[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0028] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] In order to solve the technical problems in the prior art, the present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0030] like Figures 1-4As shown, this invention discloses an automatic material stacking device, including a frame 1, an auxiliary mechanism 3, and a transport mechanism 4. The frame 1 is equipped with several shelves 2 for storing and classifying boxed materials. The auxiliary mechanism 3 is installed on the frame 1, and the transport mechanism 4 is connected to the auxiliary mechanism 3. The transport mechanism 4 places and transports boxed materials. The auxiliary mechanism 3 then conveys the transport mechanism 4 and its boxed materials to the shelves 2 on the frame 1 for centralized management of the boxes. This addresses issues such as disordered box placement, lost boxes, and incorrect material handling. In practical applications, the number, installation location, and space of the automatic material stacking device can be adjusted according to the production distribution. It can also be applied to the sorting and classification of materials other than boxes, improving workshop management level and efficiency.

[0031] In some embodiments, the rack 1 is divided into several storage areas, and each storage area is provided with several storage racks 2. The location, number, and size of the storage areas on the rack 1 are designed according to the specific dimensions of the materials, the size of the rack 1, and the available space. Furthermore, the overall space of the rack 1 also needs to be designed according to the actual situation. Additionally, the several storage areas on the rack 1 can be evenly distributed or of varying sizes; no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0032] In some embodiments, the auxiliary mechanism 3 includes a first driving member and a first transmission member. The first driving member is connected to the first transmission member, and the first transmission member is connected to the transport mechanism 4. The first driving member is used to provide driving force to drive the transmission member to move the transport mechanism 4, thereby transporting the materials on the transport mechanism 4 to the corresponding shelf 2. Similarly, the materials on the shelf 2 can be transported to a specific workstation through the transport mechanism 4 and the auxiliary mechanism 3.

[0033] Therefore, the automatic material stacking device of this application can not only realize the storage of materials in the rack 1, with the functions of sorting and classifying, but also realize the transportation of materials from inside the rack 1 to outside the rack 1, with the function of retrieving materials, thus avoiding the problem of disorderly accumulation of materials in the on-site production workshop, which would occupy space and affect the efficiency of workshop management and production.

[0034] In some embodiments, the shipping mechanism 4 includes a second drive member, a second transmission member, and a carrying assembly 43. The second drive member and the second transmission member are connected, and the second transmission member is connected to the carrying assembly 43. The carrying assembly 43 carries materials, and the second drive member provides driving force, causing the transmission member to move the carrying assembly 43, thus moving the materials on the carrying assembly 43 to the corresponding shelf 2.

[0035] On the one hand, the first transmission member and the first driving member can drive the bearing assembly 43 and the material on it to move in a first direction. On the other hand, the second driving member and the second transmission member can drive the bearing assembly 43 and the material on it to move in a second direction. The first direction and the second direction may be the same or different.

[0036] In a specific example, in order to improve the space utilization of the on-site production workshop, the vertical space of the production workshop is rationally planned. Specifically, several shelves 2 are designed and distributed along the vertical direction. Furthermore, multiple vertical spaces are designed on the frame 1, and several shelves 2 are set at intervals in each vertical space. In this way, too much horizontal space in the production workshop will not be occupied, and the material placement method can be organized to reduce disorderly placement.

[0037] Thus, the carrying component 43 can move and transport materials vertically. The auxiliary mechanism 3 drives the entire transport mechanism 4 to move vertically. Assuming the vertical direction is the first direction, the entire transport mechanism 4 moves in the second direction. At this time, the auxiliary mechanism 3 first moves the carrying component 43 to the vicinity of the designated shelf 2, and then the second drive and the second transmission drive the carrying component 43 to move the materials onto the shelf 2, completing the storage action of the materials. Conversely, when it is necessary to remove the materials from the shelf 2, the auxiliary mechanism 3 moves the carrying component 43 to the vicinity of the corresponding shelf 2, and then the second drive and the second transmission drive the carrying component 43 to remove the materials from the shelf 2.

[0038] The transport mechanism 4 can also move vertically under the action of the second drive and the second transmission components. In this case, it is assumed that the vertical direction is the first direction. The auxiliary mechanism 3 can drive the entire transport mechanism 4 to move in the second direction. At this time, the second drive and the second transmission components drive the carrying component 43 to move the material to the vicinity of the designated shelf 2. Then, the auxiliary mechanism 3 drives the carrying component 43 to move and store the material on the shelf 2, thus realizing the storage and organization of the material. Conversely, the step of taking away the material can be deduced from the above-mentioned action of storing the material, and will not be elaborated on here.

