Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of destacking, and in particular relates to a destacking device and a destacking method. Background Art
[0002] In the production of grain, fertilizer, cement and other fields, as well as in the process of logistics transmission, in order to improve space utilization and facilitate the transportation and transshipment of goods, it is often necessary to stack the goods layer by layer, that is, palletizing. When the goods are to be used, the stacked goods need to be taken out layer by layer, that is, destacking.
[0003] Publication number "CN109436815A" discloses a "depalletizing device and depalletizing method". The cargo stack is transferred from the cargo stack input line into the cargo stack lifting mechanism. After the cargo stack lifting mechanism lifts the cargo stack to a specified height, the sliding mechanism drives the material receiving line and the resisting mechanism to approach the cargo stack, and makes the resisting mechanism resist the second layer of cargo above the cargo stack. The robotic arm drives the moving mechanism to the specified position to move the cargo to the cargo output line.
[0004] The above-mentioned prior art requires the use of a cargo stack input line to transport the stacked materials to be destackered to a cargo stack lifting mechanism when unloading the materials. Since the size of the cargo stack input line is fixed and the spacing between the cargo output lines on the left and right sides is fixed, it cannot adapt to the use of cargo stacks of different sizes, making it inconvenient to destacker and transport the goods. Moreover, since the cargo stack is heavy, it is easy to damage the cargo stack input line. At the same time, when the materials are moved to the cargo output line, too much material is moved to the output line at one time, and the goods moved to the cargo output line are prone to being messy, which is inconvenient for subsequent further operations on the materials and has a poor use effect.
[0005] To this end, we designed a destacking device and a destacking method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0016] The destacking method comprises the following steps:
[0017] Step 1: First, start the first motor to drive the first screw to rotate. Under the cooperation of the first screw and the thread of the movable block, adjust the left and right movable blocks to move closer or farther away from each other. Combined with the self-locking universal wheels at the bottom of the cargo conveying mechanism and the pallet conveying mechanism, under the action of the push rod, drive the cargo conveying mechanism and the pallet conveying mechanism to move, adjust the distance between the cargo conveying mechanism and the pallet conveying mechanism to adapt to the actual size of the cargo stack, and then use a forklift to move the cargo stack to the lifting plate of the cargo stack lifting mechanism, and start the cargo stack lifting mechanism to drive the cargo stack to move to a suitable height, and then go to step 2;
[0018] Step 2: Start the second motor to drive the second screw to rotate. Under the cooperation of the threads of the second screw and the slider, the mounting frame is driven to move forward, thereby driving the first and second destacking assemblies to move forward to the appropriate positions, and then proceed to step 3;
[0019] Step 3: Start the fourth motor to drive the second screw to rotate. Under the cooperation of the threads of the second screw and the second mounting block, the second destacking assembly is driven to move to a suitable position. Under the action of the robotic arm, the paddle is adjusted to insert into the gap on the side of the goods to be removed, and then go to step 4.
[0020] Step 4: Start the third motor to drive the first screw to rotate. Under the cooperation of the threads of the first screw and the first mounting block, the second depalletizing assembly is driven to move closer to the goods, and the shovel plate is driven to be close to the bottom of the goods. Under the action of the robotic arm, the goods are pushed onto the shovel plate, and the fixed plate and the pry plate are combined to clamp both sides of the goods, and then go to step 5.
[0021] Step 5: Under the joint action of the third motor and the fourth motor, the goods on the shovel are moved to the top of the goods conveying mechanism. At the same time, the cylinder is activated to drive the rack to move upward. Under the meshing action of the rack and the teeth, combined with the rotation of the rotating shaft, the shovel is driven to flip downward, so that the goods on the shovel slide onto the goods conveying mechanism and are transported outward, and then go to step 6;
[0022] Step 6: After the goods are unstacking, under the cooperation of the third motor, the first screw and the first mounting block, the second unstacking assembly is adjusted to move to the right, and the empty pallet is pushed to the right onto the pallet conveying mechanism.
