H. the second proximity switch feeds back to the PLC through a signal, a continuous conveying command of the main conveying mechanism 2 is executed, and after the material is transited to the secondary conveying mechanism 3 through the main conveying mechanism 2 to trigger the third photoelectric sensor, the secondary conveying mechanism 3 stops;
I. all mechanisms carry out position and posture adjustment according to real-time feedback of the vision camera and the laser radar and by combining control commands, after the terminal posture of the secondary conveying mechanism 3 reaches the correct position, the secondary conveying mechanism 3 continues conveying materials until a fourth photoelectric sensor is excited, one-time palletizing and loading is completed, and circulation is continued until loading and palletizing are completed.

E. the main conveying translation mechanism (6) and the main conveying swing mechanism (7) adjust and retract to an initial position according to the real-time scene scanned by the current vision camera and the laser radar, reset the main conveying mechanism (2) and trigger an in-place sensing signal of the first proximity switch;
F. the first proximity switch signal is fed back to the PLC, and a command is executed to enable the feeding conveying mechanism (1) to continue conveying until the feeding conveying mechanism is conveyed to the main conveying mechanism (2) and the second photoelectric sensor is triggered;
G. after the second photoelectric sensor is excited, the main conveying mechanism (2) stops; the secondary conveying swinging mechanism (8) and the secondary conveying rotating mechanism (9) move, the secondary conveying mechanism (3) is leveled to an initial position, and an in-place sensing signal of the second proximity switch is triggered;
H. the second proximity switch feeds back to the PLC through a signal, a continuous conveying command of the main conveying mechanism (2) is executed, and after the material is transited to the secondary conveying mechanism (3) through the main conveying mechanism (2) to trigger the third photoelectric sensor, the secondary conveying mechanism (3) stops;
I. all mechanisms carry out position posture adjustment according to real-time feedback of the vision camera and the laser radar and by combining control commands, after the terminal posture of the secondary conveying mechanism (3) reaches the correct position, the secondary conveying mechanism (3) continues to convey materials until a fourth photoelectric sensor is excited, one-time palletizing, loading and circulating are completed until loading and palletizing are completed.
7. The control method of a full-automatic cargo loader according to claim 6, wherein the loading sequence of the cargo loader for loading materials is from bottom to top, from middle to right and from middle to left, and the cargo loader is loaded from the inside of the cargo loader gradually to the outside; after the material is loaded in one layer, a traveling power mechanism (4) of the loading machine drives the material to retreat, and then loading is started.
8. The control method of the full-automatic cargo loader according to claim 6, wherein the main conveying translation mechanism (6) is driven by a hydraulic cylinder to integrally translate all conveying surfaces on the main conveying translation mechanism; when the material is conveyed to the position of the feeding conveying mechanism (1), the main conveying translation mechanism (6) retracts the main conveying mechanism (2) to the initial position; when the loading and stacking are carried out through end conveying, the main conveying translation mechanism (6) stretches out the main conveying mechanism (2).
9. The control method of the full-automatic cargo loader according to claim 6, wherein the main rotating mechanism (5) and the secondary conveying rotating mechanism (9) have the same rotating angle and opposite rotating directions, and the belt conveying direction of the tail end secondary conveying mechanism (3) is parallel to the left surface and the right surface of the truck box body.
