[0040] In this embodiment, see Figure 4As shown, the conveying component 4 includes multiple parallel rollers 41 and a drive assembly for rotating the rollers 41. The upper surfaces of the multiple rollers 41 together form a support surface. During operation, the loading component 31 places the product above the multiple rollers 41, which support the product. The material is then transported by the conveying seat 2 and assembled. After assembly, see [link to documentation]. Figure 5 As shown, the conveyor 4 can move downwards, and the loading component 31 continues to transport and stack the products on top of the products that have just completed the assembly operation. During the continuous stacking process, the conveyor seat 2 assembles the materials for each stacked product. When the products are stacked to a predetermined number, the conveyor 4 descends to a preset height, and the drive component drives the roller 41 to rotate, thereby transporting the products stacked above.

[0041] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the roller 41 extends parallel to the second direction, and multiple rollers 41 are arranged parallel to each other along the first direction. The conveying member 4 can convey the product away from the processing station 100 along the first direction. Specifically, the conveying member 4 includes two lifting frames 42 spaced apart along the second direction. The roller 41 is rotatably arranged between the two lifting frames 42 around its own axis. By driving the lifting frames 42 to move up and down, the roller 41 moves up and down together.

[0042] This embodiment is summarized; see also: Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the equipment has multiple processing stations 100 arranged along the second direction. Product loading and material assembly operations can be performed at the multiple processing stations 100 simultaneously, thereby ensuring efficiency. In some embodiments, multiple loading components 31 can be provided to simultaneously load products at multiple processing stations 100, or multiple conveying seats 2 can be provided to simultaneously assemble materials at multiple processing stations 100, further improving efficiency.

[0043] In this embodiment, a positioning element is provided at the processing station 100 to position the transported product, thereby ensuring the accuracy of material assembly and the neatness of product stacking. Specifically, two first positioning elements 51 are provided on both sides of the processing station 100 along the second direction. The two first positioning elements 51 can be arranged relatively close to or relatively far apart along the second direction. By driving the two first positioning elements 51 relatively close, the product at the processing station 100 can be clamped, thereby achieving positioning of the product in the second direction. In this embodiment, a second positioning element 52 is provided on the side of the processing station 100 parallel to the first direction. Specifically, the second positioning element 52 is located on the side opposite to the transmission direction of the transmission element 4. The second positioning element 52 can be arranged to move parallel to the first direction. The two first positioning elements 51 and one second positioning element 52 cooperate to achieve positioning of the product in three directions. In this embodiment, the first positioning member 51 includes multiple positioning rods extending in the vertical direction. These positioning rods are inserted into the gap between two adjacent rollers 41, thus avoiding interference with the vertical movement of the conveyor 4. The first positioning member 51 also includes a crossbar connecting the upper parts of the multiple positioning rods. In this embodiment, the second positioning member 52 also extends in the vertical direction. When the conveyor 4 is at its highest position to receive the first product, the crossbar of the first positioning member 51 and the upper part of the second positioning member 52 can position the product. When the conveyor 4 moves downwards and the products are stacked above it, the crossbar of the first positioning member 51 and the upper part of the second positioning member 52 position the top product, while the positioning rods of the first positioning member 51 and the lower part of the second positioning member 52 position the products stacked below, ensuring neat stacking and thus guaranteeing stacking stability.

[0044] In this embodiment, the sheet assembly equipment includes a crossbeam 6 extending along a second direction. The crossbeam 6 is located on one side of the processing station 100 along a first direction, and a transport seat 2 is movably mounted on the crossbeam 6. Specifically, a loading component 31 is also movably mounted on the crossbeam 6, and both the transport seat 2 and the loading component 31 perform loading operations along the second direction. In this embodiment, an ionizing air bar 7 is provided at the lower part of the crossbeam 6, and the air outlet of the ionizing air bar 7 faces the processing station 100. Specifically, see [link to documentation]. Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, each processing station 100 is equipped with an ion air bar 7, which is used for cleaning and eliminating static electricity.

