Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of processing technology, and in particular to pallet processing systems and methods. Background Technology

[0002] Pallets are a medium that transforms static goods into dynamic goods; they are cargo platforms, and moreover, movable platforms, or mobile ground. Goods that lose their flexibility when placed on the ground immediately gain mobility and become flexible, flowing goods once loaded onto pallets, because goods on pallets are always in a ready-to-move state. Pallets not only significantly improve loading and unloading efficiency, but their implementation also changes the form of warehouse buildings, the structure of ships, the loading and unloading facilities of railways and other modes of transportation, and management organization.

[0003] According to statistics, my country's plastic pallet inventory was approximately 720 million pieces in 2022. Currently, pallet production is increasing by about 20 million pieces annually, with plastic pallets showing the largest increase due to their high dimensional accuracy and ease of processing. Plastic pallets are manufactured through injection molding. After injection molding, multiple sprue marks from the initial injection process remain on the pallet, which need to be removed from the finished product. Currently, these sprue marks are removed manually, but these are coarse and numerous, making manual cutting labor-intensive and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a pallet processing system and method that can improve the efficiency of post-processing of pallets.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a pallet processing system for post-processing a formed pallet, wherein the formed pallet includes sprue material, and the post-processing includes shearing the sprue material. The pallet processing system includes: The positioning mechanism includes a first positioning component for positioning the pallet in a first direction and a second positioning component for positioning the pallet in a second direction at an angle to the first direction. The first positioning component and the second positioning component are used to position and fix the pallet. A shearing device, comprising a shearing moving mechanism and a shearing mechanism connected to the shearing moving mechanism; The control device includes a storage mechanism and a control mechanism. The storage mechanism stores the coordinate information of all the sprue materials after the pallet is positioned. The control mechanism is used to control the shearing moving mechanism to move to the shearing mechanism in a certain order according to the coordinate information of the sprue materials stored in the storage mechanism, and to shear each sprue material one by one.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the control mechanism positions the pallet using a positioning mechanism, determines the coordinates of each sprue material on the pallet based on the positioning, and stores them in a storage mechanism. The control mechanism then controls the shearing mechanism to move sequentially to the position of each sprue material for shearing, based on the coordinate information of the sprue material. This technical solution offers accurate positioning, high shearing efficiency, and good consistency, thereby increasing the output of finished pallet products and reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0007] In conjunction with the first aspect, a further solution includes a groove in the formed pallet, and the post-processing includes installing an anti-slip pad in the groove. The pallet processing system also includes an installation device, which includes an installation moving mechanism and an installation mechanism connected to the installation moving mechanism. The storage mechanism also stores the coordinate information of all the grooves after the pallet is positioned. The control mechanism is used to control the installation moving mechanism to move to the installation mechanism in a certain order according to the coordinate information of the grooves stored in the storage mechanism, corresponding to each groove one by one, and installing the anti-slip pad in the groove.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the control mechanism controls the installation and moving mechanism to drive the installation mechanism to correspond with each groove in a certain sequence according to the groove coordinate information in the storage mechanism, and install the anti-slip pad in the groove. In order to prevent the anti-slip pad from detaching from the pallet during use, the anti-slip pad and the groove are generally connected by an interference fit or an anti-detachment structure, so the installation of the anti-slip pad is very difficult. The technical solution of this application has accurate positioning, high installation efficiency and good consistency, which improves the output of finished pallets and reduces the labor intensity of workers.

[0009] In conjunction with the first aspect, a further embodiment of the positioning mechanism includes a support surface for supporting the pallet and positioning the pallet in the thickness direction. The first positioning component is connected to the support surface, and the second positioning component is connected to the support surface and can drive the pallet to move and be fixed on the support surface in the second direction.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the pallet is placed on the support surface and transported along the first direction to contact the first positioning component, which positions the pallet in the first direction. The second positioning component drives the pallet to move in the second direction and fixes it in position. The support surface, the first positioning component, and the second positioning component can limit all degrees of freedom of the pallet, resulting in a high degree of automation and accuracy in positioning, facilitating accurate subsequent shearing processes.

