DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The specific implementation modes of the present invention are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to make the technical solutions of the present invention easier to understand and grasp.

[0028] Embodiment 1:

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic stacking pallet device and a method of using the same. The stacking method in the prior art is often to sort the goods on the assembly line, put the goods of the same category together, and then stack and stack them manually. Different goods have different stacking methods. Manual stacking is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. The automatic stacking pallet device of the present invention includes a pallet 11, and a slide 12 and a push plate mechanism are provided above the pallet 11. The pallet 11 is also provided with a movable mechanism for driving the slide 12 to move. The push plate mechanism can directly remove the goods from the assembly line and push them into the slide, thereby eliminating the sorting step and improving efficiency. The movable mechanism can move in three directions: front, back, left, right, up and down, to adapt to the height positions of different assembly line conveyor belts, so that the slide can accurately dock with the conveyor belt and smoothly remove the goods.

[0030] The push plate mechanism is arranged at an opening at one end of the slide 12, and is used to push the goods from the assembly line conveyor belt through the opening into the slide 12. The push plate mechanism includes a first electric telescopic rod 16 and a push plate 17. The first electric telescopic rod 16 is fixedly connected to the slide 12, and the push plate 17 is fixedly connected to the first electric telescopic rod 16. The push plate 17 is directly opposite to the opening of the slide 12. The other end of the slide 12 is located above the pallet 11 and is provided with a drop opening 27 for the goods to fall, so that the goods can fall smoothly and be stacked. The lower side of the slide 12 is slidably connected with a baffle 14 for blocking and opening the drop opening 27. A second electric telescopic rod 30 is fixedly provided between the baffle 14 and the slide 12. The electric telescopic rod controls the translation of the baffle 14 with stable movement. Two belt shafts 19 are rotatably connected between the two side walls of the slide 12. An inclined belt 15 for the goods to slide to the drop port 27 is sleeved between the two belt shafts 19. The belt drive can move freely and the inclined setting allows the goods to slide down under the belt drive under the action of gravity, which is smoother than the goods sliding directly on the inclined surface. A step 18 flush with the highest point of the belt 15 is provided at the single-side opening of the slide 12, so that the goods can be smoothly moved onto the belt 15 after entering the slide 12.

[0031] It should be added that the slide 12 is provided with a scanning device for scanning and identifying the information of goods on the assembly line so as to accurately identify the goods to be picked up.

[0032] The movable mechanism includes a first screw rod 20, a column 22, a second screw rod 23, a connecting block 25 and a third screw rod 28. The first screw rod 20 is horizontally arranged on one side of the tray 11, the column 22 is connected to the first screw rod 20 by threads, the second screw rod 23 is vertically arranged on the column 22, the connecting block 25 is connected to the second screw rod 23 by threads, the third screw rod 28 is horizontally arranged on one side of the slide 12, and the third screw rod 28 is connected to the connecting block 25 by threads. A first motor 13 for driving the first screw rod 20 to rotate is provided on the tray 11, a second motor 31 for driving the second screw rod 23 to rotate is provided in the column 22, and a third motor 29 for driving the third screw rod 28 to rotate is provided on the slide 12. The three motors control the actions of the three screw rods to control the slide 12 to move in three-dimensional directions of front, back, left, right, up and down to accurately position it.

[0033] Specifically, a pallet is placed on the pallet 11, and the pallet 11 is placed on the ground on the side of the conveyor belt of the assembly line, and the opening of the slide 12 is facing the direction of the conveyor belt. At the same time, it is best to make the direction of the push plate 17 relative to the first electric telescopic rod 16 opposite to the running direction of the conveyor belt, so that the push plate mechanism can smoothly push the goods into the slide 12, and the second motor 31 is started to drive the second screw 23 to rotate, and then the slide 12 is driven to move up through the connecting block 25 until the step 18 is flush with the surface of the conveyor belt, and the third motor 29 is started to drive the third screw 28 to rotate, thereby driving the slide 12 to move closer to one side of the conveyor belt until the opening of the slide 12 is close to the edge of the conveyor belt.

[0034] The conveyor belt keeps running to transport the goods to the opening near the slide 12. The scanning mechanism scans the goods, and the goods that do not meet the extraction requirements move over the lower side of the first electric telescopic rod 16. When the goods to be extracted are scanned, the first electric telescopic rod 16 contracts, and the push plate 17 pushes the goods from the conveyor belt into the slide 12. The goods slide onto the belt 15 through the step 18, and are driven by gravity and the inclined belt 15 to move to the drop opening 27. At this time, the baffle 14 blocks the lower side opening of the drop opening 27, and the goods are stably supported by the baffle 14.

[0035] Then, according to the position on the pallet where the goods need to be stacked on the pallet 11, the first motor 13 is started to drive the first screw 20 to rotate, and then the slide 12 is driven to move laterally through the column 22. The third motor 29 is started to drive the third screw 28 to rotate, and then the slide 12 is driven to move laterally relative to the column 22, so that the slide 12 drives the goods at the drop opening 27 to move above the stacking position. The second motor 31 is started to drive the second screw 23 to rotate, and then the slide 12 is driven to move down to a suitable height, so that when the second electric telescopic rod 30 quickly pulls the baffle 14 to open the drop opening 27, the goods in the drop opening 27 can fall straight and smoothly onto the pallet, thereby completing a stacking operation.

[0036] The above-mentioned method is then repeated to carry out the assembly line cargo extraction and stacking operations.

[0037] Embodiment 2:

[0038] This embodiment provides a method for using an automatic tray stacking device, comprising the following steps:

[0039] S1. Place the equipment on the ground beside the conveyor belt of the assembly line;

[0040] S2. Adjust the position of the slide 12 through the movable mechanism so that the opening of the slide 12 is close to the side of the conveyor belt;

[0041] S3, the push plate mechanism pushes the goods into the slideway 12 through the opening, and the goods slide to the drop opening 27, at which time the drop opening 27 is closed by the baffle 14;

[0042] S4, the movable mechanism adjusts the position of the slide 12 so that the drop opening 27 moves to the top of the stacking position;

[0043] S5, the baffle 14 slides to open the drop opening 27, and the goods fall to the stacking point to complete the stacking.
