Detailed Implementation

[0058] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0059] The following explanation uses wall-mounted panels as an example.

[0060] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this invention provides a palletizing device that upgrades the original manual material receiving and packing process to an automated palletizing system, reducing labor input and costs, alleviating labor intensity, and improving work efficiency. Specifically, the palletizing device includes:

[0061] Conveyor line 1 is used to transport the processed wall panel 100; specifically, in this embodiment, conveyor line 1 is a belt conveyor line.

[0062] The attitude straightening component 5 is arranged on the conveyor line 1 and located in front of the material distribution component 2, and is used to straighten the attitude of the conveyed wall panel 100.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the posture alignment component 5 includes:

[0064] The first material receiving sensing element 51 is arranged on the conveyor line 1 to sense the arrival of the wall panel 100;

[0065] The positioning auxiliary cylinder 52 is arranged facing or close to the first material receiving sensing element 51 to provide the power for orientation.

[0066] The positioning auxiliary push block 53 is installed on the positioning auxiliary cylinder 52 and can move under the drive of the positioning auxiliary cylinder 52 to push the wall-mounted plate 100 into place for attitude correction.

[0067] It should be noted that the first material receiving sensing element 51 can be an infrared sensor.

[0068] The shape of the positioning auxiliary push block 53 can be designed according to the shape of the wall panel 100. In the accompanying drawings of this embodiment, an embodiment in which the positioning auxiliary push block 53 is a long strip plate structure is shown.

[0069] The material distribution component 2 is arranged on the conveyor line 1 to cut the wall panel 100 that is conveyed in the line.

[0070] Furthermore, the material distribution component 2 includes:

[0071] Several baffles 21 are arranged at intervals, and a flow interception zone is formed between two adjacent baffles 21;

[0072] Several second material receiving sensing elements 22 are arranged in each interception zone to sense whether the wall-mounted panel 100 is in place;

[0073] The lifting mechanism 23 is used to movably install each baffle 21 on the conveyor line 1. The baffle 21 can be raised or lowered relative to the conveyor line 1. When lowered, it can sequentially cut the conveyed wall panel 100 into each interception area.

[0074] The following explanation uses three interception zones as an example. When three interception zones are set, the material distribution component 2 includes four baffles 21. The four baffles 21 are arranged sequentially at intervals, and the length between two adjacent baffles 21 should not be less than the length of the wall-mounted panel 100 to facilitate the placement of the wall-mounted panel 100. In the optimal embodiment, the length of two adjacent baffles 21, that is, the interception zone, is equal to or slightly greater than the length of the wall-mounted panel 100. Thus, not only is the interception and material distribution of two adjacent wall-mounted panels 100 achieved by using the baffles 21, but the wall-mounted panel 100 can also be further positioned by relying on the baffles 21 to ensure the grasping accuracy of the robot 31 when grasping three wall-mounted panels 100 at the same time.

