As shown in fig. 1 to 5, in particular, the material distribution module 120 includes two oppositely disposed guide blocks 160, the two guide blocks 160 are disposed at intervals along the width direction of the conveyor belt 110, a guide groove is formed between the two guide blocks 160, the guide groove is in a funnel shape with an enlarged opening, and the first material 20 conveyed along the conveyor belt 110 can enter the guide groove. Further, the plurality of guide grooves together constitute a raw meal passage 111 through which the first material 20 is conveyed on the conveyor belt 110, so that the first material 20 can be conveyed along the raw meal passage 111. It can be understood that for the first material 20 placed on the conveyor belt 110 from the a1 side, it can first enter the guide slot of the # 1 splitting module 120, and then the first material 20 can be carried to the temporary storage platform 130 of the # 1 splitting module 120 by the carrying mechanism 140 of the # 1 splitting module 120, or the first material 20 is not carried and is continuously carried to the guide slot of the # 2 splitting module 120 by the conveyor belt 110, or the first material 20 can be finally carried to the guide slot of the # 6 splitting module 120 along the raw material passage 111 and is carried by the carrying mechanism 140 of the # 6 splitting module 120.

It can be understood that the two temporary storage positions 131 are respectively located at two sides of the raw material channel 111, and the two blanking positions 151 are respectively located at two sides of the raw material channel 111, so that the manipulator 41 can conveniently take materials from the corresponding temporary storage positions 131 or carry finished products to the corresponding blanking positions 151. In addition, in a plurality of branch material module 120, along the direction of delivery of conveyer belt 110, a plurality of material levels 151 collineates, at this moment, also form the finished product passageway 112 that supplies the finished product circulation on conveyer belt 110, so, finished product passageway 112 and raw meal passageway 111 misplace in the width direction of conveyer belt 110 and set up, just make finished product and the transport of first material 20 noninterfere to make conveyer belt 110 have the function of the material loading of first material 20 and the unloading of finished product simultaneously, and then the utilization ratio of conveyer belt 110 has been improved to a great extent.

With reference to fig. 2 to 4, in one embodiment, the material distribution module 120 includes a first positioning mechanism 170, the first positioning mechanism 170 includes a second sensor 171, a shaping assembly 172 and two material blocking assemblies 173, the second sensor 171 can sense the first material 20 on the conveyor belt 110, the shaping assembly 172 and the material blocking assemblies 173 are connected to the second sensor 171, the two material blocking assemblies 173 are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 110 and can block the movement of the first material 20 on the conveyor belt 110, and the shaping assembly 172 shapes and positions the first material 20 in the width direction of the conveyor belt 110. Specifically, the first positioning mechanism 170 is disposed on the raw material channel 111, when the second sensor 171 senses that the first material 20 passes through, the two material blocking assemblies 173 act, one material blocking assembly 173a blocks the first material 20 from continuing to move, and the other material blocking assembly 173b blocks the material coming from the rear, so that only one first material 20 is located between the two material blocking assemblies 173. The shaping assembly 172 clamps the first material 20 from the width direction of the conveyor belt 110, so as to shape the first material 20 and simultaneously achieve the purpose of positioning the first material 20, so that the carrying mechanism 140 can accurately carry the first material 20, and the carrying mechanism 140 can accurately place the first material 20 on the temporary storage platform 130. Further, the second inductor 171 is an optical fiber. The shaping assembly 172 includes a fixed stop 172a and a movable stop 172b spaced apart from each other in the width direction of the conveyor 110, the fixed stop 172a is connected to a side of the temporary storage platform 130, and the movable stop 172b is capable of moving relative to the fixed stop 172a to approach or separate from the fixed stop 172 a. The moveable flap 172b cooperates with the fixed flap 172a to grip the first material 20 when the two are adjacent. Further, a stopper 172c is disposed on the stopping assembly 173a for stopping the first material 20 from moving further, and the stopper 172c and the fixed stopper 172a together form a reference for positioning the first material 20.

