The first plate 2221 and the second plate 2222 are hollow, so that the material can be loaded and unloaded conveniently.

The first plate 2221 and the second plate 2222 may be provided with

second shutters

2223 and 2224, which are opposite to each other and may define the position of the material loaded on the loading portion 222, so as to prevent the material from being loaded disorderly or slipping.

The loading part 222 may be provided with a first sensor 223. The first sensor 223 may be disposed on the first plate 2221, and may be disposed in front of the second shutter 2223; alternatively, the first sensor 223 may be disposed on the second plate 2222 and may be disposed in front of the second shutter 2224.

The second sensor 231, the third sensor 232, and the fourth sensor 233 may be photoelectric sensors, visual sensors, or the like.

The second sensor 231 is disposed at a lower end of the elevating mechanism 20, and the second sensor 231 may define a lower limit position at which the loading portion 222 is lowered, for example, the lower limit position may be set to a position at which the lowest position of the loading portion 222 is lowered to the bottom of the elevating mechanism 20. When the second sensor 231 detects that the loading part 222 has fallen to the lower limit position, the elevating drive mechanism 21 stops operating to prevent the loading part 222 from falling below the lower limit position and colliding with and damaging the elevating mechanism 20.

The third sensor 232 is disposed between the second sensor 231 and the fourth sensor 233, and may be disposed at a position slightly higher than the second sensor 231, for example. The third sensor 232 may define an origin position of the loading portion 222, where the origin position is a coordinate reference for the lifting mechanism 20 to convey the material to the processing setting, and the starting position of the lifting mechanism 20 to convey the material may be any one position between the upper limit position and the lower limit position, specifically, in some embodiments, the starting position may be the origin position, and then the coordinate of the starting position is 0; in some embodiments, the starting position is between the origin position and the lower limit position, and the coordinates of the starting position are negative; in some embodiments, the starting position is located between the origin position and the upper limit position.

When the fourth sensor 233 detects that the loading unit 222 has risen to the upper limit position, the elevating drive mechanism 21 stops operating to prevent the loading unit 222 from rising to the upper limit position or more and colliding with and damaging the elevating mechanism 20.

Fig. 4 shows a schematic configuration of the horizontal movement mechanism 30. The horizontal movement mechanism 30 includes a sliding support portion 31 and a carrier plate 32, and the sliding support portion 31 is disposed perpendicular to the elevating slide table 212. The bearing plate 32 is used for bearing materials and is arranged on the sliding support portion 31, and the bearing plate 32 can move towards or away from the lifting mechanism 20 along the second direction 2 on the sliding support portion 31, so that the materials can be conveyed or recovered to the lifting mechanism 20.

As shown in fig. 4, the sliding support 31 includes a mounting plate 311 and a slide rail 312 mounted on the mounting plate 311, and the carrier plate 32 is mounted on the slide rail 312 through a slider 323, so that the carrier plate 32 can move toward or away from the lifting mechanism 20 along the slide rail 312 along the second direction 2.

The sliding support 31 further includes limiting

modules

313 and 314 disposed in the moving direction of the carrier plate 32, and the limiting

modules

313 and 314 may be disposed at two ends of the sliding rail 312 respectively. The

position limiting modules

313 and 314 can limit the farthest position of the movement of the carrier 32, so as to prevent the carrier 32 from moving out of the sliding support portion 31.

In some embodiments, the

position limiting modules

313 and 314 may be magnet modules, and magnet components or magnetic materials may be disposed at two ends of the supporting plate 32 contacting the

position limiting modules

313 and 314. Therefore, if the carrier plate 32 moves to the two ends of the sliding support portion 31, the carrier plate 32 and the

position limiting modules

313 and 314 can be attracted to each other by magnetic attraction, so as to prevent the carrier plate 32 from moving and oscillating when reaching the end position.

In some embodiments, the sliding support portion 31 may also be provided with a driving mechanism, such as a linear motor, an electric lift table, a combination of a servo motor and a lead screw or a timing belt, a hydraulic driving device, a pneumatic driving device, or the like. The driving mechanism is connected to the carrier plate 32 and can drive the carrier plate 32 to move on the sliding support portion 31 along the second direction 2 toward or away from the lifting mechanism 20, so as to realize automation of the movement of the carrier plate 32.

As shown in fig. 4, an armrest 321 may be disposed on the carrying plate 32 for an operator to push and pull the carrying plate 32 for loading and unloading operations. The armrest 321 may be disposed at an end of the carrier plate 32 remote from the elevating mechanism 20 and disposed upward.

third baffles

3221 and 3222 may be further disposed on the bearing plate 32, and the

third baffles

3221 and 3222 may be disposed at two ends of the bearing plate 32 along the second direction 2, respectively. The

third baffles

3221, 3222 are used to define the position of the material carried on the carrying plate 32 to prevent the material from slipping or being disorderly placed during the movement.

Fig. 5 shows a schematic structure diagram of the first positioning module 40, and the first positioning module 40 may be a set of low level sensors 41.

The low sensor 41 may detect position information of the material in the first bin 102 and feed the detected information back to the lifting mechanism 20. For example, the position information of the material may be a set position of whether the elevator mechanism 20 is to convey the material to the first bin 102, and the set position may be a position that enables the transfer mechanism 50 to at least take the material from the first bin 102 to transfer the material to another bin.

If the low level sensor 41 detects that the lifting mechanism 20 does not convey the material to the set position, the low level sensor 41 feeds back the information to the lifting mechanism 20, and the lifting mechanism 20 controls the material in the first storage bin 102 to be conveyed to the set position according to the fed-back information; if the low sensor 41 detects that the elevator mechanism 20 is delivering the material to the set position, the low sensor 41 feeds back this information to the elevator mechanism 20, and the elevator mechanism 20 does not operate.

In some embodiments, the low sensor 41 may be a pair of photosensors opposite to each other.

As shown in fig. 5, the apparatus 100 for material storage and transfer further includes a set of separation cylinders 60 disposed on the top plate 105, and the separation cylinders 60 may be disposed vertically with respect to the low sensor 41 or disposed in parallel with respect to the low sensor 41.

The separation cylinder 60 can separate the topmost material from other materials when the low sensor 41 detects that the materials are located at the set position, so that the transfer mechanism 50 can smoothly acquire the topmost material.

As shown in fig. 5, the apparatus 100 for material storage and transfer may further include a high sensor 70 disposed on the top plate 105, the high sensor 70 may be disposed in parallel with the low sensor 41, and the height of the high sensor 70 is at least higher than the height of the low sensor 41.

The high level sensor 70 may define a safe position for the elevator mechanism 20 to transport material that ensures safe operation of the processing equipment associated with the apparatus 100 for material storage and transfer. If the material transport position is higher than the safety position, operation failure of the processing equipment associated with the apparatus 100 for material storage and transfer may occur. Then, if the high sensor 70 detects that the position of the material reaches the safe position, the elevator mechanism 20 will stop continuing to convey the material.

Fig. 6 shows a schematic structural view of the transfer mechanism 50. The transfer mechanism 50 includes a transfer driving mechanism 51 and a material clamping mechanism 52 connected to each other, the transfer driving mechanism 51 is disposed on the top plate 105 along the third direction 3 and disposed across the first bin 102, the second bin 103, and the third bin 104, and the material clamping mechanism 52 is disposed above one of the first bin 102, the second bin 103, and the third bin 104.
