According to another aspect of the disclosure, a safety protection control method of an automatic feeding system is provided. Fig. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a safety protection control method of an automatic loading system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and fig. 4 is a logic control diagram illustrating the safety protection control method of the automatic loading system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 3, the safety protection control method includes:

in step S10, the state of the loading unit is determined.

Specifically, referring to steps S100, S200, and S210 of fig. 4, the controller 1 determines the state of the feeder unit 2, and determines the movement of each component of the safety shield apparatus according to the determined state of the feeder unit 2. The state of the loading section unit 2 includes: the feeding part unit 2 is in a non-operating state, the feeding part unit 2 is in a left-side operating state, and the feeding part unit 2 is in a right-side operating state. More specifically, the inactive state indicates that the loading section unit 2 is stopped; the left working state indicates that the feeding part unit 2 works at the first material supply part 3, the middle conveying part 5 and the recovery part 7, namely works at the left half part of the safety protection device; the right operating state represents the operation of the loading unit 2 at the second material supply 4, the intermediate transfer 5 and the recovery unit 7, i.e. in the right half of the safety device.

In step S20, the components within the safety shield device are accessed based on the state of the feeder unit.

Specifically, step S20 includes the following three cases:

(1) first case

If it is judged that the loading section unit 2 is in the non-operating state, both the left door open-close button 14 and the right door open-close button 15 can be activated, i.e., both the left door open-close button 14 and the right door open-close button 15 are controlled to be in the openable state, so that the corresponding left door 12 and right door 13 can be opened. In this case, when the left and right doors 12 and 13 are opened, the left and right blocking members 18 and 19 are moved apart, and the left and right internal barriers 20 and 21 that can serve as physical barriers are raised. After the worker enters the interior of the safety shield apparatus, the left and right internal baffles 20 and 21 may be lowered by switches as needed (e.g., to service or maintain the loading section unit 2).

(2) Second case

If the loading part unit 2 is judged to be in the left working state, the left door 12 is controlled to be in the locking state, and the right door 13 is controlled to be in the openable state. Specifically, the control method further includes:

the input of the door opening and closing button is received (see step S300), and specifically, the controller 1 waits for the reception of the signal of the door opening and closing button.

It is determined which door opening and closing button is pressed (see step S310), and specifically, the controller 1 determines from which of the door opening and closing buttons the received signal comes.

If the left door opening/closing button 14 is pressed, an instruction to not open the left door 12 is output (see steps S320, S330), and the flow is ended; if the right door opening/closing button 15 is pressed, the right door 13 is opened (see step S340), and the process continues, specifically, even if the left door opening/closing button 14 is pressed, the left door 12 is not opened to ensure that the worker cannot enter the working area where the loading unit 2 is located, but the right door 13 is opened by pressing the right door opening/closing button 15, and the controller 1 locks the software of the loading unit 2 so that the loading unit 2 does not move to the right half of the safety protection device to pose a safety threat to the worker.

It is detected whether the right side stroke switch 17 is touched (see step S350), and specifically, the controller 1 waits for receiving an additional signal of the right side stroke switch 17.

If it is detected that the right side stroke switch 17 is touched, the right side blocking member 19 is removed and the right side internal barrier 21 is raised (see step S360), and specifically, after the controller 1 receives the additional signal of the right side stroke switch 17, the right side blocking member 19 is removed and the right side internal barrier 21 is raised, so that the safety factor of the safety device can be improved from the software program by the additional signal of the right side stroke switch 17 and the safety factor of the safety device can be improved physically by the raising of the right side internal barrier 21.

Whether the right door opening-closing button 15 is lifted is detected (see step S370), and specifically, the controller 1 determines whether the received signal disappears.

If it is detected that the right door opening/closing button 15 is not lifted, alarming after a preset time elapses (see step S380); if it is detected that the right door opening/closing button 15 is lifted, the right door 13 is closed, the right blocking member 19 is returned to its original position, and the right internal barrier 21 is dropped (see step S390), specifically, after the right door opening/closing button 15 is pressed for a certain time (for example, a time required for loading), an alarm is given through an alarm 29 provided on the safety guard to prompt the worker to close the right door 13, and after the worker leaves the inside of the safety guard and lifts the right door opening/closing button 15, the right door 13 is first closed, and then the right blocking member 19 is returned to its original position to one side of the right door 13. By this sequence, it is ensured that the right blocking member 19 does not touch the worker passing through the right door 13.

(3) Third case

And if the feeding part unit 2 is judged to be in the right side working state, controlling the right side door 13 to be in the locking state and controlling the left side door 12 to be in the openable state. Specifically, the control method further includes:

an input of the door opening and closing button is received (see step 400), and specifically, the controller 1 waits for receiving a signal of the door opening and closing button.

It is determined which door opening and closing button is pressed (see step S410), and specifically, the controller 1 determines from which of the door opening and closing buttons the received signal comes.

If the right door opening/closing button 15 is pressed, an instruction to not open the right door 13 is output (see steps S420, S430), and the flow is ended; if the left door opening/closing button 14 is pressed, the left door 12 is opened (see step S440), and the process continues, specifically, even if the right door opening/closing button 15 is pressed, the right door 13 is not opened to ensure that the worker cannot enter the working area where the loading unit 2 is located, but the left door 12 is opened by pressing the left door opening/closing button 14, and the controller 1 locks the software of the loading unit 2 so that the loading unit 2 does not move to the right half of the safety protection device to pose a safety threat to the worker.

It is detected whether the left side stroke switch 16 is touched (see step S450), and specifically, the controller 1 waits for receiving an additional signal of the left side stroke switch 16.

If it is detected that the left side travel switch 16 is touched, the left side blocking member 18 is removed and the left side internal barrier 20 is raised (see step S460), and specifically, after the controller 1 receives the additional signal of the left side travel switch 16, the left side blocking member 18 is removed and the left side internal barrier 20 is raised, so that the safety factor of the safety shield apparatus can be enhanced from the software program by the additional signal of the left side travel switch 16 and the safety factor of the safety shield apparatus can be physically enhanced by the raising of the left side internal barrier 20.

Whether the left door opening-closing button 14 is lifted is detected (see step S470), and specifically, the controller 1 determines whether the received signal disappears.

If it is detected that the left door opening/closing button 14 is not lifted, alarming after a preset time elapses (see step S480); if it is detected that the left door opening/closing button 14 is lifted, the left door 12 is closed, the left blocking member 18 is returned to its original position, and the left internal barrier 20 is dropped (see step S490), specifically, after the left door opening/closing button 14 is pressed for a certain time (e.g., a time required for loading), an alarm 29 provided on the safety guard alarms to prompt the worker to close the left door 12, and after the worker leaves the inside of the safety guard and lifts the left door opening/closing button 14, the left door 12 is closed first, and then the left blocking member 18 is returned to its original position to one side of the left door 12. By this sequence, it is ensured that the left side barrier 18 does not touch the worker passing through the left door 12.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, if it is determined that the feeding section unit is in the inactive state, the step S20 further includes: the door 26 provided at the rear side wall portion 11 at a position opposite to the recovery member 7 can be removed to access the recovery member 7.