[0023] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] The present invention cooperates with the thread of the first screw rod and the movable block to facilitate the adjustment of the left and right movable blocks to move closer or farther away from each other, and combines the cargo conveying mechanism and the self-locking universal wheel at the bottom of the pallet conveying mechanism with the action of the push rod, thereby driving the cargo conveying mechanism and the pallet conveying mechanism to move, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the distance between the cargo conveying mechanism and the pallet conveying mechanism to adapt to the actual size of the cargo stack, and then using a forklift to move the cargo stack to the lifting plate of the cargo stack lifting mechanism, thereby improving the flexibility of the device and solving the problem that the prior art needs to use a cargo stack input line to transport the stacked materials to be destackered to the cargo stack lifting mechanism because the size of the cargo stack input line is fixed and the distance between the cargo output lines on the left and right sides is fixed, which cannot adapt to the destackering of cargo stacks of different sizes. At the same time, it eliminates the disadvantage that the cargo stack input line is easily damaged due to the heavy weight of the cargo stack during the process of using the cargo stack input line to transport the stacked materials to be destackered to the cargo stack lifting mechanism.
[0025] The mechanical arm facilitates the adjustment of the paddle plate into the gap on the side of the cargo to be removed, and the first screw rod cooperates with the thread of the first mounting block and the fixed plate to drive the shovel plate to move close to the bottom of the cargo. The mechanical arm and the paddle plate are used to push the cargo onto the shovel plate until the cargo contacts the fixed plate. The paddle plate and the fixed plate clamp both sides of the cargo to remove the cargo from the cargo stack.
[0026] At the same time, under the joint action of the second screw, the first screw and the second screw, it is easy to drive the goods on the shovel plate to move above the goods conveying mechanism, and at the same time start the cylinder to drive the rack to move upward. Under the meshing action of the rack and the teeth, combined with the rotation installation of the rotating shaft, the shovel plate is driven to flip downward, so that the goods on the shovel plate slide onto the goods conveying mechanism and transported outward, achieving the purpose of transferring the goods to the goods conveying mechanism one by one, and solving the problem in the prior art that when moving materials to the goods output line, too much material is moved to the output line at one time, and the goods moved to the goods output line are prone to be messy, which is inconvenient for subsequent further operation of the materials.

[0048] The destacking method comprises the following steps:
[0049] Step 1: First, start the first motor 24 to drive the first screw rod 4 to rotate. Under the thread cooperation between the first screw rod 4 and the movable block 5, adjust the left and right movable blocks 5 to move closer or farther away from each other. Combined with the self-locking universal wheels at the bottom of the cargo conveying mechanism 2 and the pallet conveying mechanism 3, under the action of the push rod 6, the cargo conveying mechanism 2 and the pallet conveying mechanism 3 are driven to move. The distance between the cargo conveying mechanism 2 and the pallet conveying mechanism 3 is adjusted to adapt to the actual size of the cargo stack. Then, with the help of a forklift, the cargo stack is moved to the lifting plate of the cargo stack lifting mechanism 23, and the cargo stack lifting mechanism 23 is started to drive the cargo stack to move to a suitable height, and then go to step 2.
[0050] Step 2: Start the second motor 25 to drive the second screw rod 7 to rotate. Under the threaded cooperation between the second screw rod 7 and the slider 8, the mounting frame 9 is driven to move forward, thereby driving the first and second destacking assemblies to move forward to the appropriate positions, and then proceed to step 3;
[0051] Step 3: Start the fourth motor 27 to drive the second screw 12 to rotate. Under the threaded cooperation between the second screw 12 and the second mounting block 14, the second destacking assembly is driven to move to a suitable position. Under the action of the robotic arm 15, the paddle 16 is adjusted to insert into the gap on the side of the goods to be removed, and then proceed to step 4.
[0052] Step 4: Start the third motor 26 to drive the first screw 11 to rotate. Under the cooperation of the threads of the first screw 11 and the first mounting block 13, the second depalletizing assembly is driven to move closer to the goods, and the shovel plate 19 is driven to be close to the bottom of the goods. Under the action of the mechanical arm 15, the goods are pushed onto the shovel plate 19. Combined with the fixing plate 17 and the prying plate 16, the two sides of the goods are clamped, and then the process goes to step 5.