[0011] In conjunction with the first aspect, a further solution is provided whereby the first positioning component is adjustable relative to the support surface in the direction of the normal to the support surface, and the first positioning component includes a first positioning surface; the second positioning component includes a second positioning surface fixedly connected to the support surface and a positioning drive component disposed opposite to the positioning surface, and the storage mechanism determines the coordinate information of the sprue material based on the intersection of the first positioning surface and the second positioning surface on the support surface as the origin.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the distance between the first positioning component and the supporting surface is adjustable, which can adapt to the positioning of pallets of different sizes. The first positioning surface positions one side of the pallet, and the second positioning surface positions the other side of the pallet. The positioning drive component positions and fixes the pallet. The first and second positioning surfaces can serve as two axes of a coordinate system, facilitating the accurate determination of the coordinates of the sprue material on the pallet.

[0013] In conjunction with the first aspect, a further solution is provided whereby the shearing mechanism includes a material taking mechanism and an openable shearing port. The material taking mechanism includes a negative pressure component and a negative pressure channel connected to the negative pressure component. A suction port is provided at one end of the negative pressure channel away from the negative pressure component, and the suction port corresponds to the shearing port.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the openable shearing port is used to shear the sprue material, and the material handling mechanism uses negative pressure to extract the sheared sprue material, which facilitates the unified recycling of the sprue material and maintains the cleanliness of the working environment.

[0015] In conjunction with the first aspect, a further embodiment includes a limiting mechanism that limits the shearing mechanism to an extreme position near the positioning mechanism in a direction perpendicular to both the first and second directions. When the shearing mechanism is at the extreme position, the shearing opening corresponds to the root position of the sprue material.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the limit position can accurately limit the position of the shearing nozzle on the sprue material, ensuring the consistency of the shearing position.

[0017] In conjunction with the first aspect, a further embodiment includes a mounting mechanism comprising a rotary drive and a mounting drive connected to the mounting moving mechanism. The drive end of the rotary drive is connected to a mounting plate, and the mounting plate is provided with multiple plugs. The axes of the multiple plugs are at the same distance from the rotation axis of the rotary drive, and the drive center line of the mounting drive intersects substantially with the rotation trajectory of the plugs.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the plug is used to place the anti-slip pad. The rotational drive drives the mounting plate to rotate so that the anti-slip pad on each plug corresponds to the mounting drive. The mounting drive pushes the anti-slip pad into the groove. The mounting mechanism and the mounting moving mechanism cooperate. Every time the mounting moving mechanism moves to a different position, the mounting plate rotates once, and the mounting drive performs a pushing action to press the anti-slip pad into the groove. The mounting moving mechanism drives the mounting mechanism to move sequentially to each groove and press the anti-slip pad into the groove. The entire process is fully automated, with high production efficiency, accurate anti-slip pad installation, and reduced risk of accidental damage to the pallet caused by manual installation.

[0019] In conjunction with the first aspect, a further embodiment of the installation device includes a feeding mechanism, which includes a pushing component and a rotatable rotating disk. The rotating disk is provided with multiple positioning slots for placing the anti-slip pads, and the positioning slots correspond one-to-one with the plugs. The pushing component is used to feed the anti-slip pads into the positioning slots one by one after each rotation of the rotating disk.

[0020] Through the above technical solution, the anti-slip mats can be automatically placed into the rotating disk via a feeding structure. The installation moving mechanism drives the installation mechanism to move, aligning the plug with each anti-slip mat in the rotating disk. Then, the installation moving mechanism moves the installation mechanism closer to the rotating disk, inserting the plug into the central hole of the anti-slip mat. The anti-slip mats are made of elastic rubber, and the plug and the central hole of the anti-slip mat are interference-fitted, ensuring that the anti-slip mat will not detach from the plug even after the installation mechanism moves away from the rotating disk. Because the installation mechanism can grasp multiple anti-slip mats at once, it eliminates the need for individual grasping during installation, thus improving the installation efficiency of the anti-slip mats.