[0045] In this embodiment, the feeding hopper 1 has at least a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, the feeding hopper 1 forms a first accommodating space 10a for placing materials; in the second mode, the first accommodating space 10a is divided into two second accommodating spaces 10b. In this embodiment, the lower part of the conveying seat 2 is provided with two sets of adsorption members 21, which can be arranged close to each other or relatively far apart. When the feeding hopper 1 is in the first mode, the two sets of adsorption members 21 jointly participate in the adsorption and conveying of materials in the first accommodating space 10a. When the feeding hopper 1 is in the second mode, the two sets of adsorption members 21 can respectively adsorb and convey materials located in the two second accommodating spaces 10b. See also Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the distance between the two sets of adsorption elements 21 can be adjusted by driving the two sets of adsorption elements 21 to move closer to each other and further apart, so as to match the two modes of the feeding bin 1 and ensure that the material can be accurately and stably adsorbed in both modes.

[0046] Because different products have different assembly requirements, some products only require the assembly of one material, while others require the assembly of multiple materials. Common assembly equipment, while still functioning normally, requires two material retrieval and assembly operations for each product when faced with increased material requirements, significantly reducing efficiency. In this embodiment, the assembly equipment's feeding bin 1 can be adjusted between providing one first accommodating space 10a and two second accommodating spaces 10b, depending on demand. Simultaneously, the conveying seat 2 can adjust the adsorption element 21 to retrieve a single material or two materials at once. Thus, with the cooperation of the feeding bin 1 and the conveying seat 2, when the product's assembly requirement changes from assembling one material to assembling two materials, the assembly equipment can simultaneously retrieve and assemble two materials without affecting efficiency. In other embodiments, the feeding bin 1 also has a third mode. In this third mode, the first accommodating space 10a can be divided into more parts, and in conjunction with the adsorption element 21, more materials can be simultaneously retrieved and assembled.

[0047] In this embodiment, the feeding bin 1 includes a first positioning member 11 and a blocking module 12 spaced apart along a first direction, and a second positioning member 13 and a limiting frame 14 spaced apart along a second direction. The first positioning member 11 and the second positioning member 13 are respectively fixedly arranged. The blocking module 12 is movable along the first direction, and the limiting frame 14 is movable along the second direction. The blocking module 12, the first positioning member 11, the second positioning member 13, and the limiting frame 14 enclose a first accommodating space 10a for placing materials. See [reference needed]. Figure 6As shown, the feeding hopper 1 is in the first mode. The shape and size of the first accommodating space 10a can be adjusted by moving the blocking module 12 or the limiting frame 14, thus adapting to different types of sheet materials. In this embodiment, multiple adsorption elements 21 are movably provided on the lower part of the conveying seat 2. The positions of the multiple adsorption elements 21 can be adjusted to adapt to materials of different sizes and shapes. See also... Figure 9 As shown, the adsorption component 21 includes a mounting frame 212 and a suction nozzle 211 disposed on the mounting frame 212. Specifically, the mounting frame 212 is provided with a sliding groove 213, and the suction nozzle 211 is disposed in the sliding groove 213. The suction nozzle 211 can slide along the sliding groove 213 to adjust the adsorption position.

[0048] In this embodiment, the blocking module 12 includes at least a first blocking frame 121 and a second blocking frame 122 that are separable from each other and movable along a first direction. When the first blocking frame 121 and the second blocking frame 122 are separated along the first direction, a second accommodating space 10b for placing materials can be formed between the first blocking frame 121, the first positioning member 11, the second positioning member 13 and the limiting frame 14, and between the first blocking frame 121, the second positioning member 13, the second blocking frame 122 and the limiting frame 14. (See also...) Figure 8 As shown, the feeding bin 1 is in the second mode at this time. In the second mode, the first blocking frame 121 separates the first accommodating space 10a, and the conveying seat 2 can simultaneously pick up materials from the two second accommodating spaces 10b, and assemble them synchronously after being transported to the processing station 100, so as to improve efficiency.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the feeding hopper 1 is in the second mode, the two second accommodating spaces 10b are distributed along the first direction. See also Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the lower part of the conveying seat 2 is provided with two adsorption members 21 parallel to the first direction. The two adsorption members 21 can be movably arranged relative to each other along the first direction to cooperate with the switching of the feeding bin 1 between the first mode and the second mode.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first positioning member 11 and the second positioning member 13 are plate-shaped structures, and the first blocking frame 121, the second blocking frame 122 and the limiting frame 14 are respectively composed of rods arranged at intervals.

