As shown in fig. 1, the present invention provides a storing apparatus, which includes a bin 100 and an automatic feeding device 200 disposed beside the bin 100.

The invention also provides a feeding method, a method for feeding by using the automatic feeding device 200 adopts a multi-channel pushing structure to realize multi-channel bin supplementing, and reduces the times of taking back and feeding by the feeding device when multiple products are supplemented simultaneously, and the method comprises the following steps:

step 100, taking materials: putting the materials to be subjected to bin supplement into a material pushing mechanism 4;

step 200, alignment: the first moving module 2 and the second moving module 3 are started in sequence, and the material pushing mechanism 4 is moved to a position needing material supplement; specifically, the channel opening of the pushing mechanism 4 is moved to the corresponding material supplementing position through the movement of the X-axis module and the Z-axis linear module, and the material is supplemented to the stock bin.

Step 300, discharging: the linkage module 44 in the conveying channel corresponding to the material supplementing position is in contact connection with the driving module 43, the driving module 43 drives the material pushing piece 42 in the conveying channel to move, after the material pushing piece 42 pushes the material out, the front baffle 423 rotates to be in a vertical state, then the driving module 43 drives the material pushing piece 42 to move to the original position, the material is pushed into the material supplementing position by the front baffle 423 to be discharged, in the embodiment, after the material is taken by the material pushing mechanism, the corresponding product is placed at the corresponding position on the stock bin, the material taking of 4 products can be completed at one time during material taking, and the materials are sequentially discharged during material taking.

The discharging process in the step 300 is specifically as follows: as shown in fig. 8-10, when the pushing mechanism 4 is ready to discharge, the linkage cylinder 441 corresponding to the channel in the discharging box 41, that is, the three-axis cylinder, is actuated, the linkage cylinders 441 in the other channels to be discharged are not actuated, the three-axis cylinder is actuated to drive the linkage bolt 442, so that the head of the linkage bolt 442 is engaged with the bolt hole in the transmission transverse plate 434, and at this time, the front blocking plate 423 is in a vertical state; when the material pushing mechanism 4 discharges materials, the rotary cylinder 424 acts first to move the front baffle 423 to a horizontal state, then the driving motor 431 acts to drive the synchronous belt and the synchronous belt accessory to move forward, and the movable plate 421 also moves forward because the transmission transverse plate 434 is connected with the synchronous belt accessory and the linkage bolt 442 and the transmission transverse plate 434 are in a matching state, so that the products placed on the movable plate 421 are conveyed into the bin, and the products are positioned in the corresponding material channel of the bin; and finally, the rotating cylinder 424 acts to restore the front baffle 423 to a vertical state, and the front baffle and the rear baffle are staggered, so that when the driving motor 431 moves to return the movable plate 421 to the original position, the product can be separated from the movable plate 421 under the action of the front baffle 423 and slide into a storage bin to finish material supplement.

When one of the channels is working, the other channels are in a state of being separated from the transmission cross plate 434 due to the suction force between the magnetic attraction 4121 and the suction plate 4122, and the movable plate 421 is always in a stationary state.

Correspondingly, the pushing mechanism comprises 4 channels, when one channel works, the front baffle 423 of the other channels is in a vertical state, so that products are prevented from falling from the channel in the movement process of the feeding device, and the three-axis cylinder of the channel which does not work is also in an initial position, namely the linkage bolt is separated from the transmission transverse plate, so that misoperation is avoided.