[0075] Four baffles 21 are arranged sequentially, namely the first baffle, the second baffle, the third baffle, and the fourth baffle. The first baffle is located at the farthest end of the conveyor line 1. In this embodiment, the head end of the wall-mounted panel 100 in the conveying direction is the farthest end. Then, the second baffle, the third baffle, and the fourth baffle are arranged in sequence. In use, the three baffles are in the raised state, and the first baffle is lowered, so that the wall-mounted panel 100 can pass smoothly. When the first wall-mounted panel 100 is conveyed to the front of the fourth baffle, the attitude straightening component 5 senses the arrival of the wall-mounted panel 100 and uses the positioning auxiliary cylinder 52 to push the positioning auxiliary push block 53 to push the wall-mounted panel 100 towards one end of the conveyor line 1, so that the wall-mounted panel 100 can be attached to one end of the conveyor line 1. After attitude correction, the wall-mounted panel 100... The wall panel 100 continues to move under the conveyor of the conveyor line 1. When the wall panel 100 moves to the front of the first baffle, the second material receiving element 22 located in the first interception zone senses the arrival of the wall panel 100 and sends a signal to the control system. The control system controls the lifting mechanism 23 to descend, causing the second baffle to fall. At this time, the second baffle does not need to fall flush with the surface of the conveyor belt 1. There can be a certain gap between it and the surface of the belt. As long as the gap is less than the thickness of the wall panel 100, it can be ensured that the wall panel 100 is blocked after the second baffle falls, and subsequent wall panels 100 will not enter. Since the first baffle is always in the falling state, the first wall panel is positioned and will not continue to move with the conveyor line 1. After the second baffle falls, the first wall-mounted plate 100 is blocked in the first interception zone; then the attitude correction and interception action of the second wall-mounted plate 100 are completed in sequence. Since the interval between adjacent wall-mounted plates 100 on the conveyor line 1 may not be greater than the distance from the attitude alignment component 5 to the first interception zone, the second wall-mounted plate 100 may already be adjusting its attitude while the second baffle is lowered to intercept and cut the material of the first wall-mounted plate 100. After the second wall-mounted plate 100 has finished adjusting its posture, it will move along the conveyor line 1. When the second wall-mounted plate 100 moves to the second material induction element 22 in the second interception zone, the control system will control the third baffle to descend to intercept and cut the second wall-mounted plate 100, so that the second wall-mounted plate 100 remains in the second interception zone and does not continue to move with the conveyor line 1. This completes the interception and cutting of two wall-mounted plates 100. After the interception and cutting of three wall-mounted plates 100 is completed, that is, after wall-mounted plates 100 remain in all three interception zones, the control system controls the fourth baffle to fall to prevent the subsequent wall-mounted plates 100 from entering the interception zone. Then, the control system controls the robot to perform a simultaneous grabbing action of the three wall-mounted plates 100. After the robot grabs the three wall-mounted plates 100, the control system controls the three baffles to rise simultaneously. The wall-mounted plates 100 located on the conveyor line 1 then move and enter the posture alignment component 5 and the material distribution component 2 in sequence to perform the next cycle of interception and cutting action, and so on.

[0076] Specifically, after the wall-mounted panel 100 is placed on the conveyor belt by the two-axis robot of the stamping line, the wall-mounted panel 100 moves with the conveyor belt. Initially, the first three baffles 21 on the conveyor belt rise from left to right. At the front end of the conveyor belt, the wall-mounted panel 100 is pushed by the positioning auxiliary cylinder 52 to straighten its posture and move to the leftmost side of the conveyor belt. After the first wall-mounted panel 100 moves to the end baffle 21, the sensor detects that the wall-mounted panel 100 has arrived, and the second baffle descends. After the second wall-mounted panel 100 flows into the second baffle, the sensor detects that the wall-mounted panel 100 has arrived, and the third baffle descends. After the third wall-mounted panel 100 flows into the third baffle, the sensor detects that the wall-mounted panel 100 has arrived, and the fourth baffle descends. Then, the robot picks up the three wall-mounted panels 100 to complete the stacking work. The material distribution component of the conveyor belt achieves the function of accurately positioning and cutting the wall-mounted panels 100.

[0077] The material handling component 3 is arranged between the material distribution component 2 and the material storage component 4. It is used to pick up the cut wall panel 100 from the conveyor line 1 and stack it into the material storage component 4.

[0078] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the material handling component 3 includes:

[0079] Robot 31 has a robotic arm; this robot is an industrial robot and is a commonly used piece of equipment in production lines. Since this invention does not modify any part of robot 31, it is directly purchased from the market. The operation and control steps of the palletizing device are programmed and preset into robot 31. Therefore, the structural parts of robot 31 will not be described in detail here.

[0080] The suction cup gripper 32 is mounted on the robotic arm and is used to grip and stack the wall panel 100.

