Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a palletizing device, and in particular to a sheet piece collecting device and a collecting method. Background Art

[0002] A Chinese patent application with application number CN201910944521.5 proposes an aluminum sheet stacking device, which can stack aluminum sheets, but the aluminum sheet stacking device has a poor stacking effect on elliptical aluminum sheets.

[0003] The Chinese patent application with application number CN202010897800.3 proposes a blanking structure that can be applied to elliptical sheets. By reasonably setting the blanking structure, the stacking effect of standard elliptical aluminum sheets can be improved, and the neat stacking of standard elliptical aluminum sheets can be guaranteed. Compared with standard elliptical aluminum sheets, the edge lines of some non-standard elliptical aluminum sheets are smoother. It is difficult to straighten the position of the non-standard elliptical aluminum sheets by hitting the edges of the non-standard elliptical aluminum sheets with four light rods. Therefore, the above-mentioned blanking structure that can be applied to elliptical sheets is difficult to achieve neat stacking of non-standard elliptical aluminum sheets.

[0004] A Chinese patent application with application number CN202111436666.8 proposes a blanking alignment structure for a palletizer, which can achieve neat stacking of round, standard oval and non-standard oval aluminum sheets. However, there are the following technical problems: the structure is relatively complex, and it is difficult to operate when adjusting the limit rod and the push rod for sheet pieces of different sizes.

[0005] Furthermore, the sheet-like piece stacking equipment in the prior art generally has the following technical problems:

[0006] A dedicated material receiving device is required. This dedicated material receiving device has high requirements for the layout site and limits the use of sheet piece stacking equipment. For example, an aluminum sheet stacking equipment proposed in Chinese patent application No. CN201910944521.5 uses a dedicated material receiving device.

[0007] A feeding structure is provided between the conveyor belt and the blanking port. A secondary conveyor belt needs to be provided at the feeding structure to drive the sheet pieces to move toward the blanking port. On the one hand, there are problems of complex structure and high cost. On the other hand, it is difficult to adjust the posture of the sheet pieces when they fall into the blanking port, and the applicability to sheet pieces of different shapes or sizes is poor. For example, the above-mentioned feeding structure is adopted in an aluminum sheet stacking equipment proposed in the Chinese patent application with application number CN201910944521.5.

In a specific implementation, the distance between the left rear limiting rod 205 and the right rear limiting rod 206 is greater than the distance between the two push rods. The space between the left rear limiting rod 205 and the right rear limiting rod 206 provides space for the two push rods to move forward and backward.

[0078] In some embodiments, viewed from above, four limiting rods are located at the four corners of a square. Each limiting rod is connected to a linear reciprocating motion mechanism capable of limiting the limiting rod to linear reciprocating motion. The linear reciprocating motion direction of the two limiting rods located at both ends of a diagonal of the square extends along the diagonal, and the linear reciprocating motion direction of the other two limiting rods extends along the other diagonal of the square. In specific implementation, each reciprocating motion mechanism includes a slide fixedly connected to the base 201 and a sliding member 219 that slidably cooperates with the slide. The lower end of the limiting rod corresponding to the reciprocating motion mechanism is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding member 219 near the blanking port 202.

When the sliding support bars 213 move away from the material dropout 202, the valve assembly opens, allowing the sheet member to pass downward through the material dropout 202. The valve assembly strengthens the support and opening of the door for the sheet member. In specific implementations, due to the provision of the material receiving and lifting module 3, the aforementioned valve assembly can be eliminated as needed, simplifying the structure of the material dropout alignment module 2.

[0083] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the distance between the left push rod and the right push rod to accommodate sheet parts of different sizes, the left upper arm, the right upper arm, the left lower arm and the right lower arm are all connected to the mounting column by a hinged manner, and the four hinge axes are all coaxially arranged with the mounting column. An upper angle adjustment structure for adjusting and locking the angle is provided between the left upper arm and the right upper arm, and a lower angle adjustment structure for adjusting and locking the angle is provided between the left lower arm and the right lower arm.

After loosening the lower locking nut, the angle between the left lower arm and the right lower arm can be adjusted. The lower arc-shaped waist hole is arranged around the hinge axis of the left lower arm and the right lower arm.

[0085] In some embodiments, the plurality of first rollers and the plurality of second rollers are bearings. In a specific implementation, to ensure that the bearings can better contact the edge of the sheet, the plurality of bearings on each first core rod are stacked together in sequence along the axial direction, and the plurality of bearings on each second core rod are stacked together in sequence along the axial direction.

[0086] The working principle of the above-mentioned alignment component 207 is as follows: the four limit rods can move in a straight line along the diagonal line, and the alignment component 207 can move in the front-to-back direction. The positions of the four limit rods and the initial positions of the two push rods in the front-to-back direction can be adjusted according to the size of the sheet member. At the same time, the spacing between the two push rods in the left-to-right direction can also be adjusted according to the size of the sheet member; after the inclined sheet member leaves the conveyor belt 5, it relies on inertia to hit the left front limit rod 203 and the right front limit rod 204, and one side of the sheet member first hits the left front limit rod 203 or The right front limiting rod 204 is supported by a bearing and rotates, which can initially correct the position of the sheet. Due to gravity, the sheet will automatically fall onto the receiving tray 10. During this process, the left rear limiting rod 205 and the right rear limiting rod 206 are provided to prevent the sheet from hitting and rebounding too far. After the sheet is supported on the receiving tray 10, the two push rods will slap the edge of the sheet forward to further correct the position of the sheet. During this process, the sheet contacts the bearing on the push rod, and the sheet can rotate, thereby correcting the position of the sheet more quickly. By providing the bearing in contact with the sheet, the position of the sheet can be corrected more quickly. Since both the bearing and the sheet can rotate, using the bearing to slap the edge of the sheet can reduce damage to the edge of the sheet, reduce the phenomenon of sheet jamming, and also enable the present invention to be used to neatly stack non-standard oval sheet pieces.

[0087] The provision of the left and right push rods allows the spacing between the four limiting rods to be slightly larger than the size of the sheet, allowing the sheet to fall more smoothly into the area between the four limiting rods, thereby improving the practicality of the sheet collection device. The method of initially limiting the position using the four limiting rods and then positioning the sheet using the left and right push rods is suitable for both round sheet pieces and standard oval and non-standard oval sheet pieces, such as round aluminum sheets and oval aluminum sheets.
