[0032] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Example:

[0034] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a stacking device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present invention applied to a vehicle loader 100.

[0035] An embodiment of the present invention provides a stacking device 10 that can receive goods while stacking them, and can continuously receive and stack goods, thereby achieving high stacking efficiency. The stacking device 10 can be used in a loader 100 and a cargo stacking system, and can also be used independently.

[0036] Among them, taking the stacking device 10 applied to the loader 100 as an example, the loader 100 includes the stacking device 10, and the loader 100 stacks the goods to the designated location through the stacking device 10. Of course, the loader 100 can also include a walking device 20, a loading frame 30 and a lifting device 40 connected in sequence. The walking device 20 can drive the loading frame 30 to move on the ground and the ground of the container and the carriage, and the lifting device 40 is connected to the stacking device 10, and is used to drive the stacking bracket 11 to rise and fall. The stacking device 10 is driven by the walking device 20 and the lifting device 40 to move in three-dimensional space, so that the position of the stacking device 10 is close to the designated location, so that the stacking device 10 can stack the goods to the designated location.

[0037] Since the loader 100 adopts the stacking device 10 provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the loader 100 can also receive goods while stacking goods, and can stack and receive goods continuously, and it also has the characteristic of high stacking efficiency.

[0038] The following will specifically introduce the structure, working principle and beneficial effects of the stacking device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the stacking device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the structure of the stacking mechanism 13 of the stacking device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 , the direction indicated by arrow A is the first direction A, the direction indicated by arrow B is the second direction B, the direction indicated by arrow C is the third direction C, and the direction indicated by arrow D is the fourth direction D.

[0040] The stacking device 10 includes a stacking bracket 11, a conveying mechanism 12, a stacking mechanism 13 and a blocking mechanism 15. The stacking bracket 11 is used to be connected to the lifting device 40 of the loader 100 so as to be raised and lowered under the drive of the lifting device 40. The conveying mechanism 12 is connected to the stacking bracket 11 and is used to receive goods delivered from the outside, such as a production conveyor line, and then deliver the goods to the stacking mechanism 13.

[0041] The stacking mechanism 13 includes multiple stacking platforms 131 and multiple stacking driving members 132 connected to the stacking bracket 11, and the multiple stacking driving members 132 are connected one by one to the multiple stacking platforms 131. The multiple stacking driving members 132 can independently drive the corresponding stacking platforms 131 to move so that the stacking platforms 131 are connected to the end of the conveying mechanism 12, so that the stacking platforms 131 receive the goods conveyed by the conveying mechanism 12, or drive the corresponding stacking platforms 131 to move to above the designated position 900 or retreat above the designated position 900. In other words, while one stacking driving member 132 drives the corresponding stacking platform 131 to connect with the end of the conveying mechanism 12 and enables the stacking platform 131 to receive the goods conveyed by the conveying mechanism 12, another stacking driving member 132 can drive the corresponding stacking platform 131 to move to above the designated position 900 or retreat above the designated position 900. The blocking mechanism 15 can be movably connected to the stacking bracket 11, and the position of the blocking mechanism 15 can be close to the stacking platform 131, or away from the stacking platform 131. When the stacking platform 131 retreats from above the designated position 900, the blocking mechanism 15 can block the goods from moving with the stacking platform 131 when it is close to the stacking platform 131, so that the goods fall to the designated position 900. In other words, when the stacking platform 131 retreats from above the designated position 900 under the drive of the corresponding stacking driving member 132, the blocking mechanism 15 can be close to the stacking platform 131 to block the goods above the stacking platform 131, so that the above-mentioned goods can separate from the stacking platform 131 and fall to the designated position 900 under the action of gravity, thereby completing the action of stacking the goods to the designated position 900.