[0081] like Figure 4 As shown, further, the suction cup gripper 32 includes:

[0082] The suction cup frame 321 is fixed to the robotic arm. In this embodiment, because the material distribution component 2 has three interception zones, it is necessary to simultaneously grasp three wall-mounted panels 100. Therefore, in order to achieve simultaneous grasping, the suction cup frame 321 of this invention has an E-shaped structure, including a horizontal bar and vertical bars. One end of the horizontal bar is connected to the flange on the robotic arm through a flange. Three vertical bars are arranged at intervals on the horizontal bar, and suction cups 322 are provided at the ends of the vertical bars. In addition, considering the space factor, in this embodiment, the number of suction cups 322 is twice the number of interception zones. For example, when there are three interception zones, six suction cups 322 are provided. The six suction cups 322 are divided into two groups and respectively set on both sides of the vertical bars of the suction cup frame 321. One group of suction cups 322 is used to grasp the wall-mounted panels 100 from the conveyor line 1 and place them in the storage component 4 for stacking. The other group of suction cups 322 is used to move and stack the wall-mounted panels 100 placed in the storage component 4 for stacking.

[0083] During operation, when every three wall-mounted panels on the conveyor belt are 100mm in position, the system sends a signal to the robot, such as... Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the sponge suction cups are ventilated to create suction pressure. The robot moves the suction cups to the designated positions, where they pick up the three wall-mounted panels 100mm in size, completing the subsequent palletizing process. The suction cup gripper consists of six sponge suction cups and a suction cup structure, with three suction cups distributed on the front and three on the back. Figures 8-10 As shown, the three suction cups on the front are used to pick up the wall-mounted panel 100 from the conveyor belt and place it on the front support frame of the dedicated tooling cart in the palletizing area. The robot is then attracted by a strong magnet and stands upright on the front support frame. Afterwards, the robot exits the interior of the tooling cart. Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, adjust the gripper's posture and use the three suction cups on the back to pick up the wall-mounted panel 100 and complete the stacking. The stacking process is as follows: Figures 8-12 As shown.

[0084] like Figure 5 As shown, the storage assembly 4 is arranged beside the conveyor line 1 to support the stacked wall panel 100.

[0085] Furthermore, the storage assembly includes:

[0086] Tooling cart 41 is an industrial tooling cart with casters at the bottom for easy movement;

[0087] The frame 42 is vertically mounted on the tooling car 41 so that the stacked wall-mounted panels 100 can lean against it;

[0088] The number of support rods 43 is the same as the number of interception zones. That is, when there are three interception zones, there are also three support rods 43. They are arranged alternately from top to bottom on the frame 42. A stacking area is formed between the frame 42 and the support rods 43 for stacking and storing the wall-mounted panels 100. The robot 31 uses the suction cup gripper 32 to grab the three wall-mounted panels 100 at the same time, then turns 90 degrees to arrange the three wall-mounted panels 100 in a vertical position, and then moves them into the tooling car 41, where the three support rods 43 support the three wall-mounted panels 100.

[0089] Furthermore, the support rod 43 has a certain degree of roughness to prevent the wall panel 100 from sliding, and the wall panel 100 actually has a slight tilt angle so that it can lean against the frame 42 of the tooling vehicle 41 when stacking.

[0090] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the transfer mechanism 44 is located at the free end of the support rod 43 and is used to place the wall-mounted panel 100 waiting to be stacked, which is picked up by the material picking component 3.

[0091] Furthermore, transit facility 44 includes:

[0092] The front support frame 441 is fixed to the end of the support rod 43; specifically, the front support frame 441 has an L-shaped structure.

[0093] A strong magnetic component 442 is installed at the end of the front support frame 441 away from the support rod 43.

[0094] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the support rod 43 has a rectangular cross-section, and the width of the rectangle is adapted to the notch specification of the wall-mounted panel 100 to facilitate left and right limit movement and prevent the wall-mounted panel 100 from tilting and falling. Furthermore, the corners of the support rod 43 are all rounded.

[0095] like Figure 5 As shown, each support rod 43 can also be made of two separate circular tubes.

[0096] In use: The tooling cart 41 is equipped with four omnidirectional wheels, allowing it to be freely pulled to the next process by a tractor or manually. The tooling cart 41 is equipped with three support rods 43. Combined with the device's feature of grabbing and stacking three wall-mounted panels 100 at a time, the robot places the three wall-mounted panels 100 onto the support rods 43. The front end of the support rods 43 is equipped with a strong magnetic component, which can attract the wall-mounted panels 100, assisting the robot in adjusting its posture and using the suction cup on its back to grab the wall-mounted panels 100 to complete the stacking work.

