Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0083] In this invention, the first direction is always the X direction, and the second direction is always the Y direction.

[0084] like Figures 1-19 As shown, the present invention provides a lightweight vehicle mounting system, comprising:

[0085] The feeding buffer assembly 1 includes a feeding frame 11 and a buffer frame 12, and also includes a feeding roller line 12 and a buffer roller line 15 respectively disposed on the feeding frame 11 and the buffer frame 12 for conveying materials along the first direction X, a feeding centering clamp 13 disposed on the feeding frame 11 for placing and positioning the conveyed materials, and two buffer centering clamps 17 disposed on the buffer frame 12 for centering and positioning the materials in the buffer area.

[0086] The buffer pusher assembly 3 is used to push and distribute materials to the buffer areas on both sides of the buffer roller line 15, and push the buffered materials that have been aligned and positioned by the buffer centering clamp 17 in the first direction X; the buffer area is provided with multiple universal balls 16 to reduce the friction between the materials and the buffer area platform.

[0087] The column frame assembly 2, which is installed on the buffer frame 12, is used to install and support the buffer pusher assembly 3. It includes a column frame 21 and a lifting chain 26. Side lifting assemblies 4 are provided on both sides of the column frame 21 perpendicular to the second direction Y. The lifting chain 26 is connected to the side lifting assembly 4 to drive the side lifting assembly 4 to rise and fall. A horizontally movable translation beam 45 is provided on the side lifting assembly 4.

[0088] The discharge lifting assembly 5 is located at the front end of the translation beam 45 and includes a lifting slide 53 that can be lifted.

[0089] The discharge assembly 6 is used to receive the material pushed out by the buffer push assembly 3. It includes two discharge centering clamps 62 for centering and positioning the material, a discharge sluice assembly 63 and a discharge plate assembly 65 for pushing out and stacking the centered material, and a discharge assembly frame 61 for installing the various components in the discharge assembly 6. The two ends of the discharge assembly frame 61 are fixedly connected to the lifting sluice 53.

[0090] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, the feed centering clamp 13 includes:

[0091] The feeding centering clamp frame 131 is fixedly connected to both sides of the feeding frame 11 by supports set at the bottom, and is used to support the various components of the feeding centering clamp 13.

[0092] The feed clamp assembly 132 includes a forward lead screw 1322, a forward / reverse lead screw drive device 1324, a reverse lead screw 1323, and a feed clamp straight guide rail 1326, all mounted on a feed clamp frame 1325. The forward / reverse lead screw drive device 1324 drives the forward lead screw 1322 and the reverse lead screw 1323 to rotate. The forward lead screw 1322 and the reverse lead screw 1323 rotate in the same direction but have opposite external thread directions, causing the first lead screw seat 1327 mounted on the forward lead screw 1322 and the second lead screw seat 1328 mounted on the reverse lead screw 1323 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. In operation, a feeding clamp 1321 is connected below both the first lead screw seat 1327 and the second lead screw seat 1328. The top of the feeding clamp 1321 is fixedly connected to the slider of the feeding clamp straight guide rail 1326.

This is used to achieve compatibility with the position and direction of the conveyed material. Regardless of whether the material is centered on the feed roller line 12, the photoelectric switch sends a signal to guide the feed clamp assembly 132 to translate to the corresponding position and perform centering positioning. At the same time, after centering positioning is completed, the length, width and orientation of the material can be determined according to the distance between the photoelectric switch and the two feed clamp plates 1321. Then, the PLC system can automatically determine and control the buffer push assembly 3 to move the material to the material buffer area on the left or right side of the buffer roller line 15 according to the palletizing requirements.

The discharge assembly 6 can realize the simultaneous centering, positioning and stacking of multiple materials side by side.

[0139] This loading system is generally installed on a gantry crane and can achieve efficient palletizing. One palletizing process of this loading system is as follows: 1) The feeding roller conveyor 12 receives the material and drives the material to run along the first direction X; 2) The photoelectric switch identifies the position of the material and guides the feeding clamp assembly 132 to the front of the material to clamp and center the material; 3) After centering and positioning, the material runs along the first direction X to the buffer roller conveyor 15 and is pushed by the material feeding assembly 35 to the material buffer area on both sides of the buffer roller conveyor 15 for buffering; 4) The buffer centering clamp 17 performs centering and positioning processing on the material in the buffer area. At this time, the pusher plate 362 is in front of the material to limit the material in the first direction X; 5) After the material in the buffer area is aligned and positioned, the pusher plate 362 rises and moves to a low position behind the material, pushing the material as a whole onto the discharge assembly frame 61; 6) The discharge alignment clamp 62 positions the material on the discharge assembly frame 61, at which time the discharge plate 653 is in front of the material to limit the material in the first direction X; 7) According to the specific position of the material stacking, the system adjusts the position of the discharge assembly frame 61 in the first direction X and the vertical direction through the side lifting assembly 4 and the discharge lifting assembly 5, so that the discharge assembly frame 61 is at the front end of the stacking area; 8) The discharge plate 653 rises and moves to a low position behind the material, pushing the material as a whole onto the unloading area.

[0140] It should be noted that the material mentioned in this invention refers to cubic or cuboid box material; synchronous motion in this invention refers to the simultaneous movement of two components at the same speed; the equipment used for centering and limiting the material in this loading system is equipped with sensors for detecting whether the material has been centered and positioned and for preventing excessive compression of the material; and an anti-collision sensor strip is also provided on the outside of the discharge component frame 61 to prevent the discharge component 6 from colliding with other equipment.

It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions and substitutions can be made without departing from the inventive concept, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