[0042] In this way, by setting up multiple stacking drive members 132 and stacking platforms 131, when some stacking platforms 131 are connected to the end of the conveying mechanism 12 and receive the goods conveyed by the conveying mechanism 12, the other parts of the stacking platforms 131 are driven by the corresponding stacking drive members 132 to move to above the designated position 900 and then retreat from above the designated position 900 to cooperate with the blocking mechanism 15 to complete the action of stacking the goods to the designated position 900, so as to realize the action of receiving goods and stacking goods at the same time; and, multiple stacking platforms 131, driven by the corresponding stacking drive members 132, alternately perform the action of receiving goods and alternately perform the action of stacking goods, so as to achieve the effect of continuously receiving goods and continuously stacking goods, thereby further improving the stacking efficiency of the stacking device 10.

[0043] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, there are two stacking drive members 132 and two stacking platforms 131. In other embodiments, the number thereof may be other, such as three or four. In the present embodiment, when the stacking mechanism 13 and the blocking mechanism 15 are working, the stacking drive member 132 drives the corresponding stacking platform 131 to connect with the end of the conveying mechanism 12, so that the stacking platform 131 receives the goods delivered by the conveying mechanism 12, thereby completing the work of receiving the goods; the stacking drive member 132 then drives the corresponding stacking platform 131 to move above the designated position 900, and then drives the corresponding stacking platform 131 to retreat above the designated position 900. At this time, the blocking mechanism 15 approaches the stacking platform 131, and the stacking platform 131 passes under the blocking mechanism 15. The goods on the stacking platform 131 are separated from the stacking platform 131 under the blocking action of the blocking mechanism 15 and fall to the designated position 900, thereby completing the work of stacking the goods to the designated position 900.

[0044] When the stacking drive 132 drives the corresponding stacking platform 131 to be not connected with the conveying mechanism 12, that is, when the work of stacking the goods to the designated position 900 is being carried out, the other stacking drive 132 drives the corresponding stacking platform 131 to be connected with the end of the conveying mechanism 12 to complete the work of receiving the goods. When the stacking drive 132 drives the corresponding stacking platform 131 to be connected with the conveying mechanism 12, that is, when the action of receiving the goods is being carried out, the other stacking drive 132 drives the corresponding stacking platform 131 to cooperate with the blocking mechanism 15 to stack the goods to the designated position 900. In this way, the effect of alternately receiving the goods and alternately stacking the goods is achieved, thereby improving the efficiency of the stacking device 10 in stacking the goods.

[0045] Please continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the stacking drive member 132 is a first stacking drive unit 1321 and a second stacking drive unit 1322 that are interconnected and perpendicular to each other. The first stacking drive unit 1321 is connected to the corresponding stacking platform 131, and the second stacking drive unit 1322 is connected to the stacking bracket 11. At the end of the conveying mechanism 12, there is a material receiving area 111. The first stacking drive unit 1321 can drive the corresponding stacking platform 131 to move along the first direction A or the second direction B opposite to the first direction A. The second stacking drive unit 1322 can drive the corresponding stacking platform 131 to move along the third direction C or the fourth direction D opposite to and perpendicular to the first direction A, so that the corresponding stacking platform 131 extends out of the material receiving area 111 and is located above the designated position 900, or the corresponding stacking platform 131 retracts the material receiving area 111 and connects to the conveying mechanism 12, wherein the first direction A is the direction in which the conveying mechanism 12 transports goods.

[0046] In other words, the working process of the stacking drive member 132 can be as follows: its second stacking drive unit 1322 drives the corresponding stacking platform 131 to move along the third direction C or the fourth direction D in the material receiving area 111, and makes the corresponding stacking platform 131 connect to the end of the conveying mechanism 12 to receive the goods; the second stacking drive unit 1322 then drives the corresponding stacking platform 131 to move along the third direction C or the fourth direction D, so that the stacking platform 131 is aligned above the designated position 900; the first stacking drive unit 1321 of the stacking drive member 132 then drives the corresponding second stacking drive unit 1322 to move along the first direction A, so as to drive the corresponding stacking platform 131 to extend out of the material receiving area 111 along the first direction A, so that the corresponding stacking platform 131 is located above the designated position 900; then, the first stacking drive unit 1321 drives the stacking platform 131 to retreat from above the designated position 900 along the second direction B, so as to cooperate with the blocking mechanism 15 to complete the work of stacking the goods above the designated position 900. Of course, the first stacking drive unit 1321 can be used to drive the stacking platform 131 to extend out of the material receiving area 111, and then the second stacking drive unit 1322 can be used to drive the corresponding stacking platform 131 to move along the third direction C or the fourth direction D in the material receiving area 111, so that the corresponding stacking platform 131 is located above the designated position 900.