It should be noted that, in order to protect the first material 20, the first material 20 is placed in the tray, when the first material 20 is positioned, the tray of the first material 20 is positioned, and when the carrying mechanism 140 carries the first material 20, the first material 20 and the tray thereof are carried to the temporary storage platform 130 synchronously. At this time, after the manipulator 41 takes the first material 20 on the temporary storage platform 130 away, the carrying mechanism 140 may place the empty tray on the blanking platform 150, so that after the assembly is completed, the manipulator 41 may put the finished product back into the tray on the blanking platform 150. In addition, after the transporting mechanism 140 transports the first material 20 at the first positioning mechanism 170 to the temporary storage platform 130, the two material blocking assemblies 173 are lifted, so that the first material 20 continues to be transported and even flows to the next material dividing module 120 along the raw material passage 111.

Referring to fig. 2 to 6, in one embodiment, the material separating module 120 includes a material dropping mechanism 180, the material dropping mechanism 180 includes a first sensor (not shown) and a first driving member 182 connected to the first sensor, the first driving member 182 is connected to the material dropping platform 150 to drive the material dropping platform 150 to move to have a loading state and a material dropping state; the blanking platform 150 can carry the finished product in the carrying state, and the blanking platform 150 can drop the finished product onto the conveyor 110 in the blanking state. Specifically, the blanking platform 150 has a frame structure, and is composed of two separate bodies 152, and the first driving element 182 is connected to the two separate bodies 152 to drive the two separate bodies 152 to move close to or away from each other. It can be understood that when the two split bodies 152 approach and abut against each other, the blanking platform 150 is in a bearing state, and at this time, the blanking platform 150 can bear the finished product. When the two separated bodies 152 are far away from each other, the blanking platform 150 is in a blanking state, and at this time, as the two separated bodies 152 are gradually far away from each other, the blanking platform 150 is not enough to support the finished product, so that the finished product falls onto the conveyor belt 110 below the blanking platform 150 and is output by the conveyor belt 110. It should be noted that the first sensor is a correlation fiber to sense whether other products pass through the bottom of the blanking platform 150. When the first sensor senses that other finished products pass below the blanking platform 150, the first driving member 182 keeps the blanking platform 150 in a bearing state; when the first sensor senses that no other finished products pass through the lower portion of the blanking platform 150, the first driving member 182 drives the blanking platform 150 to be in a blanking state, so that the carried finished products fall down. Thus, the first sensor and the first driving member 182 are mutually matched, so that the condition that the stacked materials are generated due to the flowing of the products below the blanking platform 150 during blanking can be prevented.

Referring to fig. 2 to 5, in the present embodiment, the conveying mechanism 140 includes a conveying driving assembly 141 and a conveying assembly 142 connected to the conveying driving assembly 141, and the conveying driving assembly 141 can drive the conveying assembly 142 to translate in the width direction of the conveyor 110 (i.e., X direction), translate in the conveying direction of the conveyor 110 (i.e., Y direction), lift vertically toward the conveyor 110 (i.e., Z direction), and rotate on a plane parallel to the conveyor 110 (i.e., rotate around the Z axis). It will be appreciated that the approaching and lifting of the first material 20 to the raw meal channel 111 by the carrying driving assembly 141 can be achieved by the carrying assembly 142, and the first material 20 is carried from the raw meal channel 111 to the staging platform 130, and the empty pallet is moved to the blanking platform 150 after the robot 41 takes the first material 20 from the staging platform 130. In addition, through the rotation of the carrying assembly 142, the posture of the first material 20 can be adjusted, so as to meet the carrying posture requirement of the manipulators 41 at the two sides of the conveyor belt 110 for the first material 20. Specifically, the carrying assembly 142 adopts a vacuum adsorption mode by arranging a plurality of first suckers (not shown) which are uniformly distributed, so that the plurality of first suckers correspondingly adsorb a plurality of corresponding positions on the tray of the first material 20 in the container, thereby carrying the first material 20. It should be noted that the carrying driving assembly 141 can be assembled together with a motor and a rotating component such as a rotating shaft through a chain, a cylinder, a sliding rail, a screw slider and other linear moving components.