[0021] Secondly, this application provides another pallet processing system for post-processing a formed pallet, wherein the formed pallet includes a groove, and an anti-slip pad is installed in the groove. The pallet processing system includes: The positioning mechanism includes a first positioning component for positioning the pallet in a first direction and a second positioning component for positioning the pallet in a second direction at an angle to the first direction. The first positioning component and the second positioning component are used to position and fix the pallet. The installation device includes an installation moving mechanism and an installation mechanism connected to the installation moving mechanism; The control device includes a storage mechanism and a control mechanism. The storage mechanism stores the coordinate information of all the grooves after the pallet is positioned. The control mechanism is used to control the installation moving mechanism to move to the installation mechanism in a certain order according to the coordinate information of the grooves stored in the storage mechanism, and to correspond to each groove one by one, and to control the installation mechanism to install the anti-slip pad in the groove.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation and moving mechanism drives the installation mechanism to move sequentially to each groove and press the anti-slip pad into the groove. The whole process is fully automated, with high production efficiency and accurate installation of the anti-slip pad, reducing the risk of accidental damage to the pallet caused by manual installation.

[0023] Thirdly, this application provides a pallet processing method, applicable to the pallet processing system described in the first aspect, the pallet processing method comprising the following steps: The positioning mechanism positions and fixes the pallet in the first and second directions; Obtain and store the coordinates of the sprue material and the groove on the pallet after positioning; The shearing device cuts the sprue material on the pallet one by one according to the stored coordinate information of the sprue material; The installation device installs the anti-slip pads one by one into the grooves according to the stored groove coordinate information.

[0024] The pallet processing method of this application significantly improves the processing efficiency of post-processing of pallets and reduces the labor intensity of workers.

[0025] In summary, this application has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The pallet processing system of this application has high shearing efficiency and good consistency, which increases the output of finished pallet products and reduces the labor intensity of workers.

[0026] 2.

[0035] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0036] Example 1 Please see Figure 1 This embodiment discloses a pallet processing system for post-processing a formed pallet 7. The formed pallet 7 includes sprue material and grooves. The post-processing includes cutting the sprue material and installing an anti-slip pad 71 in the groove.

[0037] The pallet processing system includes a positioning mechanism 1, a shearing device 2, an installation device, a control device 4, a feeding mechanism 6, and a conveying mechanism 3. The installation device includes an installation mechanism 5 and a feeding mechanism 6. The conveying mechanism 3 transports the pallet 7 to the shearing station and the installation station. At the shearing station, the shearing device 2 shears the sprue material on the pallet 7. At the installation station, the installation mechanism 5 presses the anti-slip pad 71 into the groove. The control device 4 includes a storage mechanism and a control mechanism. The storage mechanism stores the coordinate information of all sprue material and grooves after the pallet 7 is positioned. The control mechanism controls the shearing movement mechanism to move in a certain order according to the coordinate information of the sprue material stored in the storage mechanism, to the shearing mechanism to correspond with each sprue material and shear it, and controls the installation mechanism 5 to move in a certain order according to the coordinate information of the grooves stored in the storage mechanism, to the installation mechanism 5 to correspond with each groove and install the anti-slip pad 71 into the groove.

[0038] Please see Figure 2The positioning mechanism 1 includes a first positioning component 11 for positioning the pallet 7 in a first direction and a second positioning component 12 for positioning the pallet 7 in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first positioning component 11 and the second positioning component 12 are used to position and fix the pallet 7. The positioning mechanism 1 also includes a support surface. The conveying mechanism 3 is rotatably equipped with multiple support rollers 31. The support rollers 31 are used to support the upper surface of the pallet 7 to form a support surface. The support surface is used to support the pallet 7 and position the pallet 7 in the thickness direction. The support rollers 31 are connected to a motor, and the motor drives the support rollers 31 to rotate so as to move and convey the pallet 7 on the support surface.