[0039] In a specific example, the auxiliary mechanism 3 drives the overall transport mechanism 4 to move vertically, and the second driving component and the second transmission component drive the load-bearing component 43 to move horizontally, that is, parallel to the ground. At this time, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0040] In another specific example, the auxiliary mechanism 3 drives the overall transport mechanism 4 to move horizontally, and the second driving member and the second transmission member drive the bearing assembly 43 to move vertically. At this time, the first direction and the second direction are also perpendicular to each other.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first driving component of the auxiliary mechanism 3 is a first motor 31, and the first transmission component is a first chain 32. The auxiliary mechanism 3 also includes a first transmission shaft 33 and a first sprocket 34. The first transmission shaft 33 is connected to the first driving component, and the first sprocket 34 is mounted on the first transmission shaft 33. The first transmission component is meshed with the first sprocket 34. Another first sprocket 34 is provided on the frame 1, and the first chain 32 is wound around the outer circumference of the first sprocket 34. The connection method between the first sprocket 34 and the first chain 32, and the connection method between the second sprocket 45 and the second chain 42 in this application are prior art and will not be described in detail here. When the first driving component is activated, power is transmitted to the first transmission component through the first transmission shaft 33 and the first sprocket 34, causing the first sprocket 34 to rotate, thereby driving the transport mechanism 4 connected to the first transmission component to move.

[0042] As an alternative embodiment of the auxiliary mechanism 3 that drives the shipping mechanism 4 to move in the first direction, the first driving component of the auxiliary mechanism 3 is a first motor 31, the first transmission component is a first transmission screw, the shipping mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the first transmission screw, and when the first motor 31 drives, the first transmission screw rotates, thereby causing the shipping mechanism 4 to move in the first direction.

[0043] In addition, other auxiliary structures besides lead screw + motor and sprocket chain + motor can be used to move the transport mechanism 4 along the first direction. The first driving component is not limited to a motor, but can also be a cylinder. Specifically, the output rod of the cylinder is connected to the first transmission component to provide driving force. In this application, other power components can also be used to provide driving force for the movement of the first transmission component and the transport mechanism 4. No specific restrictions are made here.

[0044] In some embodiments, to facilitate the structure of the maintenance auxiliary mechanism 3, a first base plate 101 is provided at the lower end of the frame 1, and the first driving component is mounted on the first base plate 101 instead of being mounted at the upper end of the frame 1. This makes it easier for workers to repair the first driving component when it is damaged.

[0045] In some embodiments, in order to improve the stability of the auxiliary mechanism 3 driving the transport mechanism 4 to move, at least two second transmission members can be provided. Correspondingly, when only one first driving member is used, it is necessary to provide driving force for two second transmission members at the same time. A first motor 31 with dual output shafts can be used. In this case, two first transmission members are provided, that is, the two output shafts of the first motor 31 are independently connected to one first transmission member. Each first transmission member is fixedly connected to the transport mechanism 4, driving the transport mechanism 4 to move.

[0046] Alternatively, when only one first driving member is used, a first motor 31 with a single output shaft can also be used. In this case, the auxiliary mechanism 3 also includes a first transmission gear 35. If there are two or more first transmission members and first transmission shafts 33, the first transmission gear 35 is mounted on each first transmission shaft 33. The first transmission gear 35 is connected to the first driving member. Specifically, the output shaft of the first driving member is provided with a first drive gear. The first drive gear meshes with the first transmission gear 35, driving the first transmission gear 35 to rotate. As a result, the first sprocket 34 on the first transmission shaft 33 rotates, causing the first chain 32 to move and drive the transport mechanism 4 to move.

[0047] In a specific example, at least two first sprockets 34 are mounted on the first drive shaft 33, so that at least two first chains 32 are mounted on a single first drive shaft 33 through the first sprockets 34, further ensuring the stability of the transport mechanism 4 in the first direction.

[0048] In practical applications, based on factors such as the weight of the material, the weight of the transport mechanism 4, and the distribution of the shelves 2 on the frame 1, the stability of material transport to the shelf 2 and the reliability of the device are further improved by adding multiple second transmission components, the first transmission shaft 33, the first sprocket 34, the first transmission gear 35, and other structures.

[0049] In some embodiments, a first guide structure is also installed on the frame 1, and the transport mechanism 4 is slidably connected to the first guide structure. That is, when the transport mechanism 4 moves along the first direction, it slides relative to the guide structure, which plays a limiting and guiding role. The guide structure is used to improve the stability and reliability of the transport mechanism 4 moving under the drive of the auxiliary mechanism 3.

[0050] In a specific example, the consignment mechanism 4 is provided with a first limiting structure, which is slidably connected to a first guide structure.