Referring to fig. 2, 7 and 8, in one embodiment, the first feed module 11 includes a positioning module 190, the positioning module 190 is capable of moving along the moving guide 51 in synchronization with the robot 41, the robot 41 is capable of moving the first material 20 from the conveyor 110 to the positioning module 190, and after the positioning module 190 positions the first material 20, the robot 41 moves the first material 20 to the assembly machine 31. Specifically, the positioning module 190 is mounted on the second feeding module 21 and can move along the moving guide 51 in synchronization with the robot 41 and the second feeding module 21. For the first material 20 carried by the manipulator 41 from the temporary storage platform 130, the manipulator 41 needs to be placed on the positioning module 190, and after the positioning module 190 is accurately positioned, the manipulator 41 carries the first material 20 onto the assembling machine 31, so as to ensure consistency of posture and position of the first material 20 carried onto the assembling machine 31, and ensure accurate assembly of the first material 20 and the second material 30 by the assembling machine 31.

Specifically, the positioning module 190 includes a second driving member 191, a supporting block 192 and two oppositely disposed lateral positioning blocks 193, the supporting block 192 is used for supporting the first material 20, and the second driving member 191 can drive the two lateral positioning blocks 193 to approach each other to clamp two opposite sides of the first material 20 together. It will be appreciated that when the robot 41 places the first material 20 on the support blocks 192, the support blocks 192 are used to support the first material 20, and then the second driving member 191 drives the two lateral positioning blocks 193 to approach each other to clamp the first material 20. Furthermore, a V-shaped groove is formed in the lateral positioning block 193, and an opening of the groove is large, so that the first material 20 is guided when contacting the first material 20, and finally the first material 20 is accurately clamped and positioned under the common cooperation of the two lateral positioning blocks 193. Further, POM materials are used for the positions of the lateral positioning block 193 and the supporting block 192, which are in contact with the first material 20, so as to avoid the surface of the first material 20 from being damaged and scratched due to the hard materials. Further, the positioning module 190 includes a fool-proof sensor (not shown), and the fool-proof sensor can identify a specific position on the first material 20 to ensure that the front and back surfaces, the upper and lower surfaces of the first material 20 cannot be reversed when being placed on the supporting block 192, that is, the supporting block 192 and the two lateral positioning blocks 193 are respectively in contact with a specific side of the first material 20, so as to achieve the purpose of fool-proof. In addition, the fool-proof sensor is specifically an optical fiber.

Referring to fig. 2, 7 and 9, in this embodiment, the robot 41 is a six-axis robot. In addition, the end of the manipulator 41 is provided with a gripper 410, the gripper is provided with a plurality of second suction cups 420 which are uniformly arranged, and the plurality of second suction cups 420 correspondingly adsorb a plurality of corresponding positions on the first material 20 at the same time in a vacuum adsorption mode, so that the first material 20 can be transported. Further, the second suction cup 420 is a non-mark suction cup so as not to leave a suction mark on the surface of the first material 20. Further, a plurality of second suction cups 420 are provided at opposite sides of the robot 41, respectively. In this way, when the plurality of second suction cups 420 on one side of the manipulator 41 jointly suck the first material 20 and convey the first material 20 to the assembling machine 31, the plurality of second suction cups 420 on the other side of the manipulator 41 can jointly suck the finished product assembled on the assembling machine 31, and after the finished product is taken off from the assembling platform, the manipulator 41 can place the carried first material 20 on the assembling platform of the assembling machine 31 by rotating, so that the time for the manipulator 41 to take and place the material back and forth can be reduced. Further, the hand grip 410 has a suction nozzle 430, and the suction nozzle 430 is used to suck the second material 30 from the second feed module 21.