[0047] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first stacking drive unit 1321 is a gear rack mechanism with a drive motor, and the second stacking drive unit 1322 is a synchronous belt transmission mechanism with a drive motor. The first stacking drive unit 1321 is connected to the synchronous belt of the second stacking drive unit 1322. In other embodiments, the stacking drive unit 132 may also be another type of drive mechanism, such as a robotic arm. In addition, the above-mentioned designated position 900 refers to the area outside the end of the stacking mechanism 13 of the stacking bracket 11, that is, Figure 2 The dotted area in the lower right corner.

[0048] Furthermore, the range of the material receiving area 111 is the sum of the movement ranges of the multiple stacking platforms 131 in the third direction C or the fourth direction D, and the width of the material receiving area 111 in the third direction C is greater than the width of the stacking rack 11 in the third direction C. In other words, the movement ranges of the multiple stacking platforms 131 along the straight line in the third direction C are greater than the width of the stacking rack 11 in the third direction C.

[0049] In this way, by adjusting the range of movement of the corresponding stacking platform 131 on the straight line of the third direction C driven by the second stacking drive unit 1322, the actual movement width of the stacking mechanism 13 can be changed to adapt to the width of different carriages or containers, so that the stacking device 10 can be compatible with carriages of different widths.

[0050] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the structure of the blocking mechanism 15 of the stacking device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0051] The two opposite sides of the receiving area 111 are a receiving side 112 and a discharge side 113 , and the receiving side 112 is located at the end of the conveying mechanism 12 , and the stacking platform 131 extends through the discharge side 113 and is retracted into the receiving area 111 ;

[0052] The blocking mechanism 15 may include a first blocking driving member 151 and a blocking member 154 that are interconnected, wherein the first blocking driving member 151 is connected to the stacking bracket 11, and the first blocking driving member 151 can drive the blocking member 154 to move so that the blocking member 154 is close to or away from the unloading side 113; and when the stacking platform 131 retracts the feed area 111, the blocking mechanism 15 can block the goods on the stacking platform 131 when it is close to the unloading side 113, and the stacking platform 131 is retracted to the feed area 111 from below the blocking member 154. In other words, the first blocking driving member 151 can drive the blocking member 154 to move. When the stacking platform 131 extends from the unloading side 113 to the receiving area 111, the blocking member 154 moves away from the unloading side 113 to allow the stacking platform 131 to extend from the receiving area 111. When the stacking platform 131 retreats from the designated position 900 from the unloading side 113, the blocking member 154 is driven by the first blocking driving member 151 to approach the unloading side 113 to block the goods on the stacking platform 131 from reaching the designated position 900 and allow the stacking platform 131 to pass under the blocking member 154.

[0053] Furthermore, the blocking mechanism 15 may also include a second blocking driver 152. The first blocking driver 151 is connected to the stacking bracket 11 via the second blocking driver 152, and the second blocking driver 152 is capable of driving the blocking member 154 to move in the first direction A or the second direction B. In this manner, while blocking the goods on the stacking platform 131 to the designated position 900, the blocking member 154 may also move in the first direction A or the second direction B. The second blocking driver 152 adjusts the position of the blocking member 154 in the first direction A, thereby appropriately adjusting the position of the goods in the first direction A and further improving the stacking effect. For example, when the goods are bagged, they often have a certain degree of fluidity. The blocking member 154, which is adjustable in the first direction A, can appropriately adjust the falling position of the goods in the first direction A during the stacking process, allowing the goods to be more accurately stacked in the designated position 900, thereby improving the stacking accuracy, stability, and space utilization of the stacking device 10.