[0051] In a specific example, the first limiting structure includes at least one first guide roller 47. The first guide structure is a guide square tube 11. When there are two first guide rollers 47, the guide square tube 11 is located between the two first guide rollers 47, that is, the outer periphery of the first guide roller 47 is connected to the guide square tube 11. The length direction of the guide square tube 11 is consistent with the first direction.

[0052] For example, the shipping mechanism 4 is provided with four sets of the first guide rollers 47, and each set of the first guide rollers 47 has two rollers. Correspondingly, the frame 1 is provided with two guide tubes 11 along the first direction of movement of the shipping mechanism 4, and each guide tube 11 is slidably connected to the two sets of the first guide rollers 47.

[0053] As an alternative embodiment to the first guide roller 47 and the guide tube 11, a slider + slide rail structure is adopted. Specifically, the first guide structure is a slider and the first limiting structure is a slide rail, or the first guide structure is a slide rail and the first limiting structure is a slider. A lead screw + motor structure can also be used.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second drive component of the transport mechanism 4 is a second motor 41, and the second transmission component is a second chain 42. The transport mechanism 4 also includes a second drive shaft 44 and a second sprocket 45. The second drive shaft 44 is connected to the second drive component, the second sprocket 45 is mounted on the second drive shaft 44, and the second chain 42 is meshed with the second sprocket 45. When the second drive component is activated, the second drive shaft 44 and the second sprocket 45 rotate, causing the load-bearing component 43 on the second chain 42 to move in a second direction, moving the material onto the shelf 2 for storage.

[0055] In some embodiments, in order to improve the reliability of the device and the stability of material conveying, at least two second transmission components are provided. Correspondingly, when only one second drive component is used, it is necessary to provide driving force for both second transmission components at the same time. A second motor 41 with dual output shafts can be used. In this case, there are two second transmission components, that is, the two output shafts of the second motor 41 are respectively connected to independent second transmission components. Each second transmission component is fixedly connected to the bearing component 43, driving the bearing component 43 to move.

[0056] Alternatively, when only one second drive unit is used, a second motor 41 with a single output shaft can also be used. In this case, the transport mechanism 4 also includes a second transmission gear 46. The second transmission gear 46 is mounted on the second transmission shaft 44. The second transmission gear 46 is connected to the second drive unit. A second drive gear is provided on the output shaft of the second drive unit. The second drive gear meshes with the second transmission gear 46, driving the second transmission gear 46 to rotate. This causes the second sprocket 45 on the second transmission shaft 44 to rotate, which in turn causes the second chain 42 to move and move the load-bearing component 43.

[0057] As an alternative embodiment, the second driving component is a second motor 41, and the second transmission component is a second transmission screw. The combined structure of the second motor 41 and the second transmission screw drives the bearing component 43 to move in a second direction.

[0058] In addition, other auxiliary structures besides lead screw + motor and sprocket chain + motor can be used to move the transport mechanism 4 along the first direction. The second driving component is not limited to a motor, but can also be a cylinder. Specifically, the output rod of the cylinder is connected to the second transmission component to provide driving force. In this application, other power components can also be used to provide driving force for the movement of the second transmission component and the load-bearing component 43. No specific restrictions are made here.

[0059] In a specific example, the guide tube 11 is used as the guide rail for the first guide roller 47, ensuring the vertical movement stability of the transport mechanism 4. This also reduces the use of standard slide rail components, saving space and reducing costs. Furthermore, the use of a double-chain drive mechanism in both the horizontal and vertical directions further enhances the balance and stability of the automatic stacking of materials in the material box.

[0060] The transport mechanism 4 also includes a fixed frame 48 and a second guide structure. The second drive component and the second transmission shaft 44 are mounted on the fixed frame 48, which serves as the main structure of the entire transport mechanism 4. The first limiting structure and the second guide structure are also mounted on the fixed frame 48. The bearing assembly 43 is provided with a second limiting structure, which is slidably connected to the second guide structure. When the second drive component and the second transmission component drive the bearing assembly 43 to move, the second guide structure assists in limiting the movement of the bearing assembly 43, thereby improving transport stability.

[0061] In a specific example, the second guide structure includes a guide rail 49, the second limiting structure includes a second guide roller 50, the second guide roller 50 is connected to the bearing component 43, the guide rail 49 is disposed on the fixed frame 48, and the second guide roller 50 is slidably connected to the guide rail 49, that is, when the bearing component 43 moves along the second direction, the second guide roller 50 rolls along the second direction, and the length direction of the guide rail 49 is consistent with the second direction.

[0062] In a specific example, the cross-section of the second guide roller 50 is V-shaped, and the corresponding cross-section of the guide rail 49 is V-shaped. Using the V-shaped guide rail 49 and the V-shaped second guide roller 50 further improves the stability of the load-bearing assembly 43 moving along the second direction.

