The assembly line 2 is used for continuously conveying the product to be solidified and transferring the cured product to other stations. Preferably, the assembly line 2 comprises two juxtaposed belts arranged side by side with gaps between the timing belts, and the product is placed in synchronization. With the belt moving forward, the gap between the timing belts passes through the jacking mechanism described below.

The frame 1 is disposed above the assembly line 2 as a main place for product transfer, including a vertical feed zone 11 and a discharge zone 12, and the feed zone 11 and the discharge zone 12 are preferably profiles on the frame 1 Two juxtaposed areas separated from the sheet, the feed area 11, the bottom of the discharge area 12, and the top are provided with openings for product entry and removal.

When the product moves to the lower side of the feeding area 11 with the pipeline, it can be driven by the bottom opening of the feeding area and stacked inside the cavity under the driving of the feeding module 4, with the continuous operation of the feeding module 4 The quantity of the product in the feeding area 11 is increasing. When the quantity of the product reaches a certain set value, the moving module 5 starts to transfer the product located at the top of the feeding area 11 into the discharging area 12, similarly, When the quantity of products in the discharge area 12 reaches a set value, the discharge module 6 continuously transfers the products at the bottom of the discharge area 12 one by one to the assembly line 2, thus realizing the product self-pipeline-feeding. Zone-discharge zone-line movement not only ensures that the product does not leave the line, but also gives it sufficient cure time.

In this embodiment, a discharge area 12 and two feed areas 11 are preferably provided. When both feed areas 11 are vacant, the product can be selected to enter any one of the feed areas 11, but when a feed area is selected When there is already a product in 11, the stack of the other feed zone 11 should be started after the feed zone 11 is stacked.

The drying device 3 is used for drying the products in the feeding area 11 and the discharging area 12 to achieve accelerated curing of the product. In the present embodiment, the drying device 3 includes a blower 31, a heating device (not shown) and a duct 32. The air duct 32 communicates with an air outlet of the air blower 31. The heating device can be used with a common heating wire, a heating tube, etc. The airflow blown by the air blowing device 31 is heated. The hot air enters the feed zone 11 and the discharge zone 12 from the air outlets on the side walls such that the feed zone 11 and the discharge zone 12 maintain a flowing hot gas stream. Preferably, the plurality of drying devices 3 are sequentially distributed along the height direction of the feeding region 11 and the discharging region 12 to help achieve uniform drying.

The first lifting mechanism is disposed below the pipeline 2, corresponding to the feeding region 11, and can be moved on the pipeline 2 by moving in the vertical direction. The product is introduced into the feed zone 11, and the product entering the feed zone 11 is blocked by the first one-way mechanism and retained in the feed zone 11, so that by repeated upward lifting, the product will be in the feed zone 11. Stacked upwards, the product that first enters the feed zone 11 is progressively topped toward the upper end of the feed zone 11.

Similarly, the discharge module 6 includes a second jacking mechanism and a second one-way mechanism. The second jacking mechanism is disposed below the pipeline 2, corresponding to the discharge area 12, and the second jacking mechanism can be opposite to the discharge area.

The first top plate 42 is placed directly below the feed area 11, and is driven by the cylinder 41 to be vertically oriented. Reciprocating motion. When the product is conveyed below the feed zone 11, the first top plate 41 projects from the gap between the timing belts 21 to push the product into the feed zone 11.

The second lifting mechanism includes a vertically disposed screw 61. The screw 61 is screwed to the screw seat 62. The screw seat 62 is fixedly connected to the second top plate 65 through the connecting plate 63 and the connecting rod 64. When the motor 66 is started, the second top plate 65 is reciprocated in the vertical direction. The precise movement of the second top plate 65 can be achieved by the cooperation of the screw rod 61 and the screw seat 62, thereby ensuring the consistency of the single moving distance.

The receiving plate 67 is aligned with the joint portion of the bottommost layer and the penultimate layer product. At this time, the receiving plate 67 is relatively moved, inserted into the gap between the two layers of products, and finally the second jacking mechanism is lowered again, and the bottom layer is lowered. The product is placed on the assembly line, and the product of the penultimate layer and above is continuously restricted by the receiving plate 67 in the discharge area, and the above process is repeated to continuously transfer the product in the discharge area to the assembly line.

Referring to Figure 7, a perspective view of the transfer module of the present invention is shown. As shown, the transfer module includes a vertical rail 51, a horizontal rail (not shown), a first slider 52, a second slider 53, a jaw 54 and a jaw cylinder 55, and the vertical rail 51 is disposed on the machine. On the frame 1, the first sliding seat 52 is slidable relative to the vertical sliding direction under the driving of the motor-synchronous belt system, the horizontal rail is disposed on the first sliding seat 52, and the second sliding seat 53 is in the motor-screw-wire The rod seat is slidable in the horizontal direction with respect to the horizontal rail, and the jaw 54 is fixed to the second slider 53 to perform the clamping operation under the driving of the jaw cylinder 55. When a transfer operation is required, the jaws 54 first move in the horizontal direction to the top of the feed area, grip the product on the top layer, then move in the opposite direction to the top of the discharge area, and then move the product in the vertical direction. Placed in the discharge area.