[0054] Furthermore, the blocking mechanism 15 may further include a third blocking driver 153. The first blocking driver 151 is connected to the stacking bracket 11 via the third blocking driver 153, and the third blocking driver 153 is capable of driving the blocking member 154 to move along the third direction C or the fourth direction D. Thus, when the stacking platform 131 carrying goods moves along the third direction C or the fourth direction D in the material receiving area 111, the third blocking driver 153 is capable of driving the blocking member 154 to move along the third direction C or the fourth direction D, thereby keeping the blocking member 154 aligned with the end of the stacking platform 131 away from the discharge side 113, thereby effectively blocking the goods on the stacking platform 131. Moreover, in this embodiment, the blocking member 154 extends along the straight line of the third direction C, and the length range covered by the blocking member 154 when moving along the third direction C or the fourth direction D is greater than the width of the stacking bracket 11 in the third direction C. That is to say, the blocking member 154 can partially extend from the stacking bracket 11 along the third direction C or the fourth direction D to adapt to the width of different carriages, so that the stacking device 10 is compatible with carriages of different widths, further improving the compatibility of the stacking device 10.

[0055] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first blocking drive member 151, the second blocking drive member 152 and the third blocking drive member 153 are connected in sequence, the third blocking drive member 153 is connected to the stacking bracket 11, and the first blocking drive member 151 and the second blocking drive member 152 are both gear rack mechanisms with drive motors, and the third blocking drive member 153 is a belt transmission mechanism with a drive motor. In other embodiments, the first blocking drive member 151, the second blocking drive member 152 and the third blocking drive member 153 can also be other driving structures. For example, the first blocking drive member 151 can also be a reduction motor, which drives the blocking member 154 to rotate so that the blocking member 154 is located close to the unloading side 113 or away from the unloading side 113.

[0056] In addition, in other embodiments, the second blocking drive member 152 and the third blocking drive member 153 may also be excluded. In this case, the length of the blocking member 154 may be approximately the same as the width of the material receiving area 111 in the third direction C, so as to ensure that when the stacking platform 131 retreats from above the designated position 900 at any position in the third direction C, the blocking member 154 can block the goods so that the goods fall to the designated position 900.

[0057] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the structure of the conveying mechanism 12 of the stacking device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0058] The conveying mechanism 12 may include a transmission mechanism 121, a pushing member 122 and a pushing driving member 123. The transmission mechanism 121 and the pushing driving member 123 are both connected to the stacking bracket 11. The receiving side 112 is located at the end of the transmission mechanism 121. The pushing member 122 is connected to the pushing driving member 123. The transmission mechanism 121 is used to receive goods, and the pushing driving member 123 can drive the pushing member 122 to move along the first direction A to push the goods to the receiving area 111.

[0059] In this way, the conveying mechanism 121 conveys the goods to its end, and then the pushing drive 123 drives the pushing member 122 to push the goods to the top of the stacking platform 131 of the receiving area 111, so that the goods enter the stacking platform 131 in sequence, avoiding the stacking of goods and further improving the stacking effect of the stacking device 10. In addition, multiple goods can be pushed to the stacking platform 131 multiple times by the pushing member 122, so that after accumulating and combining multiple goods, the stacking platform 131 can perform the goods stacking operation under the drive of the corresponding stacking drive 132, so as to further improve the loading and stacking efficiency.