[0063] For example, at least two guide rails 49 and a second guide roller 50 are provided to ensure the smooth conveying of materials in the second direction. When two guide rails 49 are provided, the width direction of the guide rails 49 is consistent with the width direction of the shelf 2, and the distance between the two guide rails 49 is greater than the width of the shelf 2 to avoid motion interference.

[0064] In some embodiments, the support assembly 43 includes a bracket 431 and a support platform 432. The support platform 432 is provided with a connecting plate 4321, which is connected to the second guide roller 50. The bracket 431 is used to load materials and is disposed on the support platform 432.

[0065] In some embodiments, the shelf 2 includes a limiting plate 21 and a plurality of first positioning members 22. The first positioning members 22 are disposed on the limiting plate 21, and the plurality of first positioning members 22 surround to form a positioning space. The positioning space is used to fix and place materials. The limiting plate 21 has a positioning opening 211 in the middle, and an opening 212 is provided on one side of the positioning opening 211.

[0066] In a specific example, the plurality of first positioning members 22 are disposed on the outer periphery of the positioning port 211, and the first positioning members 22 protrude above the surface of the limiting plate 21. For example, the first positioning members 22 are disposed at the four corners of the positioning port 211.

[0067] In some embodiments, the bracket 431 is provided with a second positioning member 4311 and a third positioning member 4312. The second positioning member 4311 is located at the upper end of the bracket 431, and the third positioning member 4312 is located on the outer periphery of the bracket 431. The second positioning member 4311 is used to lift the material above the bracket 431, and the third positioning member 4312 is used to prevent the material from falling off the bracket 431 during the movement of the bearing assembly 43.

[0068] In the above example, when the bracket 431 on the bearing assembly 43 moves toward the shelf 2, the second positioning member 4311 can move the material above the positioning port 211 through the opening 212. At this time, the upper end face of the bracket 431 is located below the limiting plate 21, and the material placed on the second positioning member 4311 is higher than the limiting plate 21 and higher than the first positioning member 22. Thus, the bracket 431 and the shelf 2 will not interfere with each other. When the material is located at the positioning port 211, the auxiliary mechanism 3 drives the bearing assembly 43 to move, or the second driving member and the second transmission member drive the bearing assembly 43 to move, so that the material enters the positioning space and is fixed.

[0069] In a specific example, when the auxiliary mechanism 3 drives the bearing assembly 43 to move vertically, and the second driving member and the second transmission member drive the bearing assembly 43 to move horizontally to store materials, the auxiliary mechanism 3 drives the bearing assembly 43 to bring the materials to the height position of a certain shelf 2. Then, the second driving member and the second transmission member drive the bearing assembly 43 to move towards the opening 212 of the shelf 2. The vertical and horizontal travel of the bearing assembly 43 are designed according to the first driving member, the second driving member, the height of the shelf 2, etc. When the bearing assembly 43 is detected to have reached the designated position of the shelf 2, the auxiliary mechanism 3 is controlled to drive the bearing assembly 43 to move downward by a set distance, thereby placing the materials into the shelf 2. Then, the second driving member and the second transmission member are controlled to drive the bearing assembly 43 to reset.

[0070] In a specific example, the frame 1 is provided with at least one loading / unloading window 102. The loading / unloading window 102 is used to place materials onto the bracket 431 of the carrying component 43 and to remove materials from the bracket 431. Material boxes are placed and removed from the same window, with the order being from top to bottom and from left to right; the order of removal is the reverse. The frame 1 is equipped with an electrical control box 5 and a touch screen 6 to control the drive components on the auxiliary mechanism 3 and the transport mechanism 4.

[0071] The touchscreen 6 stores information about the control system connected to the electrical control box 5, controlling the operation of the first and second drive components, and pre-stores the numbers and coordinate positioning information of all the shelves 2 on the rack. Sensors can also be added to the shelves 2 to detect whether materials are stored there. Alternatively, based on the actions of the first and second drive components, the control system can mark shelves 2 without materials and shelves 2 with materials. After materials are placed on the carrying component 43, the control system is activated to confirm the current position of the carrying component 43 and the coordinate information of the target shelf where the materials are stored. Based on this, the system plans and determines the transport path for the first and second drive components to move the carrying component to the target shelf. When the carried item reaches the target shelf 2, the system controls the first or second drive component to move the carrying component downwards by a set distance, storing the materials on the shelf 2. Finally, the system controls the first or second drive component to reset to the pick-up / placement window to begin the next round of material storage.

[0072] Similarly, when retrieving materials, select the corresponding shelf 2 from the touch screen, automatically plan the material transport path, and after the carrying component 43 arrives at the corresponding shelf 2, lift the material away from the shelf 2 and then move the material to the pick-up and drop-off window.
