At this time, two adjacent sidewalls of the magazine 110 are engaged between the telescopic rod of the first driving member 1331 and the driving plate 1332, that is, the driving plate 1332 is parallel to one sidewall of the magazine 110, as shown in fig. 1.

Then, the second controller 135 of the loading mechanism 130 controls the operation of the driving mechanism 133 thereof again, specifically, the first driving member 1331 retracts in the negative direction of the X-axis direction to retract the driving plate 1332, the driving plate 1332 acts on the side wall of the magazine 110, so as to pull the magazine 110 to move along the guide rail 1321, when the driving plate 1332 retracts to the initial position, the magazine 110 is finally pushed into the loading cavity 131 from the feeding hole 131a, and the completed state is shown in fig. 3 and 7.

With continued reference to fig. 3 and 7, in the process that the full magazine 110 enters the loading chamber 131, if there is an empty magazine 110 in the loading chamber 131, the full magazine 110 directly pushes the empty magazine 110 to move to push it out from the discharge port 131b, and the empty magazine 110 is pushed out as shown in fig. 3 and 7, thereby completing the whole process of automatic reloading.

s03: the driving mechanism 133 of the feeding mechanism 130 is extended to move its end to the end of the preparation area 132;

as shown in fig. 1-3, in this step, the first driving member 1331 of the driving mechanism 133 extends along the X-axis direction to drive the driving plate 1332 to move to the end of the preparation area 132, and the driving plate 1332 extends along the Y-axis direction, i.e., the first driving member 1331 and the driving plate 1332 are arranged at a right angle.

S04: the material trolley 120 unloads the fully loaded magazine bin 110 in the preparation area 132, and at this time, the outer wall of the magazine bin 110 is clamped in the driving mechanism 133;

referring specifically to fig. 1, two adjacent sidewalls of the magazine 110 are engaged between the extension rod of the first driving member 1331 and the driving plate 1332, such that one sidewall of the magazine 110 is parallel to the driving plate 1332.

S05: the drive mechanism 133 is retracted to push the magazine 110 into the loading chamber 131.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, during the negative retraction of the first driving member 1331 in the X-axis direction, the driving plate 1332 is moved, the driving plate 1332 acts on the side wall of the magazine 110, thereby pulling the magazine 110 to move, and when the driving plate 1332 is retracted to the initial position, the magazine 110 is pushed into the loading chamber 131.

Referring to fig. 7, in a preferred embodiment of the automatic material changing method of the present invention, the step S05 may further include the following steps:

s06: the unloaded material cart 120 moves from the preparation area 132 to the discharge port 131b side of the loading mechanism 130, and the empty magazine 110 is transported back to the loading area.

Referring to fig. 1-3 and 7, in the automatic reloading method of the invention, if there is an empty magazine 110 in the loading chamber 131 during the step S05, the empty magazine 110 is pushed out of the loading chamber 131 by directly pushing the empty magazine 110 into the loading chamber 131.

Referring now to fig. 8, in a more preferred embodiment of the automatic material changing method of the present invention, the material trolley 120 is used to communicate with the feeding mechanism 130, so that the feeding mechanism 130 can send a signal that all the cloth 200 in the feeding cavity 131 is used to the material trolley 120 as the material changing signal.

In summary, since the automatic material changing system 100 of the present invention loads the material 200 through the magazine 110, the material 200 can be quickly filled and transported in a large batch, thereby improving the loading capacity and the material changing efficiency; secondly, the magazine bin 110 with the full-load cloth 200 is conveyed to the feeding mechanism 130 through the automatic movement of the material trolley 120, and then the driving mechanism 133 of the feeding mechanism 130 pushes the magazine bin 110 with the full load into the feeding cavity 131 to complete the automatic material changing, wherein if the magazine bin 110 with no load is in the feeding cavity 131, the magazine bin 110 with the full load directly pushes the magazine bin 110 with the no load to push the magazine bin 110 out, so that the redundant material changing operation is not needed, the material changing efficiency is further improved, and the overall production efficiency is further improved; in addition, no manual operation is needed in the whole process of material changing, so that the labor is reduced.

The automatic reloading system as recited in claim 1, wherein said driving mechanism comprises a first driving member fixed to an outside of said loading chamber and being extendable and retractable in said first direction, and a driving plate fixed to an end of said first driving member and protruding in a second direction crossing said first direction, said first driving member driving said driving plate to extend and retract so as to extend said driving plate to said preparation area or push said magazine of said preparation area into said loading chamber.

8. The automatic reloading system as recited in claim 1, wherein said loading mechanism further comprises an elevator mechanism mounted to a side wall of said loading chamber, said elevator mechanism for raising all of the material in said magazine in a layer-by-layer manner.

9. The automatic reloading system as claimed in claim 8, wherein said lifting mechanism comprises a second driving member, a third driving member and a supporting member, said second driving member is fixed to a side wall of said loading cavity and is capable of extending and retracting along a vertical direction, said third driving member is fixed to an end of said second driving member and is capable of extending and retracting along a horizontal direction, said supporting member is fixed to an end of said third driving member, said third driving member drives said supporting member to extend and retract so as to extend into or withdraw from said loading cavity, and said second driving member drives said third driving member and said supporting member to integrally lift layer by layer after said supporting member extends into said loading cavity and supports all the cloth.

10. The automatic refueling system as recited in claim 3 wherein the feed mechanism further includes a second controller electrically connected to the drive mechanism for controlling operation thereof, the second controller further communicatively connected to the first controller, the second controller further for signaling completion of the material processing within the magazine to the first controller.

11. The automatic refueling system as recited in claim 1 wherein said material cart further comprises a push handle disposed at a top portion of said cart body.

12. An automatic reloading method using an automatic reloading system according to any of claims 1 to 11, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:

(1) When the material trolley receives the material changing signal, the material trolley automatically moves to a loading area to load a full-load magazine bin;

(2) The material trolley carries the fully loaded magazine and moves to a feeding mechanism, and the material trolley stops when moving to the side part of the preparation area of the feeding mechanism;

(3) The driving mechanism of the feeding mechanism extends out to enable the end part of the feeding mechanism to move to the end part of the preparation area;

(4) The material trolley unloads the fully loaded magazine bin in the preparation area, and at the moment, the outer wall of the magazine bin is clamped in the driving mechanism;

(5) The drive mechanism retracts to push the magazine into the loading chamber.

13. The automatic reloading method as recited in claim 12, wherein in said step (5), when there is an empty magazine in said loading chamber, said empty magazine is pushed out of said discharge port by pushing said full magazine into said loading chamber.

14. The automatic reloading method as recited in claim 12, further comprising, after said step (5), the steps of:

(6) And the unloaded material trolley moves to one side of a discharge port of the feeding mechanism from the preparation area, and the unloaded magazine bin is conveyed to the loading area.

15. The automatic reloading method as recited in claim 12, wherein said loading mechanism sends a signal of completion of use of all the material inside said loading chamber to said material trolley as said reloading signal.