[0051] In this embodiment, the feeding bin 1 includes a support member 15 for supporting the product, which is capable of being raised and lowered. Specifically, the support member 15 has an upward-facing bearing surface 150. Materials located in the first accommodating space 10a or the second accommodating space 10b are stacked on the support member 15 and can move upward under the drive of the support member 15, thereby facilitating the material handling seat 2 to pick up materials from above.

[0052] In this embodiment, the support member 15 is provided with a first through hole 151 extending along a first direction and penetrating vertically, and a second through hole 152 extending parallel to a second direction and penetrating vertically. The first blocking bracket 121 and the second blocking bracket 122 are disposed within the first through hole 151, which can slide both along the first direction and vertically. The limiting bracket 14 is disposed within the second through hole 152, which can slide both parallel to the second direction and vertically. The first through hole 151 and the second through hole 152 are provided to avoid mutual interference between the support member 15, the blocking module 12, and the limiting bracket 14.

[0053] In this embodiment, the limiting frame 14 includes a base frame and a top frame connected to the upper part of the base frame. The limiting frame 14 has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the top frame extends upward from the upper part of the base frame; in the second state, the top frame is folded up to one side of the base frame. When it is necessary to replenish material to the feeding hopper 1, the limiting frame 14 is converted to the second state, thereby forming an opening for replenishing material. Specifically, the top frame is configured to be both rotatable and capable of moving up and down relative to the base frame. The base frame is provided with a locking structure, and the top frame has a locked position and an unlocked position above the locked position relative to the base frame. When in the locked position, the limiting frame 14 is in the first state, and the locking structure cooperates with the top frame to prevent the top frame from rotating relative to the base frame; when in the unlocked position, the locking structure disengages from the top frame to allow the top frame to rotate relative to the base frame. When it is necessary to convert the limiting frame 14 to the second state, the top frame must first be moved to the unlocked position.

[0054] In this embodiment, the lower part of the top frame is provided with a rotating shaft, and the base frame is provided with a slot extending in the vertical direction. The rotating shaft is inserted into the slot in a way that allows it to both slide and rotate. The lower part of the top frame is also provided with a limiting pin. The locking structure includes a limiting groove provided on the base frame, and the upper part of the limiting groove has an opening. When the top frame is in the locked position, the limiting pin is located in the limiting groove; when it is in the unlocked position, the limiting pin disengages from the opening and moves out of the limiting groove, thereby allowing the top frame to rotate. Specifically, the limiting groove is located above the slot, the limiting pin and the rotating shaft extend in a first direction, and the groove walls on opposite sides of the limiting groove in a second direction form a blocking and limiting effect on the limiting pin.

[0055] In this embodiment, one or more of the first blocking frame 121, the second blocking frame 122, the first positioning member 11, the second positioning member 13, and the limiting frame 14 are provided with brushes 16 on their upper parts. By providing brushes 16, when the transport seat 2 removes materials, the brushes 16 sweep away excess materials, thereby preventing the transport seat 2 from removing multiple pieces of materials at once. In a preferred embodiment, brushes 16 are provided on the upper parts of the first blocking frame 121, the second blocking frame 122, the first positioning member 11, the second positioning member 13, and the limiting frame 14. In the first mode, the brushes 16 are located on the upper part of the first accommodating space 10a; in the second mode, the brushes 16 are located on the upper part of the second accommodating space 10b. In this embodiment, see... Figure 7As shown, brushes 16 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the upper part of the first blocking frame 121 along the first direction. When the feeding bin 1 is in the second mode, the brushes 16 on both sides of the first blocking frame 121 are respectively located on the upper part of the second accommodating space 10b on both sides.

