The ice sheet poured out of the turnover device 3 falls on the feed conveyor assembly 49. The distance between the opening of the ice receiving container 3130 of the turn-over device 3 and the conveying surface of the feed conveyor assembly 49 is greater than the thickness of a single ice sheet and less than the thickness of two stacked ice sheets, so that the ice sheets output by the feed conveyor assembly 49 are as far as possible free from stacking.
The ramp conveyor assembly 45 is disposed inclined upwardly with respect to the horizontal for separating the stacked ice sheets into individual pieces. When a plurality of ice sheets are stacked, the stacked ice sheets are separated into individual pieces due to gravity because the ramp conveyor assembly 45 is disposed obliquely.
The pitch conveyor assembly 46 includes a plurality of pitch conveyor lines 461 with different speeds, and the speeds of the plurality of pitch conveyor lines 461 gradually increase along the conveying direction to increase the distance between two adjacent ice sheets.

It should be noted that "long side" and "short side" in the present application document mean that the ice sheet is substantially in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, the width of the rectangular parallelepiped is the short side of the ice sheet, and the length of the rectangular parallelepiped is the long side of the ice sheet.
The blocking rod 42 is adjacent to the tail of the first conveying assembly 41 in the vertical direction, and the vertical distance from the blocking rod 42 to the first guide strip 412 is smaller than the long edge of the ice sheet and larger than the short edge of the ice sheet, so that when the ice sheet passes through the blocking rod 42, if the short edge of the ice sheet faces the conveying direction, the ice sheet cannot collide with the blocking rod 42, and the turning cannot occur. If the long side of the ice sheet faces the conveying direction, since the long side is greater than the distance from the stopper 42 to the first guide bar 412, the ice sheet collides with the stopper 42, so that the ice sheet is 90-degree turned, and the short side of the ice sheet faces the conveying direction.
Through the design, for the ice boards in the shape of a cuboid, through the combined action of the first conveying assembly 41 and the blocking rod 42, the ice boards can be conveyed in a mode that the short sides face the conveying direction, and the subsequent stacking of a plurality of rows of ice boards is facilitated.

The second conveying assembly 43 further includes a third guide bar 433, which is disposed on the second conveying line body 431 and opposite to the second guide bar 432. The distance between the second guide bar 432 and the third guide bar 433 becomes gradually smaller along the second direction D2, and the minimum distance between the second guide bar 432 and the third guide bar 433 is slightly greater than or substantially equal to the short side of the ice sheet. By such a design, the ice sheet can be prevented from being diverted while being conveyed on the second conveyor assembly 43.

Specifically, when the ice sheet is damaged after being used, the image collector 471 sends a damage signal to the controller, and the controller controls the first splitter 472 to remove the damaged ice sheet.
When different types (e.g., different shapes and sizes) of ice sheets are conveyed on the conveying line, the control system controls the second splitter 473 to sort out the ice sheets with different specifications. For example, the second shunt 473 can shunt the cuboid-shaped and the cuboid-shaped ice boards to different conveying lines to stack the ice boards in different shapes. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the second flow splitter 473 may split the ice sheet of a different shape to another conveying line arranged side by side with the first conveying assembly 41 and the second conveying assembly 43.