[0060] It should be noted that the push drive 123 can extend above the receiving area 111, so that the push member 122 can be driven by the push drive 123 to move above the end of the stacking platform 131 away from the conveying mechanism 121, thereby pushing the goods to the end of the stacking platform 131 away from the conveying mechanism 121. In this way, the goods are closer to the end of the stacking platform 131 away from the conveying mechanism 121, so that the stacking platform 131 can reach above the designated position 900 by moving a shorter distance along the first direction A, thereby improving the stacking efficiency of the stacking device 10. The longer pushing distance allows the push drive 123 to drive the push member 122 to push goods of different sizes or quantities an appropriate distance, ensuring that the edge of the goods is close to the edge of the stacking platform 131, thereby improving the adaptability of the stacking device 10. In addition, in this embodiment, the push drive 123 is a combination of a motor and a synchronous belt, and the push member 122 is connected to the synchronous belt to drive the push member 122. In other embodiments, the pushing driving member 123 may also be other forms of driving structures.

[0061] Furthermore, the top of the pushing member 122 is rotatably suspended on the stacking bracket 11, and the bottom end of the pushing member 122 is used to push the goods, and the conveying mechanism 12 may also include a pushing limit member 124, which is installed on the stacking bracket 11 and can abut against the pushing member 122, thereby limiting the limit position of the bottom end of the pushing member 122 to rotate along the second direction B. In this way, when the bottom end of the pushing member 122 pushes the goods, due to the abutment of the pushing limit member 124, the bottom end of the pushing member 122 cannot continue to move at the limit position. By rotating in the second direction B, the bottom end of the pushing member 122 abuts against the goods, thereby pushing the goods in the first direction A. When the pushing driving member 123 drives the pushing member 122 to move in the second direction B, the pushing limiting member 124 does not restrict the rotation of the pushing member 122 in the first direction A. Even if there are goods under the pushing member 122, the pushing driving member 123 can still drive the pushing member 122 to return to the initial position to continue pushing the goods to the stacking platform 131. The pushing member 122 does not hinder the transportation of the goods. The structure is simple and the cost is low.

[0062] It should be noted that the pushing member 122 can also be connected to the pushing drive member 123 through a lifting drive structure or a rotating drive structure, so that the pushing member 122 can be driven away from the conveying mechanism 121 through the lifting drive structure or the rotating drive structure, so that it can return to the initial position with the pushing drive member 123 without hindering the conveying state of the goods, so as to realize the pushing of the goods without the pushing limit member 124.

[0063] See also Figure 2 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the process of receiving goods and stacking goods to a designated location 900 of the stacking device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 , the direction indicated by arrow A is the first direction A, the direction indicated by arrow B is the second direction B, the direction indicated by arrow C is the third direction C, and the direction indicated by arrow D is the fourth direction D.

[0064] exist Figure 6 In Figure 6-1, the pushing member 122 is pushing two bagged goods onto the right stacking platform 131, and at this time, the blocking member 154 corresponds to the end of the right stacking platform 131 away from the conveying mechanism 121 and is located near the discharge side 113;

[0065] Furthermore, the stacking platform 131 on the right side moves along the third direction C, and while the stacking platform 131 on the right side moves along the third direction C, the blocking member 154 moves together with the stacking platform 131 on the right side to keep corresponding to the end of the stacking platform 131 on the right side away from the conveying mechanism 121, and the stacking platform 131 on the left side also moves along the third direction C to connect the stacking platform 131 on the left side with the end of the conveying mechanism 121, and the pushing member 122 continues to push the goods to the stacking platform 131 on the left side, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown in 6-2.

[0066] Furthermore, the blocking member 154 is retracted to move away from the unloading side 113, and the stacking platform 131 on the right extends out of the receiving area 111 along the first direction A. At the same time, the stacking platform 131 on the left continues to receive the goods delivered to it by the pushing member 122 by the conveying mechanism 121. At this time, the stacking platform 131 on the left has a bagged goods, such as Figure 6 As shown in 6-3.