[0056] In this embodiment, the feeding hopper 1 has a base 17, a first positioning member 11 and a second positioning member 13 are fixedly mounted on the base 17, a blocking module 12 and a limiting frame 14 are movably mounted on the base 17, and a support member 15 is movably mounted on the base 17. See also... Figure 6 , Figure 8 As shown, the assembly equipment is provided with a guide rail 18 extending in a first direction, and the base 17 is slidably disposed on the guide rail 18. The guide rail 18 provides guidance for the movement of the feeding bin 1.

[0057] In this embodiment, the conveying seat 2 is configured to move both in the second direction and vertically, and the conveying seat 2 obtains materials from the feeding bin 1 by moving vertically. In this embodiment, the adsorption member 21 forms an adsorption plane 210 for adsorbing materials. Specifically, the bottoms of multiple suction nozzles 211 together constitute the adsorption plane 210.

[0058] In this embodiment, see Figure 11 As shown, the conveying seat 2 is equipped with a detection element 221 and a sensor 222. The detection element 221 is movably connected to the adsorption element 21 in the vertical direction. The sensor 222 is signal-connected to the adsorption element 21 and is used to control the adsorption element 21 to start or stop working. The detection element 221 has a first position and a second position above the adsorption element 21. When it is in the first position, the lower end of the detection element 221 is below the adsorption plane 210, the sensor 222 is not triggered, and the adsorption element 21 stops working. When the conveying seat 2 takes material from the feeding bin 1, as the adsorption element 21 moves downward and approaches the material, the lower end of the detection element 221 contacts the material and, driven by the material, the detection element 221 moves upward relative to the adsorption element 21, thereby moving the detection element 221 to the second position. When the detection element 221 is in the second position, the upper end of the detection element 221 triggers the sensor 222, the adsorption element 21 starts working, and adsorbs and fixes the material. Preferably, when the bottom of the detection element 221 is aligned with the adsorption plane 210, the detection element 221 moves to the second position, at which point the material can be adsorbed.

[0059] In this embodiment, the assembly equipment is equipped with a viewing module. The vision module is positioned above the processing station 100, which is within the detection range of the viewing module, and is used to assist the transport seat 2 in assembling materials. In some embodiments, a vision module is also positioned above the feeding station 200, which is within the detection range of the viewing module, and is used to assist the transport seat 2 in picking up materials. In some embodiments, the viewing module is positioned on the transport seat 2. The assembly equipment is also equipped with a driving component for driving the adsorption component 21 to move. The viewing module is signal-connected to the driving component, and the position of the adsorption component 21 can be adjusted using the information obtained by the vision module through the driving component.

[0060] In summary, the sheet assembly equipment of this embodiment is equipped with two feeding bins 1, which can alternately supply materials. One feeding bin 1 can supply materials to the processing station 100 while simultaneously replenishing the other feeding bin 1, thus eliminating concerns about equipment downtime due to insufficient materials. The conveyor 4 located at the processing station 100 simultaneously functions as a product support and transport device. Assembled products can be directly transported via the conveyor 4 without the need for a separate transfer device, saving costs and improving efficiency. In this embodiment, products can be directly stacked above the support surface of the conveyor 4 located at the processing station 100. The conveyor 4 can move up and down; by driving the conveyor 4 downwards, it can avoid contact with the transport seat 2 and the loading component 31. Besides avoiding contact, the downward movement of the conveyor 4 also ensures that the working surface of the loading component 31 remains unchanged, and that after stacking new products, the height of the top products is consistent, thereby keeping the working surface of the adsorption component 21 unchanged. In this way, during the normal assembly process, the working modes of the feeding component 31 and the adsorption component 21 do not need to be adjusted. Only the up-and-down movement of the conveyor component 4 needs to be added. This process can be carried out simultaneously with the handling of products and materials, without increasing the total assembly time. After a certain number of products are stacked, the conveyor component 4 can transport the stacked products together. In this way, multiple tasks such as material assembly, product stacking, and product transfer are completed at the processing station 100. This does not affect the equipment's working efficiency, eliminates the need for a separate workstation for stacking products, and eliminates the need for a separate stacking device, thus saving space and reducing equipment costs.