[0097] In this embodiment, the second material receiving element 22 can also be an infrared sensor.

[0098] In operation, after the wall-mounted panel 100 is stamped and flows into the conveyor belt, the sensor detects the panel 100, and the front-end positioning auxiliary cylinder 52 is activated to adjust the posture and position of the wall-mounted panel 100. Four baffles 21 are set on the conveyor belt, which descend sequentially to intercept three wall-mounted panels 100 to be stacked and wall-mounted panels 100 to flow in. When the three wall-mounted panels 100 are simultaneously in the designated position, the robot begins to grab and stack them. After the three wall-mounted panels 100 leave the conveyor belt, the baffles 21 rise, and subsequent wall-mounted panels 100 continue to flow in, repeating the process in this manner.

[0099] The palletizing device of this invention is an air conditioner wall-mounted panel palletizing device based on an industrial robot. The production process of the palletizing device of this invention is divided into three stages: In the first stage, the wall-mounted panels arrive at their designated positions. After flowing from the stamping line to the conveyor belt, the wall-mounted panels move to the designated positions along the conveyor belt. The flow of wall-mounted panels is intercepted in groups of three at the designated positions by the liftable baffles on the conveyor belt. In the second stage, the robot picks up the wall-mounted panels. After all three wall-mounted panels have arrived at the designated positions, the robot drives the sponge suction cups to pick up the three wall-mounted panels and places them at the front of a special tooling cart to await palletizing. In the third stage, the wall-mounted panels are palletized. After the robot places the wall-mounted panels at the front of the special tooling cart, the robot exits the internal space of the special tooling cart, adjusts its posture, and uses the back suction cups to pick up the wall-mounted panels again to complete the wall-mounted panel palletizing.

[0100] The present invention provides a production equipment including the palletizing device described above.

[0101] Furthermore, the production equipment is wall-mounted panel production equipment.

[0102] The production equipment of this invention:

[0103] 1. Eliminate the time difference in stacking speed: By setting up a material distribution component with multiple interception zones on the conveyor line, combined with a robot, the number of suction cups is twice the number of interception zones. One set of suction cups can simultaneously grab all wall-mounted panels in all interception zones, achieving a three-piece grabbing method, thereby eliminating the time difference in stacking speed. The line speed is 8 pieces / min. Manual material collection can lead to untimely material collection and line stoppage. Using the device of this invention, automated grabbing and stacking are achieved, and the time difference in stacking speed is eliminated. The robot grabbing speed is increased from the original 3 pieces / minute to 8 pieces / minute, which meets the production speed of the line, eliminates frequent line stoppages, ensures stable operation, and completes 100 stacks of wall-mounted panels.

[0104] 2. Precise positioning and automatic cutting positioning: The position and posture of the wall-mounted panel are adjusted by cylinders and infrared sensors. After the posture of the wall-mounted panel is adjusted, it is transported to the designated position and waits for grabbing and stacking. After the wall-mounted panel 100 falls from the stamping line into the conveyor belt, there are four liftable baffles on the conveyor belt. A positioning auxiliary cylinder is set at the front end to adjust the posture of the wall-mounted panel 100 flowing into the conveyor belt. The baffles are controlled by sensors to intercept the wall-mounted panel 100 to the designated position. Three wall-mounted panels 100 are grouped together and wait for the robot to grab and stack them.

[0105] 3. Stable and reliable gripping: The suction cup gripper is installed on the robot's robotic arm and can stably grip three wall panels at a time for stacking.

[0106] 4. Material storage components: By designing a special tooling vehicle that conforms to this palletizing device and combining it with the structural characteristics of the wall-mounted panel, the palletizing quality and gripping method are guaranteed.

[0107] 5. This invention has wide applicability and can be used for stacking various types of air conditioner wall-mounted panels, and can also be extended to the grabbing and stacking of other types of sheet materials.

[0108] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