[0067] Furthermore, the stacking platform 131 on the right side retracts the recycling area 111 along the second direction B, and the blocking member 154 is located near the unloading side 113 to block the goods from reaching the designated position 900, and at this time, the stacking platform 131 on the left side has two bagged goods, such as Figure 6 As shown in 6-4.

[0068] Furthermore, the stacking platform 131 on the right side moves along the fourth direction D to connect with the end of the conveying mechanism 121, and the pushing member 122 continues to push the goods to the stacking platform 131 on the right side. The stacking platform 131 on the left side also moves along the fourth direction D, and the blocking member 154 also moves along the fourth direction D to correspond to the end of the stacking platform 131 on the left side away from the conveying mechanism 121, and the blocking member 154 is located at a position away from the discharge side 113, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown in 6-5.

[0069] Furthermore, the stacking platform 131 on the left extends out of the material receiving area 111 along the first direction A. After the goods move to above the designated position 900 along the stacking platform 131 on the left, the blocking member 154 moves to be located near the unloading side 113, so as to block the goods from reaching the designated position 900 when the stacking platform 131 on the left retracts the material receiving area 111 along the second direction B. Figure 6 As shown in 6-6.

[0070] In this way, by repeating the above process, the left and right stacking platforms 131 can alternately receive goods and alternately stack goods, thereby improving the efficiency of the stacking device 10 in stacking goods.

[0071] The working principle of the stacking device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present invention is:

[0072] The stacking mechanism 13 includes multiple stacking platforms 131 and multiple stacking driving members 132 connected to the stacking bracket 11, and the multiple stacking driving members 132 are connected one by one to the multiple stacking platforms 131. The multiple stacking driving members 132 can independently drive the corresponding stacking platforms 131 to move so that the stacking platforms 131 are connected to the end of the conveying mechanism 12, so that the stacking platforms 131 receive the goods conveyed by the conveying mechanism 12, or drive the corresponding stacking platforms 131 to move to above the designated position 900 or retreat above the designated position 900. In other words, while one stacking driving member 132 drives the corresponding stacking platform 131 to connect with the end of the conveying mechanism 12 so that the stacking platform 131 receives the goods conveyed by the conveying mechanism 12, another stacking driving member 132 can drive the corresponding stacking platform 131 to move to above the designated position 900 or retreat above the designated position 900. The blocking mechanism 15 can be movably connected to the stacking bracket 11, and the position of the blocking mechanism 15 can be close to the stacking platform 131, or away from the stacking platform 131. When the stacking platform 131 retreats from above the designated position 900, the blocking mechanism 15 can block the goods from moving with the stacking platform 131 when it is close to the stacking platform 131, so that the goods fall to the designated position 900. In other words, when the stacking platform 131 retreats from above the designated position 900 under the drive of the corresponding stacking driving member 132, the blocking mechanism 15 can be close to the stacking platform 131 to block the goods above the stacking platform 131, so that the above-mentioned goods can separate from the stacking platform 131 and fall to the designated position 900 under the action of gravity, thereby completing the action of stacking the goods to the designated position 900. In this way, by setting up multiple stacking drive members 132 and stacking platforms 131, when some stacking platforms 131 are connected to the end of the conveying mechanism 12 and receive the goods conveyed by the conveying mechanism 12, the other parts of the stacking platforms 131 are driven by the corresponding stacking drive members 132 to move to above the designated position 900 and then retreat from above the designated position 900 to cooperate with the blocking mechanism 15 to complete the action of stacking the goods to the designated position 900, so as to realize the action of receiving goods and stacking goods at the same time; and, multiple stacking platforms 131, driven by the corresponding stacking drive members 132, alternately perform the action of receiving goods and alternately perform the action of stacking goods, so as to achieve the effect of continuously receiving goods and continuously stacking goods, thereby further improving the stacking efficiency of the stacking device 10.

[0073] In summary:

[0074] The embodiment of the present invention provides a stacking device 10, which can receive goods while stacking goods, and can continuously receive and stack goods, and has the characteristic of high stacking efficiency.