[0039] The first positioning component 11 is adjustablely connected to the conveying mechanism 3, and its distance relative to the supporting surface is adjustable in the normal direction of the supporting surface. The first positioning component 11 includes a first positioning surface 111. The second positioning component 12 is adjustablely mounted on the conveying mechanism 3. The second positioning component 12 includes a second positioning surface 121 fixedly connected to the conveying mechanism 3 and a positioning drive component 122 disposed opposite to the positioning surface. The driving end of the positioning drive component 122 is connected to a positioning plate 123, and the positioning drive component 122 can drive the positioning plate 123 to move closer to or away from the second positioning surface 121. The storage mechanism determines the coordinate information of the sprue material based on the intersection of the first positioning surface 111 and the second positioning surface 121 on the supporting surface as the origin.

[0040] See Figure 3 The shearing device 2 includes a shearing moving mechanism and a shearing mechanism connected to the shearing moving mechanism. The shearing moving mechanism includes a first moving mechanism 23, a transverse rail 24 connected to the first moving mechanism 23, a second moving mechanism 25 connected to the transverse rail 24, and a lifting rail 26 connected to the second moving mechanism 25. The lifting rail 26 is connected to the shearing mechanism. The shearing mechanism includes a material picking mechanism and an openable shearing port 221. The material picking mechanism includes a negative pressure component and a negative pressure channel 21 connected to the negative pressure component. The end of the negative pressure channel 21 away from the negative pressure component is provided with a suction port 211. The suction port 211 corresponds to the shearing port 221 and can promptly suck away the sheared sprue material and collect it centrally through the negative pressure channel 21. The first moving mechanism 23 drives the transverse rail 24 and the second moving mechanism 25 to move along the length direction of the conveying mechanism 3. The second moving mechanism 25 can drive the lifting rail 26 to move along the transverse rail 24 in the width direction of the conveying mechanism 3. The second moving mechanism 25 can also drive the lifting rail 26 to move towards and away from the conveying mechanism 3.

[0041] The shearing mechanism also includes a first limiting mechanism 261 and a second limiting mechanism 262, both of which are fixed on the lifting rail 26. When the second moving mechanism 25 drives the lifting rail 26 to move, if the transverse rail 24 or the second moving mechanism 25 touches the first limiting mechanism 261 or the second limiting mechanism 262, the second moving mechanism 25 will stop driving the lifting rail 26 to move. The first limiting mechanism 261 limits the shearing mechanism to the extreme position close to the positioning mechanism 1 in a direction perpendicular to both the first and second directions. When the shearing mechanism is at the extreme position, the shearing opening 221 corresponds to the root position of the sprue. The second limiting mechanism 262 limits the shearing mechanism to the extreme position away from the positioning mechanism 1 in a direction perpendicular to both the first and second directions.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first moving mechanism 23 and the second moving mechanism 25 adopt a gear and rack transmission mechanism, but can also adopt a screw drive or belt drive.

[0043] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The mounting mechanism 5 includes a rotary drive 52 and a mounting drive 53 connected to the mounting moving mechanism 51. The mounting moving mechanism 51 can drive the mounting drive 53 to move in the length direction, width direction, and direction towards or away from the conveying mechanism 3. The driving end of the rotary drive 52 is connected to a mounting disk 54, and the rotary drive 52 can drive the mounting disk 54 to rotate. The mounting disk 54 is provided with multiple plugs 542 for inserting and removing the anti-slip pad 71. The axes of the multiple plugs 542 are equidistant from the rotation axis of the rotary drive 52, and the axes of the multiple plugs 542 are located on a circumference of the same radius.

[0044] The drive end of the mounting drive 53 is concentrically connected to a pusher 531. The centerline of the pusher 531 substantially intersects the rotation trajectory of the plug 542. The mounting drive 53 can drive the pusher 531 to move linearly closer to or further away from the plug 542, so that the anti-slip pad 71 is detached from the plug 542 and pressed into the groove on the pallet 7. The anti-slip pad 71 has a flange 711, the diameter of which is larger than the protrusion 541 connecting the plug 542 and the mounting plate 54. The pusher 531 has a notch 532 to avoid the protrusion 541. When the mounting drive 53 drives the pusher 531 to move closer to the anti-slip pad 71, the pusher 531 can avoid the protrusion 541 to push the anti-slip pad 71 detach from the plug 542.

[0045] In this embodiment, the mounting and moving mechanism 51 adopts a gear and rack transmission mechanism, but a screw drive or belt drive can also be used. The rotary drive component 52 is a servo motor, and the mounting drive component 53 is a cylinder. In specific applications, the relevant drive components can be selected as electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic drive mechanisms as needed.

[0046] Please see Figure 6 The installation device also includes a feeding mechanism 6, which comprises a vibratory feeder 61, a pushing assembly 62, and a rotatable rotating disk 63. The pushing assembly 62 is located between the vibratory feeder 61 and the rotating disk 63. The vibratory feeder 61 is connected to a vibration channel 611, through which the anti-slip pads 71 ​​inside the vibratory feeder 61 are neatly arranged and conveyed to the pushing assembly 62. The rotating disk 63 is provided with multiple positioning slots 631 for placing the anti-slip pads 71. When the installation moving mechanism 51 drives the installation disk 54 to pick up materials, the positioning slots 631 and the plugs 542 can correspond one-to-one. The pushing assembly 62 is used to feed the anti-slip pads 71 ​​one by one into the positioning slots 631 after each rotation of the rotating disk 63.

[0047] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The feeding assembly 62 includes a first feeding member 621 and a first feeding drive member 622. The first feeding member 621 is provided with a groove 6211, which is used to accommodate anti-slip pads 71 ​​and to carry the anti-slip pads 71 ​​out of the vibration channel 611 one by one. The first feeding drive member 622 can drive the first feeding member 621 to move in the tangential direction of the rotating disk 63. The first feeding drive member 622 is a cylinder, or it can be an electric or hydraulic drive mechanism.

[0048] Please see Figures 6-8 The pusher assembly 62 also includes a second pusher 623, which can slide within the slide groove 6211 to push the anti-slip pad 71 within the slide groove 6211 into the positioning groove 631.

[0049] The working process of the feeding mechanism 6 will be explained below.

[0050] Please see Figure 9 The anti-slip pads 71 ​​in the vibration channel 611 are arranged neatly in the same direction and are conveyed one by one to the chute 6211 of the first pusher 621.

[0051] Please see Figure 10 The first pusher 621 drives the anti-slip pad 71 to move along the tangential direction of the rotating disk 63 to the position corresponding to the positioning groove 631. At this time, the second pusher 623, the anti-slip pad 71 and the positioning groove 631 are in the same straight line.

[0052] Please see Figure 11The second pusher 623 passes through the groove 6211 of the first pusher 621 and pushes the anti-slip pad 71 into the corresponding positioning groove 631, thus completing one anti-slip pad 71 insertion action. After one action is completed, the first pusher 621 and the second pusher 623 are reset, and the rotating disk 63 rotates at an angle to rotate the next empty positioning groove 631 to the installation position corresponding to the second pusher 623. This cycle is repeated to ensure that all positioning grooves 631 in the rotating disk 63 are filled with anti-slip pads 71.

[0055] The shearing device 2 shears the sprue material on the pallet 7 one by one according to the stored coordinate information of the sprue material.