[0053] Step 5: Under the joint action of the third motor 26 and the fourth motor 27, the goods on the shovel plate 19 are moved to the top of the goods conveying mechanism 2. At the same time, the cylinder 22 is activated to drive the rack 20 to move upward. Under the meshing action of the rack 20 and the teeth 21, combined with the rotation of the rotating shaft 18, the shovel plate 19 is driven to flip downward, so that the goods on the shovel plate 19 slide onto the goods conveying mechanism 2 and are conveyed outward, and then go to step 6;
[0054] Step 6: After the goods are unstacking, the third motor 26, the first screw 11 and the first mounting block 13 cooperate with each other to adjust the second unstacking assembly to move rightward, pushing the empty pallet to the right onto the pallet conveying mechanism 3.
[0055] Example:
[0056] First, according to the actual size of the cargo stack to be destackered, the first motor 24 is started to drive the first screw rod 4 to rotate. Under the threaded cooperation between the first screw rod 4 and the movable block 5, combined with the sliding cooperation between the movable block 5 and the cross bar, the left and right movable blocks 5 are adjusted to stably move closer to or farther away from each other. Combined with the self-locking universal wheels at the bottom of the cargo conveying mechanism 2 and the pallet conveying mechanism 3, under the action of the push rod 6, the cargo conveying mechanism 2 and the pallet conveying mechanism 3 are driven to move, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the distance between the cargo conveying mechanism 2 and the pallet conveying mechanism 3 to adapt to the actual size of the cargo stack. Then, the cargo stack is moved to the lifting plate of the cargo stack lifting mechanism 23 with the help of a forklift, which improves the flexibility of the device and solves the problem in the prior art that the cargo stack input line is required to transport the stack materials to be destackered to the cargo stack lifting mechanism 23. Since the size of the cargo stack input line is fixed and the distance between the cargo output lines on the left and right sides is fixed, it cannot adapt to the destackering of cargo stacks of different sizes. At the same time, it eliminates the disadvantage that the cargo stack input line is easily damaged due to the heavy weight of the cargo stack during the process of transporting the stack materials to be destackered to the cargo stack lifting mechanism 23 using the cargo stack input line.
[0057] Then, the cargo stack is raised to a suitable height by the cargo stack lifting mechanism 23, and the second motor 25 is started to drive the second screw rod 7 to rotate. Under the threaded cooperation between the second screw rod 7 and the slider 8, the mounting frame 9 is driven to move forward, thereby driving the first and second destacking assemblies to move forward to the appropriate positions.
[0058] The fourth motor 27 and the third motor 26 are started simultaneously, and the second screw 12 is driven to rotate by the fourth motor 27. Under the threaded cooperation between the second screw 12 and the second mounting block 14, the second destacking assembly is driven to move to a suitable position. Under the action of the robotic arm 15, the paddle 16 is adjusted to insert into the gap on the side of the goods to be removed.
[0059] The first screw 11 is driven to rotate by the third motor 26. Under the threaded cooperation between the first screw 11 and the first mounting block 13, the fixed plate 17 is combined to drive the shovel plate 19 to move close to the bottom of the cargo. Under the action of the mechanical arm 15, the paddle plate 16 is cooperated to push the cargo onto the shovel plate 19 until the cargo contacts the fixed plate 17. The paddle plate 16 and the fixed plate 17 cooperate with each other to clamp both sides of the cargo.
[0060] Then, under the joint action of the second motor 25, the third motor 26 and the fourth motor 27, the second screw rod 7, the first screw rod 11 and the second screw rod 12 are adjusted to rotate, thereby driving the goods on the shovel plate 19 to move to the top of the goods conveying mechanism 2, and at the same time starting the cylinder 22 to drive the rack 20 to move upward. Under the meshing action of the rack 20 and the teeth 21, combined with the rotation installation of the rotating shaft 18, the shovel plate 19 is driven to flip downward, so that the goods on the shovel plate 19 slide onto the goods conveying mechanism 2 and are conveyed outward, thereby achieving the purpose of transferring the goods to the goods conveying mechanism 2 one by one, and solving the problem in the prior art that when the materials are transferred to the goods output line, too much material is transferred to the output line at one time, and the goods transferred to the goods output line are prone to be messy, which is inconvenient for subsequent further operation of the materials;
[0061] During the destacking process, the goods on the stack are removed from left to right, which facilitates the adjustment of the movement of the shovel 19;
[0062] After the goods are unstacking, the third motor 26 , the first screw 11 and the first mounting block 13 cooperate with each other to adjust the second unstacking assembly to move rightward, pushing the empty pallet to the right onto the pallet conveying mechanism 3 .
