Abstract

A material carrying mechanism includes a base, a tray and an adjustment assembly. The tray is movably mounted on the base, and the adjustment assembly is mounted on the base. The adjustment assembly includes a first ejection member and a first elastic restoring member. The first ejection member includes a first telescopic portion abutting against the tray. The first telescopic portion can perform a telescopic movement in a first direction to push the tray to move in the first direction. The first elastic restoring member is connected between the base and the tray, so as to provide to the tray a restoring force directed to the first ejection member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A material carrying mechanism, comprising:
a base;
a tray configured to support a material, the tray being movably mounted on the base; and
an adjustment assembly mounted on the base, the adjustment assembly comprising a first ejection member and a first elastic restoring member, wherein the first ejection member comprises a first telescopic portion abutting against the tray, the first telescopic portion is capable of performing a telescopic movement in a first direction to push the tray to move in the first direction, and the first elastic restoring member is connected between the base and the tray, so as to provide to the tray a restoring force directed to the first ejection member.

2. The material carrying mechanism according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a first fastener;
wherein the tray is provided with a threaded hole, and the first fastener is threadedly connected in the threaded hole and passes through the threaded hole so as to abut against the base.

3. The material carrying mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the first ejection member further comprises a first threaded sleeve, an outer periphery of the first telescopic portion has a first external thread, and the first threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the first external thread of the first telescopic portion.

4. The material carrying mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the first ejection member further comprises a first pressure cylinder, the first telescopic portion is a pneumatic rod, and the first telescopic portion is slidably connected in the first pressure cylinder.

5. The material carrying mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the first ejection member is provided with a first scale portion configured to indicate an extended length of the first telescopic portion.

6. The material carrying mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the adjustment assembly further comprises a first guide rod arranged between the base and the tray, the first guide rod extends in the first direction, the first elastic restoring member is a spring, and the first elastic restoring member is sleeved on the first guide rod.

7. The material carrying mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the adjustment assembly further comprises a second ejection member and a second elastic restoring member, wherein the second ejection member comprises a second telescopic portion abutting against the tray, the second telescopic portion is capable of performing a telescopic movement in a second direction to push the tray to move in the second direction, and the second elastic restoring member is connected between the base and the tray, so as to provide to the tray a restoring force directed to the second ejection member, the second direction being not parallel to the first direction.

8. The material carrying mechanism according to claim 7 , wherein the second ejection member further comprises a second threaded sleeve, an outer periphery of the second telescopic portion has a second external thread, and the second threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the second external thread of the second telescopic portion.

9. The material carrying mechanism according to claim 7 , wherein the second ejection member further comprises a second pressure cylinder, the second telescopic portion is a pneumatic rod, and the second telescopic portion is slidably connected in the second pressure cylinder.

10. The material carrying mechanism according to claim 7 , wherein the second ejection member is provided with a second scale portion configured to indicate an extended length of the second telescopic portion.

11. The material carrying mechanism according to claim 7 , wherein the adjustment assembly further comprises a second guide rod arranged between the base and the tray, the second guide rod extends in the second direction, the second elastic restoring member is a spring, and the second elastic restoring member is sleeved on the second guide rod.

12. The material carrying mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein:
the base has a first surface and a second surface arranged opposite to each other, and the base is provided with a first through hole penetrating the first surface and the second surface;
the tray comprises a support portion, an adjustment portion and a connecting portion, wherein the support portion is arranged on the first surface and is configured to support the material, the adjustment portion is arranged on the second surface, the connecting portion passes through the first through hole and is connected between the support portion and the adjustment portion, and the connecting portion is movable in the first direction in the first through hole; and
the adjustment assembly is mounted on the second surface, and the first telescopic portion abuts against the adjustment portion.

13. The material carrying mechanism according to claim 12 , wherein:
the support portion comprises a first plate body and a second plate body, wherein the first plate body is connected to the connecting portion, the second plate body is configured to support the material, and the second plate body is detachably connected to the first plate body;
optionally the second plate body has a mounting cavity in which the first plate body is embedded; and/or

the support portion is detachably connected to the connecting portion.

14. The material carrying mechanism according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a separation assembly, the separation assembly comprising a mounting seat mounted on the base and a separation member mounted on the mounting seat, the separation member being in contact with an edge of the material.

15. The material carrying mechanism according to claim 14 , wherein the base is provided with a plurality of positioning holes distributed in sequence from an edge of the tray in a direction away from the tray, and the mounting seat is connected to one or more of the positioning holes.

16. The material carrying mechanism according to claim 15 , wherein:
the base is provided with a guide portion having an extending direction parallel to a distribution direction of the plurality of positioning holes, and the mounting seat is slidably mounted to the guide portion; and/or
