Further, a feed controller (not shown) may also be included; each pushing mechanism further comprises a material identification sensor (not shown in the figure); the feeding controller is electrically connected with the pushing mechanism, the second conveying device 31 and the third conveying device 33 respectively. The material to be pushed on the second conveying device 31 is identified by the material identification sensor and fed back to the feeding controller, so that automatic material pushing control is realized. For example, when the corresponding pushing mechanism recognizes that the material on the second conveying device 31 enters the pushing plate 325, the horizontal shifter 323 can be controlled to push the material, and the material can be lifted by a certain height after pushing is completed to avoid interference with the conveying of the next material. And the next material pushing mechanism correspondingly takes action to complete material pushing when sensing the materials through the identification sensor. Or when all the pushing mechanisms are identified by the identification sensors, the pushing mechanisms can push materials at the same time at one time, and a person skilled in the art can make appropriate changes based on the above situation, and the method is not limited in particular.

Further, the material identification sensor may be a pressure sensor; the pressure sensor is attached to the stopper portion 3252. When the material enters the material pushing plate 325 and contacts the material blocking portion 3252 of the material pushing plate 325 to apply pressure to the pressure sensor, the pressure sensor sends a signal at this time to determine that the material has entered the material pushing plate 325, so that the material pushing mechanism controls the horizontal mover 323 to operate to push the material to the third conveying device 33. When each pushing mechanism performs pushing action, the third conveying device 33 can be started to operate, so that the third conveying device 33 continuously vacates a vacant position for conveying the next row of materials.

Further, the number of the pushing mechanisms can be three. Of course, those skilled in the art can make appropriate changes and adjustments according to actual situations, and the specific number is not limited.

For the purposes of the present application, the third conveying device 33 may be inclined and may be used for conveying different materials, such as conveying chain plates, conveying belts, etc. Taking the conveying of the soft package of lotus paste fillings as an example, the third conveying device 33 may be a conventional belt conveyor, wherein the conveying belt may be an anti-slip conveying belt design, and is not limited specifically.

While the cold water tank apparatus provided by the present application has been described in detail, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the embodiment of the present application, there are variations in the specific implementation and application scope, and in summary, the content of the present application should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.
