Further, each collecting and placing groove 30b has the capability of automatically unfolding for the plate 12b to be placed and automatically closing after the plate 12b is placed. Each of the collecting and discharging grooves 30b is opened and closed by moving in a horizontal direction.

Step S2: pick up the plate to the horizon type header tower.

Referring to fig. 3a to 3c sequentially, the plate 12b with the marked level is moved to the discharge end 11b of the conveying line 10b one by carrying the plate 12b by the conveying line 10b, and a robot arm 70b capable of automatically identifying the level of the plate 12b is used to pick up the plate 12b on the discharge end 11b (as shown in fig. 3 a), for example, the level of the plate 12b picked up by the robot arm 70b is currently a, and the robot arm 70b picks up the plate 12b in a negative pressure suction manner in practice. Then, the collecting and placing groove 30b for receiving the plate 12b of the level in the collecting and placing tower 20b is automatically unfolded according to the level of the plate 12b (as shown in fig. 3 b), that is, the collecting and placing groove 30b extends outward from the collecting and placing tower 20b, the robot arm 70b puts the picked-up plate 12b in the unfolded collecting and placing groove 30b in a top-down manner, and at the same time, the conveying line 10b carries the next plate 12b to be picked up to the discharging end 11 b. Then, when the board 12b is received in the collecting and placing groove 30b, the collecting and placing groove 30b is automatically closed (as shown in fig. 3 c), that is, the collecting and placing groove 30b is retracted into the collecting and placing tower 20b, the robot arm 70b moves to the discharging end 11b of the conveying line 10b, and the board 12b on the discharging end 11b of the conveying line 10b is picked up again.

On the other hand, please refer to fig. 4 and 5, which illustrate the automatic plate sorting and box collecting apparatus of the present invention, including a discharging end 11c, a box collecting tower 20c and a robot arm 70 c. Wherein:
