Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of unstacking, in particular to an unstacking device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Generally, in the production operation, due to the limitation of site area, most of the time, the materials need to be stacked layer by layer, such as some transport racks, which are stacked by multiple layers of frames to reduce the occupation of the site area. The process of disassembling the layer-by-layer stacked materials (such as transport racks) can also be called unstacking. Specifically, the manufacturer takes out the materials layer by layer by the unstacking equipment, places them in other storage points, loosens them, and then controls the unstacking equipment to return to the original position to take out the materials layer by layer again. Through multiple process cycles, the final disassembly of the layer-by-layer stacked materials is completed.

[0003] In related technologies, the unstacking equipment disassembles the materials by providing a linear driving assembly to control the lowering of the clamping or suction cup clamping piece to achieve the clamping and lifting of the surface materials. However, since the unstacking process involves clamping and loosening of the materials, such unstacking equipment often has two sets of linear driving assemblies, one set of linear driving assembly is used to drive the movement of the clamped materials, and the other set of linear driving assembly is used to drive the clamping and loosening of the clamping piece.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned unstacking equipment provided with two sets of linear driving assemblies requires a large installation space, which occupies a large volume of the unstacking equipment. In addition, it also increases the processing cost of the unstacking equipment. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] In order to make the above objectives, features and advantages of the present application more apparent, specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be practiced in a number of ways beyond the specific embodiments described and claimed herein, and it is understood that it can have applicable prior art freedom within the scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of an unstacking device 100 in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The unstacking device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a support frame 110, a guide assembly 120, a driving assembly 130, and a locking assembly 140. The guide assembly 120, the driving assembly 130, and the locking assembly 140 are all mounted in the support frame 110.

[0039] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , the guide assembly 120 is arranged to extend along the height direction X of the support frame 110. The guide assembly 120 includes a first guide 121 and a second guide 122. The first guide 121 and the second guide 122 are arranged to be staggered along the width direction Y of the support frame 110. The first guide 121 is arranged close to the material, and the second guide 122 is arranged away from the material (such as a transport rack) relative to the first guide 121. The first guide 121 and the second guide 122 can be guide plates, guide rails, etc.

[0040] As shown in Figure 3As shown, the driving assembly 130 is connected with the locking assembly 140, and the locking assembly 140 moves along the height direction X of the support frame under the driving of the driving assembly 130. When the locking assembly 140 moves relative to the support frame 110 under the driving of the driving assembly 130, the locking assembly 140 can switch the guidance between the first guide 121 and the second guide 122, so that the locking assembly 140 has a first movement state and a second movement state.

[0041] It can be understood that, since the first guide 121 and the second guide 122 are arranged staggered in the width direction Y, when the locking assembly 140 and the first guide 121 are matched, the locking assembly 140 is arranged in the direction close to the material in the width direction Y, and at this time, the locking assembly 140 is in the first movement state. When the locking assembly 140 is in the first movement state, the locking assembly 140 can be locked with the material.

[0042] When the locking assembly 140 and the second guide 122 are matched, the locking assembly 140 is arranged in the direction away from the material in the width direction Y, and at this time, the locking assembly 140 is in the second movement state. When the locking assembly 140 is in the second movement state, the locking assembly 140 is arranged away from the material, so that the locking assembly 140 is in the unlocked state with the material.

[0043] In order to facilitate understanding, the following will be described in detail in combination with an example of the use scene of the unstacking device 100.

[0044] It is assumed that the second guide 122 is arranged close to the bottom of the support frame 110, and the first guide 121 is arranged away from the bottom of the support frame 110 relative to the second guide 122.

[0045] When the unstacking device 100 needs to unstack the material, the driving assembly 130 drives the movement of the locking assembly 140 from the second guide 122 to the first guide 121, so that the locking assembly 140 gradually changes from the unlocked state of being arranged away from the material to the locked state of being connected with the material, and the locking assembly 140 continues to move on the first guide 121, so as to realize the fixation of the material by the locking assembly 140. At this time, the upper layer of material is separated from the lower layer of material, and then the lower layer of material can be moved away, so as to realize the unstacking of the lower layer of material.

[0046] When the disassembly of the lower layer of materials is achieved, the driving assembly 130 can drive the movement of the locking assembly 140 from the first guide 121 to the second guide 122, so that the locking assembly 140 is switched from the locked state connected with the materials to the unlocked state spaced apart from the materials, and through the movement of the locking assembly 140 on the second guide 122, the locking assembly 140 is completely unlocked and separated from the upper layer of materials, at this time the upper layer of materials can be removed, through the above operation, the complete separation and disassembly of the upper layer of materials and the lower layer of materials is achieved.

[0047] In this way, when the driving assembly 130 drives the locking assembly 140 to move in the height direction X, since the locking assembly 140 can be guided and matched on the guide assembly 120, the position switching of the locking assembly 140 in the width direction Y can be achieved based on the different setting positions of the first guide 121 and the second guide 122 in the width direction Y, and then the switching of the mechanical locking assembly 140 and the materials between the locked and unlocked states is achieved, without the need to set other linear driving members in the width direction Y, which is beneficial to save the installation space of the disassembly device 100 and reduce the processing cost of the disassembly device 100.

[0048] It should be noted that the number of the driving assembly 130 in the above embodiment can be one, two or more than three, which is not limited here. Further, the guiding and matching of the locking assembly 140 and the guide assembly 120 can be but not limited to abutting guiding, but also can be limiting sliding guiding through guide rails, magnetic attraction, etc. In addition, the first guide 121 and the second guide 122 can be connected or spaced apart.

[0049] In an example, the first guide 121 and the second guide 122 are spaced apart. Wherein the locking assembly 140 and the guide assembly 120 are magnetically guided and matched. Specifically, when the locking assembly 140 is in the first movement state, the first guide 121 is in the magnetic state and the second guide 122 is in the non-magnetic state, so that the locking assembly 140 is guided and matched with the first guide 121 by magnetic force. When the locking assembly 140 is switched from the first movement state to the second movement state, the first guide 121 is in the non-magnetic state and the second guide 122 is in the magnetic state, due to the action of the magnetic force, the locking assembly 140 is magnetically attracted and fixed by the second guide 122, and through the driving of the driving assembly 130, the locking assembly 140 is guided and matched on the second guide 122. In this embodiment, the driving assembly 130 can be a combination of a flexible transmission member and a motor. The magnetic force of the first guide 121 and the second guide 122 can be provided by an electromagnet, a permanent magnet, etc., which is not limited here.

[0050] In another example, as Figure 4As shown, the first guide 121 and the second guide 122 are connected and arranged. Specifically, the guide assembly 120 further comprises a third guide 123. One end of the third guide 123 is connected with the first guide 121, and the other end is connected with the second guide 122. The locking assembly 140 is guided and matched with the third guide 123, so that the locking assembly 140 is switched between the first movement state and the second movement state.

[0051] In this way, through the guiding and matching of the locking assembly 140 and the third guide 123, the switching between the first movement state and the second movement state on the third guide 123 can be completed by the locking assembly 140, which improves the movement stability of the locking assembly 140 when switching between the first movement state and the second movement state, thereby improving the movement stability of the locking assembly 140 and the material when locking and loosening.

[0052] Further, unlike when the first guide 121 and the second guide 122 are arranged at intervals, the locking assembly 140 needs to transition and switch between the first guide 121 and the second guide 122 by itself, at which time the gap between the first guide 121 and the second guide 122 cannot be set too large, resulting in a relatively limited range of movement of the locking assembly 140 when locking and unlocking. The arrangement of the third guide 123 allows the offset gap between the first guide 121 and the second guide 122 to be set large enough, so that the active distance of the locking assembly 140 when switching between the first movement state and the second movement state is large enough, and thus even when the installation distance between the material and the first guide 121 is large, the locking assembly 140 can still maintain locking and unlocking cooperation with the material, thereby widening the use scenarios of the unstacking device 100.

[0053] It should be noted that when the locking assembly 140 is in the first movement state and the second movement state, the movement trajectory of the locking assembly 140 can be a linear movement trajectory or a curved movement trajectory.

[0054] In combination with any of the above embodiments of the locking assembly 140, as shown in Figure 5 As shown, the locking assembly 140 comprises a rotating body 141, a locking member 142, and a guide matching member 143. The rotating body 141 is provided with a first side 1411 and a second side 1412 opposite to each other along the width direction Y, and the first side 1411 is arranged away from the second guide 122. The second side 1412 is arranged close to the second guide 122. At least part of the locking member 142 is protruding from the first side 1411, so that the locking member 142 can be protruding from the second side 1412.

[0055] Further, the rotating body 141 is drivingly connected with the driving assembly 130, so that the driving assembly 130 drives the synchronous movement of the locking member 142 and the guiding matching member 143 along the height direction X through the rotating body 141. One end of the rotating body 141 is rotationally connected with the driving assembly 130, and the guiding matching member 143 is in guiding connection with the guiding assembly 120.

[0056] It can be understood that one end of the rotating body 141 is rotationally connected with the driving assembly 130, and at this time, the connection point of the rotating body 141 with the driving assembly 130 is equivalent to a fulcrum. Due to the staggered arrangement of the first guiding member 121 and the second guiding member 122 in the width direction Y, when the guiding matching member 143 moves to the guiding connection with the third guiding member 123, the guiding matching member 143 is gradually lifted on the third guiding member 123, and the lifting direction is towards the movement direction close to the material. The second side 1412 of the rotating body 141 is stressed, so that the other end of the rotating body 141 is rotated and lifted in the movement direction close to the material, so that the other end of the rotating body 141 is switched between at least the first position and the second position. When the rotating body 141 is in the first position, the locking member 142 is in locking connection with the material. When the rotating body 141 is in the second position, the locking member 142 is arranged in a spaced manner with the material.

[0057] In this way, through the rotational connection of the rotating body 141 and the driving assembly 130, and taking the guiding matching member 143 as the force receiving part, the rotation of the rotating body 141 is provided with a rotation vector. Compared with the rotation achieved by a linkage assembly, this design has a simpler structure, is convenient for processing, and is conducive to improving the processing efficiency.

[0058] In addition, the material is provided with a clamping part (such as a side wall, a hole, etc.). When the locking assembly 140 is hooked and locked with the clamping part of the material, the rotation of the rotating body 141 causes the movement track of the locking member 142 to be a circular arc curve, so that when the locking member 142 is clamped with the material, it can be obliquely inserted into the clamping part of the material from the low point, and then gradually hooked to achieve the abutting clamping of the material and the locking member 142. This avoids excessive blocking of the locking member 142 by other parts of the material (such as the side wall of the clamping part), improves the clamping effect of the locking member 142 and the material, and saves a lot of time on horizontal alignment, thereby improving the efficiency of unstacking.

[0059] Further, in one embodiment, it is found that Figure 4 As shown, the third guiding member 123 is provided with a slope structure 1231. One end of the slope structure 1231 is connected with the first guiding member 121, and the other end is connected with the second guiding member 122. In this way, the slope structure 1231 serves as a link between the first guiding member 121 and the second guiding member 122, and has a simple structure and is convenient to arrange.

[0060] It should be noted that the inclined surface structure 1231 can be, but is not limited to, an inclined straight surface, an inclined convex surface, or an inclined concave surface, etc. Any combination is not limited here.

[0061] In another embodiment, the movement trajectory of the locking member 142 can also be designed as an arc shape in the following manner. Specifically, the third guide member 123 is provided with a convex structure that protrudes in the first direction. The first direction is the direction from the second guide member 122 to the first guide member 121, and the first direction is parallel to the width direction Y. It can be understood that when the guide cooperating member 143 is guided and cooperated with the convex structure, the movement trajectory of the guide cooperating member 143 is designed as a curve, so that the movement trajectory of the locking assembly 140 is also designed as a curve.

[0062] In this way, when the movement trajectory of the locking assembly 140 is designed as a curve, the process of gradually transitioning from unlocking to locking of the locking assembly 140 and the material is facilitated, that is, gradually deepening from the bottom of the clamping portion of the material to the clamping portion to achieve the locking of the locking assembly 140 on the material, avoiding excessive blocking of the locking member 142 by other parts of the material, optimizing the clamping effect of the locking member 142 and the material, and without spending a lot of time on horizontal alignment of the clamping portion, improving the efficiency of the unstacking.

[0063] In combination with any of the above embodiments of the rotating body 141, it is found that Figure 5 The locking assembly 140 further comprises a transmission body 144. One end of the transmission body 144 is drivingly connected with the driving assembly 130, and the transmission body 144 is provided with at least two first cooperating holes 1441 arranged at intervals. The rotating body 141 is rotatably arranged with the first cooperating holes 1441.

[0064] In a specific embodiment, the locking assembly 140 further comprises a first rotating member. The first rotating member is fixedly arranged on the side of the rotating body 141 away from the locking member 142, and the first rotating member is inserted into the at least two first cooperating holes 1441, so that the rotating body 141 is rotatably cooperated with the first cooperating holes 1441 through the first rotating member. That is, in the present embodiment, the first rotating member is rotatably arranged in the at least two first cooperating holes 1441, so that the first rotating member rotates relative to the first cooperating holes 1441 to drive the rotating body 141 to rotate and switch between the first position and the second position. In this way, the first rotating member is simple in structure and easy to obtain, which is beneficial to simplify the machining process of the unstacking device 100. The first rotating member can be a rotating shaft, a rotating rod, etc.

[0065] In another specific embodiment, it is found that Figure 3The de-stacking device 100 comprises at least two locking assemblies 140. The at least two locking assemblies 140 are arranged side by side at intervals. One end of the rotating body 141, which is away from the locking piece 142, is provided with a second rotating piece. The second rotating piece is inserted and rotationally fitted with the first fitting hole 1441, so that the rotating body 141 is rotationally fitted with the transmission body 144 through the second rotating piece. The second rotating piece can be a rotating shaft, a rotating column, etc.

[0066] Therefore, due to the one-to-one correspondence between the second rotating piece and the first fitting hole 1441, even if the spacing between the two locking assemblies 140 of the de-stacking device 100 of different sizes is different, it is not necessary to connect the first fitting holes 1441 of different spacings by different sizes of the first rotating piece to achieve rotation. It is only necessary to install and fit the original second rotating piece with the first fitting hole 1441, which is beneficial to improve the adaptation scene of the de-stacking device 100 in the embodiment, and does not need to produce various sizes of the first rotating piece and other spare parts, thereby improving the production efficiency.

[0067] In some embodiments, the de-stacking device 100 comprises a driving assembly 130. Figure 5 The locking piece 142 comprises a first mounting body 1421 and a hook body 1422. One end of the first mounting body 1421 is connected with the rotating body 141, and the hook body 1422 is arranged close to the other end of the first mounting body 1421 and protrudes from the first mounting body 1421. The material is provided with a clamping portion. The hook body 1422 can abut and limit the side wall of the clamping portion to lock and fit the locking assembly 140 with the material.

[0068] That is, in the embodiment, the locking of the locking assembly 140 with the material is achieved by the abutting fit of the hook body 1422 with the clamping portion. Assuming that the clamping portion is a clamping recess or a clamping hole, the hook body 1422 can be inserted into the clamping recess, so that the hook body 1422 is fixed with the material. When the driving assembly 130 drives the locking assembly 140 to move along the first guide piece 121, the side edge of the hook body 1422 can abut and fit the inner side wall of the clamping recess to lock the material on the locking piece 142, thereby achieving the synchronous movement of the material and the locking assembly 140. Assuming that the clamping portion is the bottom surface of the material, the hook body 1422 can directly hook the bottom surface of the material, so that the bottom surface of the material abuts and fits with the hook body 1422, so that the hook body 1422 is fixed with the clamping portion, thereby achieving the synchronous disassembly of the locking assembly 140 and the layer of material.

[0069] Therefore, the abutting locking or the inserting locking of the material is achieved by the arrangement of the hook body 1422, which is simple in structure and convenient to process, and is different from the design of pneumatic clamping, which is beneficial to reduce the processing cost of the de-stacking device 100.

[0070] It should be noted that the hook body 1422 is installed on the first mounting body 1421. The hook body 1422 can be set perpendicular to the first mounting body 1421 or it can be set at an angle to the first mounting body 1421. No further restrictions are made here.

[0071] In other implementations, see back Figure 5 The hook body 1422 has a first end 1422a and a second end 1422b. The first end 1422a is bent and connected to one end of the first mounting body 1421. The first end 1422a to the second end 1422b are arranged in a direction away from the material.

[0072] Understandably, the hook body 1422 is inclined, which reduces the obstruction of the clamping part in the height direction X when the hook body 1422 is inserted into the clamping part, thus improving the locking efficiency between the hook body 1422 and the material. Furthermore, the inclination direction of the hook body 1422 gradually moves away from the material, which reduces the contact stimulation between the material and the hook body 1422 when the drive assembly 130 drives the locking assembly 140 to move along the direction of the first guide member 121. This facilitates rapid and synchronized movement of the material with the locking assembly 140, and prevents it from easily falling off, thus improving the locking stability of the locking assembly 140 in locking the material.

[0073] Furthermore, the first end 1422a to the second end 1422b are positioned away from the material, which helps the destacking device 100 improve the dismantling accuracy of the layered materials. Specifically, the position of the third guide 123 determines the material to be dismantled by the destacking device 100 at that position. Generally, multi-layered materials (such as transport racks) in a production workshop may be formed by stacking layers of materials (such as frame layers) of different widths. Assume that the materials are arranged in the order of first layer, second layer, and third layer from top to bottom. And the width of the third layer is greater than that of the first and second layers. The position of the third layer corresponds to the second guide 122. The second layer corresponds to the third guide 123, and the first layer corresponds to the first guide 121. At this time, the hook body 1422, which is vertically set or inclined from the first end 1422a to the second end 1422b towards the material, may hook and lock with the third layer, thereby dismantling the third layer. This would lock and lift all three layers of material (such as the entire transport rack), making it impossible to dismantle the material.

[0074] When the hook body 1422 is positioned with its first end 1422a to its second end 1422b facing away from the material, the second end 1422b of the hook body 1422 remains away from the third layer of material as the second guide 122 moves vertically along the height direction X. The second end 1422b cannot hook and lock the third layer until the locking component 140 moves to the second layer. Only then can the second end 1422b of the hook body 1422 rotate in the direction closer to the second layer, thereby locking the second layer. This allows for the simultaneous lifting of the second and first layers, facilitating the removal and disassembly of the third layer and achieving precise destacking.

[0075] Accordingly, in some embodiments, the destacking position of the destacking device 100 can be adjusted by the positioning of the third guide member 123. Specifically, the destacking device 100 also includes a height adjustment member connected to the guide assembly 120, allowing the guide assembly 120 to adjust its position in the height direction X. Thus, the position of the third guide member 123 can be adjusted by the height adjustment member, enabling precise disassembly of materials at different levels and improving disassembly accuracy.

[0076] It should be noted that the height adjustment component can be, but is not limited to, a Z-shaped height adjustment bracket, a pull-out telescopic rod, etc., and no further restrictions are imposed here.

[0077] Furthermore, in another embodiment, see back Figure 2 The guide fitting 143 includes a second mounting body 1431 and a rolling shaft 1432. The second mounting body 1431 is connected to the second side 1412. The rolling shaft 1432 is inserted into the second mounting body 1431 and is used to roll against the guide assembly 120, so that the locking assembly 140 is guided and engaged with the guide assembly 120 through the rolling shaft 1432.

[0078] Thus, the rolling shaft 1432 and the guide assembly 120 roll against each other to achieve guidance. Unlike direct sliding friction contact, the rolling contact method helps to reduce the guiding resistance between the locking assembly 140 and the guide assembly 120, thereby improving the movement efficiency of the locking assembly 140 and thus improving the destacking efficiency.

[0079] To improve the locking effect between the locking assembly 140 and the material, in other embodiments, the destacking device 100 includes at least two locking assemblies 140. The at least two locking assemblies 140 are disposed on the same side. A third guide member 123 is connected and disposed between the at least two locking assemblies 140. It is understood that by providing multiple locking assemblies 140, the mating area between the locking assembly 140 and the material can be increased, thereby improving the locking effect between the locking assembly 140 and the material, and thus ensuring that the material does not fall during destacking.

[0080] Further, in an embodiment, the unstacking device 100 further comprises a connecting piece 150. The connecting piece 150 is connected between at least two locking assemblies 140. In this way, the connecting piece 150 is arranged to be pulled by the locking assemblies 140 when the locking assemblies 140 move, thereby ensuring that the at least two locking assemblies 140 move synchronously, so that the at least two locking assemblies 140 can be locked or unlocked with the material synchronously, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the unstacking process.

[0081] In an example, the unstacking device 100 further comprises at least two guide assemblies 120. The at least two guide assemblies 120 are arranged side by side and spaced apart, and the guide assemblies 120 are arranged one-to-one with the locking assemblies 140. The at least two guide assemblies 120 can be mounted on the connecting piece 150. In this way, the guide assemblies 120 are arranged to guide the locking assemblies 140 one-to-one, and the guide assemblies 120 can be arranged to be different sizes, thereby reducing the size of the unstacking device 100 and reducing the weight of the unstacking device 100.

[0082] In combination with any of the above embodiments of the locking assembly 140, it is found that Figure 1 The unstacking device 100 comprises at least two drive assemblies 130. The at least two drive assemblies 130 are arranged opposite each other in the width direction Y and are arranged on the support frame 110. The drive assemblies 130 are arranged one-to-one with the locking assemblies 140 and the guide assemblies 120. In this way, the at least two drive assemblies 130 are arranged to lock or unlock the material on both sides in the width direction Y, thereby keeping the center of gravity stable when the material moves in the height direction X, thereby improving the stability of the unstacking of the material.

[0083] It should be noted that the movement trajectory of the drive assembly 130 driving the locking assembly 140 can be a straight line or a curve, which can be determined by the type of drive assembly 130. For example, if the drive assembly 130 is provided with a straight line guide rail, then the movement trajectory of the locking assembly 140 is a straight line. Conversely, if the drive assembly 130 is provided with a curved guide rail, then the movement trajectory of the locking assembly 140 is a curve.

[0084] In combination with any of the above embodiments of the drive assembly 130, it is found that Figure 1The driving assembly 130 comprises a power source 131 and a telescopic member 132. One end of the telescopic member 132 is drivingly connected with the power source 131, and the other end is connected with the locking assembly 140, so that the power source 131 drives the telescopic member 132 to drive the locking assembly 140 to move up and down along the height direction X. In this way, through the driving cooperation of the power source 131 and the telescopic member 132, the telescopic member 132 drives the locking assembly 140 to be linear when the first guide member 121 and the second guide member 122 guide the movement, thereby reducing the moving distance of the unstacking to the greatest extent and improving the unstacking efficiency.

[0085] The power source 131 can be, but is not limited to, a motor, a pneumatic cylinder, a winding machine, etc., and the telescopic member 132 can be a spiral telescopic rod or a linear telescopic rod, etc.

[0086] In some embodiments, the power source 131 comprises a pneumatic cylinder. The telescopic member 132 comprises a telescopic rod. The pneumatic cylinder is used to drive the telescopic rod to move up and down along the height direction X. In this way, as the power source 131, the pneumatic cylinder directly drives the telescopic rod to move linearly, which is different from the motor and other devices that convert spiral movement into linear telescopic driving. This is conducive to improving the telescopic efficiency of the telescopic rod, thereby improving the unstacking efficiency.

[0087] In addition, in order to improve the movement stability of the telescopic member 132, the telescopic member 132 is provided with a transmission body 144. Figure 1 In other embodiments, the unstacking device 100 further comprises a guide rail assembly 160. The guide rail assembly 160 is arranged to extend along the height direction X and is arranged to be spaced apart from the guide assembly 120. The locking assembly 140 is further provided with a guide block. The guide block is in guiding cooperation with the guide rail assembly 160, so that the locking assembly 140 is in guiding cooperation with the guide rail assembly 160. In this way, through the sliding cooperation of the guide rail assembly 160 and the guide block, the guide rail assembly 160 can provide movement limiting for the locking assembly 140, thereby improving the movement stability of the locking assembly 140 during the unstacking of the materials.

[0088] Specifically, in an example, the guide block can be arranged on the transmission body 144. In this way, it is different from being directly arranged on the rotating body 141, which is pushed out when the rotating body 141 moves on the third guide member 123, so that the movement trajectory of the rotating body 141 is arc-shaped, while the movement trajectory of the transmission body 144 can be synchronized with the telescopic member 132 to move up and down along the height direction X, so that the movement trajectory of the transmission body 144 can be linear. Based on this, arranging the guide block on the transmission body 144 makes the guide rail assembly 160 arranged to extend along the height direction X, so that the guide rail assembly 160 does not need to be arranged to be partially arc-shaped, and can also satisfy the movement limiting for the locking assembly 140 during the whole process, thereby maximizing the movement stability of the unstacking.

[0089] It should be noted that the guide rail assembly 160 can be a sliding groove type, a ball type, etc., and is not limited here.

[0090] In other embodiments, the guide rail assembly 160 can be a ball guide rail. In this way, by providing a ball guide rail, the moving resistance of the guide block between the ball guide rails can be reduced, and the moving efficiency of the locking assembly 140 can be improved. Moreover, the balls in the ball guide rail can act as a transition piece for wear during sliding, thereby reducing the scratching and wear of the guide block and the side wall of the guide rail, which is beneficial to protecting the guide rail assembly 160 and the locking assembly 140 and prolonging their service life.

[0091] The number of guide rail assemblies 160 can be multiple. In some embodiments, the guide rail assembly 160 is provided in one-to-one correspondence with the guide block. When two guide blocks are provided along the thickness direction Z of the support frame body 110, two guide assemblies 120 can be provided along the thickness direction Z, so that the moving balance of the transmission body 144 is improved, thereby improving the motion stability of the locking assembly 140.
